HC Deb 31 October 1939 vol 352 cc1763-4W
Mr. Lipson

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that Mr. F. Williams, of 39, Bloomsbury Street, Cheltenham, lost all his three sons in the last war; that the pension allowed him in respect of them is 8s. 6d. a week; that he is 72 years of age and his income consists only of the old age pension and 6s. a week National Health Insurance for an invalid daughter whom he has to support; and will he accede to the request of Mr. Williams that his pension be increased?

Sir W. Womersley

I am making inquiries in this case and will communicate with the hon. Member in due course.
