If my hon. Friend is taking credit for what the Government have done for war widows, I support him completely because they have done more than any other. But if he is saying that that is enough, we do not agree. Those campaigning for the war widows will not give up and we have public support. The Government have two options: one is to give in gracefully, and the other is to fight and to give in eventually. I urge the Government to give in gracefully.
