The below table gives the number of Paying Parents on the Child Maintenance Service, who, at the end of each quarter, were using the Collect & Pay service with a Deduction from Earnings Order. Figures are rounded to the nearest 100. These figures count all Paying Parents using a Deduction from Earnings Order, regardless of whether any maintenance had been paid in that quarter. The figures do not include Deduction from Earnings Requests.
