連同未補價的"租者置其屋"計劃，可於這個二手市場出售予白表人士的單位一共有38萬個。
Taking into account the Tenants Purchase Scheme flats with premium unpaid there are a total of 380 000 flats available on the secondary market for purchase by White Form buyers
"首置"單位的售價和面積會參考合資格人士的負擔能力，而轉讓的年期限制亦可能須較居屋更嚴緊，轉讓時如何處理購入單位時的補貼，即補價問題，則仍須進一步研究。
The prices and sizes of such units will be determined having regard to the affordability of eligible buyers . The alienation restrictions may be tighter than those for HOS . We need to further consider how to deal with the subsidy given to the buyers at the time of purchase ie the issue of premium payment

經詳細研究後，我們認為首選是在灣仔現有的香港會議展覽中心附近，增建具國際水平的會展場地。
After a detailed study we consider that the priority is to build a new convention and exhibition venue of international standard in the proximity of the existing Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre HKCEC in Wan Chai
因此，我們決定先放棄早前政府公布的灣仔運動場選址，將灣仔北會展中心毗鄰的3座政府大樓拆卸重建，並將新址與現址改建連結成為可互相通達和連成一體的會展新 翼。
Therefore we have decided that for the time being we will give up the identified site at the Wan Chai Sports Ground announced by the Government earlier . Instead we will demolish and redevelop the three government buildings next to HKCEC in Wan Chai North into a new wing that can be connected to and integrated with the existing HKCEC
初步估計，新增的相連會展設施面積約23,000平方米。
Based on an initial estimate the project will add about 23 000 sq m of connected convention and exhibition facilities

昨天，我在立法會發表了2020年施政報告，篇幅比較長，所以，很感謝大家聆聽本人的施政報告兩個多小時。
Yesterday in the Legislative Council I delivered the Policy Address 2020 which is quite lengthy . So I am grateful to Members for spending over two hours listening to my Policy Address

我在此可以加一句：行政長官的職責亦包括要維護立法會監察政府功能的權力。
Here I can add a few words The duties of the Chief Executive also include safeguarding the Legislative Councils power to exercise the function of monitoring the Government
作為行政長官，我有責任維護大家發揮各自在《基本法》之下行使職權的能力，包括對特區政府的工作提出質詢。
Being the Chief Executive I am duty - bound to safeguard Members capabilities to exercise their powers and functions under the Basic Law which include raising questions on the work of the SAR Government
在過去3年多，我除了按傳統每3個月出席一次立法會的答問會好像今天一樣，大概是90分鐘，過去我出席了10次這樣的90分鐘答問會我亦增加了每次半小時、主席稱為"短問短答"的質詢時間，到目前為止，我出席了14次這些質詢時間。
In the past three - odd years apart from following the convention of attending the Question and Answer Sessions of the Legislative Council every three months―which was around 90 minutes long just like todays and back then I attended 10 Question and Answer Sessions which similarly lasted 90 minutes―I also added the 30 - minute Question Times which the President referred to as short question short answer sessions and so far I have attended 14 Question Times
今天，我可以在此對大家說，在這些問題當中聽到的意見，有些已經納入我的施政措施，例如由潘兆平議員提出的勞工假期一致化；由吳永嘉議員提出的會展業場地短缺；由張華峰議員提出的粵港澳大灣區金融發展；由葛珮帆議員提出，應該放寬人人暢道通行計劃安裝升降機的申請門檻；以及由陳克勤議員提出，應該資助舊樓業主檢查電梯。
Today I would like to tell Members that I have heard the views expressed through these questions and some of them have been incorporated into my policy initiatives for example the alignment of labour holidays with general holidays proposed by Mr POON Siu - ping; the shortage of venues for convention and exhibition industry mentioned by Mr Jimmy NG; financial development in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area advocated by Mr Christopher CHEUNG; Ms Elizabeth QUATs proposal to relax the application threshold for retrofitting lifts under the Universal Accessibility Programme; and Mr CHAN Hak - kans proposal to subsidize owners of old buildings to carry out lift inspections
對於大家提點我最重要是落實施政報告的內容，而且希望能夠盡快落實，我們是聽到的。
We have noted Members advice to me that it is the implementation of the initiatives in the Policy Address that is the most important and that they hope for expeditious implementation
今天是我自從今年1月後，再次出席立法會的答問會。
Today this is the first time for me to attend the Question and Answer Session of the Legislative Council again after January this year
我在此要特別感謝立法會接納我較早前的建議，在內務委員會之下成立小組委員會，先討論全國人大有關《決定》的主要內容以及新修訂的《基本法》附件一、附件二；由廖長江議員擔任主席的小組委員會已經召開4次會議，待特區政府提交條例草案後，小組委員會將會立即轉成法案委員會，審議有關法案。
I would like to thank the Legislative Council for accepting my earlier suggestion to form a subcommittee under the House Committee to first deliberate on the main contents of the Decision passed by the National Peoples Congress as well as the amended Annex I and Annex II to the Basic Law . The subcommittee chaired by Mr Martin LIAO has already held four meetings . Upon the SAR Governments introduction of the bill the subcommittee will immediately be transformed into a Bills Committee to scrutinize the bill
由於審議時間緊迫，我們會盡量配合法案委員會的審議工作，並會就具體做法徵詢法案委員會主席的意見。
Given the limited time for scrutiny we will try to work closely with the Bills Committee to facilitate its deliberation and consult the Chairman of the Bills Committee on the specific approach

