§ Mr. Richard Wainwrightasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he has plans to review the general position of widows in relation to welfare benefits.
§ Mr. OrmeNo. Under the new pensions scheme due to come into operation in April 1978, widows' benefits, like 493W retirement pensions, will be earnings-related. If, however, the hon. Gentleman has any particular problem in mind, perhaps he will let me know.
