§ Mr. David Steelasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will now undertake a review of pension awards to war widows.
§ Mr. DeanWar widows' pensions were raised only last month when, for example, the basic rate went up by £1.30 a week to £10.10, an increase of over 14 per cent. on the rate introduced in October 1972. They will be reviewed again next year at the same time as social security benefits generally.
