The Chief Minister, the Hon Fabian Picardo QC MP, said: “It is great to be able to see Sir Bob back on the Rock as the COVID pandemic starts to recede and travel becomes easier. He is the staunchest supporter ofthe rights ofthe People of Gibraltar and, apartfrom that, also a dear friend of Gibraltar who has the ability to understand the complexity of the some of the issues we face and advocate powerfully alongside us in Westminster on any and all matters. The factthat he is a highly regarded member ofthe governing party lends credibility to any argument he puts forward and that is to our collective benefit! I was therefore very pleased to welcome Sir Bob back to Gibraltar after such a long, COVID induced, absence.”
