Gibraltar’s representation at the Labour Party Conference continued yesterday evening with the Gibraltar Reception hosted by the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and featuring a keynote speech by the UK Minister for Europe and the Overseas Territories Stephen Doughty MP.
The Committee of the All Party Parliamentary Gibraltar Group met on Tuesday evening in an emergency session to elect a Chairman to fill the post made vacant by the sudden death of Jim Dobbin.
An article penned in weekly Conservative magazine ‘The Spectator’ this week follows a former institution that once bound together the Spanish and Gibraltar, namely the Royal Calpe Hunt. The magazine noted that the hunt proved ‘an outstanding example of the friendly cooperation between Gibraltar and Spain which sadly no longer exists’.
