§ Mr. D. GRENFELLasked the Minister of Health whether a widow's pension is payable to a widow with dependent children whose husband died while working in Canada in 1914, the widow having returned home immediately after her husband's death with her family of five children, three of whom are still below the age of 16 and attending a day school?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINOn the facts stated it would appear that the case does not satisfy the condition that the normal occupation of the husband at the time of his death must have been employment in respect of which contributions would have been payable under the Contributory Pensions Act if it, had then been in force, but if the widow makes a formal claim the case will be investigated and the decision announced to her.
