HC Deb 19 February 1920 vol 125 c1067W
Mr. HARRY HOPE

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether a headmaster, retiring after 44 years' service and holding a first-class certificate, can be refused the retiring allowance as provided for teachers who are graduates and not merely given a reduced allowance?

Mr. MUNRO

Retiring allowances must be paid on the actual salary received by a teacher during the prescribed period prior to retiral, and cannot be calculated on any hypothetical basis such as the question would appear to suggest.
