Nationalist MP Jason Azzopardi this evening called on the Speaker to investigate whether replies given to him in Parliamentary questions by Home Affairs Minister Manuel Mallia were deceitful and intended to misguide him and the House.

Dr Azzopardi said that while he had given one answer to a particular question, the minister had claimed the opposite in a previous one.

Replying, Home Affairs Minister Manuel Mallia said he never deceived or wanted to deceive anyone.

Moreover, it seems Dr Azzopardi was referring to replies given about different army brigadiers and not to the same person. He was also referring to different courses.

He reserved the right to see the questions Dr Azzopardi was referring to and reply by Monday.
