§ Mrs. GoldingTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he has any proposals to enable the widows of service pensioners, who married or remarried after their retirement before 5 April 1978, to be able to benefit from the armed forces pension scheme; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. FreemanThere are no proposals to extend the existing provisions of the armed forces pension scheme as they relate to post-retirement marriages. They are consistent with those of other public service schemes.
