HC Deb 08 July 1937 vol 326 c554
44. Mr. Thurtle

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is prepared to grant an allowance for Income Tax purposes to voluntary contributors under the new Voluntary Contributors' Act, in so far as such contributions are for pension benefits, with a view to giving such voluntary contributors the same advantage as is enjoyed by compulsory contributors, having regard to the fact that when such contributions are returned in pension form they will be liable to tax in the ordinary way?

Sir J. Simon

No, Sir. I would invite the hon. Member's attention to an answer on this subject which was given on 28th April last in reply to a question by the hon. Member for Westhoughton (Mr. Rhys Davies).
