Ask your MSP to support a motion in the Scottish Parliament which expresses concern about HMS Astute running aground in Skye.
Short Title: Nuclear Submarine Runs Aground off Skye
S3M-07241 Bill Kidd (Glasgow) (SNP):
That the Parliament notes with serious concern reports that Royal Navy HMS Astute submarine ran aground close to the Skye Bridge; further notes that this comes as the latest in a catalogue of like incidents involving nuclear submarines off of the west coast of Scotland in previous years; believes that, while no nuclear reactor leak or any other environmental concerns have as yet been reported, the potentiality of such a calamity remains of grave concern; considers that inquiries into previous incidents of a similar nature have highlighted the insufficient application of the safety regime for nuclear submarines, and calls on the Ministry of Defence to instigate an immediate inquiry into this incident.
