HC Deb 05 June 1961 vol 641 c59W
82. Mr. Watkins

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance when the allowances for the education of children of war widows were last reviewed; what is the present maximum rate of the allowance; and why the allowance has not been increased to meet the increased costs at schools, including public schools.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Very recently, with the result that the maximum rate was increased from £80 to £120 per annum as from the beginning of April.
