Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, when he will bring into force section 40 of the Child Maintenance and Other Payments Act 2008.
We are exploring bringing into force powers laid out in the Child Maintenance and Other Payments Act 2008, providing for the disclosure of payment information to credit reference agencies. This would be subject to a public consultation before any regulations were laid in Parliament.
