The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when he plans to formally present the UK-India Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement to Parliament.

Answered by Chris Bryant

We will do so as soon as possible once the Trade and Agriculture Commission have provided advice on the agreement, which will enable us to produce the necessary Section 42 report, and trigger the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act process thereafter.
