9 Nov 2009 : Column 86W—continued
The information requested is provided in the attached table which shows the amount of arrears owed by non-resident parents (NRPs) to the Secretary of State (SoS) and the parent with care (PWC) and the number of NRPs the arrears are owed by.
| Arrears outstanding: September 2009 | ||||||
| Total | SoS | PWC | ||||
| CS2 | CSCS | CS2 | CSCS | CS2 | CSCS | |
| Notes: 1. The Child Support Agency operates cases under two computer systems, CSCS and CS2. 2. The breakdown of non resident parents (NRPs) with outstanding arrears owed to Secretary of State (SoS) and Parent with Care (PwC) will be greater than the total number of non resident parents with arrears as some NRPs will owe money to both SoS and PWC. 3. In the information provided some cases have been excluded where the parent with care owes money. These cases are accounted for in Agency arrears figures, including those used in the Agency's Quarterly Summary of Statistics, which will therefore differ from figures in this response. | ||||||
