民政事務局正協調相關部門，參考法改會報告書、審計署報告書和帳委會報告書的建議，探討可行的行政措施，以提高慈善籌款活動的透明度，保障捐款人的權益，當中包括探討公開獲發牌照或許可證的慈善籌款活動的相關財務資料，保障公眾知情權；研究推出一站式服務，方便慈善機構申請舉辦籌款活動；優化 1823熱線和"香港政府一站通"慈善籌款網站，讓市民更容易查詢有關資料或作出投訴等。
The Home Affairs Bureau is coordinating with relevant departments to explore feasible administrative measures by making reference to the recommendations in the LRC Report the Audit Report and the PAC Report with a view to enhancing the transparency of charitable fund - raising activities and safeguarding the rights and interests of donors . Among others administrative measures under consideration include disclosing financial information on fund - raising activities granted with a licence or a permit to protect the publics right to know examining the introduction of a one - stop service to facilitate applications from charities for the organization of fund - raising activities and enhancing the 1823 hotline and the charitable fund - raising activities web page on the GovHK portal to facilitate the public to access the relevant information or lodge complaints
至於審計署報告書和帳委會報告書就個別部門監察籌款活動的建議，有關部門已經落實部分建議，並正積極跟進其他建議。
As for the recommendations in the Audit Report and in the PAC Report on the monitoring of fund - raising activities by individual departments relevant departments have implemented some of the recommendations and are proactively following up the rest
具體進展已在覆文中作詳細交代。
The specific progress has been detailed in the Government Minute
主席，我一再感謝帳委會主席及各委員所作的努力和指導。
President I would like to thank the Chairman and all members of PAC again for their efforts and guidance
各相關部門會嚴格按照覆文所述的回應，盡快落實改善措施，確保公帑運用得宜，並符合原有的政策目標。
Relevant departments will strictly follow their responses in the Government Minute to make improvements so as to ensure value for money in the use of public funds and achieve the original policy objectives
現在我扼要回應帳委會的兩項主要關注。
Today I would like to briefly address the two major concerns of PAC
法律改革委員會於2013年發表有關慈善機構的報告書，就提高慈善機構的透明度和問責程度，提出了一系列建議，其中包括監察慈善籌款活動的建議。
The Law Reform Commission LRC published in 2013 its Report on Charities in which a series of recommendations were made to enhance the transparency and accountability of charities including those on the monitoring of charitable fund - raising activities
主席，我今天提交政府覆文，回應《申訴專員年報2017》所載的建議。
President laid on the table today is the Government Minute responding to the recommendations contained in the Annual Report of The Ombudsman 2017
申訴專員透過展開主動調查，從較宏觀的角度審視了多項廣受市民關注的政策，充分體現出公署監察公共行政的職能。
Through initiating direct investigations The Ombudsman examined policies of extensive public concern from a more macroscopic perspective thereby fully realizing the Offices role as a watchdog of public administration
以一項有關公眾泳池和泳灘救生員人手的主動調查為例子，申訴專員從替補安排、入職培訓、人手需求等多方面探討問題，向康樂及文化事務署提出多達12項建議。
For example in a direct investigation concerning the manpower at public swimming pools and beaches The Ombudsman has probed into the problem from different aspects such as substitution arrangement induction training demand for manpower and made so many as 12 recommendations to the Leisure and Cultural Services Department
我樂見公署的調查工作確實如申訴專員在《年報》中所述，是促成變革的催化劑。
I am pleased to see that the Offices investigative effort is indeed as The Ombudsman has said in the Annual Report a catalyst for change
《年報》所載的個案，有不少涉及多個政府部門的公共服務範疇。
A number of cases contained in the Annual Report are related to areas of public service of various government departments
這是本屆政府第一份回應《申訴專員年報》的政府覆文。
This is the first Government Minute of the current - term Government in response to the Annual Report of The Ombudsman
部門必須主動溝通，加強跨部門的協調工作，以回應個別投訴人的關注，為一些長年累月影響民生的問題尋求長遠的解決方法。
Departments must proactively initiate communication and strengthen inter - departmental coordination so as to respond to individual complainants concern and look for long - term solutions for problems affecting peoples livelihood over the years
我注意到申訴專員在《年報》中表達對政府仍有待就資訊自由及政府檔案進行立法工作的關注。
I notice The Ombudsman has expressed her concern in the Annual Report that the Government has yet to enact legislation on access to information and archives law
法律改革委員會於2013年成立小組委員會研究檔案法。
