Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the UK-India Free Trade Agreement, agreed on 6 May 2025, if she will make an estimate of the number of British Nationals that will use the Double Contribution Convention with India in each of the next 5 years.

The OBR will certify the impact of the trade deal including the Double Contributions Convention in the usual way at a fiscal event, once the deal is finalised and ratified. The agreement to negotiate a Double Contributions Convention was made in the context of the wider deal, which will bring billions into the economy.
