§ MR. HEDGES (Kent, Tonbridge)To ask the President of the Board of Education to what account have been placed the contributions, under The Elementary Teachers' Superannuation Act, 1898, of these teachers who died before reaching the age of sixty-five and received no benefit under the Act; and whether he is able to say when the Report of the present revaluation will be made public.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) All contributions received by the Board of Education under the Elementary School Teachers (Suparannuation) Act, 1891, including these specially referred to in the Question, are paid over monthly to the National Debt Commissioners as required by Section 3 (2) of the Superannuation Act. In reply to the second paragraph of the Question I have to say that no revaluation has yet been decided on, still less begun, and I am not yet in a position to say when the actuarial investigation which is being conducted for the Board of Education and the Treasury will be completed.
