"The hon. Gentleman makes a perfectly sound point. That is why my amendment does not say that we should not join the CPTPP, or that we should disallow it for those purposes.

"Does the hon. Gentleman agree that there is often a conflation between all the material an organisation might produce and the material that is used in schools?
