HC Deb 19 February 1931 vol 248 c1443
55. Mr. THOMAS LEWIS

asked the Minister of Health if he is now in a position to state what action he proposes taking regarding certain types of claims for widows' pensions upon which a legal decision has recently been sought?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I am not in a position to add anything to the reply which I gave to my hon. Friend on the same subject on the 12th instant.

Mr. LEWIS

Did not the Court state that this was not a matter for them to, decide, but for the Ministry, and if so, why do they not get on with the job?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I am afraid the question is more complicated than that.
