§ 58. Major Anstruther-Grayasked the Secretary for Scotland how many retired teachers in Scotland have applied to have their pension paid monthly rather than quarterly; and whether he will consider this matter, with a view to meeting the wishes of those concerned.
§ Mr. J. StuartIn the last two years 10 applications have been received from retired teachers in Scotland for the monthly payment of their pensions. In view of the additional cost of this change I should not feel justified in proposing it in the present financial circumstances of the country.
