Madam Speaker, in regard to the proposed construction of Belle Rose Market Fair in Quatre Bornes, I am informed by the Municipal Council of Quatre Bornes that a plot of state land of an extent of 6548 m2 at Victoria Avenue Belle Rose, previously leased to the State Investment Corporation Ltd and sublet to Mauritius Jute & Textiles Industry Properties Company Ltd, has been identified for the implementation of this project. Following the cancellation of the lease, financial clearance was conveyed on 27 October 2023 for the payment of the compensation amounting to Rs5, 293,393.56 to the Mauritius Jute & Textiles Industry Properties Company Ltd for added value to the site. The deed of cancellation was subsequently transcribed on 27 December 2024 and the plot of state land was vested in my Ministry for the construction of the marker fair. However, I am informed that the transfer to certificate for the plot of land is still pending signature before a notary public and despite several requests made by my Ministry to expedite the matter, the formalisation of the transfer has not yet been completed. As a result, the site has not yet been formally handed over for the start of the construction works. In the meantime, preparatory works have been initiated by the council. Bids were invited on 28 January 2026 for the demolition of abandoned buildings and the clearing of land at Avenue Victoria with the bid closing deed set for 12 February 2026 and the three bids were received. The bid evaluation exercise is currently in progress and the contract is expected to be awarded by the end of this month with demolition and clearance works scheduled to be completed by 13 May 2026.

Okay. Yes, very short and sweet.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have got only one supplementary. Will the hon. Minister state the facilities that will be provided in the new Belle-Rose market? Thank you.

Madam Speaker, the project will provide market stalls, washroom facilities and space for bus holding area and a large parking space for avoiding traffic jams.

Thank you.

Okay. Now, time is up. I have to also tell you that several PQs, of course, have been withdrawn: B/57, B/58, B/59, B/60, B/62, B/63, B/66, B/68, B/69, B70, B/71, B/73, B/74. Thank you. Hon. Prime Minister, motion.
