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.
Echoing the GFSB’s protest against ‘a private company being allowed to organise a New Year’s Eve event at the Tercentenary Sports Hall, without having to bear the same rent burden as bars and restaurants’ the GSD has called upon the Government to disclose publically how much the hire of the hall to Rock Royale Events was, on New Year’s Eve.
As the festive season draws to a close, arrangements are well underway for the organisation of this evening's Three King’s Cavalcade, organised by the Cavalcade Committee. The Gibraltar Cultural Services have been working closely with the committee to ensure that once again sweets are distributed at the event.
Former Minister to the GSD Government, from 1996, Bernard Linares has died aged 80. Bernard served three terms under the ministerial portfolios of Education, Health, Culture and Civic Affairs.
