I am, of course, in favour of all parties working together. The Scottish Government’s position on nuclear weapons is clear and long-standing: we are firmly opposed to the possession, threat and use of nuclear weapons. They are strategically and economically wrong; they are indiscriminate and devastating in their impacts; and their use would bring unspeakable humanitarian suffering and widespread environmental damage.
The Scottish Government has consistently expressed a commitment to removing nuclear weapons from Scotland in the safest and most expeditious manner possible, following a vote for independence. That position was last set out in the recent paper in the “Building a New Scotland” series, “An independent Scotland’s place in the world”.
