Royal Fleet Auxiliary

EDM number 788 in 2009-10, proposed by Gwyn Prosser on 03/02/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Armed forces.

That this House applauds the work of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) and the dedication and bravery of its personnel, who provide such invaluable support to the Royal Navy often in war zones around the globe; is extremely concerned that the future of the RFA is under threat due to the proposal to scrutinise its role through the Treasury Operational Efficiency Programme; is dismayed that a further review could be contemplated so soon after a similar exercise in 2006 which resulted in a stable evolved crewing strategy until 2020; believes that the RFA has consistently demonstrated the value in retaining a civilian crewed fleet to provide strategic support to the Royal Navy; and urges the Government to retain the RFA in its traditional role on the grounds of security, efficiency and integration, and support for the armed forces.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs.
