Aftermath

The new session of the Estates began around 8 December 1954. Before that Jonckheer, Kroon, Van der Meer and Lampe gave up their position in the parliament to become government ministers in the First Jonckheer cabinet. They were succeeded by Hueck, Van der Linde-Helmijr, Rosario and Lopes. Van der Linde-Helmijr was at that moment the only female in the parliament but not the first one; A.A. de Lannoy-Elisabeth was from 1949 until 1954 a female member of the Estates. Anslijn became a member of the parliament instead of Maduro.
Early 1955 Voges became a member of the parliament to replace Debrot and later that year O.R.A. Beaujon, Pieters Kwiers and P. Croes were succeeded by Bikker, Abbad and Finck. A year later Sint Jago succeeded Gerharts. After Eman died he was replaced by De Cuba.
