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 has expressed deep concern in ‘the stance taken by the Spanish Government to issue passes which will effectively fast track EU nationals, the vast majority of whom are of Spanish nationality, who live in Spain and work in Gibraltar’.
It is with great sadness that the Government of Gibraltar has learned of the passing of Richard Wells CBE, a long-time Friend of Gibraltar.
Having already visited the Rock as a young man, Richard joined the British Board of Trade in 1964, served in the European Commission from 1973 - 1978 and then in the Department of Trade and Industry and later in HM Treasury.
As a result of the strategic review announced by RBS at the end of February, up to 15 jobs could potentially be lost at the NatWest bank in Gibraltar. RBS trades as NatWest in Gibraltar and the move is part of a wider drive to make the banking giant a “smaller, simpler and smarter bank that puts the needs of its customers at its core.”
