HC Deb 05 March 1919 vol 113 cc425-6W
Mr. JOHN DAVISON

asked the Pensions Minister whether, in the case of demobilised men who die whilst on their twenty-eight days' furlough pending discharge from the Army, the widows of such men will be, or are, entitled to a widow's pension?

Sir J. CRAIG

A full pension will be granted to the widow (if she is otherwise eligible) of any soldier who dies during his twenty-eight days' furlough pending discharge as the result of wounds, injuries or disease attributable to or aggravated by Army service or of disease which was contracted or which commenced on active service.
