Ease migration rules for Indians to win post-Brexit deals, say MPs
The Guardian ^ | 24 June 2019 | Richard Partington

Cross-party group of MPs urges greater priority be given for trade talks with India

The government must make it easier for Indians to come to Britain to secure a post-Brexit trade deal with one of the world’s fastest growing economies.

Warning that Britain is falling behind in the global race to engage with India on its path to becoming an economic superpower, the Commons foreign affairs committee said ministers urgently needed to update their strategy on India and could not rely on historical links from the days of empire.

The cross-party group of MPs urged greater priority for post-Brexit trade talks with India, while calling on the government to facilitate the easy movement of people to come to Britain among priorities for improving relations.

...Leading Brexiters have used the idea of turning Britain into an outward-facing, global trading powerhouse among key arguments for leaving the EU. However, critics say the promise ignores the steps such a policy would require, including higher levels of non-EU migration

.... In the period since the Brexit vote, net migration has gradually fallen, fuelled by less EU migrants arriving than in the past. Non-EU migration has, however, risen steadily over the past five years.

..Britain has lost ground in attracting Indian students and tourists to other countries, while the UK has plunged from being India’s second-biggest trade partner in 1999 to its 17th.

Tom Tugendhat, the Conservative chair of the foreign affairs committee, said: “India is an essential partner to the UK. Our relationship and the living bridge of people who link our nations will only become more important.

“The government needs to make sure the UK is making its support for India clear, reawakening the ties between us and building bridges that are made to last.”

Farage will ensure that the UK becomes a big trading partner with non-EU countries.

And Prime Minister Boris Johnson will implement it!

This is excellent news for the UK - and Boris is a shoo-in for Prime Minister!

The UK will win a big deal with India post Brexit. The UK would undo May’s shut-down on Indian students and thereby get a big trade deal. Ditto for the US trade deal - Boris will accept American standards and get a huge deal. Ditto for the China trade deal - accept Huawei and the doors would open

Yup Sikhs. The ones who fought against Islam and have a religious law against eating halal (so no halel food for them).

These people along with Hindu and Christian and Jain Indians are an asset to any country. So it is good that the UK will open up immigration to them.

Hopefully the UK won’t import the Pakistani Muslims like the rapists of Rotherham or the 26/11 terrorists or the Mayor of London, all Pakis

Definitely. However 11% of Indians are Muslims. Thankfully they are normally the lower educated sort

Can you point out any Muslims brought to the UK by the EU?

You're deviating. I asked you a simple question - Can you point out any Muslims brought to the UK by the EU? -- you made a false statement, so now prove it or apologize for the false statement

867V309, I repeat, you made a false statement all the moslems the eu imported to the uk.

Admit your false statement - the EU has "imported" absolutely zero Muslims to the UK.

let's go through the list of Muslim problems in the UK

7 July 2005 London bombings -- all the attackers were born in the UK to Pakistani Muslims imported BY THE UK in the 80s exceot for Germaine Lindsay who was of Jamaican origin - and converted to Islam with his white British wife Samantha Lewthwaite

The Glasgow attack in 2007 when a British born Muslim and an India born Muslim - both british citizens imported BY THE UK, tried to destroy planes and passengers

The 2017 London bridge attack - led by a Paki Muslim with Moroccan accomplices - all imported BY THE UK

The Parsons green bombing - an Iraqi imported by the UK

Rotherham rapists - imported by the UK

Stop making false statements 867V309

ok, you're a troll, and I know better, but I just can't help myself.

ONLY a country-like Hungary- resisting eu pressure would say molsems were brought there by the pressure of the eu.       uk ain't one of them.

eu are just eu-nichs, afraid of their islam masters     case closed.

Britain needs to learn from our mistake and NOT allow any Indians to go to Britain. Maybe we can send the millions here to Britain? Else deport them all back to India?
