Increases in pensions to retired primary schoolteachers cannot be considered apart from increases in public service pensions generally. No provision for pension increases was included in this year's Budget and it is not, therefore, possible to grant any increase in teachers' pensions.
Would it be considered in the event of a Supplementary Budget?
No.
