UK Relations With India
EDM number 2714 in 2010-12, proposed by Keith Vaz on 08/02/2012.
Categorised under the topic of Asia.
That this House is deeply concerned by recent events which have served to undermine the excellent relationship between India and the UK; notes that the Top Gear India Christmas Special, featuring the unhelpful comments of Jeremy Clarkson and Dow Chemicals' sponsorship of the London 2012 Olympics in particular have had a very negative reaction in India; is concerned that Indian student applications to UK universities are falling; is disappointed by Britain's failure to secure the fighter jet contract from India despite the efforts of successive defence ministers; and calls on the Government to re-energise this vital, special and enduring relationship which ought to be one of the closest and most beneficial in the world.
This motion has been signed by a total of 4 MPs.