SAR will also take measures in accordance with the law to regulate acts that manipulate or sabotage elections

The improved electoral system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region SAR will be able to establish a political structure which conforms to the one country two systems principle meets the actual situation of Hong Kong and fulfils the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong
我在此衷心感謝立法會主席已公布第六屆立法會在今年暑假會繼續開會，直至第七屆立法會換屆選舉開始為止，以完成各項與民生息息相關的審議工作。
I would like to express my sincere thanks to the President of the Legislative Council for announcing that the Sixth Legislative Council will continue to have meetings during this summer recess until the general election for the Seventh Legislative Council begins in order to complete the consideration of various issues closely related to peoples livelihood
我對各位議員的配合和努力，表示由衷致謝。
I extend my heartfelt thanks to Members for their cooperation and efforts
但是，從政策上，如果今天貿然讓每位市民都有自由和權利在強制性退休保障計劃下提取部分累積款項，恐怕不是一個最適當的做法。
However I am afraid that policywise it will not be an appropriate approach in my view if each citizen is given the freedom and right to take out part of his accrued benefits from his MPF account
我剛才已經解釋我們的政策考慮，香港仍然有各式各樣的支援系統，可以為謝議員所說的危急、三餐不繼情況，提供各式各類的支援。
I have just explained our policy consideration . Hong Kong still has various kinds of support systems which can provide different support to those people facing critical situations like living a hand - to - mouth existence as mentioned by Mr TSE
這方面更需要更多人坐在一起討論。
This will be a subject which requires even more people to sit together for discussion
所以，對於可否在短期內便對設計作出結論和改變，我認為要審慎一點，尤其是檢視在粵港澳大灣區發展之下，會否令車流增加。
Thus I think we should be cautious before drawing any conclusions or making any changes within a short period of time . In particular we must review whether there will be an increase in vehicular flow with the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area
選舉工作是非常嚴謹的。
The electoral work is very strict
謝議員可以放心，我們一定會全力以赴，不會吝嗇人手和資源，總之要將工作做得妥妥當當。
Mr TSE can rest assured that we will definitely make all - out efforts . We will not be stingy in providing manpower and resources and will get the job done properly
所以，就這單一課題，已有3項突破思維的工作。
Hence there are already three examples of thinking out of the box in respect of such a single issue
其實，昨天所提供的時間表全部已經提前了。
In fact in the timetable provided yesterday all the arrangements have already been moved ahead of schedule
不過，不可能是我一個人做的，而是集合了多個局和部門的努力，才做到這份施政報告。
But it cannot possibly be the case . Rather this Policy Address is a result of the combined efforts of various Policy Bureaux and departments
所以，請陳議員放心，所有同事皆非常努力。
So Mr CHAN may rest assured that all my colleagues will work very hard
不過，我有信心亦很願意親自督導相關工作，讓議員和市民看到我們非常認真繼續施政。
But I have confidence and I am willing to oversee the relevant work myself so as to enable Members and the public to see our seriousness and persistence in implementing policies
幸好現時中央及時出手，否則傷害將會更大。
Fortunately the Central Authorities have taken timely action or else more harm would be done
我們曾經有一段時間很重視公眾參與，當時稱為public engagement，事無大小都召開town hall meeting，我記得在出任發展局局長時多次為地區發展召開town hall meeting。
