Healey is reportedly proposing measures in the Budget to shield low-income pensioners from income tax, according to BBC News.
According to BBC News, the proposal concerns low-income pensioners receiving the full, flat-rate state pension. The report says changes are needed to prevent that pension from becoming liable for income tax after it rises in April.
The available BBC report identifies Healey only by surname, so the person's full name and role are not established by the supplied evidence.
The reported intervention could affect the income-tax treatment of pensioners receiving the full state pension, but BBC News does not provide further details of how the proposed protection would work.
