Mr. Baldwinasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware that the machinery for the collection of parish council election expenses is cumbrous and expensive; and whether he will consider such alteration as may be necessary to relieve parish councils of the necessity to set up an organisation to deal with what in many instances is only a matter of a few pounds.