The Law Reform Commission LRC formed a sub - committee in 2013 to study archives law
當法改會經廣泛諮詢提交報告後，政府會積極跟進。
The Government will proactively follow up after the submission of report by LRC upon extensive consultation
事實上，因應申訴專員於2014年3月發表有關香港公共檔案管理的主動調查報告，政府在過去數年已根據報告的建議採取一系列措施，從多方面入手，進一步改善現行的檔案管理制度，包括就各個範疇制訂相關特定指引、檢討政策局及部門的檔案管理作業方法、加強檔案管理工作的透明度、收緊部門延遲移交歷史檔案的安排、檢討公眾取閱歷史檔案的機制、增加檔案處人手及加強專業發展計劃，以及增進與公營機構聯繫交流等。
In fact in response to the Direct Investigation Report on Public Records Management in Hong Kong issued by The Ombudsman in March 2014 the Government has taken a series of actions in the past few years to further improve the various aspects of the existing records management regime pursuant to the recommendations set out in that Report including providing specific guidelines on various aspects reviewing the records management practices of bureaux and departments enhancing transparency of records management work tightening the arrangement for departments deferral of transfer of records to the Government Records Service reviewing the system for public access to archival records enhancing manpower and professional development programme of the Government Records Service and promoting reaching out to public organizations
在公開資料方面，市民對政府開放透明的期望與日俱增，向政府部門提出索取資料的要求數量亦不斷上升。
Regarding access to information as members of the public have higher expectation of an open and transparent Government there is an increasing number of requests made to government departments for access to information
事實上，在2017年4月至6月這一季度，部門接獲的要求更增加至接近1,500宗。
In fact the number of requests received by departments even increased to almost 1 500 in the quarter between April and June 2017
其中72宗有關政府部門涉嫌違反《守則》的投訴，公署認為有16宗涉及無理拒絕向市民提供所索取的資料，或誤用了《守則》容許的拒絕理由。
Amongst the 72 complaints against the alleged non - compliance with the Code by government departments 16 were considered by the Office as involving unjustifiable refusal of providing the requested information to the public or citing inappropriate reasons allowed by the Code for refusal to provide information
政府會跟進申訴專員的建議，積極改善《守則》的運作，包括加強培訓，提升公職人員對《守則》的認識。
The Government will follow up on The Ombudsmans recommendations to proactively improve the operation of the Code including strengthening training to enhance public officers knowledge of the Code
主席，申訴專員在《年報》中，表示對政府承諾制定道歉法例感到高興。
President The Ombudsman stated in the Annual Report that she was pleased to note that the Government agreed to introduce an apology bill
《道歉條例》已於上個立法年度獲立法會三讀通過，並於2017年12月1日生效。
The Apology Ordinance was passed by the Legislative Council in last legislative session and came into effect on 1 December 2017
政府覆文就申訴專員有提出建議的11宗主動調查及95宗全面調查個案作出回應。
The Government Minute responds to the 11 direct investigation and 95 full investigation cases in which recommendations were made by The Ombudsman
其立法目的在於提倡和鼓勵爭議各方按意願適時作出道歉，以期促進和睦排解爭端。
The legislative objective of the Ordinance is to promote and encourage the making of timely apologies by the parties in dispute with a view to facilitating an amicable settlement
我相信《道歉條例》的立法能夠鼓勵政府部門及公營機構，更主動與市民就各種爭議進行溝通及達成和解。
I trust the enactment of the Apology Ordinance can encourage government departments and public organizations to be more proactive in communicating with members of the public for reaching settlements on disputes
政府亦歡迎公署持續推廣以調解的方式排解糾紛。
The Government also welcomes the Offices continuous promotion of resolving disputes by mediation
各政府部門亦一定會全力配合公署在這方面的工作。
Various government departments will definitely fully support the work of the Office in this regard
主席，公署於2016-2017年度就200多宗投訴進行全面調查，其中超過六成個案結論為不成立，我相信公署能在過程中見證各部門公務員同事盡心竭力的付出。
President the Office conducted full investigations on more than 200 complaints in 2106 - 2017 and over 60 % of them were found unsubstantiated . I trust the Office has in the course of investigation witnessed the dedicated service of civil servants
縱使大部分個案不成立，公署不偏不倚的查證工作，為市民提供了有效的申訴渠道，能夠增加市民對公共行政的信心。
Although most of the cases were found unsubstantiated the unbiased investigation of the Office provides members of the public with an effective complaint channel and increases peoples confidence in public administration
