Parish and Town Councils: Personal Records
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will amend the Localism Act 2011 to allow parish councillors to withhold personal contact details from open publication without the need to show threat.
- Answer
-
I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to Question UIN 75866 on 16 September 2025. We intend to remove the requirement for home addresses to be published when parliamentary time allows. This would apply to all local government members, not just parish councillors.
