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 GRA is introducing an opt-out register for fax and telephone that will ban-marketing companies from sending out marketing faxes and calls to the subscribers of the register. The opt-out register allows marketing companies to check telephone and fax numbers to ensure that they do not inadvertently call or fax a number that has opted out of direct marketing calls and/or faxes.
The Royal Gibraltar Police would like to remind the public of some crime prevention advice. The next few days leading up to and including the festive period will see a significant proportion of the community out shopping and celebrating Christmas and the New Year with family and friends.
The public are reminded that purses and handbags should be closed, kept in sight and firmly secured. Wallets should be kept in front pockets rather than rear pockets and mobile phones should be out of sight and secured if possible. When out socialising or celebrating again ensure that personal property is secured and kept in view at all times.
During a trip to London this week, the Chief Minister will today host a dinner for the British Gibraltar Parliamentary Group in the House of Commons. Mr Picardo will hold a further reception for members of the House of Lords tomorrow. Members are regularly seen supporting Gibraltar within the house.
