Section 27(3) of the Localism Act 2011 should be amended to state that parish councils must adopt the code of conduct of their principal authority, with the necessary amendments, or the new model code.

The government does not agree that this is necessary and has no plans to repeal Section 27(3) of the Localism Act 2011.
