The Lord Speaker (Lord McFall of Alcluith)
I call the noble Baroness, Lady Brinton, to speak virtually.
Baroness Brinton (LD) [V]
My Lords, the Government have inserted in the Health and Care Bill, which is currently going through your Lordships’ House, a clause on reciprocal healthcare agreements beyond the existing arrangements with the EU, EEA and Switzerland, because we know they work well. Will reciprocal healthcare agreements form part of the trade talks with India, Greenland and Israel?
Lord Grimstone of Boscobel (Con)
My Lords, I am not yet in a position to give an answer on that. We are at the very beginning of our journey with India but, as always, we will report progress to the House as the talks progress.
