To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions

(2) if he will place in the Library a copy of the letter sent to parents with care which informed them that their non compliant non-resident parent's name would be displayed on the Child Support Agency (CSA) website unless they objected.

Letter from Stephen Geraghty, dated
In reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about the Child Support Agency, the Secretary of State promised a substantive reply from the Chief Executive.
You asked the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how the 100 parents with care written to by the Child Support Agency (CSA) in June 2007 informing them that their non compliant non-resident parent's name would be displayed on the CSA website unless they objected were selected (143588), and
If he will place in the Library a copy of the letter sent to parents with care which informed them that their non compliant non-resident parent's name would be displayed on the Child Support Agency (CSA) website unless they objected (143589).
The Agency identified those non-resident parents who were successfully prosecuted from January to March 2007 for either supplying incorrect information or failing to provide information.
We did not write to the parents with care where our records indicated that there was a possibility that the non-resident parent was potentially violent, where the case status was 'closed' or where there was insufficient contact details for the parent with care.
I have placed a copy of the letter sent to the parents with care in the Library, as requested.
I hope you find this answer helpful.
