HC Deb 15 December 1919 vol 123 c53W
Major HENDERSON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, seeing that pensions paid to ex-Service men are tax free, whilst pensions paid to the widows of Service men are taxable, he will undertake to extend to these widows in the next financial year the same benefit as that at present enjoyed by ex-Service men?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer given on the 27th ultimo to the hon. Member for Royton in reply to a question on this subject and to other answers to which I then referred. I am sending him copies.
