Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will take steps to update the National Maritime Security Strategy to 2019 to include the Government's policy on the role of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary.

The National Strategy for Maritime Security was published in May 2014 and remains relevant to today's challenges in the maritime domain. However, as we implement the outcomes of the Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015, we will consider whether the strategy should be reviewed.
