I propose to take Questions Nos. 154 and 155 together.

The selection of the membership of the Child Maintenance Review Group is designed to include a cross-section of people with knowledge, experience and expertise in this specialised area.

I understand that the Child Maintenance Review Group will be consulting widely and requesting input from the civil society and non-governmental sectors in due course to assist with the work of the Group.
