HC Deb 02 December 1982 vol 33 c259W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the maximum pension and capital sum, in current prices, from all sources payable to widows of privates who were killed in (a) the 1914–18 war, (b) the 1939–45 war, (c) Northern Ireland before 1973, (d) in Northern Ireland after 1973 and (e) in the Falklands; and if he will set out in detail (i) the sources of payment, (ii) the criteria for them, (iii) the reasons for the differences and (iv) the dates when provision for widows was extended.

Mr. Wiggin

Since the answer is inevitably very long I have written to the right hon. Member and placed a copy in the Library.
