HC Deb 07 August 1972 vol 842 cc278-9W
73. Sir T. Beamish

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what revised terms are envisaged for war widows; and if he will give an assurance that there will be no departure from the established practice whereby war widows' pension rates do not depend upon the date or death or retirement.

Mr. Dean

The existing provisions for the award of war widows' pensions are not currently under review.
