主席，香港鐵路有限公司轄下屯馬綫已於上月27日全線通車。
President the Tuen Ma Line TML of the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL was fully commissioned on the 27th of last month
主席，現時由紅磡站到顯徑站的收費是9.6元，然後去遠些的大圍站是6.2元，再去遠些的石門站是7.9元，這種"短貴長平"的情況就連局方都認為有問題。
President at present the fare from Hung Hom Station to Hin Keng Station is 9.6 but 6.2 to the farther Tai Wai Station and 7.9 to the even farther Shek Mun Station and even the Secretary also recognizes this problem of higher fares for shorter journeys
這樣對短途的乘客，其實並不公平。
This is not fair to the passengers of shorter journeys
所以，我們一定要提出這項建議，希望政府聽到市民的呼聲，真正行善政。
Hence we must put forward this proposal in the hope that the Government will hear the peoples aspiration and adopt policies of good government . What does it mean by policies of good government? . The virtue of the ruler is seen in his good government and that government in the nourishing of the people
我認為不可以這樣做，這是不負責任的做法。
I think the current approach of the Government is inappropriate and irresponsible
一名議員在每一屆4年任期內只有一兩次機會提出議案，為何梁美芬議員優先提出這項議案？
As Members only have one or two chances to propose a motion during their four - year tenure why does Dr Priscilla LEUNG give priority to moving this motion?
梁國雄議員以關心在座各位的行動及健康為由，反對縮短點名表決響鐘時間的議案。
Mr LEUNG Kwok - hung opposed the motion to shorten the duration of the division bell for the sake of the mobility and health of Members present
對於梁議員有不可宣之於口的個人理由，我表示同情。
My sympathy goes to Mr LEUNG who has personal reasons which he would rather not say publicly
假如警方不合法地執法，我們當然不會"盲撐"；假如政府不依法辦事，我們亦不會"盲撐"。
If the Police fail to enforce the law in accordance with the law we will certainly not blindly support them; if the Government is not acting in accordance with the law we will not blindly support it either
所以，香港必須盡快進行有關的工作。
Hong Kong should therefore carry out the relevant work as soon as possible
主席，本人懇請議員支持議案。
President I implore Members to support this motion
現時似乎可以大規模地興建臨時房 屋的土地不多，一旦找到這類土地，房屋署十分願意立即興建公營房屋，無論是供出租或出售。
At present it seems that we do not have many sites suitable for large - scale temporary housing development . As soon as such sites are identified the Housing Department will be more than willing to promptly build public rental housing and flats for sale
所以，現在看來，何議員提及的過渡性、臨時、短期的方案，唯有靠政府與非政府機構合作，在空置或私人業主提供的單位或土地設立過渡性房屋。
Therefore in view of the present situation the transitional temporary and interim solutions proposed by Mr HO will require collaboration between the Government and non - governmental organizations to provide transitional housing in vacant units or in units provided by private owners
這項工作相當龐大，政府上一次進行所謂公營部門改革是在回歸前，回歸後其實未曾認真進行公營部門改革，我不能低估其難度，不過依我的經驗看來，是時候要處理這個情況，否則每次做新的事情又要增加人手、資源或聘請顧問，都是難以持續的。
The so - called public sector reform was last conducted before the reunification and no serious public sector reform has been carried out since then . I dare not underestimate the difficulties involved . However according to my experience it is now time to deal with the matter
我會不斷思考，看看有甚麼空間、機會可以進行相關工作。
This approach is hardly sustainable . I will keep thinking to explore further room or opportunity to carry out the related work . Nevertheless I must add a footnote that the pace of our country is beyond our reach
大家看看抗疫，全世界有哪個地方可以好像國家這樣做呢？
It is our tradition to have people expressing different views . Take the anti - epidemic effort as an example . Where else in this world can fight the virus like our country did?
