To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many applications to the 2012 statutory child maintenance scheme made since January 2015 have been from parents whose previous Child Support Agency (CSA) case was shut down as part of the phased CSA case closure programme.

Approximately 3,800 applications made to the 2012 child maintenance scheme between the 01 January 2015 and 31 May 2015 were made by parents who previously had a case with the Child Support Agency, which was closed as part of the case closure programme. This is broadly in line with our current planning assumptions at this early stage of the case closure process.
