The information for 2013 will take time to collate. I will write to the hon. Member as soon as it is available.

Substantive answer from Anna Soubry to Katy Clark:

I undertook to write to you in answer to your Parliamentary Question about widows who voluntarily surrendered their Armed Forces Scheme 1975 (AFPS 75) pension on 13 January 2014 (Official Report, column 439W).

There were ten AFPS 75 widows payments voluntarily surrendered in 2013.