不過，我們會用我們的方法提速，希望能夠在往後的日子，大家會看到一些成績。
However we will increase the pace in our way and it is hoped that Members will see some achievements in the days to come
我們社會有沒有這樣的共識，就是說有時候也需要取捨，是否可以在某一些邊境、禁區裏或禁區外面的一些保育區、一些濕地的緩衝區不是正式的濕地，正式濕地當然要保住，即米埔濕地，但有些是緩衝區可否作一個取捨來發展？
Is there a consensus in our society that sometimes trade - offs have to be made for development in some conservation areas inside or outside certain restricted areas along the border or in some wetland buffer areas? . I do not mean proper wetlands such as Mai Po Wetland which has to be preserved of course
所以今日我們推動"明日大嶼"的工作希望得到社會支持，但不等於甚麼都不可以做。
Therefore we hope to gain the communitys support for taking forward Lantau Tomorrow . But it does not mean that nothing can be done at least as far as port areas are concerned
至少在口岸帶，正如今次優化重建皇崗口岸便可以釋放20公頃已經發展的土地，不過今日是作為口岸區，讓貨車等通關，將來把口岸搬往深圳那一邊的新皇崗口岸，我們這裏的土地便可以使用；將來羅湖口岸亦可以這樣，蓮塘口岸附近那些土地如果能夠通過環評、通過城規的話，當然也可以發展。
For example the improvement and redevelopment of the Huanggang Port will release 20 hectares of developed land . It is just that today it is used as a port area for customs clearance of trucks and such like . In the future when the control point is moved to the new Huanggang Port on the Shenzhen side the land on our side will be available for use
運輸及房屋局和香港鐵路有限公司希望能夠盡快向議員交代。
The Transport and Housing Bureau and the MTR Corporation Limited can hopefully give Members the details as soon as possible
所以，我早前已要求漁護署全面檢視現時我們處理野豬在各區出沒的問題。
Thus I have asked AFCD to comprehensively review our current approach in tackling wild pigs in various districts
但是，隨着要與大灣區有更好的協同效應，是需要從這些標準方面考量，不然往往一過深圳河，這套標準便不適用，是另一套標準。
Yet in order to create greater synergy in GBA consideration should be made to our countrys standards . Otherwise our standards can no longer apply beyond the Shenzhen River where other standards are adopted
在推動香港經濟更多元的同時，我覺得不是很適合去為某個板塊訂立一個硬指標，即使是金融業，也不需要訂立硬指標。
While we are promoting economic diversification in Hong Kong I do not find it appropriate to set a rigid target for any particular sector . Even the financial industry does not need any rigid targets
由我上任到現在短短數年間，金融業佔香港的GDP由17%增加至21%，但當然因為當中有萎縮的因素，其他行業萎縮而它擴大，因此它的百分比增加。
During the few years since my assumption of office the share of the financial industry in Hong Kongs GDP has increased from 17 % to 21 % but this is certainly attributable to the contraction of other industries . As other industries contract and the financial industry expands the latters share in GDP will therefore increase
事實上，我們現在有撥款讓其進行研發工作，將來在將軍澳工業區會有一幢先進製造業大樓，我們會繼續推進這些工作，但一定要知道香港在哪個定位的製造業最能發揮效益。
In fact we have allocated funding for RD of such projects . The Advanced Manufacturing Centre will be established in Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate in the future . While we will continue with such efforts we must find out how the manufacturing industries of Hong Kong should be positioned to achieve the greatest effectiveness
其實，香港是有潛力、有能力可以將我們經濟的板塊變得更多元。
Actually Hong Kong does have the potential and ability to achieve economic diversification
為了籌備這些我向中央爭取的工作，我也需要統籌各部門正在進行的工作，這個我可以承諾。
In order to prepare myself for the lobbying work in this respect to secure support from the Central Government I do need to coordinate the ongoing work of various departments and this is a promise I can make
我相信各位議員都會提出這個要求，姚議員所提出的所有事項都需要通關、控制疫情、有海內外人員往來才能做到，這個我們完全明白。
I think this is the common aspiration of all Members and we fully understand that in order to meet all of the requests raised by Mr YIU we must resume cross - boundary travel bring the epidemic under control and facilitate travel between Hong Kong and the Mainland or overseas countries
中央今次支持香港的第七個範疇正是防疫抗疫方面，剛才姚議員希望知道的事項已包括在內。
