HC Deb 18 July 1910 vol 19 cc865-6
Sir J. D. REES

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, seeing that pension for which payment had been made by the recipient by way of compulsory deductions from his pay was practically on the same footing as periodical payments made on account of insurance, he would arrange that pensions earned by such payments should be deducted in calculating total income for Super-tax?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I cannot see my way to adopt my hon. Friend's suggestion.

Sir J. D. REES

In what respect do these deductions differ from payments on account of insurance?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

That is a very large question, which has been discussed many times in connection with Finance Bills.
