§ 74. Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the President of the Board of Education, with reference to inspectors and organisers who are eligible for pension under the Teachers' Superannuation Act, 1925, whether a person who has held the position of a certificated teacher since 1902, an assistant master eight years and headmaster 12 years, or a district education secretary, and who now is assistant administrative officer under a local education authority, will be eligible for pension?
The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of EDUCATION (Duchess of Atholl)On the assumption that he has the necessary qualifying teaching service, the eligibility of such an officer to be treated as in pensionable contributory service under the Act of 1925, depends upon the extent to which his duties involve the control and supervision of teachers. My right hon. Friend is obtaining from local authorities the information necessary to enable him to review the question systematically, and 1538 every such officer will have an opportunity of applying to be treated as a pensionable organiser.
