HC Deb 18 March 1983 vol 39 c293W
1982. Miss Richardson

asked the Attorney-General how many men were taken to court for non-payment of maintenance in (a) 1980, (b) 1981 and (c)

The Solicitor-General

I regret that the information requested by the hon. Member could not be provided without disproportionate cost. It is possible that one of the results of the statistical exercise referred to in the answer of my hon. and learned Friend the Minister of State, Home Office, to the hon. and learned Member for Accrington (Mr. Davidson) on 10 February may provide some of the material for 1983, and, if so, I will certainly communicate with the hon. Member.

1982. Miss Richardson

asked the Attorney-General how many new court orders for maintenance were made in (a) 1980, (b) 1981 and (c)

The Solicitor-General

I regret that the information requested by the hon. Member could not be provided without disproportionate cost.

Miss Richardson

asked the Attorney-General (1) how many existing court orders for maintenance are currently in arrears; and what total amount of money is involved;

(2) how much money is paid by way of maintenance payments under court orders; how much of this is by way of small maintenance payments paid gross and how much by way of large maintenance payments paid net of tax; and in each case how many maintenance payments are involved.

The Solicitor-General

This information is not collected and it would not be possible to do so since orders made in High Court and county court proceedins are for payment to be made direct to the recipient party.
