Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many Child Support Agency cases reviewed as part of the ongoing closure programme have been closed by his Department to date.

As at 31 May 2015, 24,100 cases have been closed as part of the Child Support Agency case closure programme.

Notes:

Figure rounded to the nearest 100.

The figure is made up from cases proactively selected for case closure, and those where an application has been made to the 2012 scheme and a case exists on the 93/03 scheme which is then reactively closed down.
