§ Mr. R. MORRISONasked the President of the Board of Education if he will inquire into the case of Miss Edith Williams, who was appointed by the London County Council headmistress of Wanstead House Camp School, Margate, in May, 1920, and held that position for two years and nine months, during which time she was responsible for the educational supervision, examination, and organisation; if he is aware that during her service the school was twice visited by Board of Education inspectors and three times by London County Council inspectors, and upon all these occasions time table and educational work was discussed with Miss Williams as headmistress; and, in view of the fact that other duties which in an ordinary school she would not have been called upon to perform were only undertaken because of her zeal to co-ordinate and organise the school under conditions which were largely experimental, can he see his way to reconsider the case and recognise Miss Williams' service at this school for purposes of pension?
§ Mr. TREVELYANThe Board have on more than one occasion given careful consideration to the case of Miss E. A. Williams; but in view of the fact, as stated to the Board by the London County Council, that she did not devote more than one and a half hours a week to actual teaching, and the remainder of her time to supervisory duties, principally of a domestic character, the Board are unable to regard her as having been in full-time service as a teacher for the purposes of the School Teachers (Superannuation) Act, 1918, during the time when she was employed at the Wanstead House Camp School.
