§ 49. Mr. Donald Stewartasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will seek to alter the law so that, on the death of widows of war-wounded men from the First World War who could not pay stamps on account of total disablement, death benefit should be payable.
§ Mr. DeanIt is possible for death grant to be paid on the basis of credits rather than paid contributions. If the hon. Member has a particular case in mind and will let me have details I will gladly look into it.
