Good bless you. You have recognised a very important fact & a great opportunity for not only UK but also other G7 nations. For saving G7 from recession, India is an opportunity, just like China was 20 years ago. India has a great appitite for absorbing Foreign Investment. Only the Govt & private sector lobby has to be greased to move fast to quickly / seamlessly absorb this opportunity. This will be a win-win for the world economies.
