  LORD BOSWELL OF AYNHO
As an amendment to the above motion at end to insert—
“but do propose the following amendment in lieu—

Page 101, line 27, at end insert—

“In section 6 of the Child Maintenance and Other Payments Act 2008

(provision to allow charging of fees by the Commission) after subsection (2)

there is inserted—

“(2A) Regulations under subsection (1) may make provision for

adjustment of fees—

(a) in cases where the parent with care has taken reasonable

steps to establish whether it is possible or appropriate to

make a maintenance agreement (within the meaning of

section 9 of the Child Support Act) and, where having taken

such reasonable steps, it is either not possible or not

appropriate for the parent with care to do so, or

(b) in order to prevent significant diminution of the total

revenue available to the parent with care for the

maintenance of their child.

(2B) Regulations may make provision for the transfer of all or some of

the obligation to pay fees between the parties concerned.

(2C) Regulations may make any other provision for the waiver or

abatement of fees in circumstances where the Secretary of State

deems it appropriate to do so.”.”
