To ask the Scottish Government, regarding any potential environmental impact, what its position is on the decommissioning and storage of nuclear submarines at dockyards in Scotland, including Rosyth.
The only site in Scotland that is used for decommissioning and storing nuclear submarines is the Royal Rosyth Dockyard in Fife. The Scottish Government’s position is that this activity must be undertaken under the strict oversight of the relevant independent regulators, including SEPA, to ensure that Scotland’s people and our environment are protected.
