Paragraph 24, sentence 5 is misleading since when a compensation scheme was introduced in some cases officers were entitled to leave the Service with earned pension prior to normal retiring age.
Paragraph 27: Compare the last sentence with the last sentence of paragraph 23.
Annex B: "Scheme based on ten payment of 10 per cent compensation". If you analyse it, you cannot say that the scheme only involves compensation or that the further nine annual payments of 10 per cent are compensation. If they are compensation you are distinguishing between officers who leave and officers who stay and saying that the compensation of the former is only one-tenth of the compensation of the latter. It is quite clear, whatever noun you use, that the nine-tenths is only payable as an inducement to stay on and is forfeit if you don't stay on. It does not compensate for anything. The final scheme is much more honest in its description of the payments.
