Mr Jhummun!
Thank you, Madam Speaker. I think the hon. Prime Minister has already answered that question.
Okay.
But I want to put my supplementary. May I?
Yes, but related!
So, in order to ensure a better supply of oil…

No, he has…

Let me…

May I? I am the one who is going to decide!

He just…

We are wasting time! B/6 and now you put your supplementary because you said… he has already replied! He has already replied. So, please put your supplementary. And do not do my job!
(Interruptions)
Chut!
Okay, so in order to ensure a better supply of oil and petroleum products, can we envisage to come again with our own tanker, special ships bearing Mauritian flags, as we had in previous days like Betamax, which was terminated by the previous Government?
Okay.
Very good question! In fact, I am told, again, just like Mangalore, the Betamax company is not interested. They are actually serving Singapore and the far East and their tankers are completely booked. This is our loss because of the irresponsible actions they took; there we are.
Okay, Mr François.

You do not … Chut! Mr François had a question. He has no supplementary. Mr Juman? Yes? For B/34. STC – GAS OIL, MOGAS, JET FUEL & LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM – SUPPLY DISRUPTION ASSESSMENT – MEASURES
