asked the Minister of Pensions whether pension will be re-issued to totally and permanently incapacitated total orphans over the age of 21 in those cases where the death of the mother occurred before the child reached the age of 21?

The answer is in the affirmative subject to the conditions stated in the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Southwark, Central (Mr. Day) on 27th January, of which I am sending the hon. and gallant Member a copy.
