§ Major LEIGHTONasked the Minister of Pensions whether he will inform the House if there is any difference in the treatment of the widow of an ex-Service man who at the date of death was receiving an allowance under the scheme agreed to by the Government in connection with the over seven years' cases and the widow of an ex-Service man who was pensioned within seven years; whether such widows are granted the same facilities of claim and appeal; and, if not, whether he proposes to take any steps to bring the two cases into line?
§ Mr. F. O. ROBERTSI would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer which I gave on 2nd December last to the hon. and gallant Member for the Fairfield Division of Liverpool (Major Cohen), of which I am sending him a copy.
