§ 55. Mr. HANNONasked the President of the Board of Education whether, in the consideration of individual claims for superannuation of teachers who, being physically unfit for active service, have rendered such services in connection with the late War as might be considered essential to the national safety, it is proposed to exclude all services other than actual naval or military service?
The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Herbert Fisher)The Board, in pursuance of Section 15 of the School Teachers (Superannuation) Act, 1918, and the relative Rule (19 (1)) treat as service for the purposes of the Act such service in connection with naval or military operations in the late War as they consider may properly be treated in the same manner as actual naval or military service. Each case has to be considered on its merits.
