HC Deb 13 February 1967 vol 741 c17W
95 and 96. Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Minister of Social Security (1) whether she will now take steps to allow a widow, whose second husband dies within three years of marriage, to receive a full widow's pension if over the age of 50 years;

(2) whether she will now take steps to allow a widow who remarries to count her former husband's pension contributions towards her own pension;

(3) whether she will now take steps to allow a widow, whose retired husband dies before she is 50 years of age, to continue to receive a supplementary pension.

Mr. Loughlin

To deal adequately with the points raised in the hon. Gentleman's Questions would go beyond the tolerable limits of Parliamentary answers, and we are therefore writing to him.
