Rejected January 2019

Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.

Recommendation

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.

Government response

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