HC Deb 15 November 1918 vol 110 cc3158-9

(1) If a teacher in receipt of an annual superannuation allowance is again employed as a teacher in recognised service, the allowance shall cease as from the date on which he becomes so employed, without prejudice, however, to the power of the Board under this Act to grant to him subsequently a fresh annual superannuation allowance.

(4) If a teacher in receipt of an annual superannuation allowance is employed in any Government employment or in the employment (otherwise than as a teacher in a Grant-aided school) of a local education authority, then, if the salary and emoluments received by him in respect of the employment are not less than his salary at the date on which he ceased to be in recognised service, the superannuation allowance shall be suspended during the employment, and if they are less than that salary then only so much of the allowance shall be paid to him as with the salary and emoluments of the employment is equal to that salary.

For the purposes of this Section the expression "Government employment" means any employment the remuneration of which is paid cut of the Consolidated Fund or out of moneys provided by Parliament.

Mr. HARVEY

Question put, and agreed to.
