Committee representing former Members of Parliament calls on the Speaker of the House

The newly constituted Committee representing the former Members of Parliament who have served in the House of Representatives at some time or other, a group which records to date show a number of eighty or so deputies, called on the Hon. Anton Tabone, Speaker of the House of Representatives, to formally introduce the objectives of their Committee.

The Committee members were led by their Chairman Mr. Carm Lino Spiteri and the Secretary Notary Philip Saliba; also present were former Ministers and former MPs, Professor John Rizzo Naudi, Mr. Philip Muscat, Mr. Salvo Sant and Mr. Louis Refalo.

The Speaker thanked the Committee for their courtesy call and acknowledged the contribution which each former member had rendered to the House of Representatives in the past; moreover the Hon. Tabone commended the novel initiative, which in turn should enhance the general esteem for the Parliamentary Institution.
