§ 40. Mr. Goodhartasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will now alter the regulations by which the earnings of re-employed retired teachers are assessed each quarter for pension purposes.
§ Mr. PrenticeThe quarterly basis of assessment is not in itself a serious obstacle to regular part-time employment. Most public service pension schemes are based upon the actual period of reemployment, and the quarterly basis for part-time teachers already represents a concession.
