<p>I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to him on 3 April 2014, <em>Official
Report</em>, Column 780W which explained that we are minded to make regulations to
make it clear that councils (including town and parish councils) can send council
papers electronically; councillors would continue to have a right to receive them
in hard copy by post should they wish. As indicated in that answer, we have been undertaking
an informal sounding on the Order with key partners; we now intend to make regulations
before the end of the year.</p><p> </p><p>Separately, we also intend to publish a
consultation paper on proposals to reform parish polls, further to the enabling provisions
introduced in the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014.</p><p> </p>