Fighting against the epidemic is the seventh area of work in which the Central Government has given its support to Hong Kong and matters raised by Mr YIU just now have in fact been covered already
所有市民都要共同承擔控制疫情的責任，包括要嚴守紀律，即使看見確診數字下降，也不可完全忘記我們仍須在防控疫情的大前提下，做好個人衞生，要配戴口罩、保持社交距離、不要聚會、不要有那麼多身體接觸。
All people must share the responsibility for stabilizing the epidemic situation together and this includes exercise strict discipline . Despite an decreasing of confirmed cases we should not forget the need to prevent and control the epidemic . Under this premise all of us should pay close attention to personal health and hygiene measures wear face masks maintain social distance avoid social gathering and avoid too much physical contact
多謝姚議員的提議。
I thank Mr YIU for his suggestions
事實上，旅遊界今次可說是受到最嚴重的打擊，無論是因為社會動盪或疫情，而且恐怕還要維持一段日 子。
As a matter of fact the tourism industry has been the hardest hit amid the outbreak of social unrest as well as the epidemic and I am afraid that the situation will persist for quite some time
所以，2月1日之後，60歲至64歲符合資格的申請人，既可以領取非長者綜援金額，亦可以獲得自力更生的支援。
Thus starting from 1 February eligible applicants aged 60 to 64 can obtain non - elderly CSSA as well as support for self - reliance
希望大家掌握一些數字，近年長者的勞動參與率不斷提升。
Let me provide Members with some figures . In recent years the rate of participation in the labour market by elderly persons has been on the rise
除了勞工服務外，還有其他支援長者的福利服務。
Apart from providing labour services there are other welfare services for the elderly
所以，我聽到覺得很驚訝，雖然我當時也記不起來，但我今早曾翻查紀錄。
Thus I was very surprised to hear the remarks . Although I could not remember at that time I looked up the record this morning
容議員或許記得，回歸以後，即1997年時，照顧長者已經是當屆政府的工作重點，所以當時成立了安老事務委員會。
Ms YUNG may remember that after the reunification ie . in 1997 care for the elderly was already one of the work priorities of the Government back then and thus the Elderly Commission was established
到了今天，該委員會仍然很活躍地處理容議員剛才提到的事宜，聚焦及針對性地幫助長者，該委員會現任主席是行會成員林正財醫生。
Today the Elderly Commission is still actively handling the issues mentioned by Ms YUNG just now assisting the elderly in a focused and targeted manner under the Chairmanship of Dr LAM Ching - choi who is also a Member of the Executive Council
我們真的要加強不同階段的解說，現時這個階段需要解說為甚麼要完善選舉制度，完善後有甚麼好處。
There is a genuine need for us to enhance our explanatory work at different stages . At this stage we need to explain why the electoral system has to be improved and the advantages of the improvement
第三階段就是條例通過後，進入選舉過程時的步驟，涉及個人和團體方面的登記問題。
After the bill is passed the third stage will focus on explaining the procedures of the election process which involves issues relating to the registration of individuals and organizations
任何投身政治工作，願意投身參選的人士，不應該認為爭取提名票是任何的屈辱。
People who pursue a career in politics and aspire to run for elections should not regard obtaining nomination votes as a humiliation
在剛才張議員提到的兩方面，第一是行政立法的關係，在這裏我也要強調，我們不是期望立法會是"橡皮圖章"，亦不敢奢望立法會會支持我們每一項政策；只要大家都是愛國、愛港、為香港做實事的，可以有不同政策建議、可以反對我們的撥款申請、可以推翻我們的一些工作，但底線是一定要是愛國者。
Here I must stress that we do not expect the Legislative Council to become a rubber stamp nor do we have the wishful thinking that it will support each and every of our policies . As long as Members are patriotic love Hong Kong and do real work for Hong Kong Members can put forward different policy proposals; oppose our funding applications and reject some of our work . However the bottom line is that they must be patriots
有了一個更好、更理性、有利我們施政的環境，我覺得每一位同事都想做更多的事。
We will spare no efforts in our work . Now that there is a better and more rational environment which is conducive to governance I feel that every one of my colleagues is eager to achieve more
我的立場是清晰的，只要翻查我作為政務司司長時先後在兩間香港醫學院發表的數篇演辭，即在香港大學醫學院的畢業典禮及香港中文大學的醫科專業會議上，我也是支持放寬讓海外受訓的醫生回港執 業，故此我的立場與議員是一致的。
