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.
Scott Wiseman has been released from the Gibraltar National Squad for the game against Malta. Wiseman has reportedly had “an extremely tough season” and in conjunction with Preston North End FC, the Gibraltar FA have released him to allow him to properly recover from an injury he has been carrying for some time now, which has not fully healed.
Gibraltar took the opportunity to raise the issue of the continued harassment by Spain at the 44th Conference of the British Isles and Mediterranean Region (BIMR) of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. The conference is currently being held in Cardiff.
The Government of Gibraltar has today warned against increasing threats made against Civil Servants, by members of the public. The warning comes following an incident at the Housing Department during which a member of staff was told by an individual that he would ‘burn the place down’.
