§ Dame Irene Wardasked the Minister of Defence how many widows of Regular officers of each rank in the three Armed Services are receiving widows' ordinary pensions; and how many of these are not receiving National Insurance widows' pensions in addition.
§ Mr. SandysThe number of widows of Regular officers, including officers of the Indian Armed Services, receiving widows' ordinary pensions is shown below. I regret that it is not possible to answer the second part of the Question, since the records of the Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance do not include this information.
