    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.

  • Gibraltar's Constitutional Future
    RESEARCH PAPER 02/37 Gibraltar’s Constitutional 22 MAY 2002 Future “Our aims remain to agree proposals covering all outstanding issues, including those of co-operation and sovereignty. The guiding principle of those proposals is to build a secure, stable and prosperous future for Gibraltar and a modern sustainable status consistent with British and Spanish membership of the European Union and NATO. The proposals will rest on four important pillars: safeguarding Gibraltar's way of life; measures of practical co-operation underpinned by economic assistance to secure normalisation of relations with Spain and the EU; extended self-government; and sovereignty”. Peter Hain, HC Deb, 31 January 2002, c.137WH. In July 2001 the British and Spanish Governments embarked on a new round of negotiations under the auspices of the Brussels Process to resolve the sovereignty dispute over Gibraltar. They aim to reach agreement on all unresolved issues by the summer of 2002. The results will be put to a referendum in Gibraltar. The Government of Gibraltar has objected to the process and has rejected any arrangement involving shared sovereignty between Britain and Spain. Gibraltar is pressing for the right of self-determination with regard to its constitutional future. The Brussels Process covers a wide range of topics for discussion. This paper looks primarily at the sovereignty debate. It also considers how the Gibraltar issue has been dealt with at the United Nations.

  • Albert Poggio to Retire
    PRESS RELEASE No: 130/2016 Date: 21st March 2016 Albert Poggio to Retire Albert Poggio OBE GMH will be retiring as UK Representative for HM Government of Gibraltar and Director of Gibraltar House in London, on 30th June 2016, after 28 years of distinguished service. He is the doyen of the Overseas Territories’ Representatives in the UK. Mr Poggio will remain in post through the campaign on the EU Referendum, which takes place on 23rd June, in order to continue to liaise with Members of Parliament. Albert Poggio has for many years been pivotal in liaising with both Houses of Parliament, political parties, local authorities and prominent individuals in the UK and became a well-known figure in his attendance at all the major Political Party Conferences. Albert Poggio has been HM Government of Gibraltar's Representative in the UK since 1989 and developed Gibraltar House, London, into an impressive window for Gibraltar in the City of London and throughout the UK. Importantly, Albert Poggio was crucial in Gibraltar's campaign to derail the joint sovereignty proposals by Tony Blair in 2001, which if successful, would have led to Spain and the UK sharing sovereignty of the Rock without regard to the views of the people of Gibraltar. In March 2015, Albert Poggio was awarded the Grassroot Diplomat Initiative Honouree Award for strengthening political and business ties for Gibraltarians and British citizens alike over the last 20 years. He was awarded the Gibraltar Medallion of Honour in 2014. Following his retirement, Albert Poggio will continue to work with MPs in the UK Parliament, and as Director (London) of Inward Investment, in a consultancy capacity which means that in retirement he will no longer be based at Gibraltar House.
