Child Support Agency Operations

EDM number 114 in 1997-98, proposed by Desmond Turner on 12/06/1997.

That this House deeply deplores the unfair inconsistencies long apparent in the operation of the Child Support Agency; notes, for instance, that fathers who have made maintenance arrangements for their former partners are being pursued by the CSA for much higher payments, far in excess of their means, while, on the other hand, there are many women who have never received any maintenance payments at all because of the failure of the CSA to pursue their former partners with sufficient vigour; believes that the CSA is currently concentrating its efforts on soft targets, rather than a consistent enforcement of proper maintenance obligations; and urges the Government to enhance the fairness and effectiveness of the operations of the CSA at the earliest opportunity.

This motion has been signed by a total of 101 MPs, 4 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
