HC Deb 24 October 1966 vol 734 c108W
78. Mrs. Lena Jeger

asked the Minister of Social Security how many women have been refused widows' pensions on the grounds of inadequate proof of the death of their husbands; and in how many of these cases the courts have issued certificates of presumption of death.

Mrs. Herbison

I regret that this information is not available although it is clear that the numbers are small. I am writing to my hon. Friend.