我會鼓勵同事在回應申訴專員的建議時，除了從"服務提供者"和"監管者"的角度確保公共政策和措施能有效實施之外，要進一步代入"促成者"的角色，主動提升香港的公共行政質素，配合行政長官積極有為的施政風格。
I will encourage my fellow colleagues that they should in responding to the recommendations of The Ombudsman apart from ensuring effective implementation of public policies and measures from the perspective of being a service provider and a regulator play the role as a facilitator by taking the initiative to enhance the quality of public administration of Hong Kong so as to tally with the Chief Executives governing style of being proactive
就個別未能採納的建議，部門亦已向申訴專員交代，並於政府覆文內詳細解釋其困難或回應。
As for individual recommendations that were not accepted the relevant departments have given an account to The Ombudsman and explained their difficulties and responses in detail in the Government Minute
主席，公署於2016-2017年度處理了近5,000宗投訴個案，不論公署透過查訊、全面調查或調解的方式跟進個案，政府部門和公營機構都全力配合、認真處理。
President the Office handled nearly 5 000 complaints in 2016 - 2017 . No matter the Office followed up the cases by means of inquiry full investigation or mediation government departments and public bodies handled every investigation of the Office in a cooperative and earnest manner
因此，我在此呼籲各位議員，評論事件時應該更加全面及客觀。
I therefore call upon all Members to comment on issues more comprehensively and objectively
白專員已經一再指出，硬將這次事件與行政長官與UGL簽訂離職協議扯上關係是毫無事實根據；而利用此事讓立法會介入及干預廉署內部的人事管理事宜，將會嚴重打擊廉署的獨立運作。
Simon PEH has repeatedly said that it is entirely groundless to associate this incident with the termination agreement signed between the Chief Executive and UGL . If this incident is exploited to allow the Legislative Councils involvement and intervention in the internal personnel matters of ICAC the independent operation of ICAC would be seriously undermined
我想藉此機會重申，特區政府必定會竭盡所能，維護社會廉潔這個香港核心價值，而廉署亦會一如以往不偏不倚地跟進所有貪污舉報。
I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate that the SAR Government will make all - out efforts to uphold the probity of Hong Kong which is our core value and ICAC will fairly and impartially follow up all reports of corruption as it did in the past
作為政務司司長，我恪守上述的規定。
As the Chief Secretary I have abided by the above provisions
在我4年多的任內，從沒有參與廉政專員與行政長官的定期會面；亦沒有在公事上或私下與廉政專員會面；當然亦沒有參與及過問廉署所有運作，包括它的調查工作。
For more than four years within my term of office I have never participated in the regular meetings between the Commissioner and the Chief Executive nor have I met with the Commissioner for official business or in private; I certainly have not been involved or intervened in all operations of ICAC including its investigations
《防止賄賂條例》第302條規定，在一些特定情況下，披露受調查人的身份或調查細節不屬違法，例如：受調查人已經被逮捕，或已經被發逮捕令；受調查人的住所已經被搜查；又或受調查人已被要求按法律規定，向廉政專員交出旅遊證件等。
Under Section 302 of the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance under certain circumstances disclosure of the identity of the subject person or the details of investigation is not unlawful; for example the subject person has been arrested or a warrant has been issued for the arrest of the subject person; the residence of the subject person has been searched; or the subject person has been required to surrender any travel document etc
在有關被調查人被落案檢控前，除非涉及重大公眾利益，廉署不會披露或確認被調查人的身份。
Before charges have been brought against the subject person unless material public interests are involved ICAC will not disclose or confirm the identity of the subject person
不過在說明之前，我必須先回應葉建源議員的說法，他好像是評論我在本議會的議事態度。
But before making further elaboration I must first respond to Mr IP Kin - yuens remarks; he seems to comment on my attitude of deliberation in this Council
這個情況就一如我就司法機構的事宜在立法會發言。
A similar practice is that I will speak on behalf of the Government in the Legislative Council on matters relating to the Judiciary
大家都知道，我有同事支援我在立法會的工作。
As Members are aware some colleagues have provided support to my work in the Legislative Council
經查證後，我確認沒有人曾通知政務司司長，或者透過政務司司長辦公室通知我有關UGL事件的調查。
I confirm after verification that no one has informed the Chief Secretary or notified me through the Chief Secretarys Office of the investigation on the UGL incident
因此，簡單地回應數位有興趣知道的議員，我是"不知悉、亦沒有被知會"。
