This process is iterative, and so the impacts of the testing will be fully evaluated with equality impacts reassessed in accordance with the evaluation results.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2018 answer text <p>The Child Maintenance Service includes two service types: ‘Direct Pay’ where payments are arranged and agreed between parents, and ‘Collect &amp; Pay’ where payments are collected and paid to the receiving parent by Child Maintenance Service.</p><p>The Department does not record data for direct pay compliance. If the paying parent <ins class="ministerial">does not</ins><del class="ministerial">don't</del> pay they can be moved onto the Collect and Pay at the discretion of the child maintenance service. The department does hold data on the compliance of Collect and Pay arrangements. Please refer to Table 7 of the Child Maintenance Service Statistics.</p><p> </p><p>Data on compliance is recorded separately to data on employment status<ins class="ministerial"> and cannot be easily linked.

We believe it would take longer than 3 and half days to match the compliance of a paying parent with their employment status. As a result, under section 12 of the Freedom of information Act the department is not therefore obliged to comply with your request and we will not be processing it further.</del></p><p> </p><p>The Child Maintenance Service Statistics <del class="ministerial">which shows overall compliance</del> <ins class="ministerial">ca</ins>n be found here:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/child-maintenance-service-august-2013-to-june-2018-experimental" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/child-maintenance-service-august-2013-to-june-2018-experimental</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 16/10/2018 16:11:07 question first ministerially corrected 12/11/2018 12:22:59 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson previous answer version 78842 answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
