Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, how much funding she has allocated to supporting UK businesses in India; and if she will make a statement.

The department’s budget for the South Asia Network, for the financial year 2019/20, is £4.4 m for staff and non-pay expenditure. There is no specific budget for India.

Wider DIT budgets, which are not set at a regional level, also support the delivery of trade.
