00:00This has been a fantastic negotiation for the UK.
00:04We've gained some major access for British goods and services to India
00:08in a deal which is worth nearly £5 billion a year, every year, to the UK.
00:13Particularly good for whisky and gin and for vehicles and for a whole range of things
00:17which no other country in the world is going to be able to have.
00:20And of course in any trade negotiation there are things the other side wants,
00:23particularly in this case on things like textiles, but it's not a zero-sum game.
00:27What this means is things like clothes and footwear in the UK will be cheaper for British consumers
00:32because of the position we've been able to come to.
00:35So this is great news for the UK.
