§ Mr. BOLANDasked the Lord Advocate whether, with a view to meeting the claims of male assistant teachers in Scottish voluntary schools, steps wilt be taken to make the State's contribution to the pension fund uniform or to grade it according to service and status of such teachers; to make the minimum retiring or disablement allowance £2 per annum for each recorded year of service; to arrange that school boards pay the teachers' contribution to the pension fund for all teachers within their areas, where any contribution is made; and that such 872 contributions as have been paid to the 1898 pension scheme be returned to the contributors without delay?
§ The LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. Ure)The answer with regard to all the suggestions contained in the hon. Member's question is in the negative.
§ Mr. BOLANDCan the Lord Advocate say whether he has given any attention to the statement yesterday put forward on behalf of the assistants?
