The supreme sacrifice of Abela, Attard, Bajada, Caruana, Darmanin and Dyer paved the way, along with the unceasing political pressure exercised by the Maltese leaders, for the British Government to grant Malta its 1921 Self-Government Constitution on the basis of which the Legislative Assembly, made up of four deputies elected from each of eight electoral districts, was set up, run by a Speaker and Deputy Speaker, and by means of which a Prime Minister and a Cabinet of Maltese Ministers, as well as a Senate made up of seventeen members, some of them representing specific groups, were appointed.
