Press Release
PRESS RELEASE No. 445/2015 Date: 24th June 2015 Budget Speech 2015 - The Hon Samantha Sacramento MP - Minister for Tourism, Equality, Social Services and Housing Mr Speaker, This has been my first Parliament. It is quite amazing how time flies and that this is my last budget address of this parliament, making it important to pause for a moment and reflect on all that has been achieved for our community by this Government. SOCIAL SERVICES Of all the departments I am responsible for, nowhere is the change as apparent or as rewarding in my view as the tremendous progress that has been made in social services in such short period of time. Ministry of Tourism, Equality, Social Services and Housing, HM Government of Gibraltar • 14 Governor ’s Parade • Gibraltar GX11 1AA t +350 20066482 f +350 20042509 (Centrex 2368) e [email protected] w gibraltar.gov.gi We have gone from a haphazard disjointed service, that, by the very nature of its disorganisation, failed to support and reach out to people as it should, to one that is now a far cry from that. The priority has been to reorganise and restructure in a way that has best worked for the service and the service continues a process of self-assessment and review as needs and priorities change. To say that in the history of social services it is the first time ever that there is a full complement of staff is an achievement in itself, but this Government has not stopped there and we have invested in increasing the number of social workers and support staff. -

DESIGNATION OF UNIVERSAL SERVICE PROVIDER Public Consultation 28th JULY 2021 C04/21 1 Universal services aim to ensure that basic electronic communications services which are essential to social and economic inclusion are available to end users upon reasonable request and at an affordable price. In 2020, the Authority embarked on a public consultation in order to review any possible changes which may affect the universal service obligations and designated provider/s. Public Consultation C05/20 was published on 10th July 2020 and this was followed by Decision C07/20 th on 14 September 2020 which designated Gibtelecom as Universal Service Provider for one year ending on 30th September 2021. Consequently, it is time for the Authority to reassess the current universal service designation and undertake a new public consultation. 2 CONTENTS 1.

The Red Plaques of Gibraltar
THE RED PLAQUES OF GIBRALTAR This document has been compiled by: Julia Harris Contact on: [email protected] Date completed: May 2014 THANKS TO: - Gail Francis-Tiron for her help when needed - Pepe Rosado for reading this and making his valued comments - Claire Montado for giving me some of the older photos to use - My parents for their gentle ‘reminders’ to get this finished and proof reading! INTRODUCTION: These cast iron red plaques were placed around Gibraltar between 1959 and 1975 in possibly the first attempt to present the rocks history to visitors and residents. They were the work of the Gibraltar Museum Committee which at the time was under the chairmanship of the Hon. Mrs Dorothy Ellicott O.B.E., J.P. (see appendix III). Modern information boards will perhaps replace them (see ‘Future’ section below), but I hope this will not happen. They are their own piece of Gibraltar’s history. When I first noticed and started taking photos of these red plaques I looked for a record of how many there were to find. After speaking to The Heritage Trust and Tourist Board I was told there was not an up to date, completed list. So, here is mine, consisting of 49 plaques, some in situ, some not. There could be more around the rock, or in storage, as there are details of up to 53 in a document attached, dated October 1977, (see Appendix I). From this list there are 43 that I have found and are on mine, another 10 I did not find (some I know have been removed from site with no details of where they are stored) and there are 4 that I found that are not on it. -

THE CHIEF MINISTER's BUDGET ADDRESS 2017 Her Majesty's
Chief Minister’s Budget Address 2017 THE CHIEF MINISTER’S BUDGET ADDRESS 2017 Her Majesty’s Government of Gibraltar 6 Convent Place Gibraltar Mr Speaker I have the honour to move that the Bill now be read a second time. 2. INTRODUCTION 3. Mr Speaker, this is my sixth budget address as Chief Minister. 4. It is in fact my second budget address since our re-election to Government in November 2015 with a huge vote of confidence from our people, and I now have the honour to present the Government’s revenue and expenditure estimates for the financial year ending 31 st March 2018. 5. During the course of this address, I will also report to the House on the Government’s revenue and expenditure out-turn for the financial year ended 31 st March 2017, which was the fifth full year of a Socialist Liberal Administration since we took office on a warm autumn day in December 2011. 6. Mr Speaker, as has been traditional now for almost thirty years since the first GSLP Chief Minister delivered the first GSLP Budget in 1988, my address will of course be NOT JUST my report to the House on the Public Finances of our nation and the state of the economy generally, but also a Parliamentary ‘State of the Nation’ review of the economic and political future facing Gibraltar. 7. There could be no better way, Mr Speaker for the GSLP to celebrate its fortieth anniversary than with the honour of a second GSLP Chief Minister delivering a Socialist Budget for Gibraltar.
