Labour faces two ways on nuclear power
Saturday, 17 December 2005
radiation logoAt Thursday's Council meeting the SNP put forward a motion to confirm Glasgow's opposition to new nuclear power stations.   Glasgow is signed up as a member of Nuclear Free Local Authorities (Scotland) and in fact this group is chaired by Glasgow's Cllr David Stevenson.   However, Labour refused to back the SNP motion and instead moved an amendment which stated "this issue requires careful deliberations" and referred it to a "sub-committee for detailed consideration."   The Labour position was supported by the LibDems.

John Mason said, "What is the point of Glasgow's being signed up as a "nuclear free local authority" if they refuse to oppose nuclear power?   If Scotland invests seriously now in renewable energy, we will not need new nuclear power stations when Hunterston closes in 2011 and Torness in 2023.   This Labour position is hugely embarrassing for Cllr Stevenson who is due to host an anti-nuclear meeting in January."
