HC Deb 08 June 1877 vol 234 c1489
CAPTAIN PIM

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether Officers who have commuted their retired pay can be compelled to serve?

MR. A. F. EGERTON

Sir, officers who are in the position referred to in the Question are liable to be called upon to serve. Their names are continued on The Navy List, and they come within the terms of Chap. 7, sec. 3, of the Queen's Regulations as "officers on the Retired List." Should any such officer refuse to serve when called upon, his name would be struck off the List.
