I refer to the article entitled ‘Malta in trouble over hospital land waiver’ (October 1), in which it was stated that questions sent to the Parliamentary Secretariat for Planning and Simplification of Administrative Processes were not answered by the time of writing.

For the benefit of the readers, the e-mail requesting information was sent on September 30 late in the afternoon and, therefore, due to the short notice, it would not have been published in any case.

Editor’s note: The official reply would certainly have been published had it been sent within reasonable time.
