(No. B/632) Mr L. Caserne (Third Member for Port Louis North & Montagne Longue) asked the Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, Home Affairs and External Communications, Minister of Finance, Minister for Rodrigues and Outer Islands whether, in regard to the Police Quarters, he will, for the benefit of the House, obtain from the Commissioner of Police and table the list thereof, indicating the – (a) location thereof, and (b) number thereof occupied and unoccupied respectively, giving details of projects earmarked for implementation thereat, if any. The Ag. Prime Minister: Madam Speaker, with regard to part (a) and part (b) of the question, I am informed by the Commissioner of Police that there are 608 police quarters, out of which 545 are being occupied for residential purposes. The remaining 63 are unoccupied as they are beyond repair and there is no project for their rehabilitation. As at now, there is no project for the construction of new police quarters. I am tabling the information requested by the hon. Member. Madam Speaker: Yes, one question.
May I ask to the hon. Ag. Prime Minister, what are the criteria for having access to these quarters, please? The Ag. Prime Minister: Criteria to access. I am informed that police quarters are allocated to married police officers for occupation by them and their families as long as they are serving members of the Mauritius Police Force. They also abide with the conditions and obligations for the allocation thereof, as laid down in Police Standing Orders 140, and the lease agreement. I am also informed that upon retirement, secondment of duty or resignation, the occupants have to vacate the police quarters on or before the date of their retirement or resignation.
Yes, alright. Hon. Ms Savabaddy! FATAL ROAD ACCIDENTS – REPORTED CASES
