Employment Minister Evarist Bartolo this evening objected to a Leader of the Opposition accusation that he was misleading the House over the General Workers' Union Community Work Scheme. Dr Busuttil accused Mr Bartolo of creating "obscene precarious jobs". Mr Bartolo asked the Speaker for a ruling saying Dr Busuttil was accusing him of deliberately misleading the House, a very serious accusation. Asked by the Speaker whether he was attributing disloyalty to the House by Mr Bartolo, Dr Busuttil insisted that Mr Bartolo did not want to answer his question not because he used of the words "misleading the House" but because he did not have an answer to the "obscene scheme he created". Amid should from the government benches, Dr Farrugia suspended the sitting to give a ruling. Earlier Minister Joe Mizzi also asked for a ruling saying that Dr Busuttil did not have any right to make statements when asking supplementary questions.
