Mr. Fisher: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many self-employed people have been pursued (a) successfully and (b) unsuccessfully for money owed to the Child Support Agency in each of the past seven years. [211717] Mr. Pond: The administration of the Child Support Agency is a matter for the Chief Executive, Mr. Doug Smith. He will write to the hon. Member with the information requested. Letter from Mr. Doug Smith to Mr. Mark Fisher, dated 21 February 2005: In reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about the Child Support Agency the Secretary of State promised a substantive reply from the Chief Executive. Your asked the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many self-employed people have been pursued (a) successfully and (b) unsuccessfully for money owed to the Child Support Agency in each of the past seven years. I am unable to provide the information you seek. I can however say that on the new scheme at the current time there are around 7,000 cases where calculations have been made under the new child support arrangements and the main source of income is derived from self employment. Of these payments are being received on around 3,900 cases. The new computer system also contains around 3,500 cases where the calculation of maintenance is made under the `old rules' and the non resident parent is categorised as self employed. Payments are being received on around 2,500 of these cases. Equivalent information for earlier years for `old scheme' cases is as follows--the information relates to August in each year: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. August Number of cases Estimated number in payment 2003 29,000 19,400 2002 29,000 18,900 2001 27,000 16,700 2000 25,000 14,500 1999 23,000 13,100 1998 18,500 10,400 _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
