HC Deb 25 June 1931 vol 254 c615
50. Mr. GOULD

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the delay and the consequent hardship caused to the widows who now come within the provisions of the amending Widows', Orphans', and Old Age Contributory Pensions Act, he will expedite payment at the earliest possible date?

Mr. GREENWOOD

Yes, Sir.

Viscountess ASTOR

Are all the necessitous widows getting pensions? They were promised them.
