By my reading, it does require it.
Quoting from FCD 1539-1:
3.3.2.4 Free form statement continuation:
[...]
If a character context is to be continued, an "&" shall be the last
nonblank character on the line and shall not be followed by commentary.
There shall be a later line that is not a comment; an "&" shall be the
first nonblank character on the next such line and the statement
continues with the next character following that "&".
Maybe it has changed in newer version of the standard.
