Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will review the pay structures and conditions of employment for Royal Fleet Auxiliary personnel to ensure alignment with inflation and comparable roles within the armed forces.
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.
