00:00We are backing British car companies like JLR and our India trade deal will see tariffs slashed
00:07for car sales and that is good for British jobs. And the criticism on the double taxation is
00:14incoherent nonsense. It's a benefit to working people. It's in the agreements that we've already
00:20got with 50 other countries. And if the Member for Clacton or the Leader of the Opposition is
00:27seriously suggesting that they're going to tear up agreements with 50 other countries,
00:31create a massive hole in our economy, they should get up and they should say so.
