§ Mr. Raceasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will reconsider the practice of uprating war 186W widows' pensions by percentage sums and replace it by a system of flat rate cash increases applied to all war widows' pensions irrespective of the year of their husband's death; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RossiThe standard rate war widow's pension is the same for all, regardless of the date of the husband's death. We have no plans to change our method of uprating.
