Widows and One-parent Families

HC Deb 22 March 1979 vol 964 c698W

29. Mr. George Rodgers

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what recent consultations he has held with organisations representing widows and one-parent families.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

On 25 January I met representatives of the National Council for One-Parent Families and Gingerbread, and on 21 February I received a joint delegation from the all party group for widows and one-parent families and the National Association of Widows. I have sent reports of both meetings to my right hon. Friend.
