The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, today met with the Foreign Secretary, Rt Hon Lord David Cameron, at the Foreign Office in London in order to discuss the outstanding issues and matters in the ongoing negotiation with the European Union in relation to Gibraltar.
The Opposition says that the announcement last week in Parliament that the shares formerly held by the Slovenian entity in Gibtelecom had been purchased by the Gibraltar Savings Bank “raises important questions which directly relate to the concerns raised by the Opposition in relation to the state of our public finances.”
The Chief Minister said he was completely satisfied that the Dr Giraldi Inquiry Report had dealt with every allegation of mismanagement and abuse in an “exhaustive and determinative” manner. The final cost of the Inquiry has just been revealed as totalling £2,642,453.
An immaculately executed 21 Gun Salute was fired today by the Royal Gibraltar Regiment today to mark the 63rd anniversary of the Queen’s Accession to the throne.
