    A PLEA has been made for the Government to reveal a top-secret nuclear dumping ground situated in Argyll and Bute.

    MP Alan Reid has called on the defence secretary, Bob Ainsworth, to come forward and name the site where the waste - radioactive waste from decommissioned nuclear submarines - is being disposed of.

    It comes after revelations that at least one site on the confidential list is situated in Argyll and Bute.

    It was also revealed that Coulport was previously named as a possible site, but was later rejected.

    Mr Reid said: "Every community in Argyll and Bute is now worried that a site near them is on the secret list of sites being considered as a nuclear dump.

    "The Government must publish the list of sites. Publishing the list would set some people's minds at rest.
