§ SIR R. TEMPLE (Surrey, Kingston)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether the recently-appointed Committee on the Superannuation of Elementary Teachers has begun its work, and whether progress is being made with its inquiries.
§ *MR. ACLANDThe Committee have held one meeting, at which the course of procedure to be adopted for the preparation of alternative schemes was settled. Owing to the fact that the members of the Committee will mostly be absent on vacation during the next two months, it will be impossible for them to meet during that period; but subsequently it is proposed to hold meetings weekly (or oftener if found desirable) in order that as speedy a solution as possible of the question may be arrived at.
