Brigadier Clarkeasked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if his regulations provide that the Forces Family Pensions Scheme should apply equally to widows of officers and other ranks who served in the Indian Army.
§ Mr. J. FosterExisting regulations do not provide for the inclusion of the Indian Army in any pensionary benefits sanctioned by Her Majesty's Government for the British Army, but I can assure my hon. and gallant Friend that the widows of officers and warrant officers of the Indian Armed Forces whose pensions are governed by the same rules as apply to the corresponding British Services will receive the benefits of the new rules and regulations recently published.
