Less than two weeks before Christmas I have no intention of boring readers with a long list of properties which successive Labour governments requisitioned from private owners to use as Labour party clubs.

It is a long list indeed and one which Stefan Zrinzo-Azzopardi so conveniently ignored in his letter Property Requisitioned By A PN Government (December 5).

In his letter, the PL general secretary ad interim referred to the Sta Venera PL club but failed to mention that although it was requisitioned by a PN government in the late 1960s for public purpose (construction of a new road), it was immediately taken over by a new Labour government in 1973 and converted into a PL club.

Neither did he mention the Siġġiewi PL club which Labour is fighting tooth and nail to keep at the cost of depriving the people of Siġġiewi from this unique property in their village square.

Perhaps, one of Labour's New Year's resolutions should be that of returning to their owners all the property it requisitioned together with proper compensation.
