There will be some cases subject to case closure, where compliance has only been secured due to enforcement action we have taken, such as a deduction from earnings order or a deduction order. We are conscious that in these cases we must do everything possible to minimise any disruption caused as a result of case closure and not jeopardise hard won compliance.
On this basis, we are currently considering options as to how these cases can be managed in a way that has as little impact on clients as possible and once the approach has been finalised, this will be made public.
I can confirm that we will continue to seek to collect arrears, where the parent with care wants us to do so, where arrears have arisen on the legacy schemes, after the closure of these schemes, whether or not a new case is opened on the 2012 scheme. No collection charges will be levied for this service.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what powers they have to deal with the false labelling of goods; whether they have considered imposing import restrictions on falsely-labelled goods; and whether they have considered the placing of evidence about false labelling in the hands of the prosecuting authorities.[HL5558]

Where there are sector-specific rules requiring labelling, for example for labels on food or on textile products, those rules include enforcement mechanisms which empower the appropriate enforcement authorities to take action against non-compliant or inaccurate labels, if necessary through the courts.
More generally, the requirement is that information provided to consumers, including information on labels, should be accurate and not misleading. The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 prohibit misleading commercial practices by traders as regards consumers. This includes actions which mislead as to, for example, the properties of products to the extent that the average consumer is likely to make a decision they would not otherwise have made. It also includes misleading omissions which mislead by omitting or hiding material information which as a result is likely to cause the average consumer to make a decision they would not have otherwise made.
The regulations apply criminal offences and penalties and are enforced by local authority trading standards officers and the Office of Fair Trading. These enforcement authorities also have powers to seek formal undertakings not to repeat a particular practice and to take injunctive action in the civil courts. The department and I regularly advise that any evidence of non-compliance with the regulations should be brought to the attention of the enforcement authorities to consider what action may be necessary or appropriate.
We have no plans to impose general import restrictions on goods falsely labelled. Import restrictions must be enforced at the ports. While in some cases it might be relatively easy for the authorities at the ports to establish that a label on a product is false, in others, for example where complicated tests might be necessary, it would not appear to be practical.
It is the responsibility of the trader placing products on the consumer market to ensure that any labels are accurate and comply with the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations. Furthermore, if the retailer can establish that an offence was due to the act or default of another person, and that an offence occurred despite his having taken all reasonable precautions and exercising all due diligence to avoid an offence, then the enforcement authorities also have the power to prosecute the other person in respect of an offence.
