Greg Hands
Party Chair, Conservative Party, Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)
Progress has been made on negotiating a free trade agreement with India, closing the majority of chapters and making headway on the outstanding issues. Only the most complex issues remain open, with talks focused on goods, services, and investment.
The Government remains focused on securing a deal in the best interests of the British people and economy. It has always been about the deal and not the date.
Officials are expected to continue talks during India's pre-election period.
