§ Miss Emma NicholsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security (1) if he will supplement the pensions of war widows whose husbands, while holding United Kingdom citizenship, were killed in the service of a Commonwealth country, whose pensions they now receive, to bring them up to the level of war widows whose husbands were killed while serving in the United Kingdom armed forces;
(2) if he will supplement the pensions of war widows whose husbands, while holding United Kingdom citizenship, were killed in the service of a Commonwealth country during either of the world wars and whose pensions they now receive, to bring them up to the level of war widows whose husbands were killed while serving in the United Kingdom armed forces.
§ Mrs. Gillian ShephardThe pensions paid to war widows by other countries are matters for those countries. There is no provision under the war pensions scheme to pay pensions to widows of men who died as a result of service in the armed forces of another country.
