關於這項質詢的主題，即政府的閒置用地或閒置校舍，我其實一直都有跟進。
Actually I have been following up the subject of the main question that is the Governments vacant land and VSPs for some time
我想問局長，有否汲取過去經驗，以改善現時的出租流程，令這些資源得到善用，例如簡化程序、主動接觸有需要的民間團體，將這些前校舍整幢出租，或承擔校舍的相關維修費用，令有意申請的團體無需承擔過高的維修費？
I would like to ask the Secretary whether any lessons have been learnt from past experience to improve the existing leasing process so that the use of such resources can be optimized? . For example has consideration been given to streamlining the application procedures proactively approaching NGOs with the need so that the entire ex - school premises may be let out or the Government paying for the repair and maintenance of ex - school premises so that NGOs which want to apply for the use of these sites need not bear excessive maintenance costs?

代理主席，多謝陸頌雄議員提出"盡快全面檢討政府的服務外判制度"這項議案，以及5位議員提出修正案。
Deputy President I would like to thank Mr LUK Chung - hung for proposing this motion on Expeditiously conducting a comprehensive review of the Governments service outsourcing system and the five Honourable Members for proposing the amendments
如果部門決定把服務外判，則須按照政府的採購程序，以清楚明確、公開和公平競爭的方式，採購有關服務。
Should departments decide to outsource any service the relevant service should be procured in a clear and specific open and fair competitive manner in accordance with the Governments procurement procedure
財經事務及庫務局和勞工處一直緊密合作，並引入了一系列加強管理政府服務合約承辦商的措施，以保障有關員工的法定權益。
The Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau and the Labour Department LD have all along been working closely and have introduced a series of measures to strengthen the management of government service contractors to protect the lawful interest of the relevant employees
首先，政府在《標準條款及條件》中，加入了承辦商須符合與僱員權益相關法例要求的規定。
Firstly in the Standard Terms and Conditions the Government has included a provision requiring contractors to comply with the requirements prescribed by the laws on employees rights and benefits
在此情況下，凡違反有關法例的承辦商，會被視為違反合約要求而有機會被懲處。
Under such circumstances contractors in breach of the relevant laws will be deemed to have violated contractual requirements and are liable to sanctions
在"禁止投標機制"下，如果承辦商在 截標前的5年違反了與勞工權益有關的指定條例，例如《僱傭條例》及《僱員補償條例》的指定罪行，不論有關的定罪是否與政府服務合約有關，在定罪日期起計5年內，該承辦商的投標建議將不獲政府考慮。
Under the barring from tender mechanism should a contractor contravene a specified ordinance related to labour rights and benefits such as committing the specified offences under the Employment Ordinance and the Employees Compensation Ordinance in the five - year period commencing from the conviction date his tender submission will not be considered by the Government regardless of whether the relevant conviction is related to a government service contract
在"扣分制"下，如果承辦商沒有與其員工簽訂由勞工處制訂的標準僱傭合約，或沒有履行標準僱傭合約內有關工資、工時，以及以自動轉帳方式支付工資的責任，將會被扣分。
Under the demerit point system should a contractor fail to sign a standard employment contract devised by LD with his employee or fulfil his responsibility stipulated in the standard employment contract in relation to wages working hours and the payment of wages through autopay he will be given demerit points
就此，各採購部門已採取不同的措施，監察服務承辦商在這方面的表現，並配合勞工處的執法和巡查行動。
In this connection all procurement departments have adopted various measures to monitor the performance of service contractors in this regard and cope with the law enforcement and inspection actions taken by LD
如果承辦商違反有關法例或沒有履行合約條款的責任，採購部門會按合約採取相應的規管行動或懲處。
Should a contractor violate the relevant legislation or fail to fulfil the responsibility stipulated in contract terms the procurement department will take regulatory action accordingly or impose sanctions
