HC Deb 16 August 1911 vol 29 c1908
Sir HENRY CRAIK

asked the Lord Advocate whether he can now state when the scheme for the superannuation of teachers in Scotland will, in terms of the Education Act of 1908, be laid upon the Table of the House?

Mr. URE

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the 13th ultimo to a question on this subject addressed to him by the hon. Member for North-East Lanarkshire. I am not at present able to add anything to the information contained in that answer.

Sir H. CRAIK

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the answer to which he refers was merely a dilatory answer, and can he not now give us some information as to what steps are to be taken to carry out the provisions of the Act of Parliament in respect of these teachers?

Mr. URE

If the hon. Gentleman will refer to the answer he will find that it was not merely dilatory; it was a very distinct one.
