HC Deb 05 November 1919 vol 120 cc1506-7W
Major MALONE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is yet pre- pared to give effect to the undertakings given last Session—namely, to favourably consider the granting of pensions to widows and orphans of civilians for whom no proper provision has been made?

Mr. BALDWIN

I am not aware of the existence of any such undertaking. On the contrary, my right hon. Friend the Leader of the House stated on the 26th February that the Government were not prepared to propose legislation on these lines.