視乎情況，有關承辦商可能會被終止合約。
Depending on the circumstances the relevant contractor might have his contract terminated
接着，我會談談有關非技術員工的待遇。
Next I will say a few words about the treatment of non - skilled employees
首先，關於外判制度方面，陸頌雄議員的議案環繞政府的外判服務，提出應縮窄外判服務的範疇和規模，郭家麒議員的修正案更提出全面取消外判制度。
Before all else insofar as the outsourcing system is concerned Mr LUK Chung - hungs motion revolves around the Governments outsourced services by proposing that the scope and scale of these services should be narrowed whereas Dr KWOK Ka - ki has even proposed in his amendment the complete abolition of the outsourcing system
根據該指引，部門採用評分制度評審投標書時，一般須預設在技術評審方面加入有關非技術員工的建議工資和工時的評審準則。
According to the guidelines in conducting tender assessment according to marking schemes departments are generally speaking required to pre - set assessment criteria including the proposed wages and working hours for non - skilled employees in the technical assessment
在這個安排下，如果其他評審準則維持不變，願意向非技術員工支付較高工資或建議員工工作較短時間的投標者，他們在技術方面的得分會較高，成功獲批的機會也更大。
Under this arrangement tenderers who are prepared to pay higher wages or propose shorter working hours for employees will receive higher scores in the technical aspect assuming that other assessment criteria remain unchanged and stand higher chances of being successfully awarded contracts
代理主席，剛才我就政府的外判服務及有關管理服務承辦商的措施作初步回應。
Deputy President just now I have made a preliminary response to the measures adopted by the Government in relation to outsourced services and the management of service contractors
稍後勞福局局長會講述勞工處在保障外判員工權益方面的工作，以及標準僱傭合約的事宜。
Later on in the meeting the Secretary for Labour and Welfare will give an account of the work of LD in protecting the rights and benefits of outsourced employees as well as matters related to the standard employment contract
首先我們必須澄清，外判只是提供公共服務的其中一種方式。
First of all we must clarify that outsourcing is just one of the ways adopted by the Government to deliver public services
部門有權決定應以聘用公務員、非公務員合約僱員或外判等其他方式提供公共服務。
Departments have the authority to decide whether civil servants non - civil service contract staff should be employed or other ways such as outsourcing should be adopted in the delivery of public services
由於涉及公共資源的運用，無論是以哪種方式提供服務，部門也應按善用公帑的原則，確保公帑用得其所。
Since the use of public resources is involved departments should ensure public money is put to good use according to the principle of making effective use of public funds regardless of what approach is adopted for the delivery of services
政府一向有委聘私營機構參與提供公共服務。
The Government has all along commissioned private organizations to participate in the delivery of public services
陸頌雄議員提出政府應減少外判服務，改以公務員合約條款僱用員工擔任有長期服務需要的崗位，而梁耀忠議員提出優先聘請受僱於政府服務承辦商的員工。
Mr LUK Chung - hung has proposed that the Government should reduce service outsourcing and change to recruiting employees on civil service agreement terms to fill positions with long - term service needs . And Mr LEUNG Yiu - chung has proposed to accord priority in employment to employees of contractors of government services
至於莫乃光議員有關資訊科技外判服務方面的修正案，政府資訊科技總監辦公室現時要求部門因應其工作的性質和需要，當他們需要增加資訊科技人員時，會考慮由公務員、非公務員合約僱員或資科辦中央統籌的定期合約員工出任這些職位。b 採購服務的評審準則 何俊賢議員、梁耀忠議員及郭家麒議員的修正案均提到，政府應改變以"價低者得"的原則批出服務合約。
As regards Mr Charles Peter MOKs amendment in relation to outsourcing of information technology services the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer OGCIO currently requests departments to make consideration based on their job nature and needs
代理主席，以下是我局經諮詢政制及內地事務局的回應。
