Bills for First and Second Reading. We remain on the Second Reading of the Appropriation 5 Bill 2019. Mr Speaker: The Hon. Dr John Cortes. Minister for the Environment, Energy, Climate Change and Education (Hon. Dr J E Cortes): Good morning, Mr Speaker. I rise for my eighth Budget speech conscious that being the last one in the electoral cycle it could conceivably be my last. While resisting the temptation to summarise the accomplishments of this latest part of my life’s journey, I must however comment very briefly on how different Gibraltar is today from an environmental perspective. In 2011, all you could recycle here was glass. There was virtually no climate change awareness, no possibility of a Parliament even debating let alone passing a motion on the climate emergency.

Introduction 1. Mr Speaker, this is my sixteenth budget address as a Member of this Parliament. 2. It is my eighth budget address as Chief Minister. 3. Mr Speaker, as part of my address on this second reading of the Appropriation Bill, I have the honour to present the estimates of Government’s revenue and expenditure for the year ending 31st March 2020. 4. I also have the honour to present the out-turn for Government’s revenue and expenditure for the year ended 31st March 2019, which was the seventh full financial year of a Socialist Liberal Government since we took office in December 2011. 5. Mr Speaker, the House is having to meet today on a Jewish feast day, the day of Shavout. I wish all members of that important religion a happy feast and apologise to the Hon lady for having to meet today. She and I discussed options for adjournment which she knows we would have pursued if it had been possible. 6. Mr Speaker, this address will be the last of this Government in the lifetime of this Parliament and before a general election. It also comes some thirty six months after the decision of the British people in a referendum to leave the European Union. 7. Additionally, Mr Speaker, I rise to address the House this year on some other significant anniversaries which have a bearing on who we are today and our enduring security.

After meeting with considerable opposition and persecution from the Established Church and others, the Methodist Conference decided to support the work by providing missionary ministers. The early work of building a chapel, fighting for their rights and gaining a degree of official sanction and protection is part of the story.

The Gibraltar-Malta Nexus: Two European Mediterranean Identities Ln
The Gibraltar-Malta Nexus: Two European Mediterranean Identities ln. Onetime Fortress Ports Henry Frendo This paper is a work in progress exercise, delivered at the Euromed's La Navigation du Savoir encounter at St James Cavalier, (Valletta in 2004) l which may be extended and revised in due course . An upgraded version would comprise more specific comparative references to Malta and Gibraltar both in the context of British naval policies and assessments, especially working and living conditions prevailing during the inter-war 2 period relating to dockyard employment and otherwise , as well as the earlier Maltese migratory movement and settlement before and especially after the building of the Suez Canal, including aspects of cultural clash, ethnicity, crime and possible scapegoating, all of which have continued to some extent to reverberate in a collective memory, in spite of the 3 gradual assimilation . 1. (Its preparation was caught in between two public lectures, one at the Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Valletta, on Cristoforo Columbo, recalling the significance of his navigational feat in 1492, and the other on M.A. Vassalli, U father of the Maltese language", who died in 1829, at Sant' Anton Palace, Attard.) 2. See e.g. the extensive report on "Gibraltar Living Conditions", Adm 116/ 4994, ft. 1-67, for the mid-1930s. 3. See e.g. the 19th Gibraltar censuses data (many thanks to a Gibraltarian research assistant Kelly Frendo) as well as exchanges of correspondence between this writer and various Gibraltarian researchers, including Tom Finlayson, and residents, including Charles Rosado. With regard to the still simmering British Spanish negotiations about Gibraltar, there was an intervention in the House of Lords on 14 May 2002 by Lord Wallace of Saltaire, partly inspired by an observation in my paper at the Calpe conference in Gibraltar (infra), enc.
