An inquiry should be launched into the security of the UK’s nuclear weapons following claims about the conduct of MP Joani Reid at Faslane, the SNP has said.

The party urged the UK Parliament’s Security and Intelligence Committee to investigate the security of Trident in light of reports about the Scottish Labour MP.
