Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what information her Department holds on the number of incidences where the child maintenance debt of a non-resident parent was registered with a credit rating agency in (a) the last four weeks, and (b) last twenty four weeks.

The Child Maintenance Service does not record this data as there is no facility on the Child Maintenance System to record instances when information has been sent to a Credit Reference Agency.
