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 Opposition says that it was revealed last week, in answers to questions in Parliament by the Shadow spokesman for Transport, Selwyn Figueras, that Big Publications Limited (‘the Company’), which was awarded the bus advertising contract in 2012 following the election of the GSLP/Liberals to Government, “has failed to deliver anywhere near the level of revenue promised by it to the Bus Company.”
The Minister for the Port, Neil Costa, will shortly be heading to Hong Kong as part of the Gibraltar Government’s continuing campaign to “aggressively market the Port of Gibraltar on a global scale.”
The Government has commissioned a legal opinion on the definition of innocent passage given the discussions relating to the procedure which is used at present to categorise the entry into British Gibraltar Territorial Waters of foreign state vessels.
At about 1515hrs yesterday afternoon, and following numerous calls from members of the public, officers of the Royal Gibraltar Police, Gibraltar Defence Police, Gibraltar Fire and Rescue Service, Highways Enforcement Officers and the GHA Ambulance Service responded to a Road Traffic Collision by the multi storey car park on Devil's Tower Road.
