May 26 - Number Six: Gibraltar Still Waiting For Answers From The GSD

The Government has said that it is now over two weeks since it asked the GSD for “unequivocal answers” to the following questions:

Was Daniel Feetham aware that Elliott Phillips filed his Declaration of Interest form six months late? 


- If not, when and from whom did Mr Feetham find out that Mr Phillips had filed his Declaration of Interest form late? 


- Given how negatively Mr Feetham considered that Mr Isola's late filing of his Declaration of Interest form should be viewed, what actions is he considering taking against Mr Phillips in respect of his own "woefully late" filing of his Declaration of Interest form?

Number Six says that, as there has been no response to any of these questions, “it seems likely that Mr Feetham had no idea that Mr Phillips' Declaration of Interests form had been submitted at almost the same time as that of Mr Isola.”

A statement continued: “It would have been very odd indeed for Mr Feetham to have criticised Mr Isola if he knew that his GSD colleague had taken exactly the same actions. 
The Government can only assume that Mr Phillips had failed to tell the Leader of the Opposition that he had hadn't submitted his Declaration of Interests on time or, even worse that he had lied to Mr Feetham on this subject. What other logical explanation is possible? 
After two weeks, Gibraltar's fair-minded people are still waiting for answers to the questions above.”
