Speaker Anġlu Farrugia yesterday said he would study documents presented by Energy Minister Konrad Mizzi in defence of his comments on Monday regarding former Energy Minister George Pullicino, before deciding whether Dr Mizzi should be investigated for breach of privilege.

Mr Speaker gave Dr Mizzi the choice to withdraw his words altogether, corroborate them or be found prima facie guilty of breach of privilege.
