(a) one-third of the amount of the Governor's pension under this Scheme, or where part of the pension is commuted under Section 6, one-third of the

remainder of such amount;

(b) the amount which would make the Governor's pension after deduction of

the amount allocated, equal to the annual pension that would be payable

under this Section to the beneficiary on the Governor's death.

In applying the first of these limits, the amount of pension allocated will be taken

to include any such amount already allocated under paragraph 7.1(a) or under The Governor's Pensions (Allocation) Rules, 1959.
