Concerns have been raised about safety at the naval base.
An Argyll and Bute councillor has criticised figures for safety incidents at HM Naval Base Clyde, writes Euan Carr. The MoD stated last year that a total of 505 incidents were reported at Faslane since 2006, while a freedom of information request has also revealed 284 at Coulport, making a total of 789.
The figures were revealed last week after a freedom of information request to the MoD by SNP MP Deirdre Brock, who branded them ‘a shocking record of accidents and incidents’.
