§ Captain Kerbyasked the Minister of Education whether, in view of the hardship now being borne by teacher pensioners owing to the further decline in the real value of their pensions, he will now consider raising all teachers' pensions to a level similar to that of those retiring this year.
§ Mr. H. BrookeI have been asked to reply.
I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the hon. and gallant Member for the New Forest (Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre) on 24th January.
