Committed to working quickly on U.K.-India FTA: Rishi Sunak

The Hindu  

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said that the U.K. government remains committed to working “as quickly as possible” towards a successful conclusion to the ongoing free trade agreement talks with India, as the majority of the substantive negotiation conversations were completed at the end of last month. “I discussed the free trade agreement with India, and both the Prime Minister of India and I committed our teams to working as quickly as possible to see if we can bring a successful conclusion to the negotiations,” said Mr. Sunak. On the new scheme, Labour’s Indian-origin MP Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi questioned the move against the backdrop of “dog whistle” anti-immigrant rhetoric from Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s “incendiary remarks against international students that so incensed people in India”. “The Home Secretary is rightly focused — there is nothing ‘dog whistle’ about it — on clamping down on illegal migration, which the British people rightly expect and demand, and it is something that she and this government will deliver,” Mr. Sunak said in defence of his Cabinet minister.
