Original motion text
That this House regards the Child Support Act 1991 as a failure, believes that its effect upon single mothers on income support and on second families is injurious, that many women on income support have been left worse off through loss of passported benefits and that single mothers have been intimidated to authorise the Agency to pursue fathers upon pain of losing benefit; and further believes that the imposition of new high bills on fathers of second families is grossly unfair and a serious poverty trap, that the overwhelming amount of money paid over to the Treasury instead of to families is grossly immoral and is in fact a secret tax; and therefore calls for the abolition of the Child Support Act and Agency and for a simpler replacement system to be instituted which will ensure that court maintenance orders are enforced and actually benefit women and their children.
