The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department has made an estimate of the number of UK-based employers who will use the double contribution convention within the UK-India free trade agreement for exempted workers coming to work in the UK.

Answered by James Murray

The OBR will certify the impact of the trade deal including the Double Contributions Convention in the usual way at a fiscal event, once the deal is finalised and ratified. The agreement to negotiate a Double Contributions Convention was made in the context of the wider deal, which will bring billions into the economy.