Deputy President the following is the response of my Bureau in consultation with the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau
《基本法》是香港特別行政區的憲制性文件，亦是國家的全國性法律。
The Basic Law is the constitutional document of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR and also a national law of the Country
關於"一國兩制"實施的問題，國家主席習近平在2015年會見上京述職的行政長官時強調："中央貫徹'一國兩制'方針堅持兩點。一是堅定不移，不會變、不動搖。二是全面準確，確保'一國兩制'在香港的實踐不走樣、不變形，始終沿着正確方向前進。
Regarding the implementation of one country two systems when meeting the Chief Executive on his reporting visit to Beijing in 2015 President XI Jinping stressed that The Central Government will unswervingly implement the policy of one country two systems and make sure that it is fully applied in Hong Kong without being bent or distorted
"國務院總理李克強 在今年3月政府工作報告中亦指出，"要繼續全面準確貫徹'一國兩制'、'港人治港'、'高度自治'的方針，嚴格依照憲法和《基本法》辦事，確保'一國兩制'在香港實踐不動搖、不走樣、不變形"。
This will enable us to keep advancing in the right direction . When delivering his Report on the Work of the Government in March this year Premier LI Keqiang also pointed out that We will continue to implement both to the letter and in spirit the principle of one country two systems under which the people of Hong Kong govern Hong Kong and enjoy a high degree of autonomy . We will continue to act in strict compliance with Chinas Constitution and the Basic Law; and we will ensure that the principle of one country two systems is steadfastly applied in Hong Kong without being bent or distorted
全國人民代表大會根據《中華人民共和國憲法》制定《基本法》，規定香港特區實行的制度，以保障國家對香港的基本方針政策，即是"一國兩制"、"港人治港"和"高度自治"的實施。
In accordance with the Constitution of the Peoples Republic of China the National Peoples Congress NPC enacted the Basic Law prescribing the systems to be implemented in HKSAR in order to ensure the implementation of the basic policies of the Peoples Republic of China regarding Hong Kong that is one country two systems Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy
人大常務委員會委員長張德江於去年5月在香港亦有明確表述，我在此再次引述張德江委員長的話："首先要堅定對'一國兩制'事業的信心。
Chairman of NPC Standing Committee ZHANG Dejiang also made a clear statement when visiting Hong Kong in May last year . In this regard I would like to quote from Chairman ZHANGs speech as follows First of all we must firmly keep faith in one country two systems
最根本的理由有3條。
There are three fundamental reasons for doing so
第一條，'一國兩制'是我國的一項基本國策，是戰略抉擇而不是權宜之計，不會改變。
Firstly one country two systems is a basic policy of the Country . It is a strategic choice not a contingency measure and therefore will not change
第三條，香港回歸祖國以來的實踐證明，'一國兩制'是做得到、行得通的，是經過實踐檢驗的好制度，沒有必要改變。
Thirdly since Hong Kongs return to the Motherland the implementation of one country two systems has been proven to be practicable and workable . It is a good system that has passed real tests and therefore need not be changed
過去，我們按照'一國兩制'方針，實現了香港的順利回歸，保持了繁榮穩定，促進了祖國內地與香港的共同發展。
In the past years by adhering to the principle of one country two systems we have realized Hong Kongs smooth return to the Motherland maintained the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and promoted joint development of the Mainland and Hong Kong
那些所謂中央要把香港'內地化'、甚至變'一國兩制'為'一國一制'的說法，完全沒有根據。
The opinion that the Central Government will Mainlandize Hong Kong or even turn one country two systems into one country one system is completely groundless
廣大的香港同胞是希望'一國兩制'堅持下去的。
People in Hong Kong would like to see the continuation of one country two systems
'一國兩制'對國家、對香港都最為有利。
Implementation of one country two systems will best serve the interests of both the Country and Hong Kong
中央必定會堅定不移地貫徹下去。香港社會完全可以放心。
