HC Deb 29 January 1968 vol 757 c207W
7. Mr. James Davidson

asked the Minister of Social Security what assistance she plans to give to widowers with children to support, who cannot afford to pay the wages of a housekeeper.

Mrs. Hart

Both the National Insurance and Supplementary Benefit schemes provide help for widowers with dependent children when they cannot earn. I do not think that in practice the schemes can go further in this field.
