HC Deb 17 June 1931 vol 253 cc1763-4W
Mr. L. SMITH

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the finding of the Court of Appeal in the case of Inspector of Taxes versus Beloe, the pensions now paid to civil servants will be governed by the decision recorded in this case?

Mr. PETHICK - LAWRENCE

I would refer the hon. Member to the charging words of Schedule E, namely: "Tax under Schedule E shall be charged in respect of every …pension …payable by the Crown or out of the public revenue of the United Kingdom."
