Parliamentary sessions in Gibraltar could be televised live before the summer, according to Chief Minister Fabian Picardo.
The Government plans to provide a live stream of proceedings on a dedicated Parliament website.
“That live stream will also be made available to GBC or to any other interested party,” he told Parliament in response to Opposition questions.

According to Mr Picardo the proceedings will be filmed using high definition cameras that record broadcast-quality images.
Broadcasters will be able to tap into the raw feed before it is streamed in lower definition on the internet.
“The government IT department has already started working on the specification of the cameras and systems required
in order to facilitate the webcasting of the work of this Parliament,” he said.
The Chief Minister added that he would present a motion in Parliament on televising proceedings prior to allowing the cameras to go live.
But he added that he was keen to progress this during the first half of the year.
“My intention is that this should happen as soon as possible, hopefully before the summer,” Mr Picardo said.
