HC Deb 23 January 1978 vol 942 c487W
Mr. Litterick

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many women are currently being paid war widows' pensions as a result of the death of their husbands whilst on active service in Ulster.

Mr. Orme

The information is not readily available in precisely the form requested, but I can inform my hon. Friend that up to 9th January 1978 177 such pensions had been awarded, of which 51 were to widows of members of the Ulster Defence Regiment.
