(a) suitable for use in the Police Force; and
(b) which are being used by the member in the performance of his duties as a member,
but that the remuneration and allowances applicable to the rank held by that member do not adequately compensate that member for those special skills and qualifications, determine, subject to such terms and conditions as he thinks fit, that that member shall be paid, on and from the date specified in the determination, in addition to that remuneration and those allowances, an allowance, not exceeding the prescribed amount, sufficient, in the opinion of the Commissioner, to adequately compensate that member for those special skills and qualifications, and that member shall, accordingly, be paid the allowance.

(a) whether the special skills and qualifications of the member which gave rise to that determination are still being used by him in the duties carried out by him as a member with the rank held by him after his promotion; and
(b) the difference between the remuneration and allowances applicable to the rank held by him immediately before his promotion and the remuneration and allowances from time to time applicable to the rank held by him after his promotion,
