Local authorities are entirely independent corporate entities having full responsibility under law for the performance of their functions and the discharge of their governance and other responsibilities.

Given the corporate independence and diversity of state bodies and agencies and multiplicity of land holdings for a range of different purposes, there isn’t currently one central database of all lands solely in state ownership. Local authorities are however required to maintain their own asset registers. The acquisition and disposal of property is a matter for the Local authority and I have no function in this matter.
