The administration of the Child Support Agency is a matter for the chief executive. He will write to the hon. Member with the information requested.
Letter from Stephen Geraghty, dated 7 March 2008:
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 whether employees at the Child Support Agency were given indication of the timescale in which older cases would be put onto the new child support system. [188521]
We have always made clear that the bulk migration and conversion of cases from the old scheme to the new scheme would only take place when the Agency and Ministers are satisfied that the arrangements are working well for new clients. Our people were informed of that position from the outset and it has been reiterated on a number of occasions.
I hope you find this answer helpful.
