  • General Index to the Journals of the House of Commons
    GENERAL INDEX To the Journals of the House of Commons Volume 257, 2000–01 to Volume 266, 2009–10 Ordered, by The House of Commons to be printed 5 July 2017 PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS PREFACE This General Index to the Journals of the House of Commons, covering 2000–01 to 2009–10, is the twenty-first in a series that began with Erskine May’s extraordinary achievement in indexing the extant Journals from 1547 to 1714. This volume differs from its predecessors in being planned from the outset as a compilation of the Indexes to the Journal of each Session. The advantages in simplifying the preparation of the present decennial Index entail a certain risk that any errors of omission or attribution in an original sessional Index may be inadvertently replicated here. The downward spiral of high prices and dwindling demand for printed copies of the Journal has been mitigated by efforts to make the Journals readily available online. Searching for any text these days generally makes use of a search engine to locate online material and then a Find function within electronic copies of documents. Nevertheless there remains a place for the analytical approach of these Indexes to the Journal which facilitate the swift tracking over decades of precedents which may be affected by the modernisation and evolution of parliamentary procedure. From the 2008–09 Session onwards, the daily Votes and Proceedings began to include information about Questions to and Statements by Ministers among a number of other changes in content and presentation which accompanied the transition to making greater use of software in producing the Votes and Proceedings.

  • Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill As Introduced in the House of Commons on 5Th June 2007 [Bill 118]
    These notes refer to the Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill as introduced in the House of Commons on 5th June 2007 [Bill 118] CHILD MAINTENANCE AND OTHER PAYMENTS BILL _______________________ EXPLANATORY NOTES INTRODUCTION 1. These explanatory notes relate to the Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill as introduced in the House of Commons on 5th June 2007. They have been prepared by the Department for Work and Pensions in order to assist the reader of the Bill and to help inform debate on it. They do not form part of the Bill and have not been endorsed by Parliament. 2. The notes need to be read in conjunction with the Bill. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Bill. So where a clause or part of a clause does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given. BACKGROUND TO THE BILL Child Maintenance 3. The current system of child support maintenance is administered by the Child Support Agency (“CSA”) and dates back to 1993. It was established by the Child Support Act 1991, and developed further by the Child Support Act 1995 and the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000. 4. The CSA was set up to help ensure that parents take financial responsibility for their children. However performance has fallen short of expectations. 5. In February 2006, Sir David Henshaw was asked to consider proposals for the fundamental redesign of the child support maintenance system. His report ‘Recovering child support: routes to responsibility’ was published in July 2006 and set out recommendations to improve both child support maintenance policy and its delivery.
