B. REMAINING ORDERS AND NOTICES
Business in this section has not yet been scheduled for a specific date. It has therefore been
set down formally to be taken in the Chamber today but is not expected to be taken today.
1. HIGH SPEED RAIL (WEST MIDLANDS - CREWE) BILL: SECOND READING
Notes:
The Speaker has not yet considered this Bill for certification.
2. HIGH SPEED RAIL (WEST MIDLANDS - CREWE) BILL: SECOND READING -
REASONED AMENDMENT
Michael Fabricant
Jeremy Lefroy
That this House, while recognising the increasing need for additional north-south rail line
capacity to relieve congestion on the West Coast Main Line south of the Midlands and to
improve connectivity between major cities and with London, declines to give the High
Speed Rail (West Midlands - Crewe) Bill a Second Reading because (1) there are better
ways to address any rail capacity issues north of the Midlands, (2) the line set out in the
Bill is routed through unspoiled countryside unnecessarily damaging the environment
including wildlife habitats, ancient woodlands and waterways, fails to connect via HS2
Phase 1 with HS1, the Channel Tunnel and the European continent, fails to connect
directly through HS2 Phase 1 with potential airport hubs for London and the south-east of
England, and fails to connect directly to existing major mainline stations and the existing
rail network, (3) the Bill provides inadequate compensation to those blighted by the route
and those whose property is subject to compulsory purchase orders, (4) the Bill fails to
provide for sufficient public transport to disperse HS2 passengers disembarking at
London Euston, and (5) the Bill does not implement a more environmentally sympathetic,
better integrated, and more cost-effective route, such as the route originally proposed by
Arup which would have used existing transport corridors minimising environmental
damage and reducing costs by around £10 billion, and which would have connected
directly with HS1 and the continent, London Heathrow Airport, Birmingham International
Airport, and major conurbations.
