§ 7. Miss Herbisonasked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance if he will so amend the regulations that payment o[...] widowed mother's allowance may be made in respect of children in approved schools particularly during the periods they spend at home.
§ The Minister of Pensions and National Insurance (Mr. Richard Wood)If and when the Family Allowances and National Insurance Bill receives the Royal Assent, I propose to make regulations which will have the effect of removing the present bar to the payment of widowed mother's personal allowance to a widowed mother whose only child is at an approved school. I am writing about this to the hon. Lady, and to the hon. Member for East Ham, South (Mr. Oram), who recently raised the matter.
§ Miss HerbisonI am quite certain that my hon. Friends who have raised this matter will be pleased with the right hon. Gentleman's reply.
