HC Deb 16 July 1990 vol 176 c453W
Mr. Buckley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to publish the results of the survey carried out by his Department on the workings of parish councils; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

My Department is in the process of commissioning research on parish councils; the target date for the completion of the research will depend on the terms of the contract eventually made.
