Accounting for the Fund The Companies Act 1985 does not apply to all public bodies but the principles that underlie the Act’s accounting and disclosure requirements are of general application: their purpose is to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the body concerned. The Government therefore has decided that the accounts of public bodies should be prepared in a way that conforms as closely as possible with the Act’s requirements and also complies with Accounting Standards where applicable. The accounts are prepared in accordance with accounts directions issued by the Secretary of State for Transport. The Fund’s accounts consolidate the General Lighthouse Authorities’ (GLAs) accounts and comply as appropriate with this policy. The notes to the Bishop Rock Lighthouse accounts contain further information. Section 211(5) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 requires the Secretary of State to lay the Fund’s accounts before Parliament.

  • How Has Gibraltar's Position Within Britain's Military Structure Impacted
    STUDENT PAPER SERIES39 How has Gibraltar’s position within Britain’s military structure impacted on the role of women in Gibraltar Society? Shelina Assomull Master’s in International Relations Academic year 2016-2017 ABSTRACT The military base is an intrinsic part of a country’s worldwide presence and power made necessary by the anarchistic international system. Gibraltar is a remnant of Britain’s global footprint. The fact that Gibraltar initially acted as a military base makes assessing the base’s position and impact on Gibraltar essential in analysing Gibraltarian gender relations. This dissertation aims to understand this, using feminist theory. To do so, I will firstly focus on the feminist theorising of military bases presented by Cynthia Enloe’s Bananas, Beaches and Bases. I will then examine Gibraltar’s similarities to the ‘base women’ Enloe examines. This will encompass prostitution, marriage, nationality, employment status and other themes in Gibraltar that draw parallels with Enloe’s theory: The base always comes first. This is particularly true to Gibraltar between the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. Part two will build on this by exploring a unique three-way nexus of identity. This nexus encompasses three relationships that intertwine in a way that is unique to Gibraltar. These relationships are; the interaction and tensions between the military and the civilian, the class divide between British and Alien, and at the heart of all these relationships remains a core divide in them all which is that of masculine and feminine. This will demonstrate that although Gibraltar once matched the Enloe base, the territory’s history has developed towards the late twentieth century, maintaining aspects of base life but still evolving its societal dynamics and feminist exterior, resulting in a shift of gender identities today.
