HC Deb 09 February 1915 vol 69 c408
26. Mr. CLOUGH

asked the President of the Local Government Board when he proposed to issue the election Order admitting of the election of parish councillors by ballot, in substitution for, or as an alternative for, the existing custom of electing them by show of hands?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Herbert Lewis)

The matter is receiving attention. As my hon. Friend is probably aware, the next triennial election of parish councillors does not take place till April next year.
