Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Ranil Jayawardena and Eleanor Laing

Thursday 2nd December 2021 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Eleanor Laing)]

I call Peter Grant—[Interruption.] I call the Minister first.

[Mr Jayawardena]

I commend my right hon. Friend for his endeavours in making sure that Scotch whisky can be enjoyed by more people more reasonably all around the world. Britain wants a deal that slashes barriers to doing business and trading with India’s £2 trillion economy and its 1.4 billion-strong population, and Scotch whisky is at the top of our agenda.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

And now we come to Peter Grant.
