HC Deb 30 May 1918 vol 106 c1000W
Major Sir C. HUNTER

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he will consider the advisability of increasing the pensions of certificated teachers who, after teaching for forty-five years, have retired on a pension of under £40 per annum?

Mr. HERBERT FISHER

Pensions granted under the Elementary School Teachers (Superannuation) Acts could not be increased without legislation. I would refer the gallant Baronet to the answer given by me to the hon. Member for West Newington on 10th July last, of which I am sending him a copy.
