HC Deb 22 December 1919 vol 123 cc1041-2W
Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the widow of a naval officer killed in the War is entitled to receive any pension if she remarries; and, if so, on what basis?

Dr. MACNAMARA

No, Sir. The pension ceases on remarriage, but is restored in the event of the death of the second husband. Widows' pensions in the case of wives of officers killed during the War or dying of disease are now, however, a matter for the Ministry of Pensions, and, not the Admiralty.
