HC Deb 18 July 1947 vol 440 cc84-5W
Mr. Baker White

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the tobacco tax concession granted to certain categories of State pensioners will also cover those who receive pensions from private concerns in which they were formerly employed, who are over 65 years of age in the case of men and over 60 years in the case of women and who were National Insurance contributors during the period of their employment.

Mr. Dalton

As I indicated when introducing the relevant Clause of the Finance Bill the precise categories of pensioners to benefit by the relief are to be defined by regulations, but it is not intended to exclude any pensioner within those categories on the ground that he also receives another pension from his former employers
