HC Deb 20 March 2002 vol 382 c418W
David Hamilton

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what assessment has been made of the impact of the pensioners tax credit on pensioners in receipt of modest occupational pensions who are being taxed. [31353]

Mr. McCartney

Pension credit, which is not a tax credit, will have a positive impact on the small proportion of recipients with modest occupational pensions who also pay tax, as pension credit itself is tax free.
