(2) how many of the persons employed, other than teaching staff, in the voluntary teachers' training colleges qualify for pensions which are grant-aided; and what is the total yearly grant in respect thereof;

(3) how many of the persons employed, other than teaching staff, in the voluntary teachers' training colleges do not qualify for pensions; and what would be the total yearly grant if such staff were treated as pensionable on the same terms as the staff employed in local authority training colleges.
