HC Deb 13 February 1941 vol 368 c1532W
Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Health whether he will arrange for the children's allowances now payable to widows to be continued from the children's 14th birthday until the end of the term they leave school?

Mr. E. Brown

I have no power to make such an arrangement as the Contributory Pensions Acts provide that the allowances payable in respect of a child shall continue to be paid for any period during which he is at school between his 14th birthday and the 31st July next following his 16th birthday.
