HC Deb 13 February 1913 vol 48 c1194W
Major HOPE

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether a certificated teacher who commenced service in Scotland after 1st April, 1912, and who served in that capacity in Scotland for twenty-two years, and who subsequently served in England for twenty years up to the age of sixty-five, would be compelled to pay contributions under the provisions of the Elementary School Teachers (Superannuation) Act, 1898, during his service in England; and, if so, would he be entitled to a superannuation allowance in terms of Article I. (2) (d) of that Act in respect of his service in England?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The teacher would be entitled at the age of sixty-five to the annuity earned by his contributions, but as the law now stands lie could not be awarded any superannuation allowance. The matter is, however, receiving consideration.
