Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Transporting nuclear weapons by road is under fresh scrutiny as local authorities press the Government to reveal routeing details, Reading and Slough Borough Councils are at the forefront of the campaign to stop the weapons being transported through built-up areas.

Councillor Geoff Cuttings, leader of Slough Council, says: "The problem is that the MoD will not give us any information about the transport of these weapons through our area. It simply refuses to release information."

Trident missiles and freefall nuclear bombs are taken by road from Aldermaston and Burghfield in Berkshire to the Fasla ne sub marine base in Scotland and RAF bases in East Anglia.
