Royal Fleet Auxiliary
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will take steps he will take to tackle reductions in hull numbers within the Royal Fleet Auxiliary since 2003.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) is an organisation of highly valued, specialist personnel. The Royal Navy, which includes the RFA, continues to ensure it has sufficient assets available to deliver its operational outputs.
The Fleet Solid Support Programme will deliver three new solid support ships, entering service with the RFA in the early 2030s.
