§ Sir HENRY CRAIKasked the Lord Advocate when the Scotch Education Department will be able to issue the teachers' superannuation scheme under Section 14 of the Education Act of 1908?
§ Mr. UREThe very laborious work of obtaining the complete information as to the records of past and present teachers in Scottish schools which the actuaries deem necessary for the preparation of a scheme is now almost completed, but it is not at present possible to make any statement as to when the scheme will be ready for issue.
§ Sir HENRY CRAIKHas the right hon. Gentleman considered that the various stages through which the scheme has to pass before it comes into effect will not permit it to come into operation on 1st January, when the Department said it would, and has he considered the hardship caused to teachers by this delay?
