To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that the potential trade agreement with India (1) promotes fair and balanced terms, and (2) contains safeguards that protect the interest of the economy.

We are working hard on a deal with India that would boost our current trading relationship, already worth over £38 billion, helping businesses and communities across the UK.
We remain clear that we will only sign when we have a deal that is fair, reciprocal, and ultimately in the best interests of the British people and the economy.
We ensure that all trade agreements maintain our ability to apply trade remedies, including a global safeguard, under the WTO framework to protect UK industries.
