Lorely Burt
The right hon. Gentleman makes an even more persuasive case by referring to Birmingham. He is absolutely right that small businesses are the generator that is dragging us out of this recession, and the ability of small businesses to access Indian markets is vital. He could not have made a more appropriate point.
Can the Minister say whether the Government will reconsider their position on mode 4 services and come back with an improved offer as a means of unlocking the EU-India free trade agreement, hopefully by the end of this year?
