HC Deb 13 November 1919 vol 121 c525W
Mr. A. DAVIES (Clitheroe)

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he will favourably consider the question of returning the whole of the superannuation premiums of teachers who died whilst serving in the Forces, together with 5 per cent, cumulative interest, to the next-of-kin of these men who died under circumstances entirely outside their professional duties?

Mr. FISHER

In reply to the hon. Member's question I regret that there is no power to do what he desires in view of the provisions of the Elementary School Teachers (Superannuation) Act, 1898.
