§ 53. Lord Eustace Percyasked the President of the Board of Education whether he intends to introduce legislation in the present Session to amend the Teachers' 28 Superannuation Act in respect of service abroad; and whether periods of foreign service recognised as contributory service under such legislation will be recognised also for purposes of salary increments under the Burnham agreements?
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education (Mr. Shakespeare)My right hon. Friend hopes shortly to introduce a Bill to amend the Teachers' Superannuation Acts in order to provide for periods of service abroad up to five years, or such longer periods as the board may in special circumstances direct, being treated as pensionable service. The recognition of such periods for purposes of salary increments is of course a matter for the Burnham Committees, which no doubt will consider it.
