HC Deb 06 December 1966 vol 737 c265W
84. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, as a means of assisting retirement pensions to overcome the difficulties of the rising cost of living, he will seek to allow the first £2 of any retirement pension to be drawn tax free.

Mr. Diamond

No. I do not think my hon. Friend's suggestion would be a suitable way to meet cases of need.
