HC Deb 21 June 1894 vol 25 c1644
SIR A. SCOBLE (Hackney, Central)

I beg to ask the Attorney General whether pensions to the wives and children of members of the Indian Civil Service, which are provided from funds contributed partly by the members of that Service, and partly by the Government of India, are property liable to aggregation within the meaning of Section 2 (d) of the Finance Bill, or will be taken into consideration in estimating the value of the estate of deceased members of that Service?

*THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir J. RIGBY,) Forfar

I have not been able to look into the provisions of the Indian Pensions Act, but primâ facie I should say that such pensions will fall within Sub-section (d) of Clause 2 of the Bill.
