Jul 11 - Gibraltar Puts Its Views Directly To Cabinet Office
The Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and the Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia this morning met in Downing Street with the UK Government team that is leading on mapping the way forward following the result of the Referendum of 23rd June.
They were accompanied by the Attorney General Michael Llamas and UK Representative Dominique Searle.
The meeting was with the UK Government team leader Cabinet Office Minister Oliver Letwin, the Minister for Europe David Lidington and a number of officials from different departments including the constitutional section. The Government says that the political situation in UK is “very fluid” and there is a possibility that these Ministers may change, but it was nonetheless important that Gibraltar has an input into the process at very the outset.
The Government has already made clear that it “will leave no stone unturned to protect the wider interests of Gibraltar” and this meeting in Downing Street is part of a series of meetings which are designed to pursue this.
