Children: Maintenance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many variation applications based on diversion of income were received by the Child Maintenance Service in the last financial year.

Answer

The Child Maintenance Service holds data on the number of variation applications made however does not gather data on the specific reason, for example diversion of income.

Therefore, the information requested specific to diversion of income is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
