HC Deb 04 March 1969 vol 779 c78W
Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will undertake a study of the position of retired persons living mainly on investment income having regard to the level at which Surtax commences in these circumstances compared with the position of other retired persons whose income is classified as earned income; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Diamond

I am aware of the point which underlies the hon. Member's Question but I cannot anticipate my right hon. Friend's Budget statement.
