In October 1966 the Jonckheer-Kroon cabinet was formed. Because Jonckheer, Kroon and Isa became ministers they were replaced by Van der Veen, Rozendal and Pijpers. Pieters Kwiers, Van der Hoeven, Lampe and Petronia gave up their seats and were replaced by Abbad, Campman-Zielinski, Geerman and Finck.
