Chris Said, Ivan J Bartolo, and Graham Bencini were not in attendance, but the Nationalist Party whip, Robert Cutajar, stated that they had expressed their support for the opposition’s motion.

From the government’s benches, Romilda Zarb, Clyde Caruana, and Clint Camilleri were not present. And Former Labour MP – now Independent MP – Rosianne Cutajar left shortly before the vote. It is unclear why she decided to not register her vote.