Members can refer to the speeches I made at the two medical schools in Hong Kong when I was the Chief Secretary for Administration . That is at a graduation ceremony of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong and a medical professional conference of The Chinese University of Hong Kong I expressed my support for relaxing the restriction on allowing non - locally trained doctors to come back to practise in Hong Kong . So my stand is the same as that of Members
所以，今天再次提上議程，我真的希望因為各位議員在本屆的任期是八九個月，而我的任期是10多個月為了市民的福祉，我希望可以徹底處理這個問題。
So when this issue is brought onto the Agenda again I truly hope that because Members only have eight to nine months left in their term and 10 - odd months left in mine I hope that the Government can thoroughly deal with this problem for the well - being of the people
可是，我亦不希望再次與醫生有很大的衝突。
However I do not want to trigger another clash with doctors
尤其是我們現時跟廣東省的合作非常好，我們和深圳的合作非常好，深圳特區在慶祝成立40周年時得到了一系列獲授權措施，當中給予深圳更大的能力可與香港合作，爭取我們的專業服務准入，希望我們工作一段時間後，可以告知各位議員在哪些行業爭取到成效。
During the celebration of the 40 anniversary of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Shenzhen was conferred a host of authorized items . Shenzhen is allowed to exercise greater flexibility in its cooperation with Hong Kong so as to enable market access of Hong Kongs professional service providers . I hope that we can inform Members of the sectors which will benefit from our efforts in this respect after a while
對於雙老及獨老家庭面對的困難，我們也感到心酸。
We too are saddened by the difficulties faced by families of elderly doubletons or singletons
所以，我也請大家一起幫忙，看看如何可以解決這兩個極為嚴重的樽頸問題：一個是土地，另一個是人力。
Thus I seek Members assistance in suggesting ways to remove two extremely serious bottlenecks land resources and manpower
現時教師都已就位，一俟新政策推出便動用資源改善優質教育。
At present teachers are available and once a new policy is implemented we will utilize the resources to improve quality education
張議員，我說出一個數目、寫張支票是容易的，但我們要確保那筆撥款可以適時投入社會，提供所規劃的服務，而不是把撥款凍結，為的是要滿足大家，顯示政府很有誠意，因而預先撥出一筆款項，但原來短期內無法提供有關服務。
Dr CHEUNG it is easy for me to specify an amount of money and write a cheque but we must ensure the timely injection of the funding for the provision of the services planned . We should not earmark a funding just to demonstrate the Governments sincerity in order to win public applause yet it turns out that the services concerned cannot be provided in the near future
今次修訂的是《基本法》附件一和附件二，完全沒有修訂《基本法》第四十五條有關行政長官普選及第六十八條有關立法會全部議員由普選產生的條文。
The present amendments are made to Annexes I and II to the Basic Law and have not amended any provisions in Article 45 regarding the selection of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage or Article 68 regarding the election of all the members of the Legislative Council by universal suffrage
第一是要考慮實際情況，要循序漸進，"最終"是一個終極目標。
First the actual situation has to be considered; then the principle of gradual and orderly progress has to be followed before achieving the ultimate aim
很感謝易議員重提2014年8月31日全國人大常委會的決定，當時本人是政改三人組的組長，很遺憾方案被聲稱爭取民主和推進普選的人否決。
I am very grateful to Mr YICK for reminding us of the NPCSCs Decision made on 31 August 2014 . I was the head of the constitutional reform trio then; and very regrettably the proposal was vetoed by those who claimed to fight for democracy and promote universal suffrage
事實證明自從2015年後便越走越歪，道路的方向走錯了，經過今次能夠"撥亂反正"，重回正軌，而第四十五條和第六十八條仍然存在，我完全有信心日後可按實際情況、循序漸進，在這套機制下達至普選的目標。
It is evident that since 2015 people have gone further and further away from the right path and headed towards the wrong direction . Now that the mistakes have been rectified we can return to the right track . While Article 45 and Article 68 are still in effect I am fully confident that under this mechanism the aim of universal suffrage can be achieved in the light of the actual situation and in accordance with the principle of gradual and orderly progress in the future
