It is a pleasure to see you in the Chair, Sir Alec. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Weston-super-Mare (Dan Aldridge) for so expertly introducing this debate on the UK-India technology security initiative. Technology and my early upbringing in India have profoundly shaped my life, so it is a particular privilege to respond to this debate on behalf of the Government. Indian investment has already created over 1,800 jobs across the UK. Following the Prime Minister's visit to Mumbai in October, we have secured a further £1.3 billion in direct investment. The UK-India technology security initiative will create good, well-paid jobs in the UK, build our children's skills for the future and drive investment in every part of our country. It is no exaggeration to say that our future prosperity depends on our ability to drive innovation-led growth, to secure the supply chains and technologies on which our economy relies, and to build a strong research base and skills future so that British people and businesses can thrive. The UK cannot deliver those objectives alone; success depends on our trusted partnerships with India. Our bilateral relationship has gone from strength to strength, with technology and innovation firmly at its core. It is expected to increase bilateral trade worth £47.4 billion a year by £25.5 billion and to increase both Indian and UK GDP by nearly £5 billion a year in the long run. Major Indian tech companies like Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, and Wipro are expanding in the UK, supporting jobs, productivity, and innovation across our economy. Linkfields is investing £1 £10 million in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, and Glasgow; Mastek is opening an office in Leeds and an AI centre in London, creating 200 skilled jobs including 75 apprenticeships; EdSupreme is investing £10 million across England and Wales and creating 100 jobs. The UK-India technology security initiative brings collaboration in frontier technology across telecoms, critical minerals, semiconductors, AI, quantum, biotechnology, healthtech, and advanced materials into sharper focus. We have delivered several joint AI innovation projects together through the UK-India Joint Centre for AI. Our co-operation extends to advanced connectivity; working together to shape future communications networks will help provide seamless coverage even in remote areas of our countries. The India-UK Connectivity and Innovation Centre has an initial £24 million in joint funding, driving innovation in how AI is used in telecoms networks, non-terrestrial networks such as satellite internet, and telecoms cybersecurity. We are collaborating on innovative technologies in femtech with a letter of intent between the National Institute for Health and Care Research and India's Department of Biotechnology to improve health outcomes for women and support economic growth by driving innovation, attracting investment, and strengthening our life sciences sector.
