00:00Well, this is a historic day for the United Kingdom and for India, because this is the
00:06biggest trade deal that we, the UK, have done since we left the EU, and it's the most ambitious
00:13trade deal that India has ever done, and this will be measured in billions of pounds into our
00:20economy and jobs across the whole of the United Kingdom. So it is a really important, significant
00:26day. And, look, it's been promised many times over the last eight years. Prime Minister Modi
00:32and I decided in Brazil last year that we would move at pace in relation to these negotiations.
00:39We've done that in a serious way, in a pragmatic way, and we're able to show that that's what
00:47delivers results. So I'm really pleased for working people across the country who will
00:52feel the benefits of this, of course, at an increasingly uncertain time in terms of trade
00:58and the economy across the world. So this is a very significant step, and I'm very pleased
01:02that we've got this far with this really significant trade agreement.
