§ 69. Mr. DAYasked the Secretary of State for Scotland the minimum age at which an officer in the police force in Scotland is entitled to retire on ordinary pension without medical certificate; and the age at which the full pension is paid for approved service on retiral?
Mr. WEDDERBURNThe minimum retiral age is 45. The full rate of ordinary pension is not earned until a minimum of 30 years' approved service after attaining the age of 20 has been rendered. The minimum retiral age at which the full rate of ordinary pension is payable is therefore 50.
