HC Deb 10 April 1919 vol 114 cc2241-2W
Major HENDERSON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can undertake to introduce a Clause into the next Finance Bill by which pensions earned by ex-soldiers and ex-sailors will not count as income for the purpose of assessment of old age pensions?

Mr. BALDWIN

The adoption of this suggestion would involve the Amendment of the Old Age Pensions Acts. A Committee has been appointed to consider what alterations should be made in those Acts as regards rates of pension or qualifications.
