HC Deb 13 October 1942 vol 383 c1500
66. Mr. Rostron Duckworth

asked the Minister of Health whether he possesses statistics to show, approximately, the number or percentage of the 800,000 widows on contributory pensions who have taken up paid war work?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health (Miss Horsbrugh)

I regret that the information asked for by my hon. Friend is not available, as widow pensioners are not required to notify the Central Department.
