§ Mr. HancockTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many non-UK nationals are currently employed aboard RFA ships. [13507]
§ Dr. Reid:There is a small number of non-UK nationals employed by the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. These are people who were employed before all RFA posts were designated Reserved posts and who retain reserved employment rights. I will write to the hon.
