Axed agency spent £60k on makeover

It will soon be taken over by a new organisation, but the Child Support Agency was yesterday reported to have spent £60,000 on an image makeover.

Disclosures obtained by the Sun claim the government agency, which has a backlog of 170,000 cases, spent taxpayers’ cash on “brand development.”

Philip Hammond, shadow Treasury spokesman, told the paper that ministers had frittered away money on CSA “vanity.”

A new organisation called the Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission will be set up in 2008 to replace the troubled CSA.
