Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government what their intended timeline is for the application of the planned reduction of the income tolerance from 25 per cent to 15 per cent for child maintenance calculations.

Changing the income tolerance from 25 to 15 per cent will require amendments to legislation that will be subject to Parliamentary approval. The Department is currently developing an implementation plan considering plans to bring forward the changes as Parliamentary time allows.
