Mr. Haydn Davies

asked the Minister of Education the number of men and women, respectively, who retired from the teaching service in 1946 and who were awarded superannuation allowances.

Mr. Tomlinson

The figures for the calendar year 1946 cannot be made available without an undue expenditure of time and labour. For the year ending 31st March, 1947, some 1,600 men and 3,275 women retired from the teaching profession and were awarded superannuation allowances.
