HC Deb 21 May 1912 vol 38 cc1739-40
Mr. BIRD

asked the President of the Board of Education, whether assistant teachers who have been recognised as un-certificated teachers under Articles 50 and 51 of previous Elementary School Codes will now be allowed to join the teachers' superannuation fund?

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

I hope shortly to introduce a Bill to amend the Elementary School Teachers (Superannuation) Act, 1898, but any statement of its contents beyond what was foreshadowed in the answer of my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer last week to a deputation from the National Union of Teachers must, I think, be postponed until the introduction of the Bill.
