Recommendation (the committee's words)
We reiterate the recommendation of previous inquiries that the UK should establish the position of Arctic Ambassador or Arctic Envoy, who would assist the Minister for the Polar Regions in co-ordinating a cross-government approach to the Arctic. This appointment would send a strong signal regarding the UK’s commitment to the region.
