I welcome the UK-India trade deal, which is good for salmon and good for whisky. Will the Secretary of State use his muscle to ensure that a chain of small distilleries in my constituency and across Scotland can sell a wee dram to India, as well as the big brands?
Mr Speaker, I would like to draw the House’s attention to reports of a crash on take-off of a London-bound Air India flight from India today, and allow the Secretary of State to express our concern.
Mr Speaker
It is very important, and I think the Leader of the House will make reference to it when we get to business questions—if we get there.

I thank my hon. Friend for that intervention. That was a very powerful point, if slightly long. There are people who face these really traumatic and difficult decisions every day, including Louise Shackleton, who I believe is also with us today.

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I thought this was a debate to discuss amendments, not a general debate.
Mr Speaker
It is, but I think this is the opening lead-in to the amendments. I will make that judgment call.
