SICM 1 - The Legislative Reform (Payments By Parish Councils, Community Councils And Charter Trustees) Order 2013

The objective of the Order is to remove an outdated burden on the affected bodies. The Order would remove the requirement for every cheque or other order for the payment of money by a parish and community council to be signed by two members of the council – the “two signature rule”. With the advent of electronic banking this requirement is considered out-dated.
