§ 79. Mr. D. Marshallasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he will consider the eligibility of R.N.R. and R.N.V.R. officers to civil and other appointments such as area officers of Sea Cadet Corps for which R.N. officers only are eligible at the moment.
Mr. DugdaleArea officers of the Sea Cadet Corps hold normal naval appointments and are on full pay and allowances. The area officers are at present serving R.N.V.R. officers but only R.N. officers will be appointed as reliefs since they are full-time appointments and it is consequently essential to have officers serving in them who can continue to serve after the end of the Emergency when all R.N.R. and R.N.V.R. officers will have been demobilised.
