§ Mr. GERALD HURSTasked the President of the Board of Education whether the scheme of the Teachers (Superannuation) Rill includes the class of teachers known as supplementary teachers; if so, whether there is any differentiation between those whoso services date from 1914 and those who have been employed since before 1914; in case this class are excluded from the scheme, how many supplementary teachers, approximately, are so excluded; and under how many education authorities are they at present employed?
§ Lord E. PERCYThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative and the second part, therefore, does not arise. The number of supplementary teachers (women) in public elementary schools (maintained by local education 247W authorities) in England and Wales on the 31st March, 1925, was 9,963. They were employed in the areas of 284 authorities.
