Gordon Brown dodging questions on dumping waste
Liberal Democrat Defence Spokesperson and MP for Dunfermline and West Fife, Willie Rennie, today questioned Gordon Brown over potential MoD plans to dump nuclear submarine waste at Rosyth, again!
When he was in opposition, Gordon Brown described such plans as threatening to turn Rosyth into a ‘nuclear graveyard’.
Responding to the Prime Minister’s answer, Willie Rennie said:
Unfortunately the Prime Minister dodged the question as he has been doing for the last 15 years.
The campaign against these submarines must be stepped up now.
Rosyth lost the Trident refuelling contract. There’s no way we’re going to be left with the nuclear waste.

And where do you suggest they go? You’re taking a very extreme NIMBY line here.

Surely containment is the primary issue here? I’m in favour of deep core repositories instead of dumping at sea - but I’m not a nuclear physicist and I really think the gov’t should be getting proper consultation. But this time, probably best not to sack every one if they don’t like the answers
