§ Mr. MorganTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received in relation to the numbers of police officers threatened with termination of their careers due to indebtedness resulting from assessments of liability as absent parents by the Child Support Agency.
§ Mr. Charles WardleSome Members of Parliament have written to Home Office Ministers on behalf of their constituents about the Child Support Agency's dealings with police officers. They have been informed that the Department of Social Security has responsibility for the Child Support Agency and that it would be for a police officer's senior officer to decide whether and, if so, what management action was appropriate in response to the officer's indebtedness.
