HC Deb 25 July 1950 vol 478 c36W
80. Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he will undertake a review of the rates of pension payable to widows of members of the Armed Forces killed on duty.

Mr. Marquand

The pension provisions for the widow of the Service man are much better than those applicable to comparable widows under the National Insurance Act. In the Government's view it would not be right to increase this difference.
