I apologise to my hon. Friend for the case which she has brought to my attention, where there had been a delay which I regret. In most cases, however, when a woman becomes a widow she retains her pension book and any increase in pension to which she is eligible as a single person is paid later by Giro cheque. But if my hon. Friend has another case in mind where the system has broken down, I will gladly investigate it.
