§ 21. Mr. Crawford Greeneasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether he is aware that there is a widespread feeling among teachers serving under the Board that there is discrimination in the treatment of men's and women's war service for pension purposes, in that the male teacher's war service is taken into account in computing the amount of pension due to him whereas the war service of a female teacher is not taken into account in that regard; and whether he will consider taking steps to remedy such discrimination or make a statement to satisfy the service that there has been no unfair discrimination?
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education (Mr. Kenneth Lindsay)The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative, and the second part does not, therefore, appear to arise.