Therefore to respond briefly to interested Members I do not know and have not been informed
"我請在座各位議員，一會兒小心聆聽林議員的發言。
I urge all Members present to listen carefully to the speech delivered by Mr LAM in a moment
我對於葉議員這種說法是非常有意見的。
I have strong views on such a remark
特區政府反對林卓廷議員根據《立法會條例》動議成立專責委員會，調查廉政專員取消李女士署任執行處首長職位事宜，與有沒有調查是無關的，因為專員已經作出詳細解釋，表明這是一項人事管理問題，是專員個人的決定，與廉署的調查工作無關。
The SAR Governments objection against Mr LAM Cheuk - tings proposal to appoint a select committee under the Legislative Council Ordinance to inquire into Commissioners cancellation of the acting appointment of Ms Rebecca LI as Head of Operations has nothing to do with an investigation being conducted or not . The Commissioner had explained in detail that this was a personnel management issue and a personal decision of the Commissioner which had nothing to do with ICACs investigations
我當時說，如果部分議員意猶未盡，可以直接再提出討論。
As I said at that time if some Members were still dissatisfied they could directly propose further discussion
"近年香港的廉潔指數在個別評級機構的排名有下跌的情況。此事有數位非建制派議員都有 提及，究其原因，主要是我們在觀感指數方面得分較低。
In recent years the ranking of Hong Kongs corruption index has fallen in a number of rating agencies as mentioned by a few non - establishment Members . This is mainly because we have lower ratings in terms of perception
由此可見，基於觀感的排名並不能說明香港的實際廉潔情況。
Evidently perception - based rankings cannot illustrate Hong Kongs actual probity situation
有些社會人士表示，擔心廉署的調查工作會受到干預。
Some members of the community have expressed concern about intervention in ICACs investigation work
在委員會嚴密的監察下，廉署的調查工作不可能受到任何人士干預。
Under the close monitoring of the Operations Review Committee intervention in the investigations of ICAC will not be possible
白專員履行其廉政專員的職責，獨立作出這個決定。
Simon PEH had discharged the duties of ICAC Commissioner and made the decision independently
此外，亦有議員表示，有廉署人員認為李女士工作表現出色，不應該被終止署任，甚至有人員因為不滿這個決定而離職，議員因而認為廉政專員的決定不合常理。
However according to some Members some ICAC officers opined that Ms LIs acting appointment should not be cancelled owing to her outstanding performance; some officers even resigned because they were dissatisfied with the decision thus the Member considered that the Commissioners decision was unreasonable
作為李女士的上司，白專員對李女士的工作表現及其升任更高職位的潛質作出獨立全面的評核，是職責所在。
As Ms LIs boss Simon PEH had the responsibility to make an independent and comprehensive assessment of Ms LIs performance and potential for taking up higher positions
我代表政府已經多次在立法會解釋，由於將《防止賄賂條例》第3條及第8條擴大至適用於行政長官，涉及《基本法》關於香港特別行政區政治體制的規定，亦涉及與《基本法》有關行政長官在香港特別行政區的憲制地位，因此要審慎研究，通盤考慮相關憲制，以及法律規定及運作問題。
I have repeatedly explained on behalf of the Government in the Legislative Council that as the extension of sections 3 and 8 of the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance to the Chief Executive involves the provisions of the Basic Law on the political system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as well as the provisions of the Basic Law on the constitutional status of the Chief Executive in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region the issue must be examined carefully and a holistic consideration be made on the relevant constitutional legal and operational issues
回顧過去4年，雖然政府在個別議題上遇到"拉布"，但整體而言，本屆政府在立法會的工作亦取得不少成果。
Looking back on the past four years although the Government encountered filibusters in certain subjects the current - term Government has overall made various achievements in its work at the Legislative Council
在未來的4個半月，我們會爭分奪秒，積極推展立法議程，令規管各政策範疇的法律更臻完善。
In the coming four and a half months we will seize every single second and minute to actively implement the legislative programme with a view to further enhancing the laws on various policy areas
至目前為止，我們以先審議後訂立的程序通過的附屬法例一共有55項，而以先訂立後審議的程序通過的附屬法例則有600項。
So far 55 pieces of subsidiary legislation in total were passed by positive vetting procedure while 600 pieces of subsidiary legislation were passed by negative vetting procedure
首先，我要強調特區政府會堅決及致力維護香港的核心價值，包括法治、人權、廉潔、自由及司法獨立。
First of all I have to emphasize that the Special Administrative Region SAR Government is determined and committed to safeguarding the core values of Hong Kong including the rule of law human rights integrity freedom and judicial independence
