MPs are calling for a new minimum payments scheme to ensure single parents aren't left out of pocket during the coronavirus crisis.
Campaigning SNP MP Marion Fellows said an additional standard child maintenance should be offered to families who have had their payments cut due to the crisis.
The plea comes after it emerged that thousands of single parents are having their child maintenance payments stripped during the coronavirus pandemic, leaving many vulnerable mums and dads unable to feed their children.
Charity Gingerbread said the child maintenance service (CMS) is "allowing non-resident parents to stop or reduce the amount they pay towards the upkeep of their child without any investigation or appeal".
