The Gibraltar/La Linea Cross Frontier Group (CFG) met with the Minister for Europe David Lidington during his recent visit to the Rock. The group updated him on the hardships which the continued checks and queues imposed by the Spanish authorities are having on EU citizens.
The Government has said that Mr Feetham and the GSD have “developed an extraordinary thin skin” and now seem to find that even a description of someone's speech as "boring" is somehow improper or unfair.
The GSD has noted comments made by the Chief Minister on his Twitter feed during the speech in Parliament by Opposition member Jaime Netto this morning. The tweet read, "Jaime Netto ‘bores for Britain’ during Gibraltar Budget Session... #yawn".
Dr. Cortes this morning gave his budget speech covering responsibilities from his position as Health Minister. Here is the speech in its entirety:

Introduction
This past year has seen the consolidation of environmental thinking in Government policy and action, cascading and percolating well into the private sector. On looking back and taking stock, Mr Speaker, I am at the same time embarrassed at the huge environmental deficit Gibraltar held to the rest of the world in 2011, as I am proud of the way that it has advanced since.
