Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many replenishments at sea RFA’s Tide-class tankers have provided for international allies in each year since 2017 to date.

Tide-class tankers routinely support NATO, Joint Expeditionary Force partners, and other allied maritime operations while delivering the UK’s standing commitments worldwide.

The data the hon. Member requires is not held in the format requested. However, we estimate that there have been in excess of 300 replenishment at sea provided to international allies by Tide-class tankers from 2017 to date.
