Revealed: MoD ignoring risk of terror attacks on Clyde nuke subs

The Ministry of Defence has come under fire from its own expert advisers for failing to take account of the risk of terrorist attack on the nuclear submarine bases on the Clyde.

A previously secret report released to the Sunday Herald under freedom of information laws also says there are “uncertainties” in the MoD’s risk estimates for accidents caused by aircraft crashes, fires, floods, explosions and ship collisions.
