Astute accident and MSPs
Monday, 25 October 2010 14:51

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.
