Furthermore, a private sector worker providing for his own pension, as most now do, would have to have an annuity of about 200,000 to produce a figure of 9,000 per annum. Perhaps Mr Wright could tell us how many teachers have contributed 200,000 to their pension funds.
Teachers' pension arrangements were gold-plated before recent changes, and remain so.
