A new group in Parliament will 'ensure greater coordination and a strong voice for heritage within government.'
The Heritage Council is a partnership of groups, including the Council for British Archaeology, the Heritage Lottery Fund, Natural England and The National Trust. It will 'link the heritage sector and all government departments with an interest in, or impact on, the heritage sector and will act as a means of enabling dialogue and driving progress on key policy areas for heritage. The Council will support government in the implementation of heritage policy in England.'