所以，我要求教育局局長在作出短期的補救措施之餘，也要全面檢視如何為這群在學習上有需要的聽障兒童提供更好的服務。
Thus apart from asking the Secretary for Education to implement short - term remedial measures I have also asked him to comprehensively review on ways to provide better services to children with hearing impairment so as to meet their learning needs
施政是可以改善的，落實是可以加快的，我對於我的司局長是有這個要求，我覺得司局長亦很努力，不過永遠也可以做得更加好。
There is room for improving governance and expediting implementation . I require this of my Secretaries of Departments and Directors of Bureaux who in my view have also worked very hard but can always do better
不過都可能會做，但不會走多一步，用我以行政長官獲得的權力作出一項公共收入保障令，使這個措施急市民所急，急這些商鋪的業主所急，今日便可以生效。
Anyway it might have been done but I would not have gone a step further by exercising the power vested in the Chief Executive to make a Public Revenue Protection Order to give effect to this measure today thus addressing the pressing needs of the public and commercial property owners
如果這些意見在執行時，需要動用資源，特區政府也十分願意動用資源。
The SAR Government will be more than willing to commit the necessary resources to execute these suggestions
我們會用好在地區收集市民意見的渠道，除了包括我們18個民政事務處，如果大家留意在今次選舉委員會的界別分組增加了的板塊，正正是令更多基層社會、社區的聲音能反映到選舉委員會。
We will make good use of the channels for collecting public opinion in the districts . In addition to the 18 District Offices Members may also notice the inclusion of the new Election Committee EC subsectors which precisely seeks to allow more voices of the grass roots and the community to be reflected to EC
梁議員可以向這些長者說，他們可以接觸當區的分區委員會，譬如他很關心所居住舊樓的消防問題，可告訴當區的防火會；如擔心治安，便可向當區的滅罪會反映；或者他是廣東或浙江的同鄉，便可告訴同鄉會他擔心的問題或希望看到這些施政措施。
For example if they are very concerned about the fire safety problems of the tenements in which they are residing they can contact the relevant District Fire Safety Committees . If they are worried about law and order they can relay their concerns to the District Fight Crime Committees . Or if they are townsmen of Guangdong or Zhejiang they can voice their concerns or aspirations for policy initiatives to the relevant associations of Chinese fellow townsmen
主席，多謝梁議員的提問。
President I thank Mr LEUNG for his question
社會各界，特別是基層市民，對政府施政的意見非常重要，亦確保我們的施政能夠"以人為本"，反映市民的心聲。
The opinions of various sectors of society particularly the grass roots are very important to the governance of the Government . They can ensure that our governance is people - oriented and able to reflect public aspirations
我無法回應涂議員的質詢，因為我並沒有一起參與研究這宗個案應否檢控。
As I have not been involved in examining whether a prosecution should be made in this case I am not in the position to answer Mr TOs question
如果有一天，行政長官參與檢控的工作，可能便是他口中所謂法治淪亡的一天。
If the Chief Executive were to take part in prosecution someday that might be in Mr TOs words the day signifying the fall of the rule of law
我明白有時候是有些觀感的問題，同時，作為管治的人也不可能完全抹煞一些觀感，但觀感不能凌駕法治，亦不能凌駕最大的公眾利益。
I understand that perception is sometimes an issue and government leaders cannot totally ignore the perception issue . However perception cannot override either the rule of law or the greatest public interest
我相信大家要很嚴肅認真地全面貫徹《基本法》的精神。
I believe we should fully implement the spirit of the Basic Law in a serious manner
當《基本法》的條文訂明檢控工作是由律政司負責，不受任何干涉，我肯定地告訴涂議員，他剛才對我的要求，要我告訴司長重新檢視決定、重新開立檔案、重新索取意見，我會視之為干涉，所以我不會做。
As it is provided in the Basic Law that the Department of Justice shall be responsible for criminal prosecution free from any interference I can tell Mr TO with certainty that I will not ask the Secretary for Justice to review her decision open a new file and seek advice on the case afresh as I regard such acts as interference . Hence I will not take such actions
但是，我會做甚麼？
Nevertheless what will I do?
