HC Deb 03 July 1932 vol 156 cc48-9W
Sir S. JOHNSON

asked the President of the Board of Education whether it is proposed that the intended committee to consider, amongst other things, the question of teachers' salaries, shall have power to consider and report on matters relating to the augmentation of the pensions of retired teachers?

Sir R. HORNE

I am not aware of any proposal for the appointment of a committee to consider the question of teachers' salaries at the present time. The terms of reference of the proposed committee on the system of superannuation established by the School Teachers (Superannuation) Act, 1918, were announced by my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Education in the House of Commons on the 10th May last. That inquiry has no relation to the pensions of retired teachers.
