HL Deb 04 November 2004 vol 666 cc46-7WA
Lord Northbourne

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How much debt from non-resident parents was written off by the Child Support Agency in the year to March 2004; and whether this sum has been made up by the Government to the parents within care to whom it was owed. [HL4706]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Work and Pensions (Baroness Hollis of Heigham)

The agency does not have powers of debt write-off and therefore no debt in respect of non-resident parents was written off in the year to March 2004.
