HC Deb 24 March 1942 vol 378 c1833W
Sir J. Wardlaw-Milne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that the payment of an annuity represents not interest alone, but partly a refund of principal, he will consider confining taxation on annuities in future to such a portion as represents the interest payment?

Sir K, Wood

I fear I could not see my way to introduce legislation at the present time with regard to the taxation of annuities.
