HC Deb 18 November 1918 vol 110 c3197
66. Mr. E. HARVEY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the hardship caused by the lack of any adequate system to provide pensions for the widows of Civil servants who have died in office or after superannuation; and whether the Government intend to remedy the existing position?

Mr. BALDWIN (Joint Financial Secretary to the Treasury)

The Government is not prepared to propose an amendment of the Civil Superannuation Acts, 1834–1914, in the sense suggested.
