Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has plans to replace the repair ship RFA Diligence.
The Royal Navy has no current plans to procure a replacement for the former RFA DILIGENCE.
The capability previously delivered by DILIGENCE can be provided through a range of sources, including the deployment of a Royal Navy Forward Support Unit, or utilising well-established commercial arrangements and international agreements, such as the use of other countries' bases and facilities.