The Hong Kong community can completely rest assured that the Central Authorities remain firmly committed to upholding this principle
有市民選擇參與慶祝和紀念回歸的活動，同時亦有市民選擇參與遊行，表達他們對香港經濟、民生等議題的看法。
Some people choose to take part in activities to celebrate and commemorate Hong Kongs reunification while some people choose to take part in the procession to express their views on various matters such as Hong Kongs economic development and peoples livelihood
這正正反映出香港是一個自由多元的社會。
It shows exactly that Hong Kong is a free and diverse society
與此同時，同樣在《基本法》第三章內，第四十二條規定："香港居民和在香港的其他人有遵守香港特別行政區實行的法律的義務。
Meanwhile under the same Chapter III of the Basic Law Article 42 stipulates that Hong Kong residents and other persons in Hong Kong shall have the obligation to abide by the laws in force in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
"所以，權利和義務是並存的。
So peoples rights and duties go hand in hand
張華峰議員的修正案，提到有關促進金融業在粵港澳大灣區城市群中的發展。
Mr Christopher CHEUNGs amendment suggested promoting the development of our financial industries in the city cluster of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area
香港作為大灣區內金融業最發達、與國際聯繫最緊密的地方，可在金融方面擔當樞紐角色。
Being the city with the most developed financial services industry as well as the strongest international connection among the Bay Area cities Hong Kong is well - placed to act as a financial hub
《基本法》於1990年4月4日第七屆人大第三次會議通過，並於1997年7月1日起實施。
The Basic Law was formally adopted at the Third Session of the Seventh NPC on 4 April 1990 and was put into effect on 1 July 1997
今年是香港特區成立20周年，亦即是《基本法》和"一國兩制"實施20周年。
This year marks the 20 anniversary of the establishment of HKSAR as well as the 20 anniversary of implementing the Basic Law and one country two systems
正如我剛才所說，自香港特區成立以來，中央及特區政府一直嚴格按照"一國兩制"、"港人治港"、"高度自治"的基本方針政策，以及《基本法》的規定處理香港事務。
As I said earlier since the establishment of HKSAR both the Central Government and SAR Government have been handling the affairs of Hong Kong in strict accordance with the provisions of the Basic Law as well as the basic policies of one country two systems Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy
尹兆堅議員的原議案指稱"'一國兩制'在香港的實踐已經嚴重動搖、走樣和變形"。
According to Mr Andrew WANs original motion the implementation of one country two systems in Hong Kong has been severely shaken distorted and deformed
法治一直是香港社會的根本核心價值，是香港成功背後的重要原因，亦是維持香港競爭力不可或缺的重要支柱。
The rule of law has always been a fundamental core value of Hong Kong society . It is an important reason behind Hong Kongs success and an important pillar essential for maintaining Hong Kongs competitiveness
廉政公署亦會繼續竭力維護香港的廉潔，以保障這個重要的核心價值。
The Independent Commission Against Corruption will continue to do its utmost to safeguard integrity in Hong Kong with a view to protecting this important core value
我相信，每一名香港人都希望香港可以繼續進步，市民安居樂業。
I believe every Hong Kong citizen hopes that Hong Kong can keep progressing and people can live in peace and work in contentment
因此，希望議員及市民大眾不要將強積金制度看成等同香港退休保障制度，因為它只是其中一部分。
I therefore hope that Members and the general public do not equate the MPF System with Hong Kongs retirement protection system because it is only part of it
強制性公積金制度自2000年實施以來，政府和強制性公積金計劃管理局不時推出優化措施，以提升強積金在本港整體退休保障制度所發揮的成效，以及提高對就業人口的退休保障。
Since the introduction of the Mandatory Provident Fund MPF System in 2000 the Government and the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority MPFA have rolled out improvement measures from time to time to enhance the effectiveness of MPF in the overall retirement protection system in Hong Kong and to strengthen retirement protection for the employed population
