HC Deb 13 May 1918 vol 106 c62W
Colonel HERBERT

asked the President of the Board of Education whether an undertaking was given to certificated teachers who took up their work before 1862 that at sixty-five years of age they should retire on two-thirds of their standing salaries; and, if so, whether this undertaking has been carried out?

Mr. HERBERT FISHER

The answer is in the negative. I may refer the hon. and gallant Member to the Report from the Select Committee on Elementary Schools (Certificated Teachers), House of Commons Paper, No. 344, of 1872.
