HC Deb 03 June 1943 vol 390 c375W
Mr. McKinlay

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he has considered the representations from the Dumbarton County Council on the pension rights of parents whose sons have lost their lives on service; and what action he proposes to take?

Sir W. Womersley

These representations relate to the grant of a flat rate pension to parents in all cases irrespective of means. This matter was raised in the recent Debate on War Pensions, when I explained that I was not prepared to recommend that the proposal should be accepted and further consideration has not led me to change my view.
