Andrew Bonfante, CEO of the Borders and Coastguard Agency (BCA) and Eddie Yome, Commissioner of the Royal Gibraltar Police, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding between the two organisations, in a move expected to formalise their co-operation.
The Government have today noted the “unbelievable press statement” from Daniel Feetham’s GSD which, according to Government, attempts to “Paper over the huge cracks on the economic argument between them and Sir Peter Caruana”.
The press release quoting Sir Peter Caruana states that "Sir Peter has confirmed the GSLP/Liberal view at the election that the debt limit was being reached". Sir Peter said: "... I would have been willing whilst keeping within the economically prudent guidelines to have changes the law to increase the debt ceiling, the debt limit, which I acknowledge would have been necessary.”
In a press release issued earlier today, the Government have hit back in regards to GSD criticism, in the form of an advert pace solely in the Chronicle, attacking works at No 6.
In the statement, the Government reminds “Mr Feetham that the re-decoration of No 6 under Mr Caruana cost in Excess of £1.1m and was money spent on plush curtains and chandeliers.”

A major refurbishment programme of the Upper Rock was unveiled today by Minister for the Environment John Cortes and Minister for Tourism Neil Costa.
The GSD has said that the Government's statement on legal aid yesterday by Minister Licudi is “typical of their approach to all matters inconvenient to them” adding that “attack for them seems to be the best form of defence.” The Opposition believes that, in doing so, the Government is stifling political debate on important issues such as this one.
