HC Deb 08 April 1960 vol 621 c74W
Mr. Iremonger

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what steps he is taking to consult the associations of local authorities about the most appropriate form of legislation to amend the Local Government Act, 1933, to enable the establishment of single parish councils for groups of parishes each having a population of over 300; and whether he will undertake to include such legislation in the forthcoming Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill.
