The Nationalist Party has written to the parliamentary committee for the environment and development to discuss the preliminary site evaluation report on the development of a university at Zonqor Point in Marsascala.
The letter was written by PN shadow minister for the environment Marthese Portelli and spokesman Ryan Callus to committee chairperson Marlene Farrugia.
The two asked for an urgent meeting in view of the developing situation.
In reply the government said it had no problem in publishing the preliminary report on the site earmarked for the University project, despite the fact that no preliminary report had ever been published before. In the same way, there is no problem in having the report being eventually discussed in the parliamentary committee, when the time is right, despite the fact that it does not fall under the remit of this committee. The government said that it wishes for an even wider debate on the subject.
