Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi and Finance Minister Tonio Fenech said this evening that saw no need to make statements in Parliament over the latter's private trip abroad with entrepreneurs Joe Gasan and George Fenech to watch a football match.
At the start of the sitting, opposition leader Joseph Muscat asked Mr Fenech if he felt he should give a statement in the House in view of what he had said in the newspapers about the trip. Dr Muscat pointed out that the House was the highest institution in the country.
Mr Fenech said he had nothing further to add to what he had said already.
The same was said by Dr Gonzi when Dr Muscat made the same question to him.
