Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what progress she has made on securing a free trade agreement with India.

The Secretary of State has just returned from India, where she met her counterpart in the Government of India to discuss the free trade agreement, including goods, services, and investment. She also had the opportunity to meet Indian and UK businesses, who made clear the mutual benefits a forward-facing deal could bring to both nations.

Round six is currently underway, and at its conclusion we will update the House via a Written Ministerial Statement.
