The SNP is to call for the Fastlane Nuclear Submarine Base to be removed from Scotland. The Scottish Parliament has no powers as defence is a reserved matter at Westminister. However the SNP will use a resolution at Holyrood to stir tensions between Scotland and Westminister. This comes as Alex Salmond is set to give a major speech tomorrow on Scottish Independence. Nearly 60% of MSP's oppose Trident Nuclear Weapons. Brian Larkin of Trident ploughshares says that the UK Government transport nuclear warheads over Scottish roads and the Scottish Government could refuse to allow them to do so.
