Children: Maintenance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent progress he has made on consulting on reform to the calculation of Child maintenance.
Answered by Andrew Western
We will announce further details in due course.
Given the significant amount of time since the child maintenance calculation was updated, we need to assess carefully the impact of any proposed changes on all parents that use the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) to ensure they effectively support families and children and that they are introduced in a way which works well for CMS customers.
