The Scottish Government has been against nuclear power north of the border.
UK ministers have been asked to plan for a new nuclear power plant in Scotland, Alister Jack has said, despite objections from the devolved administration.
He predicted a unionist administration will be in power in Scotland after the next Holyrood election in 2026 He added that he does not “see any point in having a great fight over it” given the “timescales in front of us” – likely an allusion to the upcoming general election expected this year.
