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 GSD continues to press the Government with a line of questioning regarding the Chief Minister’s visit to Washington where he attended a dinner hosted for donors and benefactors of newly re-elected President Barack Obama.
With the Government ‘refusing’ to answer the Opposition’s questions, the party has insisted that for them to say that they did not make any direct payments does not serve to allay the Opposition’s concerns.
The Care Agency has recently held a Level 2 Dignified Care and Responsibility Training Course (DCRT).

Celebrating Earth Hour once again this Saturday, Gibraltar is set to plunge the Rock into Darkness at 8:30pm in order to save energy and promote awareness of electrical consumption. The idea for the event was coined in 2007 by WWF and The Sydney Morning Herald. In order to participate, individuals must turn off all lights in their home or business for one hour.
