Apr 22 - Governor Shoots Down Marine Expert’s Parliament Comments on Defence of Gibraltar Waters
The Governor’s Office has insisted today that comments made by Dr. Chris Tydeman in his evidence to the UK’s House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee ‘do not accurately reflect either the Governor’s Constitutional role or his public position on sovereign issues’.
A statement insists that the UK does not recognise Spain’s SCI listing nor its attempt to designate an SAC. This position has been made clear to the Spanish Government and was even highlighted during the Foreign Secretary’s statement to Parliament on December 10th 2012.
The Gibraltar Museum has announced a series of forthcoming lectures for 2013. The series is entitled ‘The History of Gibraltar in Five Parts’ and will see a number of speakers explore multiple interlinked facets of the Rock’s varied past, which together have helped to create the Gibraltar of today.
