§ Mr. Onslowasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what further attempts he has made to alleviate the position of overseas colonial service pensioners whose liability for tax has been increased by devaluation.
§ Mr. DiamondIn most cases the question of the overseas tax liability of these overseas colonial service pensioners is a matter for the Governments responsible for the payment of their pensions. Such pensioners resident in this country have not incurred any greater United Kingdom tax liability as a result of devaluation.
§ Mr. Onslowasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the benefit to the balance of payments resulting from a decision to assume direct responsibility for all payment of over- 364W seas service pensions to pensioners resident in the United Kingdom, resulting in such pensions ceasing to be liable to overseas Income Tax.
§ Mr. DiamondNone, as no such decision has been made.
