The Minister for Trade and Industry says the increase in betting and gaming duty is "significant" - and is "not a good outcome" for the Rock.

Nigel Feetham told GBC this is essentially "a transfer of wealth to the UK from Gibraltar", although he did not put a figure to the potential monetary loss.

He said the Government will hold meetings with stakeholders to assess the impact.

Christina Cortes spoke to Mr Feetham, who is currently in London.
