War Widows: Ex Gratia Pension Payment

Lord Hintze Excerpts

Tuesday 5th March 2024 Lords Chamber

[Lord Harlech (Con)]

I understand what the noble Baroness is asking, but my mental arithmetic is not good enough to multiply the ex gratia payment amount by the number of awards paid out, so I will write to her.

[Lord Hintze (Con)]

My Lords, just briefly, how much is this costing, given how much we are actually going to be giving to these poor people?

[Lord Harlech (Con)]

I think my previous answer addresses the point raised by my noble friend, and I will make sure that he receives a copy of that letter too.
