<p /> <p /> <p>Pursuant to my Written Answer on Monday 20 January 2014, Official Report,
columns 42 - 43W, information on the number of cases in which the Child Support Agency
has started committal proceedings is only readily available from 2010. The table below
shows the number of cases where committal proceedings were started for each of the
last three complete financial years and the current year to date:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Financial
Year</p></td><td><p>Committal Proceedings Started</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>April 2010
– March 2011</p></td><td><p>3270</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>April 2011 – March 2012</p></td><td><p>3560</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>April
2012 – March 2013</p></td><td><p>300</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>April 2013 – December
2013</p></td><td><p>10</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Notes:</p><p>1) Following
a Court Of Appeal decision in October 2012, a review of the Commitment to Prison process
was carried out to ensure it complied with the terms of the judgement given in that
case. Whilst doing so, applications for Commitment to Prison were not brought before
the court. Procedures resumed from March 2013.</p><p>2) Data sourced from the Tallyman
