Pension Forfieture
Decision:
Following a Pension Forfeiture Hearing on 9th June 2026, at which I considered the
forfeiture of a police pension, both in terms of the proportion of the pension to be forfeited
and the period over which the forfeiture is to take place, in respect of former police officer
Khan.
Accordingly, after considering all the representations, I felt that she was required to be
accountable for taxpayers' money and accordingly, agreed:-
1. To progress the request from the Chief Constable for the forfeiture of police
pension in respect of Khan; and
2. That the proportion of the pension to be forfeited, which represents the employer's
notional contributions, be fixed at 25%, for a period of one year.
3. That, at the conclusion of the one-year period the proportion of the pension to be
forfeited be restored.
