Malta Requests for Financial and Economic Assistance 1949

Sir Paul Boffa, OBE (30 June 1890 – 6 July 1962) was Maltese prime minister between 1947 and 1950. He took office after self-rule was reinstated by the British colonial authority following the end of World War II. In 1949, following the Malta Labour Party’s ultimatum to Britain concerning financial help, the party split up; but Paul Boffa continued as Prime Minister. More here.
