We noted that the Department is quite a long way from reaching the 80% target and asked the Department when it expects to meet it. The Department told us that it thinks it will reach the 80% target but that the timescale will be challenging.19 The NAO found that joining the CPTPP and a new agreement with India would represent 0.4% and 1.5% respectively.20
