Speaker Anglu Farrugia has said that Parliament will need the President's address to discuss the PN's 12-bill anti-corruption document.

"Unless there is a recommendation by the President, the House will not discuss a Bill, or any legislative amendment that requires additional public funds to be spent," Farrugia said in a ruling which had been requested by PN MP David Agius.

The 12 legislative bill document presented by the opposition is to implement the major findings of the public inquiry into the assassination of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia and to fight corruption.

Farrugia found that the proposal to create an anti-corruption inquiring magistrate would need funds to set up.

On Monday, The government refused to table the PN's anti-corruption bills for a first reading in Parliament, arguing that the 12 bills "contain aspects of a money bill."
