A recent statement by George Robertson has shown that opposition to Trident in Scotland is the key to making Britain free from nuclear weapons.
Trident is now Britain s only nuclear weapon system.
In an interview with Ian Bruce of the Herald in December, Mr Robertson said for the first time that Trident could not be moved to England. Faslane would be a very, very big headache. There's a huge investment there for Britain's national deterrent. The rest of the UK would be unlikely to say let's just move Faslane to the Tyne or the Wear or the Mersey, or indeed the Thames and pay all the costs associated with that. The facilities at Faslane and Coulport cost 2 billion and took 10 years to build.
