Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how much has accrued to the public purse from enforcement charges for non-compliance with child maintenance commitments by paying parents in each year since that system has been in operation.

I refer the hon. Member to the written answer I gave the hon. Member for Glasgow South West on 4^th November 2016 [51323] which reflects the information to March 2016 audited by National Audit Office as part of the 2015/16 Audit. Information on fees in the financial year to date will not be available until audit of the 2016/17 Client Funds Account has been completed.
