HC Deb 22 May 1996 vol 278 cc277-8W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many representations he received in the first three months of 1996, regarding the working of the Child Support Agency; and if he will make a statement. [29726]

Mr. Andrew Mitchell

Ministers received 640 letters and representations from hon. Members on child support issues during the first three months of 1996. This compares with 969 received in the first three months of 1995 and reflects the improvements we have made to the scheme since then.
