2.11 Deputy S. Pitman of St. Helier of the Minister for Education, Sport and Culture regarding CCTV cameras at Springfield Stadium:
Following his response to my question on 17th May, would the Minister advise whether the C.C.T.V. (close circuit television) cameras at Springfield Stadium are now in operation and, if so, when are they switched on and for how long?
Deputy J.G. Reed of St. Ouen (The Minister for Education, Spot and Culture):
There are 6 C.C.T.V. cameras monitoring the external areas of Springfield, all are operational and are permanently on 24 hours per day.
The Deputy Bailiff :
Do you have a supplementary?
- Deputy S. Pitman:
I am afraid, I believe that answer to be untrue because when I recently went to the Stadium and had a look around the cameras were off.
The Deputy Bailiff :
You mean incorrect?
Deputy S. Pitman:
Sorry?
The Deputy Bailiff :
"Incorrect" rather than "untrue" would be better, I think. Deputy S. Pitman:
Yes, Sir. Could the Minister comment on that and could he also comment, regarding the recent vandalism incident, whether or not the cameras were on at that time?
The Deputy of St. Ouen :
First of all, I must report that the information I have been given is from my officers and I have no reason to doubt that the information that I have been given and provided to this Assembly is absolutely true and correct. With regard to the time when the seats were vandalised in the grandstand at Springfield Stadium, all cameras were in operation.
- Deputy S. Pitman:
Would the Minister then inform Members just how long the cameras are on for; are they on 24/7, 24 hours a day?
[10:45]
The Deputy of St. Ouen :
Yes. The cameras are on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Deputy Bailiff :
All right, no further questions? Then we will go on to question 13, which Deputy Lewis will ask of the Minister for Home Affairs.
