HC Deb 25 July 1960 vol 627 c90W
Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance if, in view of the circumstances of Mrs. W. C. Fletcher, of 8, Trentham Avenue, Willenhall, details of whom have been sent to him by the hon. Member for Wednesbury, he will consider the payment of a widow's pension to this lady.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

As I have explained in my letter of 20th June to the hon. Member, the conditions for a widow's pension are not satisfied in this case and my right hon. Frind has no power to do what he suggests.
