“and shall be–

(a)in the case of a policeman all of whose service by virtue of which his or her pensionable service is reckonable was full-time, the amount specified as appropriate to his or her degree of disablement in column (2) of the Table in paragraph 2; and

(b)in the case of a policeman any of whose service by virtue of which his or her pensionable service is reckonable was part time, the amount given by the formula–

where–

G is the amount that the gratuity would be if all the service were full-time service;

R is the period in years of his or her pensionable service; and

Q is the period that would be the period in years of his or her pensionable service if periods of part time service were reckonable as if they were periods of full-time service.”.

(3) After paragraph 1 insert–

“1A.  If, in a case where any of the policeman’s service by virtue of which his or her pensionable service is reckonable was part time service, the amount of the gratuity calculated in accordance with paragraph 1 would be less than it would have been if the person had become entitled to receive the gratuity at an earlier date, then the gratuity shall be the last mentioned amount instead.”.

(4) In paragraph 2 for “shall be of the amount” to the end of that paragraph substitute–

“shall be–

(a)in the case of a policeman all of whose service by virtue of which his or her pensionable service is reckonable was full-time, of the amount of his or her minimum income guarantee specified as appropriate to his or her degree of disablement in column (3), (4), (5) or (6) of the following Table; and

(b)in the case of a policeman any of whose service by virtue of which his or her pensionable service is reckonable was part time, of the amount given by the formula–

where

M is the amount that his or her minimum income guarantee would be if all the service were full-time service and R and Q are the same as in paragraph 1;”.

(5) After paragraph 2 insert–

“2A.  If in a case where any of the policeman’s service by virtue of which his or her pensionable service is reckonable was part time service, the amount of the pension calculated in accordance with paragraph 2 would be less than the amount would have been if the person had become entitled to receive the pension at an earlier date, then the last mentioned amount shall be substituted for it.

2B.  In paragraphs 1A, 2 and 2A, references to a person’s pensionable service shall in the case of a regular policeman who has made an election under regulation G4(1) be construed as references to the pensionable service which would have been reckonable by him or her if he or she had not made such an election.”.

(6) In paragraph 3(1) for “by reference” onwards substitute “by reference to this Schedule”.

(7) After paragraph 6 insert–

“7.  In a case where–

(a)a former policeman was in part time service before the date on which the Police Pensions (Part time Service) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2005 come into force; and

(b)the amount of his or her award calculated in accordance with this Part would be less than the amount would have been if those Regulations had not been made,

then the award shall be of the last mentioned amount instead.”.
