Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what progress her Department has made on securing UK membership of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership.
This question was answered on 5th April 2022
On 18 February 2022 the UK reached a major milestone in our accession process. Japan, on behalf of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) members, announced that the UK can move onto the final phase of the accession process, market access negotiations. This means the UK has demonstrated to members of the partnership that it is a high-standards, fair trading economy.
