HC Deb 12 April 1932 vol 264 cc675-6W
Sir R. GOWER

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider the desirability of providing, by regulation or otherwise, that widows of naval men who elect to receive Admiralty pensions instead of State pensions shall be entitled to have returned to them the contributions paid by their deceased husbands under the general Acts relating to widows' pensions?

Sir H. YOUNG

I propose to discuss with my right hon. Friend the First Lord of the Admiralty the general question of the position in relation to the Contributory Pensions Acts of the widows of naval men who are entitled to Admiralty pensions.
