§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will amend the provisions of the teachers superannuation schemes to enable financially dependent husbands, married to women teachers, to benefit.
§ Dr. BoysonThe scheme does not require amendment; it already provides for women teachers to nominate financially dependent husbands for benefit. However, my right hon. Friend proposes to make a further provision allowing him to confirm that the state of such dependency still exists at the time of the teacher's death.
