The Royal Gibraltar Police (RGP) investigation into the allegation that ‘whistle-blowers’ were incentivised to provide evidence to the McGrail Inquiry “has not uncovered any evidence that meets the threshold for criminal prosecution for Misconduct in Public Office.”
As announced by the Minister for Health, Care and Business, Gemma Arias-Vasquez, during the Gibraltar Society of Accountants Annual Dinner last month, His Majesty’s Government of Gibraltar is today launching a public consultation on the audit threshold for companies in Gibraltar.
The GSD has said that the admission by the Chief Minister that he may use the new powers in the Inquiries Bill to restrict information being received by the public or to ensure that hearings are held in private is a “stunning development.”
Following concerns expressed to the Minster with responsibility for Public Utilities, Gemma Arias-Vasquez, the Government would like to clarify that there has been no change whatsoever to the policy on the Pensioner Utility Grant which is applied to AquaGib and GibElec utility bills.
