HC Deb 09 January 1913 vol 46 c1373
82. Captain O'NEILL

asked how much the administration of the English, Scottish, and Irish teachers' superannuation funds, respectively, cost during the past year?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Masterman)

The cost of the Irish Teachers' Pension Office in 1912–13 was estimated at £1,249. In addition there is expenditure from other votes which cannot be ear-marked specifically to work in connection with teachers' pensions. In England and Scotland the work is performed by various Departments as part of their ordinary duties, and it is not, I fear, possible to ear-mark any definite amount for this particular service. In all three cases the cost is borne by Votes of Parliament and not by the superannuation funds.
