Alison,
A letter was circulated to local authority chief executives from the CSA dated 5 April 2001. This was referred to in a post to this list by Dave Uppington dated 11 April 2001. The letter refers to new legislation, the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000 and supporting regulations and states...
"From 31 January this year [2001], measures came into effect which:
- make it a criminal offence to fail to provide information required by the Child Support Agency, or to provide false or misleading information."
Fairly sweeping powers, but like any other disclosure under statute, I would still expect them to quote the relevant legislation they are using in any request for information.
Allan

In fact, almost any central government site is unintuitive and slow - or
makes your browser crash. Conspiracy theorists could have a field day.
And if anyone can tell me a fast way to find where in the Child Support
Regulations it says the CSA has a right to be supplied with information
about a data subject's address, I'd be forever grateful. [NB we are not a
public authority.]
Cheers
