HC Deb 14 August 1913 vol 56 cc2652-3
65. Mr. FFRENCH

asked the President of the Board of Education if he is aware that the old teachers who were pensioned between 1898 and 1912, and previously have not shared in the increase to the teachers' pension that was granted by Parliament in 1912; and that there are old teachers whose salaries were on an average about £300 a year and who are now getting only about one-seventh of that sum as a pension; and whether, seeing that the cost would be trivial, will he consider the desirability of including them in the scheme of 1912 or provide for them in some other way?

Mr. PEASE

I have nothing to add to my answer to the hon. Member for Woolwich on 15th April last, a copy of which I am sending to the hon. Member.
