The Equality Rights Group (ERG) has welcomed the recent Budget Speech announcement by Health Minister Dr John Cortes to the effect that the GHA has now decided to hold twice-monthly HIV clinics in Gibraltar.
Mr Speaker, I am proud and privileged to be delivering my maiden budget address. The past seven months have been a defined learning curve for me - sitting on this side of the House is certainly proving advantageous. Mr Speaker, I shall be taking your advice from question time in making short and important points.
Mr Speaker, as always, it is with great pleasure that I deliver my Budget Address in this House. This speech marks my ninth Budget contribution as a Member of Parliament and my fifth as a Government Minister. It is Mr Speaker, my second Budget Address as Minister with responsibilities for Business, Employment, Postal Services and the Department of Social Security.
Mr Speaker
Being elected to Parliament on 27 November 2015 was a great honour and privilege. I wish to thank all those, all 4784, who entrusted me with their vote and who have given me the opportunity to serve our community as a front line opposition member in this House.
Mr Speaker, I have the honour to present my third Budget address in relation to the areas that form part of my ministerial responsibilities, in what is our Government’s fifth Budget since the General Election of December 2011, and first since last year’s election.
