HC Deb 15 December 1952 vol 509 c126W
88. Brigadier Clarke

asked the Minister of National Insurance whether he will consider raising the 10s. non-contributory widows' pension, in view of the rise in the cost of living during the past six years.

Mr. Peake

I assume that my hon. and gallant Friend has in mind the 10s. pension payable to certain widows whose husbands were insured under the repealed contributory pensions Acts. I would refer him to the reply given on 27th October to the hon. Member for Oldham, West (Mr. Hale).
