Sant not reacting to media reports on hacking claims

In the item entitled Breach Of Privilege Complaint: Sant Not Reading Media Reports About Hacking Allegations, which appeared yesterday, The Times reported that former Opposition Leader Alfred Sant told the House Privileges Committee on Monday that he had refused to read any article published in the media about his allegation that his government e-mail account had been hacked by Mitts for two years.

In fact, what Dr Sant actually said was that over the past year in no manner and in no forum did he deny or comment upon media reports about him.

He never said he had refused to read any article about his allegation.

It must also be pointed out that Dr Sant has insisted that he never alleged, including during Monday's sitting of the House Privileges Committee, that his government e-mail account was hacked by Mitts for over two years.

The error is regretted.
