1. Figures rounded to nearest £1,000.<\/p>

2. Outstanding Arrears figures are the gross arrears position at the end of each quarter sourced from the Agency\u2019s internal MI and relate to outstanding Non-Resident Parent arrears which are then allocated to the Parliamentary Constituency of the Parent with Care. Due to the different sources, figures may differ slightly from CSA\u2019s Annual Report and Accounts.<\/p>

3. Local Authorities and Parliamentary constituencies are determined by the region/country specified on the National Statistics Postcode Directory. Due to slight differences between the areas specified for local authorities and parliamentary constituencies on CSA's management information, overall totals may differ. The sum of the total arrears for Scotland by Parliamentary Constituency differs from the sum by local authority by 0.01%.<\/p>

4. We are not yet in a position to release full statistics on the 2012 Scheme, administered by the Child Maintenance Service, but when system data becomes available and fully assured they will be released as part of a managed process, which will be pre-announced and in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/220", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Webb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thornbury and Yate"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Steve Webb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-12-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-12-18T12:41:01.02Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-12-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Children: Maintenance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what amount is outstanding in child maintenance arrears in (a) Airdrie and Shotts constituency and (b) Scotland.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3909", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Pamela Nash"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Airdrie and Shotts"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Pamela Nash"} ], "uin" : "218688"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/170557", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Work and Pensions"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/170557/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Department estimates that of those reaching State Pension Age in 2016-17:<\/p>

<\/p>

· 37% will receive at least the full rate of the new State Pension;<\/p>

· 52% will receive less than the full rate of the new State Pension due to having made reduced National Insurance contributions as a consequence of contracting\u2013out of additional pension (SERPS and/or S2P);<\/p>

· 11% will receive less than the full rate of the new State Pension due to not having achieved 35 qualifying years.<\/p>

<\/p>

Percentages have been rounded to the nearest 1%.<\/p>

<\/p>

These individuals will have their own National Insurance record valued at the higher of the old scheme or new scheme rules. Both old scheme and new scheme valuations will take account of periods of contracted out employment.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/220", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Webb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thornbury and Yate"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Steve Webb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-12-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "218675"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-12-18T12:03:30.983Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-12-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "State Retirement Pensions"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate he has made of the proportion of people who will reach state pension age in the 12 months from the commencement date of the single tier pension who will receive a reduced pension as a result of (a) having made reduced National Insurance contributions as a consequence of contracting out of (i) SERPS or (ii) 2SP and (b) failure to attain the qualifying threshold of a contribution record of 35 years.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1384", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mike Weir"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Angus"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Mike Weir"} ], "uin" : "218676"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?answeringDeptShortName=Work+and+Pensions&_page=1&answer.dateOfAnswer=2014-12-18&max-answer.questionFirstAnswered.=2019-05-15T12%3A39%3A20.147Z", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 19, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
