§ Mr. PENNYasked the Minister of Health whether, in the event of the passing of the Adoption of Children Bill, an amendment of the Widows', Orphans' and Old Age Pensions Act will be proposed, to secure that a child adopted as a result of an Adoption Order will have the same rights under the Widows', 243W Orphans' and Old Age Pensions Act as the legitimate child of an insured man or the widow of an insured man?
§ Sir K. WOODProvision is already made by Section 6 of the Widows', Orphans' and Old Age Contributory Pensions Act, 1925, under which if a widow ceased to support the child on its adoption by some third party, the allowance payable in respect of the child could be paid to the adopter. The Bill to which the hon. Member refers does not appear to have any bearing on the Widows, Etc., Act, 1925.
