The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will publish a list of Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessels currently awaiting construction.

Answered by Maria Eagle

The Fleet Solid Support (FSS) project is currently in the design phase and on schedule, and its successful delivery remains a priority. Production of the first FSS is expected to begin in 2025, with all three vessels bolstering the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) over the coming decade. Further additions to the RFA will be subject to requirements in line with the Strategic Defence Review.
