HC Deb 30 November 1882 vol 275 c389
MR. P. A. TAYLOR

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether officers of the civilian branch of the Navy ranking with Lieutenants, although not entitled to half pay, are, for this reason, liable to removal from Her Majesty's Service when, in the case of a Lieutenant, such removal would be inapplicable?

MR. CAMPBELL- BANNERMAN

There is no difference in regard to the powers of the Admiralty over them between a Lieutenant entitled to half-pay and an officer of the civilian branch of the Navy ranking with a Lieutenant, but not entitled to half-pay. Both are equally liable to have their names removed from the list of the Navy by order of the Board of Admiralty, and independently of court martial.
