HC Deb 22 July 1937 vol 326 c2411
68. Mr. Mabane

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider an amendment of the Widows', Orphans' and Old Age Contributory Pensions Acts to provide that a woman may draw a pension as an unmarried wife under the same conditions as women were allowed to receive separation allowances as unmarried wives of soldiers during the War?

Sir K. Wood

I am afraid that I could not undertake to introduce amending legislation for this purpose.