不過，最低限度，我給予她的意見是，我們要嘗試解釋我們的決定是如何，但這並非干涉司長的檢控決定或她的專業判斷，只是一個公關方面的意見，我相信司長已考慮我給予她公關方面的意見，才作出大家所看到的舉動。
At least my advice to her was that we should explain the basis of our decision . In giving this advice I was not interfering with the prosecuting decision or professional judgment of the Secretary for Justice but merely to advise her on public relations . I trust that the Secretary for Justice had considered my public relation advice before making her move under the spotlight
多謝田議員關心我們疫苗接種的進度。
I thank Mr TIEN for his concern over the vaccination progress
田議員提出了一些辦法，不過這些辦法，有些在我們能力範圍之內，有些在我們能力範圍之外。
Mr TIEN has made a number of suggestions and some of them are within our capability but some are not
在我們能力範圍之內的，其實我們已經提出了。
For those within our capability we have already put them into action
如果議員說疫苗接種是這些工作中的一個議題，我們當然要爭取所有在香港合法認可、安全、有效使用的疫苗都不應該被排斥或被歧視，但此工作是有一個國際角度。
If Members opine that vaccination is a major issue in our work we will certainly endeavour to stop any vaccines recognized as safe and effective under the law of Hong Kong from being excluded or discriminated . Yet there is an international perspective on this
現時在香港兩款已獲認可作緊急使用的疫苗中，復必泰應該獲大部分地方接受，我相信國產疫苗稍後亦會獲得世衞認同，因為現時已經有很多國家正在接種國產疫苗。
Among the two vaccines which have been authorized for emergency use in Hong Kong Comirnaty is well - accepted internationally . I believe the Mainland - manufactured vaccines will also be recognized by WHO soon as they are already in use in many countries
多謝盧議員。
Thank you Ir Dr LO
然而，我同意近年泊車位的落差很大，一方面私家車增長快速，但泊車位的增長卻遠遠不及。
Nevertheless I agree that there is a huge gap in car parking provision in recent years; while the number of private cars increases rapidly the increase in car parking provision lags far behind
盧議員可以放心，我剛才說的策略已經在特區政府適用，如果有些例子並非按照我所說的做法，一定是存有很大和難以處理的技術性問題。
Ir Dr LO can rest assured that the strategy I mentioned just now has already been put into application in the SAR Government . If there are cases which do not adopt the practice that I mentioned it must be attributed to great technical issues which are difficult to deal with
我已經下達指示，各部門需要互相協調。
I have already given my instructions that various departments have to coordinate with one another
不要怪我咬文嚼字，石議員用上"不歡"這兩個字，我是不同意的。
I do not agree with Mr SHEKs use of the word upset
我從來不會以市民歡喜我，還是不歡喜我，作為我施政的宗旨，而全是為落實"一國兩制"和為香港着想的。
I have never based my principle of implementing policies on peoples liking or otherwise for me . My principle is totally for the sake of implementing one country two systems and Hong Kongs well - being
如果我純粹希望市民歡喜我，我有些做法就不會這樣，希望石議員明白。
If I had purely hoped to obtain peoples liking for me I would not have adopted certain approaches . I hope Mr SHEK can understand my point
雖然本人的任期只剩一年多，我們不會放過任何一個機會落實我們對社會承諾了的工作，不會因任期即將結束而放鬆，或認為已事不關己而不繼續規劃。
Although there is only a year or so to go before the end of my term of office we will not let go of any opportunity to do what we have promised the community . Nor will we relax our efforts or stop making plans because the term of office is about to end or it is no longer our business
