Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the total amount of uncollected child maintenance payments was under the Child Maintenance Service in each quarter of the last three years.

The information requested is published in Table 9 (How much child maintenance the Child Maintenance Service has arranged) of the quarterly Child Maintenance Service statistics, which are available here:

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/child-maintenance-service-august-2013-to-december-2018-experimental

The latest published statistics include data to December 2018.

Table 9 gives the cumulative total, at the end of each quarter, of maintenance arranged through the Child Maintenance Service that had not been paid, and now needs to be collected through the Collect & Pay service.
