Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what recent discussions he has had with his Indian counterpart on free trade negotiations with that country.

The Business and Trade Secretary travelled to New Delhi in February where he engaged closely with his counterpart, Minister Goyal, to relaunch and progress negotiations towards a deal that delivers on our mutual interests of economic growth.

Following from this they are continuing to work together closely to direct negotiating teams, capitalise on the positive momentum, and secure a deal that strengthens our trade and investment relationship.
