Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill

My Lords, I am extremely grateful to the Minister. Of course, I did not in any way want these amendments to give licence to what the Minister called inappropriate access to information and its disclosure. Again, I was using this schedule as something of a hook on which to hang the situation that I described in moving the amendment. I still believe that the use of secondees from HMRC could speed up the process quite dramatically as long as they were allowed access, first, to their former colleagues and, secondly but arguably not quite so importantly, to the files that they were working on when appropriate to the case with which they are dealing together with the CSA or CMEC. The parliamentary Answer given suggests that neither of those two things will happen if there is no contact. As I said, the Answer to the Question was ““none””.
