Councillors
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the current statutory framework for parish councillors.
Answered by Alison McGovern
The Government believes that the current statutory framework for parish councillors is proportionate and adequate. When parliamentary time allows, the Government intends to introduce legislation for a range of measures to create a clearer and consistently applied standards and conduct system that will help local elected members to hold themselves and their colleagues to account.