例如新加坡的中央公積金制度，供款會撥入3個不同的帳戶，即用於一置業、投保、投資及教育的一般帳戶；二用於退休儲蓄的特別帳戶，以及三用作支付醫療開支的醫療儲蓄計劃帳戶，而分配至3個不同帳戶的供款比例會隨計劃成員的年齡改變。
Take Singapores Central Provident Fund as an example contributions will go to three different accounts that is 1 the Ordinary Account for homeownership insurance investment and education; 2 the Special Account for retirement needs; and 3 the MediSave Account for paying medical bills . Meanwhile the contribution rates prescribed for the three different accounts will change according to an employees age
就35歲或以下的僱員而言，僱主和僱員的總供款率為37%，當中23%存放於用作 置業的戶口，6%存放於作為退休之用的戶口，8%存放於支付醫療開支的戶口。
For an employee aged 35 and below the total rate of contributions from the employer and employee is 37 % of the wages with 23 % going to the account for homeownership 6 % to the account for retirement and 8 % to the account for paying medical bills
b 強積金的表現 首先，從覆蓋率的角度看，相比強積金實施前只有三分之一的就業人口有退休保障，現時在強積金制度連同其他退休保障計劃下已有85%的就業人口獲得不同程度的退休保障。
b Performance of MPF First of all from the angle of coverage nowadays 85 % of the employed population enjoys varying degrees of retirement protection under MPF together with other retirement protection schemes compared with one third of the employed population who had retirement protection before implementation of MPF
從回報的角度看，根據積金局的數字，截至2018年9月30日，強積金供款連同投資回報已增長至8,583億元。
From the angle of return according to MPFAs data MPF contributions together with investment returns had grown to 858.3 billion by September 2018
我們亦必須強調，為退休生活未雨綢繆是一項長遠的儲蓄及投資計劃，並非投機活動。
We must stress that making plans to provide for life after retirement is a long - term savings and investment undertaking not a speculative activity
c 完善強積金制度的措施 面對人口老化，我相信大部分人都認同需要有一個強制性的儲蓄制度，幫助就業人口作長遠退休儲蓄安排，問題是這個安排是否物有所值。
c Measures to improve the MPF System I believe most people faced with an ageing population will agree that we need a mandatory savings system to help the working population to make long - term savings arrangement for retirement and the only consideration is whether this arrangement is value for money
自"預設投資策略"法例於2016年5月通過至2019年1月期間，強積金基金的平均基金開支比率由1.57%降至1.52%，並共有136個強積金基金已下調收費，最大減幅高達54.55%。
In the period from May 2016 when the DIS law was enacted to January 2019 the average fund expense ratio of MPF funds dropped from 1.57 % to 1.52 % and 136 MPF funds in total cut fees with the largest cut being 54.55 %
此外，社會上亦一直有意見指強積金行政工作分散而繁複、紙張為主的交易數量龐大導致行政成本高昂。
In addition there has been an opinion in the community pointing to the scattered and complicated pattern of MPFs administrative work and to the huge amount of transactions based on paper sheets resulting in high administrative fees
此外，採購部門在招標時，會要求投標者就違反有關條例的事項提交資料，填寫其所有的定罪紀錄，又或是填寫沒有定罪紀錄的聲明，作為評審標書的用途。
Moreover in tendering exercises procuring departments will require tenderers to submit information relating to their breaches of relevant ordinances provide all records of convictions or make declaration of no conviction for the purpose of tender assessment
根據勞工處的資料，在2013年至2016年10月期間，政府外判商因為違反《僱傭條例》規定而被定罪的傳票共有兩宗，當中只涉及一名僱主。
According to the information of LD between 2013 and October 2016 there were only two cases of conviction of breaches of requirements of EO and only one employer was involved
政府將不會考慮該僱主被定罪日起計的5年內所提交的任何投標建議。
The Government will not consider any tender proposals submitted by the contractor concerned for a period of five years from the date of conviction
故此，這調整有助鼓勵外判商提高非技術員工在工資和工時方面的待遇。
As such the adjustment can help encourage outsourced contractors to improve the treatment for non - skilled workers in terms of wages and working hours
