HC Deb 28 January 1981 vol 997 cc415-6W
53. Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to ensure that matrimonial maintenance orders can be enforced throughout the EEC, particularly where a marriage partner against whom an order has been made in the United Kingdom moves to another EEC country.

Mr. Mayhew

The United Kingdom has reciprocal arrangements for the recovery of maintenance with all the other member States of the European Community. If the right hon. Member has a particular problem in mind, we should be glad to advise him of the procedures involved.
