§ Sir JOHN JARDINE (on behalf of Mr. Watt)asked whether officers other than teachers employed by central institutions, provincial committees for the training of teachers, and county secondary education committees could be pensioned by school boards in Scotland under the new system?
§ The LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. Ure)Expenditure by the authorities of central institutions, by provincial committees, and by county secondary education committees for the purpose of making a reasonable provision for pensions for officers in their employment other than teachers may be reckoned as part of the approved expenditure of such institutions and 438 bodies for the purposes of Sections 16 and 17 of the Education (Scotland) Act, 1908. The expenses of such institutions, whether for pensions or for other purposes, are not, of course, chargeable to school boards.
