WIDOWED PARENTS' BENEFITS

EDM number 316 in 1993-94, proposed by Roger Berry on 11/01/1994.

That this House notes that whilst there is a widowed mother's allowance there is no such support for widowed fathers and their children, and that this arises from the benefit system's outdated assumptions about the roles of men and women as parents; believes that motherless children deserve the same opportunities for parental attention and the same living standards as fatherless children; and therefore calls upon the government to provide equal benefits for all widowed parents and their children.

This motion has been signed by a total of 135 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
