HC Deb 10 November 1949 vol 469 c155W
119. Mr. S. Shephard

asked the Minister of National Insurance to what extent maternity benefit under the National Insurance Scheme is paid to wives whose confinement takes place outside the British Isles.

Mr. J. Griffiths

Regulations provide that maternity grant and attendance allowance may be awarded to a woman whose confinement takes place abroad if, at the time of the confinement, she is ordinarily resident in Great Britain or is (or is married to), a serving member of His Majesty's Forces.
