To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what support he plans to give to the World Economic Forum Arctic Council.
Mark Simmonds
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs
There are no specific plans to support the World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council on the Arctic. However, I welcome the work of the forum in advancing thinking on the complex issues at play in the Arctic. My officials will continue to engage with the international discussions, primarily through fora such as the Arctic Council and Arctic Circle.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
