We report the results of a low-latency beam phase feed-forward system built to stabilise the arrival time of a relativistic electron beam. The system was operated at the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) Test Facility (CTF3) at CERN where the beam arrival time was stabilised to approximately 50~fs. The system latency was \(350\)~ns and the correction bandwidth \(>23\)~MHz. The system meets the requirements for CLIC.
