HC Deb 26 April 1944 vol 399 c762
35. Commander Locker-Lampson

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if a retired naval officer, who is recalled for service in war and retains his health, is entitled to expect to be retained on full pay for the duration of the emergency except for misconduct of a grave nature or other serious offence under the Naval Discipline Act.

Mr. Alexander

No, Sir, not necessarily. The continued employment of any such officer must depend upon his suitability for the appointments, if any, which are available.
