§ Mr. LEACHasked the President of the Board of Education what is the reason for the delay in making an award, under the Teachers' Superannuation Act, in the case of Margaret Black (Pension No. 27191/23), who applied on the 6th September, 1922, reminded the Board on the 16th March last, and is still without settlement?

Mr. WOODI much regret the delay in the settlement of Miss Black's claim. Unfortunately her case involved the consideration of several questions of principle, and pending the settlement of them it was impossible to proceed with her case. I am giving directions that the matter shall be now treated expeditiously, and I hope it will be possible to issue an award in the course of a few days.
§ Mr. LEACHasked the President of the Board of Education if he will expedite the claim under the Teachers' Superannuation Act of James Newton, pension no. 01/1,241, who resigned 31st March last and can get no report from the Board on his case?
Mr. WOODMr. Newton's claim is on the point of settlement, and a communication will be sent to him in the course of a few days.