所以，只要大家以市民的福祉為依歸，實事求是，良性互動的行政立法關係一定有很大的發展空間。
Hence it is certain that there will be plenty of room for development in establishing a constructive and interactive relationship between the executive and the legislature as long as Members make the well - being of the public the overriding consideration and adopt a pragmatic approach
在財政撥款方面，立法會財務委員會一共通過了261個由本屆政府提交的項目，撥款總額超過5,000億元，當中204個為工程計劃。
With regard to allocation of funding the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council has approved a total of 261 proposals submitted by the current - term Government 204 of which are works projects and the total funding amounted to over 500 billion
在未來4個半月，政府尚有很多撥款建議及工程計劃要提交財委會及相關小組委員會審議。
In the coming four and a half months the Government still has to submit many funding proposals and works projects to the Finance Committee and the relevant subcommittees for scrutiny
正如行政長官在施政報告指出剛才律政司司長亦有提及法治是香港成功的基石，多年來獲得國際社會稱許，需要大家合力維護。
As pointed out by the Chief Executive in the Policy Address―which is also mentioned by the Secretary for Justice just now―the rule of law is the cornerstone of Hong Kongs success which has been acclaimed by the international community over the years and we should make a concerted effort to safeguard the rule of law
事實上，香港能夠成為國際金融貿易中心，奉行法治及擁有穩健的法律制度是其中的關鍵因素。
In fact upholding the rule of law and maintaining a sound legal system are some of the crucial factors which have enabled Hong Kong to become an international financial and trade centre
特區政府堅信並堅守司法獨立的原則。
The SAR Government firmly believes in and upholds the principle of judicial independence
為確保司法機構有效運作，政府一直以來致力為司法機構提供足夠資源，以便其履行《基本法》下的憲制職能。
To ensure the effective operation of the Judiciary the Government has all along striven to provide sufficient resources to the Judiciary so that it can perform the constitutional functions stipulated in the Basic Law
我們非常關注司法機構在招聘高等法院原訟法庭法官所面對的困難。
We are keenly concerned about the difficulties encountered by the Judiciary in recruiting Judges of the Court of First Instance of the High Court
此外，司法機構正就法官及司法人員的法定退休年齡進行檢討，待收到司法機構的檢討報告後，我們會積極和盡快考慮其建議。
Besides the Judiciary is conducting a review of the statutory retirement age for judges and judicial officers . Once the review report prepared by the Judiciary is received the Government will actively consider its recommendations expeditiously
特區政府同時積極回應司法機構對於法庭及辦公室配套設施的需求。
Meanwhile the SAR Government has actively responded to the needs of the Judiciary for the provision of courts and office ancillary facilities
我要指出，政府高度重視行政立法的關係，而行政立法關係是互動的，並建基於相互尊重。
I have to point out that the Government attaches great importance to the relationship between the executive and the legislature which is interactive and based on mutual respect
各問責官員在過去3天的辯論已經重點解說政府多年及來年的施政重點，亦回顧了本屆政府在各項工作範疇的施政成果。
In the debate over the past three days various accountability officials have explained and highlighted the priority of the Government over the years and that of the coming year . They have also reviewed the achievements of the current - term Government in various policy areas
值得留意的是，今年的施政報告共有182項新措施，涵蓋範圍既廣且深，創下本屆政府上任以來的紀錄。
It is noteworthy that the Policy Address this year has introduced 182 new measures in total which cover a deep and extensive scope and set a new record since the inauguration of the current - term Government
雖然現屆政府的任期只餘下4個半月，但我們絕對沒有半點看守政府或得過且過的心態。
Although there are only four and a half months left of the term of the current - term Government it is absolutely certain that we will not adopt the mentality of a caretaker government or muddle along
行政機關和立法機關在《基本法》下各有其職能，但目標一致，便是要做好管治、確保香港的繁榮穩定和市民安居樂業。
Although the executive authorities and the legislature have their respective functions and powers under the Basic Law they share a common goal which is executing good governance ensuring prosperity and stability in Hong Kong and helping the people to live in peace and work with contentment
政府團隊會繼續緊守崗位，確保政府運作暢順，不會因為換屆而受影響，亦會做好新舊兩屆政府的交接工作。
