The Department of Local Councils is supposed to keep a register, for each and every local council, which indicates the assets that a particular local council enjoys in its jurisdiction.

The Zurrieq local council has felt the need to obtain a copy of this register, since it needs to verify that all its assets are appropriately enlisted therein.

One surely would not imagine what the department's reply was: This register must be bought by the local council for the hefty sum of Lm17.
