(2) In the case of a qualified policeman to whom this Regulation applies—

(a) whose deferred pension has come into payment, and

(b) who has commuted for a lump sum, as provided in Regulation 24 of the principal Regulations, a portion of that pension,

notwithstanding anything in the said Regulation 24, the notice of commutation given thereunder shall be treated for the purposes of paragraph (6) thereof as if it related to the ordinary pension mentioned in paragraph (1)(b).

(3) In the case of a qualified policeman to whom this Regulation applies whose deferred pension has not come into payment, a notice of commutation relating to the deferred pension shall not take effect but the provisions of paragraph (2) of Regulation 14 shall have effect as if the reference therein to that Regulation were a reference to this Regulation; and, if he retired before 1st April 1975, Regulation 24 of the principal Regulations, as applied by Regulation 14, shall have effect as if for paragraph (2) there were substituted “The following provisions of this Regulation shall have effect as if the policeman had retired on 1st April 1975 and paragraph (3A) were omitted”.
