HC Deb 12 December 1922 vol 159 c2606W
Captain ERSKINE-BOLST

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider the desirability of a system of pensions for widowed mothers with the object of alleviating the conditions which prevail when the home is robbed of the bread-winner?

Mr. BALDWIN

I cannot undertake to introduce legislation on this subject in present circumstances.
