§ Sir HENRY CRAIKasked the Secretary for Scotland whether, in the event of a further proportionate Grant for pensions being allocated to Scotland, he is prepared to consider the assignment of some part to the increase of exising pensions which are quite inadequate to meet the increased cost of living?
§ Mr. MUNROI assume that my right hon. Friend's question has reference to pensions for teachers. As he is aware, provision has already been made for supplementing the pensions of retired teachers whose income falls under £52 per annum. There are difficulties in the way of extending this provision, but the whole matter will receive careful consideration in the event of further sums being available for the purpose.
