TEACHERS' EARLY RETIREMENT

EDM number 432 in 1996-97, proposed by Jamie Cann on 22/01/1997.

That this House recognises the problem caused to the Teachers' Pension Agency funding by the increasing number of teachers seeking to retire shortly after reaching the age of 50; also recognises that such early retirements are, in many cases, of value to the teacher concerned, the school and its pupils; and believes also that further bipartison consultation is necessary before any final decision is made on teachers' early retirement.

This motion has been signed by a total of 78 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
