We must ensure that Westminster is not allowed to carry out another McCrone-style burying of the facts of Scotland's unexploited oil/gas reserves off the West Coast of Scotland.\r\n\r\nGeorge Younger, the Secretary of State for Scotland in the Thatcher Government said there were exploitable quantities in the Clyde and her Secretary of State for Defence, Michael Heseltine, confirmed he had stopped the drilling because of Polaris and now Trident nuclear submarines.\r\n\r\nBP and Chevron not only planned to build an oil terminal at Hunterston on the Ayrshire coast, they planned to build an entire oil and gas refinery. The MoD stopped them.\r\n\r\nAccording to the declassified papers obtained by Chic Brodie MSP, seismic surveys were undertaken by BP, Horizon and then state-owned British National Oil Corporation (BNOC) in an area South of Arran in 1981. In the summer of that year BP was granted a production licence covering the breadth of the Firth of Clyde but was refused permission to continue.\r\n\r\nRecent exploration just off Rathlin Island a few miles south of Kintyre suggests 500 million barrels of oil is available.\r\n\r\nFor full reports see...\r\n\r\nBella Caledonia - https://tinyurl.com/oilandgasreserves\r\n\r\nBusiness for Scotland - https://tinyurl.com/mountainofblackgold\r\n\r\nThe oil lies waiting..\r\n\r\nWhy is it not being exploited? Because Tory and Labour politicians in Westminster and Holyrood would rather have Trident nuclear submarines sailing up and down the Firth of Clyde than create jobs for the people of Glasgow.\r\nThe answer is to vote Yes on 18 September, get rid of Trident and start a new era of prosperity for Glasgow.\r\n\r\nDo you have a story or anecdote about the search for Firth of Clyde oil in the past 30 years?
