No. 49, the Amendment to the Constitution Bill, is to amend Article 29 in order to recognise the international agreement on the Patent Court. We will have a raft of referendums this year, so is it possible to include it? We were promised that there would be a referendum on this last year. It is not in any way contentious, but if we do not ratify the agreement on the unified Patent Court, it will be a serious weakness in our enterprise armoury.
