EQUALITY OF TREATMENT AND TEACHERS' SUPERANNUATION

EDM number 5 in 1993-94, proposed by Harry Barnes on 18/11/1993.

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 only been rectified 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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 131 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
