HC Deb 19 December 1944 vol 406 cc1637-8W
Mr. M. MacMillan

asked the Minister of Pensions whether it is the intention of His Majesty's Government to amend the present provisions for disabled ex-Service pensioners who marry subsequent to their disablement and have families, so as to grant more adequate wife's allowance and to make allowances in respect of the children as a right of the pensioners.

Sir W. Womersley

I would refer my hon. Friend to the full explanation of the Government's policy in regard to this question given in the Debate on the White Paper (Command 6459) on 20th July, 1943, by the then Lord President of the Council. The views of the Government as then expressed remain unchanged.
