HC Deb 06 November 1911 vol 30 c1256
Mr. C. BATHURST

asked whether, in view of the grievance entertained by teachers in elementary schools owing to the inadequacy of their superannuation allowance provided for in 1898 and of their exemption from benefits under Schedule 1, Part 2 (c), of the National Insurance Bill, he will now state when and to what extent he proposes to improve such teachers' superannuation scheme in lieu of the benefits given to other classes of employed persons under the Bill.

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I am unable to make a statement on this subject at present, but my right hon. Friend has undertaken to give the matter his careful consideration as soon as the Insurance Bill has become law.

Mr. C. BATHURST

Will some assurance be given to teachers before the National Insurance Bill is disposed of.

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I cannot go beyond the answer I have given.
