HC Deb 07 May 1936 vol 311 cc1895-6W
Mr. D. SOMERVILLE

asked the Minister of Pensions whether any estimate has been formed of the amount of money that would be needed to ensure that the wife of every ex-service man treated in his Departmental hospitals was in receipt of an adequate allowance during the absence of her husband?

Mr. HUDSON

No, Sir. I am satisfied that the financial arrangements made by the Royal Warrants and by the concession which I announced in the House on the 22nd October last afford adequate provision in the circumstances referred to by the hon. Member.
