§ 6. Mr. Brooksasked the Minister of Social Security whether she has now decided when to embark upon her study of the employment opportunities available to widows.
§ Mr. BrooksWould my right hon. Friend consider expediting this matter in view of the undoubted difficulties which many widows face? Will she consider especially extra assistance for the young widow who might have to seek employment later in life and might require assistance on the lines of the Remploy scheme?
§ Mrs. HartI am well aware of the problem of young widows. I should like to consider these proposals and the best way of tackling the problem.
