CND man reassures Holyrood backbenchers over SNP plans to remove atomic weapons from Scottish soil
Scottish independence could break a “logjam” in the global effort to wipe out nuclear weapons, MSPs have heard — if politicians keep their pledges.
The Scottish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament’s John Ainslie sought to reassure backbenchers on Holyrood’s Europe and external relations committee over the SNP government’s plans to remove nukes from Scottish soil.
The party has vowed to carry out the policy if independence is secured in September’s referendum, but has said it would also seek membership of US-led military alliance Nato.
