Archbishops’ Council submits petition on HS2 Bill to Parliament June 3, 2014 by Fulcrum The Archbishops' Council has submitted a petition on the HS2 Bill to Parliament, regarding treatment of burial grounds and human remains. http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cmhs2/petitions/1756.pdf A Church of England spokesperson said "In terms of 'opposition' the C of E is not opposing HS2 per se, rather we are petitioning for a technical change to the Bill, ie we are opposing the Bill in its present, in our view technically deficient, form. It is simply a matter of re-instating a clause which can be found in other legislation relating to development and has been left out of this Bill."
