§ 105. Mr. TAYLORasked the Secretary for Scotland when the forms for reclaiming the premiums paid by the teachers under the old superannuation scheme were to be issued to the teacher by the Scottish Education Department; and how soon might the teachers expect to have the sums they have paid refunded?
§ Colonel GIBBSMore than half of the forms have been issued, and it is hoped to complete this part of the work by the end of December. Repayment has been made in some thousands of cases, and is being carried out as rapidly as possible.
§ Mr. TAYLORIs it the fact that some teachers have not been paid, and that this has caused discontent? Is there any 411 reason why the forms should not be sent to the education authorities instead of to the Department?
§ Colonel GIBBSI will have that question also conveyed to my right hon. Friend.
Lieut.-Colonel A. MURRAYWould it not be better for the Lord Advocate to be here to answer these questions?
