Dec 08 – Chief Minister Has A Pecuniary Interest In Sunglasses Shop - GSD
The GSD says it notes the explanation afforded by the Chief Minister to allegations made on social media that he held an interest in a business selling sunglasses at the time he reduced duty on sunglasses to zero at the last Budget. It will be recalled, says the Opposition, that the GSD then issued a communiqué asking the Chief Minister to make a public statement as to the veracity of the allegations. Consequent on that communiqué, the Chief Minister said that the information was "out of date" and that he "used to own a sunglasses shop many years ago". He then said that he owns "a company with other investors" which now operates as "a landlord of property in Main Street, from where another business operates selling sunglasses".
The final communique issued at the end of this week’s meeting of the Joint Ministerial Council in London contained references to several issues of current concern to Gibraltar. Overall, the communique pledged the UK, the Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies to work together in areas such as Prosperity, Security, Environment, Governance, Communities and International issues.
