Clause 6
Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill
10:30 am
Tim Boswell (Daventry, Conservative)
As ever, the hon. Gentleman is making a measured case. However, does he agree that, even if we do not want to tie down explicitly to the text of the Bill any instructions to CMEC, it would be unfortunate if the charging regime were to be operated penally in any way? It is one thing to give a measure of incentive, but it would be another to depart from cost structure or seek to punish individuals who chose to use the service.
