Treatment Of Widows Of Servicemen
EDM number 2 in 1989-90, proposed by John McWilliam on 21/11/1989.
That this House recognises the unfair treatment of war widows of the servicemen who retired before 31st March 1973 and those widows who married their husbands after their retirement from the armed forces both prior and subsequent to the 6th April 1978; and urges Her Majesty's Government to remove these artificial time bars in order that all war widows and widows of servicemen may receive the current rate for those pensions irrespective of the date of their husband's retirement or the date of their marriage.
This motion has been signed by a total of 158 MPs, 17 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
