§ Sir T. BRAMSDONasked the President of the Board of Education whether, seeing that provision is made under the Education (Scotland) (Superannuation) Act, 1919, for including within the benefits of that Act organising and supervising teachers under education authorities, he can see his way to recommend that the same principle may be applied in England and Wales by an early amendment of the School Teachers' Superannuation Act, 1918?
§ Mr. FISHERThe question whether the service of an organising or supervising teacher can be treated as "recognised service" under the School Teachers' (Superannuation) Act, 1918, depends upon the nature and scope of his duties, not upon his title. If his duties consist in teaching, his service is "recognised service": if they consist in organisation, supervision and inspection, it cannot be treated as "recognised service"; and I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on the 17th instant to the hon. Member for York (Sir J. Butcher).
