(9.31 p.m.) DRUG PROLIFERATION – FOREIGN EXPERTISE Mr R. Jhummun (Second Member for Riviere des Anguilles & Souillac): My question is addressed to the hon. Prime Minister. Given the proliferation of drugs over the last ten years like never before, I am afraid to say that if we do not act firmly and forcefully, the situation may become irreversible. With all due respect to our police service, without undermining the police service, I would like to ask the hon. Prime Minister whether the Government is contemplating having foreign expertise to assist us in our fight against drugs and drug trafficking. Thank you.

Madam Speaker, yes. Thank you for reminding us; we all know what the problem with drugs is. We are renaming what was NATReSA, as you know; we will have like a czar in the person of Mr Sam Lauthan, who knows how to deal with these, but we will also have expert advice from abroad. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you everybody. At 9.32 p.m., the Assembly was, on its rising, adjourned to Friday 07 March 2025 at 3.00 p.m.
