HC Deb 28 January 1980 vol 977 c475W
Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations he has received from the National Association of Widows and other widows' organisations regarding legislation for a widow's charter on human rights.

Mr. Prentice

I have seen a copy of the "Widow's Charter 1980"circulated by the National Association of Widows. I am well aware of the association's views on the items concerning national insurance, which have been raised with my right hon. Friend at a meeting with representatives of the association some months ago and in correspondence.
