The Government says that no sitting of Parliament will take place in May due to building works and the Speaker’s attendance at the UK Overseas Territories Speakers Conference.

A statement from the Government follows below:

HM Government of Gibraltar confirms that there will be no sitting of the Gibraltar Parliament this month. Parliament had been due to meet on 21 May 2026. 

The decision has been taken in light of ongoing works to the Parliament building, particularly works affecting the lift, which are expected to be disruptive. 

In addition, the Speaker of the Gibraltar Parliament, the Hon Judge Karen Ramagge Phillips GMH MP, will be attending the Commons and Overseas Territories Speakers Conference, and will be leaving  on the 22nd of May 2026. 

The annual conference brings together Speakers and Presiding Officers from the UK House of  Commons and the UK Overseas Territories, with the aim of strengthening democratic governance and  sharing best practice in parliamentary procedure.
