HC Deb 27 March 1907 vol 171 c1822
MR. MURPHY (Kerry, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether the provisions relating to the pension fund in the present Education Bill, place the teachers of Catholic schools in Scotland in as good a position as the teachers in other schools; and, if not, whether he will take steps to safeguard their position.

MR. SINCLAIR

I must refer the hon. Member to the provisions of the Bill, which will be circulated to Members shortly.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

Is it proposed to make any provision for these teachers in the Bill to be brought in shortly?

MR. SINCLAIR

The Bill will be in the hands of hon. Members in two or three days. I have declined the requests of hon. Members to state in advance its provisions, and I must ask the hon. Member to be good enough to wait until he sees the Bill. It has gone to the printers.
