Two Maltese men who are known to the police were found hiding in Parliament this morning.
The Speaker said in a brief statement the two men were found between 9.30 and 10.30am.
The police said the men were found in the tunnel at level -2, an area closed to the public which links the parliament building with the former Yellow Garage.
The men did not breach the actual Parliament building.
The Speaker thanked the police for their work in apprehending the trespassers but requested an investigation, saying this was a serious security breach.
He questioned whether the camera surveillance system covers the whole premises and has also launched an internal investigation.
Parliament is currently in summer recess.
