Dr Jenny Tonge, Liberal Democrat MP for Richmond Park, has called for more efficiency from the Child Support Agency in tracing absent parents and investigating their income.

Dr Tonge was speaking in a debate on the CSA in Westminster Hall on Wednesday November 12th.

The MP said: "At present, divorced and aggrieved parents are spending all their time chasing the absent parent and doing the CSA's job. They become obsessed and possessed by the issue and my concern is that children suffer as a result."

"The CSA is currently causing more misery for divorced families, not less."
