HC Deb 08 November 1979 vol 973 c248W
Mr. John Carlisle

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consider the wish of war widows to be represented at the Remembrance service at the Cenotaph on Sunday 11 November.

Mr. Whitelaw

I have received no request from the War Widows Association of Great Britain for war widows to be represented at the official ceremony on Remembrance Sunday, and I am afraid that there would, in any case, be practical difficulties about adding to the number of participants at that ceremony.
