With the proposed India-United Kingdom (UK) free-trade agreement (FTA) reaching the last leg, both countries are trying to strike a balance between their concerns over mobility and migration-related issues, a senior government official said on Friday.

       “We have to balance the UK’s migration concerns with our (India’s) mobility issues. The point is we would like our companies to be given mobility so that they can perform over there and their concern that migration doesn’t go unchecked,” the official said, without divulging details since the discussions are confidential.
