Soldiers Widows Benefit Bill Aims To Aid Returnees
The Commonwealth Government proposes about £5000 for widows and widowed mothers of returned soldiers in needy housing cases. Assistant Minister Thorby said payments would continue, with the state covering remaining costs if necessary. If instalments cannot be paid the government would meet commitments from a special fund, each case judged on its merits to avoid undue hardship. The bill lifts annual repatriation benefits to £350,000 for returned soldiers and widows.
