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 Government says it takes note of the result of the Referendum in Scotland as a “true reflection of the will of the Scottish people” and describes it as a “tribute to the democratic traditions” of the United Kingdom that the people of Scotland were able to exercise their right to self- determination and freely to choose their future political status.
Two incidents this week saw the RGP seize a total of 70,000 cigarettes. The first case saw the Marine section intercept two 3 metre RHIBS smuggling tobacco at the East Side reclamation. As the RGP interceptor moved in, persons scattered the scene and six boxes of tobacco were seized on board one of the RHIBs.
An RAF Hawk Flypast will be conducted tomorrow evening, to commemorate the Battle of Britain. Two Hawks will carry out a sortie, with the flay past taking place over RAF Gibraltar, in honour of those who lost their lives in the Battle of Britain campaign.
