Call for Evidence

Terms of reference: Defence in Scotland: the North Atlantic and the High North

The Committee is inviting written submissions before Thursday 19 January. These should focus on, but not be limited to: 

• What are the UK’s national security priorities in the North Atlantic and the High North?
• What role do Scottish-based defence capabilities have in achieving defence and security objectives in the North Atlantic and the High North?
• To what extent does the MoD’s Arctic strategy work to help achieve strategic defence objectives in the region?
• Is the Arctic Strategy being delivered effectively in Scotland? For example, are Scottish bases sufficiently equipped to meet operational requirements?

The Committee values diversity and seeks to ensure this where possible. We encourage members of underrepresented groups to submit written evidence.

Deadline for submissions

The Committee calls for evidence to be submitted by 23.59 on Thursday 19 January.
