§ 49. Mr. Lewisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer which of the cuts in salary, wages or pensions of public servants, which were imposed as a measure of economy in 1931, have not yet been restored?
§ Sir J. SimonI am in some doubt as to the scope of this question. If my hon. Friend has in mind Government employés, I am aware of no case in which the reductions, imposed as a measure of economy in 1931, have not now been restored. If he has in mind the consequential effect on teachers' pensions of reductions in salary prior to retirement, I would refer him to the Teachers' Superannuation Act, 1935, by which the present position is governed.
