Part of the debate – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 4 Mawrth 1947.
The arrangements made after the 1914–18 war enabled an allowance to be granted to the widow of an ex-Serviceman in respect of a child up to but not beyond the age of 21. After that age it was held that the person concerned should be dealt with under any appropriate social service provision. I am afraid that having regard to the long lapse of time there would be insuperable difficulties in now reviewing these arrangements.
