Mannering, of Boxley, near Maidstone, has been retired; at what age did such retirement take place; and after what number of years of service as a certificated teacher in public elementary schools?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

Mr. Mannering was awarded a superannuation allowance of £35 2s. and an annuity of £2 5s. 8d. He retired at the age of 67, and had served for 39 years as a certificated teacher.

Mr. HART-DAVIES

asked what is the total amount of superannuation allowance and annuity on which Mr. Henry Hill, of 32, East Bank, late headmaster Scawfell-street Council School, Hackney-road, N.E., has retired; what was his age on retirement; how many years had he served as a certificated head teacher in public elementary schools; and what proportion of his annuity has been certified by the annuitant, Mr. H. Hill, himself?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

Mr. Henry Hill was awarded a superannuation allowance of £39 15s. 6d. and an annuity of £3 8s. 4d. He retired at the age of 65. He had served as a certificated head teacher for 42 years 5 months. Mr. Hill's statement in support of his claim for an annuity agreed with the entries in the Deferred Annuity Fund Registers as to his contributions, and his annuity was calculated accordingly.

Mr. JOHN JOHNSON

asked what is the total amount of the superannuation allowance and annuity on which Mr. Potts, of Low Fell, Gateshead, has been retired; and at what age such retirement took place, and after what number of years of service as a certificated head teacher in public elementary schools?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

Mr. Potts was awarded a superannuation allowance of £32 8s., and an annuity of £1 11s. 4d. This award was made when Mr. Potts reached the age (65) at which, under the Elementary School Teachers (Superannuation) Act, 1898, superannuation allowances and annuities become payable. For three years previously Mr. Potts has been out of "recorded service." He had served for 36 years as a certificated head teacher.
