In the second week of September Bob was invited to Gibraltar by its First Minister The Hon Fabian Picardo QC. Bob and the First Minister are friends and Bob has been visiting Gibraltar since his early twenties when he led Army diving teams to the Rock for training expeditions. Now, as an MP, Bob is an active member of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Gibraltar and he speaks in the House of Commons in support of its British citizens frequently - especially to denounce Spain's frequent violations over border controls. The photograph shows Bob aboard HMS Scimitar off Gibraltar in British waters.
