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.
The GSD says it would like to remind the public will about the concerns it raised over Mr Sardeña’s claim against the Gibraltar Bus Company Limited for unfair dismissal. As predicted, says the GSD, the “unexpected and sudden withdrawal” by the Government has resulted in a “significant award” of £51,238.40 being made to Mr Sardeña. This information was revealed in answer to questions put to the Government by Mr Selwyn Figueras.
