32. Mr. Robert Howarth

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has now made a decision on the question of amending the 1968 Amendment Order to the Firemen's Pension Scheme 1966, so that the widow of Bolton Fireman Liptrot, who died on the 16th April, 1968, while trying to rescue three girls trapped at Brackley Colliery, will receive the enhanced pension and gratuity available in certain defined circumstances.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

My right hon. Friend is considering the question and he hopes to reach a decision soon.
