What were the results of the recent meeting of scientists from countries with "Arctic" interests, whether the United Kingdom was represented, and if not, what steps Her Majesty's Government are taking to ensure British participation in international Arctic science.
§ Lord Brabazon of TaraWe are unaware of any recent such meeting.
