TOI correspondent from London: MPs of all political parties criticised the UK-India FTA at a debate in the House of Commons on Monday, with shadow trade secretary Andrew Griffith saying: “Instead of a vindaloo of a deal, the PM came back with a bag of soggy poppadums.”
Trade minister Chris Bryant defended the deal, saying UK businesses saw it as a “fine tandoori”, pointing out that by 2050, India will be home to more than a quarter of a billion high-income consumers offering a huge market to UK exporters.
