§ 60. Sir ARTHUR SHIRLEY BENNasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he recognises the financial difficulties of retired teachers who are dependent on pensions granted to them under the Elementary School Teachers (Superannuation) Act, owing to such pensions being insufficient to cover the increased cost of living on account of war conditions; whether he realises that their pay, when servants of the State, was so small as to have made it impossible for them to save money to any reasonable extent; and whether he can see his way to grant sufficient money to the Board of Education to enable them to give temporary increases in pensions to cover the increased cost of living until normal times return?
§ Mr. BALDWINI have nothing to add to my previous answer to similar questions on the subject of the pensions of retired Civil servants.
