Should we welcome the fact Faslane is to become the UK's only nuclear submarine base?

BBC Radio Scotland - Morning Extra, Should we welcome the fact Faslane is to become the UK's only nuclear submarine base?

Graham Stewart takes your calls on the nuclear submarine site being moved to the Clyde.

The Faslane naval base on the Clyde is to become the dedicated home for the UK's entire nuclear-powered submarine fleet. Trafalgar class submarines, currently based at Devonport in Plymouth, will begin joining the Vanguard fleet based at Faslane in about five years time. 

Local politicians say it's good news, securing the future of a major employer. But, after recent news of nuclear leaks, many think the culture of safety at Faslane leaves a lot to be desired.
