HC Deb 19 June 1907 vol 176 c456
MR. H. H. MARKS (Kent. Thanet)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, for the purposes of the income-tax in the current year, the pensions of civil servants and of naval and military officers are being treated as earned or as unearned income.

MR. RUNCIMAN

No distinction will or can be made between "earned' and" unearned" incomes fur the purposes of the income-tax until the Finance Bill now before Parliament has become law.
