§ Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that there are still a large number of widows who, in their later lives, are finding their financial position difficult, but who, though they lost sons in the War, did not then think it necessary to apply for need pensions; and whether such widows are now debarred from making claims either by the seven years' limit or by other regulation?
§ Mr. F. O. ROBERTSParents whose sons were killed in the War may claim, and, subject to the Warrants and Regulations governing the matter, be awarded a pension at any time if they become incapable of self-support owing to age or infirmity and are in pecuniary need.
