About your Member of Parliament

  What assessment he has made of the potential impact of the UK-India free trade agreement on the economy.

• Business and Trade: UK-India Free Trade Agreement 12 Jun 2025

  I draw the House’s attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. I am having some import-export issues myself, as my first book, a provocative and racy thriller, is being published in India in July.

• Business and Trade: UK-India Free Trade Agreement 12 Jun 2025

  It is called “30th State”. May I congratulate the Secretary of State and former colleagues on this deal, which is great for whisky distilleries such as Lochlea in my constituency. When I was trade commissioner, Conservative Ministers were clamouring for a trade deal with India. Will my right hon. Friend tell the House how he has managed to do it one year after they failed miserably?
