Parliament experienced the first call for quorum during this legislature.

The call was made by Labour whip Joe Mizzi during question time when nobody from the government side could tell whether Minister for Gozo Giovanna Debono, who was acting for Minister George Pullicino, was in fact abroad on government business. Mr Speaker Louis Galea suspended the sitting for five minutes.

However, the sitting resumed after there were more than the required 14 members present in the Chamber after the suspension.
