The third Alexander Frick cabinet was the governing body of Liechtenstein from 31 December 1957 to 16 July 1962. It was appointed by Franz Joseph II and chaired by Alexander Frick.

History

The cabinet succeeded the Second Alexander Frick cabinet on 31 December 1957 with Alexander Frick continuing as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein.[1][2] The cabinet remained after the 1958 and 1962 general elections.[2]

The government succeeded in introducing disability insurance in 1959.[3] It also attempted to join the European Free Trade Association but was unsuccessful, instead being represented by Switzerland.[4][5]

Frick resigned on 16 July 1962 reportedly for health reasons.[4] As a result, the cabinet was dissolved and he was succeeded by Gerard Batliner in the First Gerard Batliner cabinet.[1][2]
