§ Mr. BOLANDasked the Lord Advocate whether, in connection with the proposed superannuation scheme, he would consider the advisability of inserting clauses to ensure that no teacher will suffer by the introduction of the new scheme, a minimum pension of £52 per annum and a minimum breakdown allowance, and of extending the definition of service so as to include, for all existing teachers, active service in England, and of fixing the optional retiring age for female teachers at fifty-five years instead of sixty years?
§ Mr. UREThe Department are prepared to consider the advisability of inserting a Clause in the new superannuation scheme or otherwise taking steps to ensure that no teacher who has contributed to the superannuation fund under the Elementary School Teachers Superannuation Act, 1898, will suffer by the introduction of the new scheme. As regards the other parts of the hon. Member's question, the answer is in the negative.
§ Mr. BOLANDCan the right hon. Gentleman say when those proposals will be formally laid before Parliament?