The Government as a team will remain steadfast in our duties and ensure the smooth operation of the Government so that it will not be affected by the change of Government and we will also ensure a smooth transition between the current - term and next - term Governments
作為政務司司長，我亦會繼續透過不同渠道，致力與立法會溝通協作，加強與議員之間的良性互動，進一步建立具建設性和有效的工作關係。
As the Chief Secretary for Administration I will continue to strive to communicate and collaborate with the Legislative Council through different channels enhance the positive interaction between the Government and Members and further establish a constructive and effective working relationship
正如我剛才所提及，我們餘下需要立法會批准的項目與民生息息相關，但時間非常緊絀，在座各位必須正視這個問題。
As I have mentioned earlier the remaining proposals from the Government which require approval of the Legislative Council are closely related to peoples livelihood but time is really tight . All Members present here must face up to this problem
我希望大家能夠和衷共濟，求同存異，為大局着想。
I hope Members can pull together seek common ground while reserving differences and take the overall situation into consideration
主席，我深信議事堂內所有人都是熱心服務社會、致力建設香港的有心人。
President I trust that all of us in the Chamber are people with aspirations who are keen to serve our society and strive to work for the development of Hong Kong
立法會是一個議事堂，在香港這個多元化的城市，立法會無可避免會面對一些富爭議性的議題。
The Legislative Council is a place for discussions about affairs public . In a pluralistic city like Hong Kong it is inevitable that we have to address some controversial issues in the Legislative Council
兩人均為地位崇高、聲譽卓著的法官，其任命將會對終審法院有巨大貢獻。
They are Judges of eminent standing and reputation and their appointments will be a great asset to CFA
行政長官樂意接納推薦委員會的推薦，任命兩位法官為終審法院非常任普通法法官。
The Chief Executive is pleased to accept the recommendations of JORC on the appointments of the two judges as CLNPJs of CFA
如果獲得立法會同意，兩位非常任普通法法官的任命將由2017年5月生效，任期3年。
Subject to the endorsement of the Legislative Council the appointments of the two CLNPJs shall take effect in May 2017 for a term of three years
終審法院是香港聆訊民事和刑事上訴案件的最終上訴法院。
CFA is the final appellate court in Hong Kong hearing both civil and criminal appeals
根據《基本法》第八十八條和《司法人員推薦委員會條例》第6a條，推薦委員會向行政長官推薦，任命范禮全先生及韋彥德勳爵為終審法院非常任普通法法官。
Pursuant to Article 88 of the Basic Law and section 6a of JORCO JORC has recommended the appointments of Mr Robert FRENCH and Lord REED as CLNPJs of CFA
經諮詢法律界後所擬備的實務指示擬稿已獲得法律界普遍支持，司法機構現正籌備在本年年中推行有關實務指示。
A draft Practice Direction has been prepared in consultation with the legal sector which has expressed general support . The Judiciary is now preparing for the implementation of the Practice Direction in the middle of this year
我們會繼續以正面態度積極回應司法機構的資源需求，確保司法機構有效運作，而政府亦會堅定不移地捍衞司法獨立，維護和尊重法治精神。
We will continue to proactively respond to the resource requirements of the Judiciary in a positive manner to ensure the effective operation of the Judiciary . The Government will also resolutely defend judicial independence and safeguard and respect the rule of law
第一，正如梁美芬議員所說，《基本法》第八十二條清楚訂明，終審法院可根據需要邀請其他普通法適用地區的法官參加審判。
First of all as mentioned by Dr Priscilla LEUNG Article 82 of the Basic Law clearly stipulates that the Court of Final Appeal CFA may as required invite Judges from other common law jurisdictions to sit on CFA
請議員同意有關任命。
I urge Members to support the relevant appointment
這是大家要知道的第一點，《基本法》已清楚訂明此事，即是已有一個法律框架。
This is the first point that we should know . There are clear stipulations in the Basic Law on this which means that a legal framework is already in place
第二，所有非常任普通法法官均具備豐富的司法經驗，享有崇高的專業地位和聲譽，並非一般普通法官。
Secondly all non - permanent Judges from other common law jurisdictions have profound judicial experience and enjoy a high professional status and reputation who are different from ordinary Judges
在我們這次建議任命的兩位資深法官當中，范禮全先生在退休前是澳洲高等法院的首席法官；另一位韋彥德勳爵現時是英國最高法院的法官，這兩位是地位相當崇高的法官。
For the two senior Judges being considered for the proposed appointment the Honourable Chief Justice Robert FRENCH AC was the Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia before retirement while the other candidate the Right Honourable Lord REED Lord REED is currently a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom . They are Judges who enjoy a highly prestigious status
