TEACHERS' SUPERANNUATION

Early day motion 842, tabled 26 February 1998 by Harry Barnes (Labour). Signed by 31 members.

That this House calls for a change in the regulations affecting the operation of teachers' superannuation schemes so that a dependant's pension can pass to the spouse of a retired female teacher upon her death on the same basis as occurs for the widow of a male teacher; notes that this anomaly has been rectified only in connection with female teachers who retired in 1988 or afterwards; and calls for equality of treatment between male and female teachers, especially as their superannuation contributions have been made on a common basis.
