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.
Gibraltar took the opportunity to raise the issue of the continued harassment by Spain at the 44th Conference of the British Isles and Mediterranean Region (BIMR) of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. The conference is currently being held in Cardiff.
The Government of Gibraltar has today warned against increasing threats made against Civil Servants, by members of the public. The warning comes following an incident at the Housing Department during which a member of staff was told by an individual that he would ‘burn the place down’.
