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 worlds 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 Indias 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.

The world want Boris Johnson to take the UK out on 1 July!
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
better indians than than the diaper-headed terrorists.
Those are all Sikhs, are they not ?
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
responding to trolls is like fighting in the gutter.
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
An internet troll is someone who makes inflammatory statements and lies without any fact.. oh now I see why you call yourself that
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?
