Lords amendment to Welfare Reform Bill exempting parents from fees for statutory child support services where they had taken ‘all reasonable steps’ to enter into voluntary arrangement has been overturned in Commons by 318 votes to 257.

However, during debate leading up to vote, Maria Miller announced concession that fee reduced to £20.
