Greatrex slams SNP for nuclear plants jobs 'let-down'

Labour will today warn Scotland could be "left behind" in the race for thousands of jobs because of the SNP's opposition to new nuclear power stations.

Skilled workers in Scotland "desperate" to put their talents to use will be let down by the Scottish Government, Labour MP Tom Greatrex will say.

The SNP are opposed to the construction of a new generation of nuclear plants in Scotland. The party says the energy source is costly and dangerous and that Scotland should focus on renewables instead.
