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.
Chief Minister Fabian Picardo was this evening unable to deliver a lecture at the University of Cadiz as a result of serious public order issues which led to him being advised that his personal security could not be guaranteed by law enforcement.
Officers of HM Customs on duty at Eastern Beach came under attack by a group of men from the Spanish beach north of the frontier fence at 15:00 today. The group attempted to enter Gibraltar unlawfully but were deterred by the number of HM Customs Officers who responded to the situation from several out-stations.
