Trade negotiations with India have been restarted after they stalled in the spring .

Negotiations stalled in part because the then -Conservative Government in Britain was uneasy about India ’s demand to exempt Indian workers in the UK from National Insurance contributions.

Such an exemption would be a large liability for the taxpayer, at a time when it cannot afford one.

India has recently signed a new mobility agreement with Australia , providing enhanced visas for Indians in Australia , with pathways to permanent residence.

Australia looks intent on copying the same policies which condemned the Conservatives to defeat in Britain in 2024 .

Britain has a decent piece of leverage here, and should refuse to agree to a likely asymmetrical social security agreement with India .
