HC Deb 28 June 1960 vol 625 c102W
66. Sir R. Nugent

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs when the statutory annual financial statement forms used by parish councils and other parish authorities were last revised; how many are used annually; whether he has received any representations concerning them; and whether he proposes to take any action.

Sir K. Joseph

Forms were prescribed in 1900 and 1911 and were slightly amended in 1938. About 18,000 are used annually. My right hon. Friend is indebted to the National Association of Parish Councils for recent suggestions for revision; and he expects to prescribe new forms later this year.
