S.L. 411.4 Art. 8Abolition of office.

If an officer retires or is removed from the Force in consequence of the abolition of his office, or for the purpose of facilitating improvements in the Force, by which greater efficiency and economy can be effected, he may be granted a pension: Provided, however, that if he has been in Force for less than the qualifying period of ten years, he may be granted a pension calculated in accordance with regulation 3 as if there had been no qualifying period: Provided also that the grant of such pension shall be subject to the condition that he shall be liable to be recalled to service in the Force: Provided further that if such an officer is not qualified for other employment in the Force or if there is no reason, in the opinion of the Prime Minister, to expect that he can be shortly re-employed, a pension may be granted to him free from the above-mentioned condition.
