Children: Maintenance

Asked by Tom TugendhatConservativeDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 6 January 2026UIN 101414

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many children are included in Child Maintenance Service cases in which the paying parent has been subject to three or more separate enforcement actions for non payment.

Answered by Andrew Western

The information requested on the number of children in Child Maintenance Service cases which have been subject to three or more separate enforcement actions is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
