    Why does India want this? Surely skilled workers leaving India for the UK is bad for India - far from being a price for the UK, this would enormously benefit the UK. The UK will be getting skilled workers whose education is mostly at India's expense.

      I think if might be about fairness.... probably still a sore point for India, especially with Britian.

      Also, skilled workers may not always stay, and bring back what they learnt. Also, many send money home to relatives. We get another supply of skilled workers. It's win win.

      But we know why Brexiteers don't want this....
