The prime ministers of the UK and India have signed a free trade agreement between the two countries. The deal will cut tariffs on a wide range of goods traded between the UK and India. Businesses have welcomed the agreement, although a number of key issues remain to be negotiated.
The UK Government forecasts the deal will add £4.8 billion to UK GDP in the long run. This represents a welcome boost to growth, but is only a fraction of what could be achieved if the UK secured a closer trading relationship with the EU.
