HC Deb 22 March 1912 vol 35 c2225
Mr. MUNRO-FERGUSON

asked the President of the Board of Education, whether his attention has been drawn to the superannuation scheme for teachers in Scotland; whether he intends to provide a scheme for England on a like basis; and whether he can state what would be its cost.

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD OF EDUCATION (Mr. J. A. Pease)

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I need hardly remind my honourable Friend that the conditions of service and the bases of existing schemes differ considerably in England and Wales from those in Scotland. I hope shortly to introduce a scheme under which a substantial improvement will be made in the scale of pensions under the Elementary School Teachers (Superannuation) Act, 1898.
