HC Deb 20 March 1995 vol 257 cc72-3W
Mr. Duncan

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the number of living post-1973 war widows who have at any time been in receipt of an attributable forces family pension.

Mr. Soames

This information is not available. An attributable forces family pension ceases on death or remarriage and we have no record of whether those whose pensions ceased on remarriage are still living.

Mr. Duncan

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many post-1973 war widows in receipt of an attributable forces family pension have subsequently remarried, in each year for which figures are available.

Mr. Soames

This information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

Mr. Duncan

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the number of living post-1973 war widows currently in receipt of an attributable forces family pension.

Mr. Soames

I refer the hon. Member to my answer of 16 March,Official Report, column 719.
