A breach of privilege complaint against Communications Minister Austin Gatt raised by former Opposition leader Alfred Sant is to be debated by the Privileges Committee of the House of Representatives tomorrow.

Dr Sant had raised a privilege complaint when Dr Sant denied claims made by Dr Gatt in Parliament that he had information about the MITTS hacking inquiry and had tried to spin the story to a newspaper so as to mislead investigations.

This is the first case the privileges committee is consider during this legislature. The committee is chaired by the Speaker of the House, Louis Galea, and is made up of two members from each side.
