PENSION ANNUITY SCHEME FOR SOLICITORS Following the enactment of part V of the Finance Act, 1958, which was introduced on the suggestion of the Society, the Council have asked a firm of experts to draw up proposals for a pension annuity scheme which will enable solicitors to make con-. tributions to pensions payable on reaching 65 or 70 years of age. The pension benefits assured by such schemes can usually be arranged on the basis of the number of units contributed by the solicitor during the contribution period. There is no fixed annual premium and the contributor may decide for himself how much he will pay into the fund during any year. Contributions may be deducted from earned income liable to income tax and surtax. A further statement will be published in due course. 35
