answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2019 answer text <p>The Child Maintenance Service makes Deduction from Earnings Requests (DER) to enforce arrears from non-resident parents in the Armed Forces. A DER works in a similar way to a Deduction from Earnings Order in that if it is agreed to, regular deductions will be made from the non-resident parent’s wages and passed on to the Child Maintenance Group (CMG). The CMG has a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Defence that supports the operation of deductions from earnings.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 05/09/2019 15:37:42 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
