HC Deb 28 November 1967 vol 755 c68W
99. Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Defence why a member of the Armed Forces, who has earned an entitlement to a pension for his widow as a result of his service, loses that entitlement if he marries after he has retired.

Mr. Reynolds

This is the normal practice in occupational schemes in the public sector, but I shall be glad to hear from the hon. Member about any particular case of hardship.
