§ Mr. Marksasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to expedite consideration by the staff of Her Majesty's Inspector of Taxes of liability for taxation of job release pensions, so that such pensioners are not overtaxed for considerable periods.
§ Mr. RidleyTax offices have already been instructed to deal urgently with cases involving payments under the job release scheme. I have written to the hon. Member today about delays which have occurred in the office in Cardiff dealing with the taxation of allowances paid under the scheme.