因為我們不可以讓太多外傭來港，害怕會有感染和傳播的情況，所以在本地的外傭轉工時，我們現時也十分小心，要求他們進行病毒檢測才能進 入新僱主的家庭工作。
However this is again a matter of balance that I just mentioned because we cannot allow too many foreign domestic helpers to come to Hong Kong for fear of increasing the risks of infection and spreading of virus . Hence when a foreign domestic helper already staying in Hong Kong is about to change employer we are also very cautious in requiring her to pass the virus test before she can work in the new employers family
我很認真處理這件事，在2月4日的行政長官答問會，我公布了數方面須優先處理的立法工作，其中一項是一系列有關信息發放、"起底"、私隱被損害的工作。
I have taken this issue very seriously . Among the several priority legislative initiatives announced by me at the Chief Executives Question and Answer Session on 4 February a series of work is related to information dissemination doxxing and privacy infringement
政府的目標是在立法會財務委員會通過撥款後的1年內落實計劃。
The Government aims to launch the scheme within one year after obtaining funding approval from the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council
首先是置業難和居住環境差的問題。
First the difficulty in achieving home ownership and the poor living conditions . My housing policy comprises the following four elements 1 housing is not a simple commodity . Our community has a rightful expectation towards the Government to provide adequate housing
這是為基層及低收入家庭確立已久的安全網，政府會致力縮短公屋的輪候時間。與此同時，我們會加大力度幫助比較有能力的公屋住戶循置業階梯上移，騰出單位給有需要的市民。
PRH is a long - established safety net for the grass roots and low - income families . The Government will strive to shorten the waiting time for PRH while stepping up our effort to help those relatively better - off PRH tenants to move up the housing ladder and vacate their units for allocation to the needy
今年是香港回歸祖國20年，是承先啟後，繼往開來的里程碑。
This year marks the 20 anniversary of Hong Kongs return to the Motherland a milestone for us to build on our achievements and begin a new chapter of development
無論從房屋政策、房委會資源運用和分配，以至市民置業期望來看，"綠置居"都是有利無害的。
From the perspectives of housing policy utilization and allocation of HKHAs resources and public aspirations for home ownership GSH has its merits and no shortcomings
事實上，除了有助公屋住戶置業外，"綠置居"亦可售予已通過詳細資格審查的公屋申請者，更早地滿足他們的置業訴求。
In fact apart from assisting PRH tenants to become home - owners PRH applicants who have passed the detailed eligibility vetting are also eligible for GSH and can thus more quickly fulfil their aspirations for home ownership
有見及此，我認為未來的新建公營房屋，應以更多的"綠置居"取代出租公屋，我已要求房委會盡快完成有關的檢討，將"綠置 居"恆常化，並公布更多以"綠置居"出售的項目。
In view of this I consider that our future public housing developments should include more GSH units instead of PRH units . I have requested HKHA to complete the review on GSH as soon as possible with a view to regularizing the Scheme and offering more GSH flats for sale
過往，未補價的居屋二手市場單位只限於讓綠表人士選購。
In the past HOS flats with premium unpaid used to be available for sale on the secondary market only to Green Form applicants
這做法既可為租住私樓的人士增加置業機會，也有利於居屋的流轉。
This allows tenants of private premises more opportunities to become home - owners and at the same time facilitates the turnover of HOS flats
