"The UK government is planning to build a new #nuclear reactor in #Scotland despite opposition from Holyrood, according to Scottish Secretary Alister Jack.

"He told a House of Lords committee he had asked the UK energy minister to plan for such a site as part of a UK-wide strategy.

"The Conservative minister also called for the Lords to be allowed to scrutinise Scottish laws.

"First Minister John Swinney accused Mr Jack of being a 'menacing behaviour' and said his government would have 'nothing to do with #NuclearPower.'"
