Jul 08 - Budget Speech By Edwin Reyes
Mr Speaker,
I already mentioned last year that the present Government had acted responsibly in continuing to pursue UNESCO World Heritage status for Gorham’s Cave and its adjacent sites. Indeed, work in this respect had commenced via the Museum Team during my tenure as Minister for Heritage and, therefore, I continue to wish the Museum Team all the best for the future in their ongoing excavations at Gorham’s and Vanguard’s Caves which normally mainly take place during the summer months.
The Government notes that, in the latest in a series of party political adverts which the GSD has placed only in the Gibraltar Chronicle, the party has alluded to the alleged costs in legal aid of the trial of the Marrache brothers.
Mr Speaker, I have the honour and privilege to rise to address this House on the Appropriation Bill for the third time and will be dealing with the following areas of responsibility: Justice, Planning, Transport and Traffic. I’m looking forward to an uninterrupted delivery Mr Speaker, if all Honourable members allow it!
The Chief Minister will be appearing on the prestigious morning current affairs programme, Espejo Publico tomorrow on Antena 3. Mr Picardo will be interviewed ‘live’ by presenter Susana Griso at 9am.
