Mr. Coffey and the Tax Institute specifically mentioned the issue of court jurisdiction. We know we must have a referendum on the EU patent court, and my party has received legal advice to the effect that the TTIP agreement would require a referendum as TTIP sets up its own court above and beyond our courts. On this basis, is the Tax Institute saying it believes there may be a constitutional issue here?
