Sep 13 - ERG Urges UK Government to Consider George Cross for Gibraltar
Equality Rights Group has welcomed the positive response given to a Parliamentary Question at Westminster tabled by MP Oliver Colvile, a supporter of the George Cross for Gibraltar campaign, regarding the award.
‘Government Commons Speaker Leader Andrew Lansley confirmed his prior awareness of the Campaign, adding that the British Government will be giving careful consideration to this honorary award for Gibraltar,’ Chairman Felix Alvarez added.
The Government is compiling a further dossier of incidents that Gibraltarians and other residents have suffered in Spain since the end of July and is appealing to the public to send in the details of such incidents.
The public has been asked to note that the quality of the bathing waters at Western Beach could deteriorate at any time and without warning. This is due to the discharges from the storm drain constructed by the Spanish authorities in La Linea, Spain. Discharges and the contamination they cause are often erratic and can be heavily influenced by the quantity and duration of any rainfall.
