Patience over nuclear subs "wearing thin" warns Rennie
December 1, 2009 10:00 AM
MP Willie Rennie has warned Ministers that the people of West Fife "just want rid" of the seven decommissioned nuclear submarines at Rosyth Dockyard.
Speaking last week during Scottish Questions, Mr Rennie told the Commons the patience of people in West Fife is "wearing thin" after 25 years and called on the Government to find a solution to where the waste from the dismantled submarines will be stored.
Commenting Mr Rennie said:
"Seven redundant submarines have been rusting in Rosyth Dockyard for up to 25 years and they will be stuck there for many years yet at this rate of progress.
"The MOD has been operating at a snail's pace. West Fife is getting fed up with their lack of progress
"The patience of people in West Fife is wearing thin. We want rid of these submarines, and we want rid of them now. After twenty-five years, West Fife has had enough."
