POLICEMEN'S WIDOWS.

HC Deb 11 February 1926 vol 191 cc1279-80W

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Home Secretary whether it is the intention of the Government to ameliorate the position of widows of policemen who died before 1st September, 1918?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The Government have no intention of introducing legislation on this subject. I would point out that these widows come within the general provisions of the Act of last year.
