    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that there was a proposal in the year 2010 by the Ministry of State for Public Service to review the new hardship areas and allowances for all civil servants and teachers, and the report is yet to be officially released. The proposal classifies Suba District which comprises of Central and Gwassi divisions as moderate hardship areas. Currently, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) pays teachers hardship allowances as per the areas listed in the Gazette Notice No.534 of 11th November, 1997, and which does not include Suba District. (b)Teachers in Suba District will be paid hardship allowance when the review of the policy on areas designated as hardship areas and rates of the allowance payable is concluded and approved for implementation by the Ministry of State for Public Service. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a letter here from the Ministry of State for Public Service which alludes to the fact that they are in the process of reviewing those areas. I hereby lay the letter on the Table."
