asked the Secretary of State for Social Services on what grounds the words "war widow" have been removed from the front cover of pension order books; what representations he has had on this matter; and if he will make a statement.

I refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member or Staffordshire, South-West (Mr. Cormack) on 16th January—[Vol. 942, c. 99–100.] Representations have been received from the War Widows Association of Great Britain and from a few individuals—mainly war widows.
