| The Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Hon. Anton Tabone, was | presented with a copy of the publication "Guardian of the Public Purse – a History of State Audit in Malta". |
| The Auditor General, Mr. Joseph G. Galea, who made | the presentation, informed the Speaker that the co-authors of the book Dr. Godfrey Pirotta and Dr. Edward Warrington, were both enthusiastic on the assignment when approached to write on the subject. Mr Galea stated that he considers the result to be of the highest calibre. |
| The study traces the historical development of state | audit in Malta from the closing phases of the Knights’ Rule in Malta to today. Among other things it explores the association between constitutional development and the reorganization of state audit; the format content and purposes of audit reports; recurring themes in audit reports and their usefulness as commentaries about governance in Malta; as well as the evolution of the powers and responsibilities vested at the head of this institution over the centuries. |
| The Speaker thanked the Auditor General for this | presentation and praised the worthwhile initiative that was taken. On a pertinent note Mr Speaker intimated that a similar exercise was being planned to issue a publication on parliamentary history in Malta. |
| A copy of "Guardian of the Public Purse" was also presented | to the Speaker for the Library of the House of Representatives. |
