Charges make a small contribution to a service that is heavily subsidised by the taxpayer.</p><p>It is not possible to forecast with confidence the projected monthly income from fees and charges in the Child Maintenance Service as this is sensitive to several factors, which includes the volumes of applications, the size of the caseload and client behaviour. It will also be sensitive to outcomes from the Child Support Agency case closure process, as cases are not automatically transferred.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 04/11/2016 14:24:13 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
