Hudghton (Verts/ALE).
– Mr President, today's vote on nuclear waste is most timely, given
that research recently showed that over half the UK sites identified as
potential nuclear dumps are located in Scotland. My Group today voted
against the nuclear package because it offers nothing in terms of
environmental safety. Furthermore, my party will continue to fight against
Scotland becoming a nuclear dustbin.
The Scottish National Party's vision of an independent
Scotland is one of a clean, green Scotland profiting from our natural
heritage and healthy environment. London, by contrast, seems to think that
the rule when considering nuclear-waste dumps should be 'the further away
the better', and regards Scotland as the ideal place. The people of
Scotland will simply not stand for this treatment and my party will
continue to fight against this filthy industry. |
