§ Mr. SharplesAn officer of the former rank of Deputy Commander in the Metropolitan Police Force whose salary in October, 1964, was at the then maximum of £3,390 a year and who retired in June, 1970, without further promotion, would have qualified for a full pension of £2,551 a year if he had completed at least 30 years' pensionable service. He could have commuted a quarter of the pension for a lump sum.
