HC Deb 28 June 1938 vol 337 c1740W
Mr. Joel

asked the Minister of Health whether he has any record of the number of widows receiving Poor Law assistance because, although throughout their lives they had assumed either that they themselves had been properly insured or that their husbands had been properly insured, they have been told, on eventually making their claim, that their circumstances did not warrant their coming under the scheme?

Mr. Elliot

I regret that the information desired by my hon. Friend is not available in my Department.
