HC Deb 03 August 1909 vol 8 cc1825-6W
Sir GEORGE KEKEWICH

asked whether it would be possible to allow to sub-inspectors of the Board of Education some gratuity or allowance in addition to their pensions on retirement, seeing that they have given pensionable service as certificated teachers for some years before appointment to the Civil Service, and that, owing to the conditions of their appointment it is in every case impossible for them to earn a full pension?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

There is no power to count towards any award of gratuity or pension under the Superannuation Acts service such as that of a certificated teacher not paid out of Votes of Parliament.
