question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many requests were made by his Department's Child Maintenance Group to HM Revenue and Customs for information relating to a non-resident parent's unearned income in each year since the commencement of the 2012 statutory child maintenance scheme.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/02/2016 answer text <p>The Information requested is not routinely recorded for management information purposes and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>CMS has direct access to income information held by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) which allows the Child Maintenance Service to capture a much wider range of income types received by non-resident parents. Therefore the definition of income within variations under the 2012 scheme of maintenance has been opened to deal with almost all additional sources of income captured by self-assessment. This is referred to as “unearned income” and captures income derived from property, savings and investments (including dividends), and other miscellaneous incomes.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 29/02/2016 16:28:05 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
