§ Dame Irene Wardasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give an estimate of how many retirement pensioners on receiving their increased pensions pay more Income Tax because they have lost their marginal age relief allowance, thus making them financially worse off than before the increase.
§ Sir E. BoyleI am not sure what my hon. Friend has in mind. I do not know 107W of any type of case in which, after receiving a pension increase with no other change in income, a taxpayer's net income, after tax, would be diminished.
