HC Deb 21 October 1909 vol 12 cc457-8
Mr. ESSEX

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he could say how many parish councillors there were in England at this date, and how many of them were women?

Mr. BURNS

It is estimated that the number of parish councillors in England and Wales is about 58,000. I am unable to say how many of them are women.
