(14)U.K.For the purpose of estimating any pension, [F1gratuity, or allowance] under this schedule—
(a)a pension [F2or gratuity] to a constable shall be calculated according to the amount of his annual pay at the date of his retirement, or of the injury or cause occasioning the incapacity which compels his retirement, whichever is the larger;
(b)a pension [F3or gratuity] to the widow [F3and an allowance or gratuity to a child] of a constable shall be calculated according to the amount of the constable’s annual pay at the date of his death or of the injury or cause occasioning his death, or where he had a pension of his retirement;
(c)but where a constable who becomes a member of the force after the passing of this Act has, in the course of the three years next before the date of his retirement, or death, or such injury, or cause, been in receipt of a different annual pay from that which he is receiving at that date, his annual pay at the date of the retirement, death, injury, or cause shall be deemed to be the average annual amount of pay received by him for the said three years, instead of the annual amount actually received by him at that date.
[F4(d)Section twelve of the M1Superannuation Act 1834, shall continue to apply to the pensions and gratuities to be granted to constables who became members of the Royal Irish Constabulary before the passing of this Act. Nothing contained in this Act shall be taken to extend that section to any pension or gratuity to which it would not apply if this Act had not been passed.]
The annual pay with reference to which pensions [F5and allowances] under this Act shall be calculated is the pay set out in the First and Third Schedules to this Act. In converting weekly pay into annual pay the year shall be taken to be fifty-two weeks.
