Amendment proposed—
Page 3, line 4, after 'body,' insert 'or failing strength.'"—(Mr. Crombie.)
§ MR. CROMBIE (Kincardineshire)A the Bill at present stands, no provision is made, so far as I understand, for the case of a teacher who has broken down through failing health. I would like to ask the right honourable Gentleman if the words in the clause, "incapable owing to infirmity of mind and body," would include the case of a teacher who ha broken down through failing health. I it does include, a case of this kind, would it not be wise to make it clear by accepting my Amendment?
§ SIR J. GORSTThe words in this Bill are the words used in the Superannuation Act.
§ MR. CROMBIEDoes it include the case to which I have referred?
§ DR. CLARKIt is clear that the words "incapable owing to infirmity of mind and body" will include a case of failing strength. I think the honourable Member ought to be content.
§ MR. CROMBIEI withdraw my Amendment.
§ Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
