May 16 - Parliament Discusses Works to Power Station Distribution System
During yesterday evening’s Parliament session, in response to questions from the Opposition on the recent incorporation of the temporary power station at the North Mole and whether this still meant that there was a need for a high voltage network system, Minister with responsibility for Utilities, Steven Linares explained that with the commissioning of the Temporary Power Station, new high voltage cables were laid between the site at the North Mole and the Waterport Power Station. Minister Linares added that these new cables had reinforced the high voltage network accordingly. In response, Opposition member Jaime Netto asked whether the Minister believed that the whole grid needed to be reinforced.
The Gibraltar Kennel Club was recently accepted as a full member of the Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI), the international federation of kennel clubs following a secret ballot held by member countries who voted to accept Gibraltar’s application by a majority of 32 votes to 26.

The Opposition has voiced their astonishment at the Government’s pettiness within press releases. They insist that if the administration spent more time ‘ getting on with the job they were elected to do, they might be delivering some of the change that they promised people at the last election.’
