Question to the Department for International Trade:
What steps he is taking to increase the UK's proportion of global trade with India.
Exports to India were up nearly 20% in 2018 on the previous year, totalling over £7.9 billion.
We have a number of initiatives to strengthen our bilateral trade relationship with India, including the Joint Working Group on Trade, which recently met in March.
Only last night I was at the Grant Thornton tracker event with the Confederation of Indian Industry, to celebrate the success of some of the top Indian companies in the UK.
