I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education whether he can state how many teachers in Great Britain have received a disablement allowance during the year 1900 under the Elementary School Teachers (Superannuation) Act, 1898; and what has been the total amount paid by the Treasury for this purpose during the same period.

The answer for England and Wales is: 291 teachers, £4,568 12s. 2d.
