§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsFinancial provision is being arranged for teachers aged 50 or over, with at least five years' service, who are made redundant or are retired early in the interest of the efficient exercise of their employer's functions. Regulations have now been made to allow payment of accrued superannuation benefits to those teachers, and further regulations are being prepared to provide for enhancement of those benefits by the compensating authority.
