HC Deb 15 December 1953 vol 522 c23W
Sir F. Markham

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the approximate cost annually of extending the tobacco duty relief scheme to Army, Navy and Air Force pensioners over 60 years of age.

Mr. R. A. Butler

No estimate is possible, since it is not known how many of these pensioners are also receiving other pensions which entitle them to tobacco duty relief under the present scheme.
