Drew Hendry (Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey) (SNP):

Will Ministers do the right thing, back Fort George and end the unhelpful speculation now?

The MOD continues to review its estate to ensure that it is smaller and more sustainable, allowing us to focus on delivering future defence capability and enabling considerable investment in sites such as Lossiemouth and Faslane.

However, Scotland, like the rest of the UK, must expect some sites to close and some investment in other locations.
