Notes:
(a) Average annual pensionable pay for officer on top rate for the past year. For officers in the Metropolitan Police and City of London Police forces these rates of pensionable pay are increased by London weighting. The current rate of £588 per annum London weighting is under review and a further review is likely next year. Thus comparable rates of pensionable pay cannot yet be given. However, the rates will be higher and therefore the figures at (b)and (c) will be higher.
(b) Gross pension payable—approximate—before surrender of part of pension in return for a commuted lump sum.
(c) Lump sum payable—approximate—if the officer commutes to the maximum extent allowed.
