PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
CHILD SUPPORT ACT (22 February 1996)
Motion Details
leave out from 'House' to end and add ' firmly supports the principle that parents should honour their obligations to their children and believes that the provisions of the Child Support Act 1991 and subsequent child support legislation are the best way to ensure that all parents make adequate provisions to the best of their abilty for all their children; notes that the CSA's figures for the first six months of this year show that considerable progress has been made in collecting, arranging and assessing maintenance as well as in accuracy and speed of payment; further notes that a few honourable Members (principally Liberal Democrats) continue to provide a mouthpiece for fringe organisations seeking to frustrate the will of Parliament as expressed in child support legislation, and is surprised that in referring to a report now well over twelve months old, honourable Members present an entirely unbalanced and inaccurate picture which ignores all the recent progress which the CSA has made in improving its performance .'.
