Any deal we sign with Australia will also include protections for UK agriculture and will not undercut UK farmers or compromise our high standards.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 10/06/2021 12:38:03 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2021 answer text <p>The United Kingdom has a strong investment relationship with India with around 400,000 jobs supported through investments in each other’s economies. In 2019, investment from the United Kingdom in India was worth £15.3 billion, a rise of over £800 million from 2018. At a virtual summit in May between my Rt hon. Friend the Prime Minister and Prime Minister Modi of India, Britain announced her intent to negotiate a comprehensive free trade agreement with India. For British businesses investing in India’s £2 trillion economy, or Indian businesses investing across the United Kingdom, a free trade agreement could offer improved access. On 25<sup>th</sup> May, my Department launched a consultation requesting input from consumers and businesses across all sectors that will help us craft a deal that boosts economic growth creating high-value jobs in every corner of the country.</p> answering member constituency North East Hampshire answering member printed Mr Ranil Jayawardena question first answered 14/06/2021 15:01:36 answering member 4498 label Biography information for Mr Ranil Jayawardena
