The exchange, in full
The Minister of Health and Wellness (Mr A. Bachoo)

Madam Speaker, I am informed there are two football pitches in Bel Air, one located at St Michel and the other one at Petit Bois Caroline, while the village of Bramsthan has only one football ground. According to the District Council of Flacq, the respective lighting system of the three aforementioned football pitches is functional. With regard to Ernest Florent football ground, I am advised the Council intends to replace the existing underground cables by new overhead wiring as well as the floodlights. Madam Speaker, there are two football grounds at Sebastopol located at Pellegrin and Lesur in Sebastopol where the floodlights have to be replaced as well. I am informed that due to budgetary constraints, the projects at Ernest Florent and Sebastopol football grounds have

78 been deferred and my Ministry and the District Council of Flacq are exploring alternative funding sources.
