§ 24. Colonel Sir ARTHUR HOLBROOKasked the Financial Secretary to the 429 Treasury whether he will consider the treatment of pensions awarded to naval, military, and civil servants as earned increment in the assessments for income tax?
§ Mr. McNEILLA pension is normally treated as earned income for Income Tax purposes, and I am not aware that there is any exception to this rule in the class of case to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers. If, however, he has in mind any case in which a pension is being dealt with differently, and will let me have the necessary particulars, I will gladly have the matter investigated, and will communicate the result to him in due course.
