Labour MP Chris Agius has urged the authorities to protect the house in Cospicua where former Prime Minister Dom Mintoff was born and where he lived as a child.

Mr Agius noted a slum clearance project planned for Cospicua and said Mr Mintoff's old home may be one of the properties being demolished. He said this house should be saved and restored.

Social Policy Minister John Dalli requested the exact address and details on the historic value of the house so that the necessary verification could be made.
