Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether she plans to increase Royal Fleet Auxiliary pay at the same rate as that of the Royal Navy; and if she will make a statement.
The Royal Fleet Auxiliary are Civil Servants and are not members of the Armed Forces. Their terms and conditions, including their pay, are subject to civilian rules in the wider public sector. As such, pay is subject to HM Treasury Civil Servant Pay Guidance.
