§ Mr. St. John-Stevas430, 438 and 455. The figures given in my answer to the hon. Member's Written Question on 4th December last for the two latter years were provisional. These are the definitive ones. It would need disproportionate effort to analyse the figures by type of institution, but overall the number of breakdown pensions awarded represents about 0.125 per cent of the teacher force.
