- representations to be made by the department to their Indian counterpart about the impact on British Sikhs and Punjabis, with longstanding links to land and farming in India;
- an update of any communications the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has had with the Indian Government on this issue, including with the Indian Foreign Secretary, Harsh Shringla, who visited the UK on 4 November.
