Mr. ALFRED T. DAVIESasked the Minister of Pensions if he will reconsider the Clause in the Royal Warrant which states that any woman who marries a man after his discharge from the forces will not, for purposes of compensation or pension, be considered a widow if the man should die owing to disability certified to have been occasioned by his military or naval service; and whether his attention has been called to instances of great hardship under this Regulation?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI must refer the hon. Member to the reply given to a similar question which was put by the hon. Member for Rossendale (Mr. Waddington) on the 17th ultimo, of which I am sending him a copy.
