The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will publish the minutes of the Indian Business Leaders delegation meeting of 18 December 2024.

Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander

On 18 December 2024, a business delegation of 13 Indian companies met with the UK's Prime Minister and senior Cabinet Ministers in a curated visit to enhance the UK-India partnership.

The delegation provided perspectives on opportunities for investment and economic growth between the UK and India and discussed opportunities under a UK-India trade deal. The timing of the meeting was agreed in the second half of 2024 and there is no intention to publish minutes of the meeting.
