Royal Fleet Auxiliary: Pay and Working Conditions

Asked by Mr Mark FrancoisConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 12 December 2024UIN 18509

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions his Department has had with representatives of Royal Fleet Auxiliary personnel on their concerns over pay and working conditions; and what his planned timeline is for resolving these issues.

Answered by Al Carns

The Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) are highly valued, specialist personnel.

We are committed to listening to their concerns and maintaining a continued dialogue to address issues they have raised during the current pay dispute.

As these negotiations are ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further on the detail of our discussions with the Maritime Trade Unions.
