From the information available for scrutiny, the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) annual budgets from financial year 2015-16 to date, rounded to the nearest million, are provided below:

Financial Year

Budget (£million)

2015-16

£175

2016-17

£149

2017-18

£191

2018-19

£174

These figures include RFA deployed costs; shoreside costs; wages, and through life and flotilla support.

Due to a change in finance systems, costs prior to financial year 2015-16 have been archived and could be provided only at disproportionate costs.
