As part of Unite the Union’s young members’ committee awareness campaign, two of their members delivered a presentation to the young people at Dolphins Youth Club. The presentation was aimed at informing club members of the opportunities available to them when they join the workplace. It also raised awareness of their rights and helped them understand the role of Unite and of the work they have carried out in the past and are currently undertaking.
In response to the recent Government statement, the Chairman of the GSD, Trevor Hammond said: "I am passionate about the safety of our community and the people in it, both in a professional and political capacity. Nothing is more important to me and my sole interest in LNG in Gibraltar is whether it is safe for Gibraltar. I will always challenge anything that places our homes, schools, hospital and people at risk. What is clear is that not everyone is satisfied that the GSLP Government has done its due diligence on their LNG storage and bunkering proposal. The GSD will do whatever it takes to keep our country safe and refuse to let anyone suggest that the Lloyd's report wasn't in our national interest. These press releases only serve to distract from the real issue which is the safety of Gibraltar and its people.
The Government of Gibraltar has called on the Chairman of the Gibraltar Social Democrats, Trevor Hammond, to clarify whether, at the time that he presented the Lloyd's Register Report to the public on 10th June, he knew that it was the Spark Group of Companies that had commissioned it.

A local man who pleaded guilty to phoning the Housing Department offices at City Hall and threatening to burn down the building was allowed to go home after 13 months in custody.
The Government of Gibraltar notes that there is to be a trial of the issues in respect of the very serious allegations of historical sexual abuse that have been made against Lord Greville Janner, of which he has previously denied any wrongdoing.
The GSD has said that the Government does not know what to do in order to discredit the Lloyd’s Report, which, says the Opposition, continues to be the only safety report on the proposed LNG Bunkering installations produced in Gibraltar.
