The Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission is responsible for the child maintenance system. I have asked the Child Maintenance Commissioner to write to the hon. Member with the information requested and I have seen the response.
Letter from Stephen Geraghty:
In reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about the Child Support Agency, the Secretary of State promised a substantive reply from the Child Maintenance Commissioner as the Child Support Agency is now the responsibility of the Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission.
You asked the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what (a) value and (b) percentage of payments to the Child Support Agency were made by credit card in each of the last three years. [318743]
The value and percentage of payments to the Child Support Agency made only by credit card is not available.
I am sorry on this occasion I cannot be more helpful.
