HC Deb 08 April 1974 vol 872 c69W
Mr. Kinnock

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the total cost to public funds of disregarding pension entitlements in the calculation of personal tax allowances.

Dr. Gilbert

I assume my hon. Friend has in mind the exemption of national insurance pensions from tax: this would cost about £200 million for 1973-74.
