The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent steps he has taken to resolve the industrial dispute in the Royal Fleet Auxiliary.

Answered by Maria Eagle

Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) personnel are highly valued specialists. We are dedicated to hearing their concerns and maintaining an ongoing dialogue to address the issues raised during the current pay dispute. As negotiations are still in progress, it would be inappropriate to comment further on the specifics of our discussions with the Maritime Trade Unions.
