§ Major O'NEILLasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether teachers who have retired at any time between the appointment of the Killanin Committee and the passing of the forthcoming Education Bill will receive the same pension benefits as if they had remained in the service till the Bill was passed; and is it proposed to allow teachers who reach the maximum age for retiring before the passage of the Bill to remain in the service until it is passed?
Mr. HENRYAs regards the first part of the question, the hon. Member must await the introduction of the Bill. The reply to the second part is in the negative.
