§ Mr. Priorasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will now make a ruling for local education authorities to follow the inclusion of additional payment in cash in the computation of teachers' superannuation payments.
§ Miss BaconNo. Each payment must be considered according to the circumstances, in the light of regulation 24 of the Teachers' Superannuation Regulations, 1967.
§ Mr. Priorasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will review the Teachers Superannuation Regulations so that teachers at special schools paying additional superannuation 150W are not penalised if they return to ordinary teaching duties.
§ Miss BaconNo. This is not practicable in a scheme in which benefits are based on the average salary for the last three years of pensionable service, except in so far as such teachers might benefit under Regulation 29 of the Teachers' Superannuation Regulations, which assists those who suffer reduction in salary shortly before retiring age.
