Written Question
Children: Maintenance
Monday 17th November 2014

Asked by: Ann McKechin (Labour - Glasgow North)

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many applicants in Glasgow North constituency were using the Child Maintenance Service in (a) January and (b) September 2014.

Answered by Steve Webb

The 2012 child maintenance scheme, administered by the Child Maintenance Service, was opened to all new applicants on 25 November 2013. We are not yet in a position to release full statistics, therefore we are unable to provide the information requested. When system data becomes available and fully assured they will be released as part of a managed process, which will be pre-announced and in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.

We have released limited, relevant data on the 2012 statutory child maintenance scheme on an experimental basis. This is available on the GOV.UK website at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-on-the-2012-statutory-child-maintenance-scheme.
