List of governors-general (1964–1974)
The governor-general of Malta was the representative of the monarch in Malta and exercised most of the powers of the monarch. The governor-general was appointed for an indefinite term, serving at the pleasure of the monarch.[1] The governor-general was appointed solely on the advice of the Cabinet of Malta without the involvement of the British government. In the event of a vacancy, the chief justice served as the officer administering the government.[1]
