Answer
Your request for information has now been considered. In respect of Section 1(1)(a) of the Act we can confirm that the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) does not hold information in relation to your requests. Enquiries made in relation to your request failed to locate any records or documents relevant to your request based on the information you have provided.
PSNI do not manage the pension scheme and therefore do not hold the requested information. The Northern Ireland Policing Board (NPIB) manage the pension scheme, therefore, the above requests should be referred to NIPB.
