    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My question is about the hardship allowances for teachers. However, this is more like a comment. There seems to be a serious disparity across Government departments. One department of Government would appreciate a region as a hardship area and staff working there are considered for support as working in hardship areas. Other departments of Government do not consider the same area to be a hardship area. It is complicated by the support provided by the Equalisation Fund, from which we have identified 33 counties to benefit. You realise that some teachers in some of those marginalised areas identified as deserving of Equalisation Funds are not considered for hardship allowance. Cabinet Secretary, would you propose a multi-agency approach to ensure that staff working in marginalised areas in one region are treated as deserving of allowances from across Government departments? Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir."
