:04:19. > :04:22.be just weeks away. BAE is considering whether to shut one of
:04:22. > :04:25.the yards on the Clyde or a yard in England instead. Tonight,
:04:25. > :04:35.politicians are getting behind the Scottish yards, but how long will
:04:35. > :04:36.
:04:36. > :04:42.their unity last? Our correspondent Jamie McIvor is by the Clyde.
:04:43. > :04:49.3000 people work at the two Clyde yards. In recent years, their story
:04:49. > :04:58.has been a positive one. But BAE is thinking about what to do when
:04:58. > :05:03.there is less Royal Navy work. The decision is between closing one of
:05:03. > :05:09.the two Clyde yards, or at the yard at Portsmouth. Any decision will
:05:09. > :05:15.play a part in the decision about independence. It has been a hectic
:05:15. > :05:19.few years at the Clyde yards. This newly built section of an aircraft
:05:19. > :05:24.carrier was recently told off. Royal Navy work has kept the yards
:05:24. > :05:31.busy. Even the latest uncertainty over the future, does not seem to

:05:42. > :05:46.made profits for this company. need to wait and find out. Part of
:05:46. > :05:51.the story is that there is probably going to be less work in a few
:05:51. > :05:56.years. Owner BAE has two shipyards on the Clyde and a third in
:05:56. > :06:04.Portsmouth. One of the yards may close. A decision is expected
:06:04. > :06:09.within weeks. Inevitably, there is some apprehension here, but many
:06:09. > :06:15.analysts believe that the Portsmouth yard is the most
:06:15. > :06:23.vulnerable. But it goes to the heart of the bigger issue of the
:06:23. > :06:30.debate on independence. Would a defence jobs be vulnerable?
:06:30. > :06:35.Clyde yards have built some of the biggest and most famous ships for
:06:35. > :06:40.the Royal Navy. But the Royal Navy has never built ships in a foreign
:06:40. > :06:48.country. If Scotland was to become independent, it would be a foreign
:06:48. > :06:52.company for the Royal Navy. People should be confident that there is a
:06:52. > :06:59.future for the highest standard of shipbuilding, and that is what we
:06:59. > :07:04.have got on the Clyde. What ever the reality of BAE's thinking, a
:07:04. > :07:10.decision to close Portsmouth would be interpreted as some of the
:07:10. > :07:20.company is not worried about independence. But at the decision
:07:20. > :07:21.
:07:21. > :07:26.to shut one of the yards on the Clyde would be interpreted as a
:07:26. > :07:31.vote against independence. I suspect the political debate will
