HC Deb 15 December 1893 vol 19 cc1497-8
MR. T. W. RUSSELL

On behalf of the hon. Member for Dublin County, South, I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Vote of £90,000 in the last Parliament to the Irish National Teachers' Pension Fund has placed the fund on a sound financial footing; and, if not, what is the present state of the fund and the probable amount of the deficit; and whether the actuaries have completed their valuation of the fund; if so, when their Report will be in the hands of Members?

COLONEL NOLAN (Galway, N.)

I beg at the same time to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if the Report has yet been made on the state of: the Irish Teachers' Pension Fund; and, if so, when will this be published?

SIR J. T. HIBBERT

The Report of the actuaries on the Irish Teachers' Pension Fund is in the hands of the Treasury, and we are considering the recommendations which we should make upon it. We hope by the commencement of the next Session to lay our conclusions on the Table.

MR. SEXTON

The late Government promised the Report itself; how soon will it be furnished?

SIR J. T. HIBBERT

I will consider the matter.
