The House Business Committee has earmarked an evening meeting on January 19 to ask the Grand Harbour Regeneration Corporation for an update on progress or lack of it on the new Parliament building at City Gate.
Speaker Anġlu Farrugia told committee members that although the GHRC had not come forward, he was regularly sending representatives on site to report on the state of things. Up to Thursday last week, the MPs’ benches were still not in place.
To a question by Opposition deputy leader Mario de Marco on whether the building would have been handed over by Easter, Dr Farrugia said that until GHRC gave a completion date, Parliament could not set a date itself for the desired migration to take place.
