War Widows (Rent Allowance)

HC Deb 16 June 1950 vol 476 c50W

Mr. G. Hutchinson

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he will consider restoring to the war widows a rent allowance similar to the rent allowance paid during the war.

Mr. Marquand

The provision for a rent allowance for war widows of "other ranks" with children, introduced with effect from 16th August, 1943 (Cmd. 6459), is still a feature of the pension schemes.
