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.
On his second visit in under a year, Shadow Europe Minister Labour MP Gareth Thomas today met with the Chief and Deputy Chief Ministers to discuss various matters including the continuing frontier queues and other matters which the Chief Minister insisted needed to be understood by Westminster, including the UK Government’s Point of Consumption tax which will target Gibraltar based gaming companies and recent attacks on Gibraltar’s Bunkering industry.
The Royal Gibraltar Police have received a number of reports from persons receiving e-mails that appear to be from a local Bank asking them to ‘confirm’ certain details relating to their bank accounts.
Fresh from his presence at the recent FT Weekend Oxford Literary Festival, the Minister for Tourism, Neil Costa, has declared that the second edition of the Gibunco Gibraltar Literary Festival is already taking shape and promises to be another memorable event in Gibraltar’s cultural calendar.
