All the nuclear missiles and avionics are made and maintained at the Atomic Weapons Establishment, Aldermaston in Berkshire. There are no proposals whatsoever to relocate this to Milford Haven. In fact the government announced a we're-all-in-this-together £2billion investment at Aldermaston in November 2011, specifically for the Trident renewal and maintenance works. Of course, there is the fitment and extraction works and servicing of the submarines, but this is done at the joint SSBN facility at Brest, in France. This only leaves re-fuelling jobs, which is not required, as the subs are nuclear powered. So what is this jobs bonanza to be claimed for Milford Haven ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411161795798360588.post-33932025952552729032012-06-30T19:33:01.242+01:002012-06-30T19:33:01.242+01:00I don't believe for a single moment that Carwy...I don't believe for a single moment that Carwyn was making a point.<br /><br />He saw the opportunity to bring a certain amount of jobs without any effort at all and it backfired rather spectacularly.<br /><br />There are many people in Scotland who will be voting yes just to get rid of Londons rule and or/WMDs who aren't SNP members or voters.<br /><br />Much like there are many people in Wales who see Plaid as a means to an end.Welsh not Britishhttp://www.welshnotbritish.comnoreply@blogger.com
