Section 22:

22. (1) Where a responsible officer is of the opinion that a pensionable member of a Disciplined Force should be called upon to retire from that Force on the grounds that he has attained the age at which he can, under any enactment, lawfully be required to retire from that Force, he shall— (a) inform that member that he intends to recommend that he be compulsorily retired from that Force; (b) ask that member whether he wishes to make, within a period of time appointed by the responsible officer, any representations why he should not be so retired; and (c) after the expiration of the period, forward his recommendation to the Secretary together with a copy of any representations made by that member and his comments on them and the Commission shall decide whether that member should be called upon to retire. (2) On being advised of the decision of the Commission, the responsible officer shall notify the member of the Disciplined Force concerned and, where that member is to be retired, the responsible officer shall make such further arrangements as may be necessary to complete the procedure for the retirement of that member. (3) A member of a Disciplined Force whose compulsory retirement is under consideration under this regulation may, where possible, be given the option to retire voluntarily provided that the reasons for requiring his retirement do not involve disciplinary action.
