There remain important issues that will require resolution and ongoing monitoring if the full benefits of the Agreement are to be realised. The Committee heard that the key bulk whisky tariff line has not been liberalised to the same extent as the Scotch-specific tariff codes. The automotive sector will also require support to make effective use of tariff rate quotas, and consideration should be given to the introduction of core food production standards. (Conclusion, Paragraph 51)

Concerns about remaining barriers to trade undermining UK exports to India despite the Agreement are well-founded. The Government should publish utilisation data for tariff preferences under the Agreement, consistent with its approach for other UK free trade agreements, and report regularly to Parliament on uptake. In doing so, it should explain where utilisation is lower than expected, including where this reflects the complexity or restrictiveness of rules of origin under this Agreement. (R...
