§ MR. J. G. TALBOT (Oxford University)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether, before preparing the Education Estimates for another year, he will consider the case of those teachers who entered the profession under the Minutes of 1846, with a view, if possible, of awarding to all such teachers who are eligible the pensions to which they believe themselves to be entitled, and so removing a cause of distress and auxiety to a class who have laboured long for the public benefit?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT (Sir W. HART DYKE, Kent, Dartford)If my hon. Friend will consider the present position of the teachers to whom he refers in connection with the actual terms of the Minutes of 1846, I think he will arrive at the conclusion that their claims have been fully and fairly met by the action of the Department since the matter was brought under the notice of Parliament in 1884.
§ MR. J. G. TALBOTI beg to give notice that I shall take an opportunity hereafter of calling attention to this matter.
