Mrs Flick Drummond (Meon Valley) (Con)
The UK has a close relationship with India, and our partnership is vitally important to both nations, but also for global peace and security, and not least trade. Can my hon. Friend confirm that the UK Government will continue to discuss the importance of human rights and the rule of law with India as part of that partnership, especially in relation to any forthcoming trade deals?
Rehman Chishti
Madam Deputy Speaker, you said that brevity is a virtue, not a vice, and the answer to that question is yes.
