Rejected petition No to CSA charges in the Welfare Reform Bill

More details

The Government is currently debating the Welfare Reform Bill in Parliment. One proposal of this Bill is to charge single parents a fee for having to resort to the Child Support Agency in order to obtain maintenance from absent parents. This will affect the most vulnerable within our society and should be opposed.

"What is the purpose of imposing on the most vulnerable people a charge of this kind?"Labour peer Lord Morris
