Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if she will make an assessment with Cabinet colleagues of the potential impact of the UK's accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership on the UK's greenhouse gas emissions.

The initial analysis published in the Government’s scoping assessment suggests that UK accession to CPTPP is not expected to have significant impacts on greenhouse gas emissions (CO2 and Non-CO2) and energy usage.
