Uk not to change immigration policy to secure India deal

In a resolute statement, the spokesperson for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak affirmed that Britain has no intentions of altering its stance on reducing net migration, even as negotiations for a free trade agreement with India continue to advance. The Prime Minister’s unwavering commitment to a comprehensive and balanced approach remains steadfast.

Optimism is on the rise regarding the possibility of a free trade deal between the United Kingdom and India being finalized this year, with both sides concurring on the overarching framework of the agreement. Nevertheless, the remaining issues on the negotiating table are notably intricate.

Prior to his attendance at the forthcoming G20 summit in India, Prime Minister Sunak briefed his ministers, underscoring the progress in negotiations while emphasizing the necessity of an approach that benefits the entire United Kingdom.

Trade Minister Kemi Badenoch had previously indicated in June that discussions would encompass temporary business visas within the trade context. However, broader commitments related to immigration and access to the UK’s labor market for Indian workers would not be part of the negotiations.

The spokesperson for Prime Minister Sunak articulated, “The prime minister believes that the current levels of migration are too high … To be crystal clear, there are no plans to change our immigration policy to achieve this free trade agreement, and that includes student visas.”

It’s worth recalling that Interior Minister Suella Braverman’s remarks in the past year had triggered a debate, expressing concerns about the potential consequences of Indian migrants in trade discussions. She highlighted apprehensions surrounding both an “open borders migration policy with India” and individuals who may overstay their visas.

As the negotiations between the UK and India navigate these intricate waters, the UK government remains steadfast in its commitment to its immigration policy, underlining the importance of striking a balance between economic cooperation and immigration control.
