You are a longstanding politician and a member of the GSD whose career has spanned decades of public service.

You joined the regular army in 1974 and served to 1980.

Then the Territorial Army from 1986 to 1990 when you undertook the PGCE to become a qualified teacher at Canterbury University and was then commissioned in 1981 into the RAFVR where you ended up eventually as CEO of the Gibraltar Squadron Air Training Corps and you retired in late 2003 Correct Your involvement in the community affairs began long before you entered Parliament In your university years you elected President of the Students' Union at Urbaniana in Rome a position you held for two years You served as President of Gibraltar Teachers' Union and Chairman of the Gibraltar Trades Council and you also then, in between everything, ordained as a priest in 1985 In 2007 you elected to the Gibraltar Parliament as a member of the GSD You went on to serve in the government led by Sir Peter Caruana as Minister for Culture, Heritage, Sport and Leisure and subsequently took on housing responsibilities.

Following the GSD's move into opposition in 2011, you continued your parliamentary career taking on shadow ministerial responsibilities, particular in education, culture, employment and sport.

Your journey from student representation and the classroom to the cabinet table offers an opportunity to explore not only the development of Gibota over the years but also your personal experiences over time in public service I hope that...
