HC Deb 23 January 1940 vol 356 c413W
Mr. Tomlinson

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that the death of a full-time auxiliary fireman, occurring as the result of an illness con-traded in the course of and arising out of his occupation, does not entitle the widow to a service pension under the Civilians (Personal Injuries) Scheme; and will he take steps to amend the scheme in order to make such provision?

Sir W. Womersley

I take it that the hon. Member has in mind a case on which we have recently been corresponding. I have called for a further report on this case and will communicate with him again as soon as possible.
