| Abstract: | The principle in the Maltese constitutional law is that Parliament continues "for five years from the date of its first sitting" and that after the expiration of the said five years, it shall stand dissolved (article 76(2) of the constitution). Once Parliament is dissolved, all the items on the agenda of the House of Representatives and all its select and standing committees automatically lapse. These can include motions proposing the enactment of Bills and motions requesting the removal of a member of the judiciary. |
