Trident security concerns raised by whistleblower
Residents and visitors on Arran are used to seeing the chilling shapes of submarines passing the island, but now the defence secretary, Michael Fallon, has been urged to investigate a catalogue of alleged security failings around the Trident nuclear programme exposed by a Royal Navy whistleblower.
Brendan O’Hara, the Scottish National party MP for Argyll and Bute, which includes the Faslane submarine base, said that the security lapses described by Able Seaman William McNeilly appeared to be “extremely worrying” and merited further investigation.
