HC Deb 12 April 1923 vol 162 c1316W
Mr. HAYDAY

asked the Minister of Pensions whether the parent or dependent of a deceased ex-service man who is a widow with several young children and has to stay at home to attend to household duties is eligible for a pecuniary-need pension?

Major TRYON

The grant of a need pension to a parent or dependant is conditional on the existence of personal incapacity for self-support on the part of the claimant. If the hon. Member has any particular case in mind of the type indicated in the question, I should be glad if he would let me have particulars.
