§ 61. Mr. Tinkerasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the policy that the people owning their houses and in receipt of supplementary old age pensions would have consideration given to them in respect to payment of war damage contribution, he will say what steps have been taken to make this effective?
§ Sir K. WoodCollectors of taxes, by whom the war damage contribution is collected, have been instructed that in cases such as those to which my hon. Friend refers payment is to be accepted in such instalments as the circumstances of the particular case may justify.
§ Mr. TinkerI do not think that the right hon. Gentleman has got my Question properly. I am dealing with those in receipt of supplementary pensions. I understood from a former reply that they would get some further relief when they applied for it. Some are getting the relief but not all, and if I send information to the right hon. Gentleman, will he examine it and give a general ruling as to what should be done?
§ Sir K. WoodI will certainly examine anything my hon. Friend sends to me.
