Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill

My Lords—before my noble friend sits down—his position is absolutely right, but can he confirm what I understand to be the case, which is that under the proposed new system, the old arrangement would still apply? That is that if a parent, presumably normally a parent with care, seeks to go from a court order to the CSA, perhaps because of interrupted payments, she none the less has to give the non-resident parent a two-month notice period—a period of grace, so to speak—so that if there have been any misunderstandings, changes of address and so on that can be reconciled between them, there is that space to permit a reconciliation of information, and so that the court order can continue if that, on reflection, is what the non-resident parent is willing to agree to and respect.
