Only a small fraction of the concrete at Mater Dei Hospital was supplied by Mixer Ltd, a company owned by former minister John Dalli’s brother Sebastian, Sebastian Dalli said in a statement this afternoon.

He said he did this as a supplier to one of the subcontractors with whom he had a long standing relationship well before the Mater Dei Project started.

“I also state that in 1996 I never supplied concrete to the Mater Dei Project alone as there were always other suppliers/contractors involved.  I did not supply any concrete to Mater Dei from end 1996 onwards.

“I was never a subcontractor on the project,” he said.
