Carnival UK, Britain’s leading cruise operator of P&O Cruises and Cunard, has declared that Gibraltar is the third most visited port of call for them in 2015 after Southampton – their home base – and the Portuguese port of Lisbon.
Last week Mr Tim Gowing, son of the late Commissioner of Police Dudley S. Gowing, paid a courtesy call on the Royal Gibraltar Police. Mr Gowing was visiting Gibraltar together with members of The Friends of Gibraltar Group and took the opportunity to meet the senior command of the Royal Gibraltar Police at New Mole House.
The chairman of the Committee of 24, Xavier Lasso Mendoza, took the unusual step yesterday of approaching the Gibraltar delegation after it had delivered its addresses to introduce himself and conduct a short and informal discussion with the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo.
YGTV’s reporter
in New York spoke to Denis Matthews, Chairman of the Self Determination for Gibraltar Group, about his speech and the prospects of delisting in the future.
YGTV: Can you give me a quick summary of the key points of your speech?
Denis Matthews: The salient facts are that the Treaty of Utrecht handed Gibraltar over for ever and subsequent treatises confirmed British sovereignty. I also tackled the issue of territorial integrity which is governed by a resolution whose language is absolutely precise and clear.
