HC Deb 27 January 1997 vol 289 c75W
Mr. Blunkett

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what plans she has to alter the deadline for teachers seeking premature retirement before the implementation of proposed changes to the teachers' superannuation scheme; and if she will make a statement. [12660]

Mrs. Gillan

Under the Government's proposals, all teachers actually retiring prematurely before 1 April would fall under the current regulations. The Government do not impose a deadline by which teachers must seek premature retirement.
