HC Deb 14 July 1885 vol 299 c653
COLONEL NOLAN (for Colonel COLT-HUKST)

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, If there is any objection to officers of the Royal Marines volunteering for the Commissariat Staff as probationers?

THE SECRETARY (Mr. RITCHIE)

Officers of Royal Marines are not eligible under existing Regulations for transfer as probationers to the Commissariat Staff; but a communication on the subject will be made to the War Office, and when a reply is received, the matter will receive the consideration of the Lords of the Admiralty.
