§ The LORD PRIVY SEAL (Viscount CROSS)My Lords, I beg to move the Second Reading of this Bill, which, provides for superannuation and other annuities and allowances to elementary school teachers certificated by the Education Department. This matter has been before the other House of Parliament a long time. In 1891 and 1892 unanimous resolutions were passed in favour of some such scheme as this, and a Special Committee was appointed to go into the whole subject. They made a Report, and this Bill contains their recommendations. I hope your Lordships will consent to give the Bill a Second Reading.
§ Question put.
