§ COLONEL BLUNDELL () Lancashire, InceTo ask the Secretary to the Board of Education whether, with reference to the Second Schedule of the Education (England and Wales) Bill, teachers in a voluntary school transferred, under the operation of the Bill, to the County Council will be treated in precisely the same way as teachers in a board school are to be treated when transferred; and whether, with reference to Clause 19 of the Second Schedule of the Bill, teachers in a voluntary school who suffer any pecuniary loss under the operation of the Bill when passed, by the abolition of office or by diminution of or loss of fees or salary, will be treated in precisely the same way as teachers in a board school.
(Answered by Sir William Anson.) Teachers in a voluntary school are not transferred under the operation of the Bill to the County Council. The Schedule does not give any greater security of tenure to either class of teacher than was possessed before.
