HC Deb 11 April 1973 vol 854 c280W
38. Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give the names of the existing local authorities in the Yorkshire and Humberside region which have applied for the granting of parish council status, commencing on 1st April 1974, and the approximate date when he intends to publish his decision on these applications.

Mr. Graham Page

Proposals for successor parish councils are made to the Local Government Boundary Commission, and I have no information on them at this stage. My right hon. and learned Friend has asked the commission to make its recommendations by about the end of May, and hopes to be able during the course of June to publish its report and his decision on it and lay the necessary order before the House.
