Written question asked by Jacob Rees-Mogg (Conservative) on Thursday, 23 May 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 4 June 2019. It was answered by Will Quince (Conservative) on Wednesday, 5 June 2019 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.


Children: Maintenance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many of the 1,193,200 cases with no current liability from the 1993 and 2003 Child Maintenance Schemes that there were at March 2012 have been written-off by the Child Support Agency.

Answer

The information is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost. Information on cases written off since 13th December 2018, when the write off process began, will be published in June 2019 (number of cases) and September 2019 (amounts). Information on the planned changes to the Child Support Agency Quarterly Statistical Summary to incorporate this information can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/child-support-agency-statistics-publication-strategy
