answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>It is a criminal offence under section 32 (8) of the Child Support Act 1991 not to comply with a deduction from earnings order. Failure to comply may result in enforcement action being taken against the employer, which can include a fine of up to £500.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The 2012 child maintenance scheme, administered by the Child Maintenance Service, was opened to all new applicants on 25 November 2013. We are not yet in a position to release full statistics for this scheme. When 2012 system data become 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><p> </p><p>With regard to cases on the 1993 and 2003 schemes operated by the Child Support Agency (CSA), it is not possible to specify the exact number of instances of non compliance with these orders. This is due to the fact that while data are collected on the numbers of deduction from earnings orders not receiving payment, this can be for reasons other than non-compliance, including time delays of the employer implementing the request and the time to action a change in employment circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>However, information on the number of prosecutions under section 32(8) of the Child Support Act 1991 in cases on the 1993 and 2003 schemes can be found on page 48 of the CSA Quarterly Summary of Statistics at the following link:<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/child-support-agency-quarterly-summary-statistics-december-2013" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/child-support-agency-quarterly-summary-statistics-december-2013</a>.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Steve Webb question first answered 08/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 220 label Biography information for Steve Webb
