§ 64. Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the Pensions Minister whether he is aware that local pensions committees are not informing the widows of sailors and soldiers of their right to receive a training Grant, but are advising them to take up work of a purely temporary nature which will cease at the end of the War; and whether he will give an undertaking that training Grants for widows will be available at the end of the War so that those who are now taking up temporary war work will not forfeit their right to the Grant?
§ Mr. PRATT (Lord of the Treasury)My right hon. Friend is not aware of the fact stated in the first part of the question, 717 but he will undertake that the training facilities given by the Ministry shall remain open for a sufficient period after the end of the War, to enable widows, now engaged in war work of a temporary nature, to take advantage of them.
