HC Deb 21 October 1912 vol 42 c1707
60. Mr. GOLDSMITH

asked whether the question of establishing an adequate superannuation scheme for teachers in secondary schools has been included in the reference to the Departmental Committee which he has appointed?

Mr. J. A. PEASE

I am sending the hon. Member a copy of the Terms of Reference. [See Written Answers this date.]

Mr. GOLDSMITH

Does the right hon. Gentleman propose to take any steps to establish a pension scheme for secondary school teachers?

Mr. PEASE

I have referred to the same Departmental Committee to which I referred the question of elementary schools an inquiry, but I cannot answer the question in the affirmative, because it does not include all secondary teachers It includes certain schools other than elementary to which the Board of Education gives Grants.

Lord ROBERT CECIL

Will the right hon. Gentleman have the reference printed in the Answers to Written Questions so that hon. Members can see it?

Mr. PEASE

I will have it circulated with the Votes.
