LIBERAL Democrats today insisted that Rosyth must not be turned into a "nuclear graveyard".
Fife is one of the four regions being considered by theMoD for submarine dismantling.

The Lib Dems said such a move would increase the resentment created when Rosyth lost the Trident nuclear submarine refit contract to Plymouth in 1993.

Dunfermline & West Fife MP Willie Rennie said: "Nuclear submarines have been lying dormant in Rosyth for too long. They should be dismantled at a single site and Plymouth Devonport is the logical location.

"It is time for the UK Government to decide where this site is to be."

Labour would have done this in 1983 if they had been elected.
It is writ large that Westminster simply screws Scotland for what it can get.

why not flog them to Iran or North Korea - sure they'd love to get their hands them and everything else seems to be for sale - might even pay for the trams

The government moved the maintenance work from Rosyth, let them take the rubbish as well.
