Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.
Senators mentioned the issue of whether God should be mentioned in the preamble to the constitution. We must recognise that a large number of members of the Convention do not wish to see such a reference in the constitutional treaty. I, and the Government, of course, would be quite happy to see a reference to God in the constitution, but this is an area in which consensus will be difficult to achieve. Let us hope, however, that it can be achieved.
