HC Deb 24 October 1950 vol 478 c321W
58. Lieut.-Commander Braithwaite

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer in what circumstances the pensions of Service officers' widows are stopped or reduced to meet claims of the Inland Revenue.

Mr. Gaitskell

If the widow is liable to Income Tax, tax is deducted from the pension under P.A.Y.E. In no circumstances would the pension be stopped to meet Inland Revenue claims.
