Sub graveyard row at Rosyth

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."
