HC Deb 29 May 1957 vol 571 cc38-9W
Air Commodore Harvey

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance if he will again consider the case of Mrs. Gwen McCarthy, 64, Hobson Street, Macclesfield, and others placed in a similar position, in any review that takes place on pensions to improve their lot.

Miss Pitt

A full review of the conditions for widows' benefits under the National Insurance Scheme, which led to the changes made by the Family Allowances and National Insurance Act, 1956, was completed by the National Insurance Advisory Committee only last year. I have written to my hon. and gallant Friend about the personal case to which he refers.
