HC Deb 11 November 1957 vol 577 c7W
7. Brigadier Clarke

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance if he will take some action to improve the position of the 10s. widow.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Following a careful review of the position of these widows a number of them were given additional benefits under the Family Allowances and National Insurance Act, 1956, and I do not think there would be any justification for reopening this matter.