There was a time when we attached great importance to public engagement and held town hall meetings for all sorts of matters . I remember when I was the Secretary for Development back then a number of town hall meetings were held for district - based development projects
他們凡有town hall meeting便前來追擊，在會場內吵吵鬧鬧，需要出動警察維持治安，結果一事無成。
They gatecrashed and made a scene at each and every town hall meeting which necessitated the deployment of police officers to maintain law and order . As a result nothing could be accomplished
多謝陳議員的提問。
Thanks to Mr CHAN for his question
我留意到社會近日關心這個議題，不過我想我們要從歷史的角度看這個議題。
I noted the communitys concern about this issue recently but I think this should be considered from a historical perspective
香港的土地運用有其既有歷史，當年由港島往九龍、新界伸延，從這個歷史角度，以前的北區是一個比較偏遠的地方，所以很多市民不願意在市區看見的東西就放在北區，這是歷史角度，不是個人或者官員看不到，因為官員沒有水晶球。
The use of land in Hong Kong has its own history which started with the Hong Kong Island and then extended to Kowloon and the New Territories years ago . Judging from this historical perspective the North District used to be a relatively remote place in the past thus many things that people did not want to see in the urban areas had been placed in the North District . This is a historical perspective
我可以跟陳議員說，我也很關心這件事，也不是今天才關心，我們一兩年前已經看到，在大灣區的門口有 這些設施可能會引起內地或北區居民擔憂，所以將會要求有關的建設部門認真考慮如何興建及往後怎樣管理這些相關設施。
I can tell Mr CHAN that I am also very much concerned about the matter and my concern does not start today . We realized a year or so ago that the provision of these facilities at the doorstep of GBA might arouse concerns among the residents on the Mainland or in the North District . We will therefore demand the departments responsible for the construction to seriously consider how the facilities should be built and how the related facilities should be managed in the future
至於土地的規劃，這是香港的特色。
Land planning is a characteristic of Hong Kong
香港有1,100平方公里，但選用了很密集式的發展模式，所以大家會看見很多地方都是相對擠迫，亦不是說沒有一些一般來說不應設於毗鄰的設施放在一起的情況。
Covering an area of 1 100 sq km Hong Kong has adopted a very intensive development model . This is why we can see that many places are relatively crowded and it is possible to find the co - location of certain facilities that should generally not be provided side by side
但我得到的結論是，如果我們在整個醫療策略或制度上沒有重大轉變，便難以應付人口老齡化帶來各方面的挑戰。
Nevertheless my conclusion is that if there is no significant change to our overall health care strategies or systems we can hardly meet the challenges brought by an ageing population
所以，關於陳議員的問題，在醫療制度方面，我們的理念跟她是一致的，我們非常重視基層醫療，認為預防勝於治療，而投放於預防疾病的開支非常具成效。
Thus with regard to Ms CHANs question I share with her the philosophy on health care system . The Government attaches great importance to primary health care and considers that prevention is better than cure and expenditures on disease prevention have produced very effective results
所以，我們在未來將會大力投資於基層醫療，而剛才提到的葵青區地區康健中心是我們的首個試點，但我們不會等這項試驗完結。
Thus in the future we will invest heavily on primary health care and Kwai Tsing district health centre mentioned earlier will be our first pilot point . However we will not wait for the completion of the pilot scheme
所以，每次有這些群組，我們都一定會進行強制檢測，亦正如剛才有議員提出要為有關人士採樣，不能讓他們自行採集深喉唾液樣本進行測試，包括安老院員工或的士司機，諸如此類，我們一定會用這個手段。
And as a Member just mentioned when we conduct these tests we need to take the specimens by ourselves rather than letting people take their own deep throat saliva specimens by themselves . These people include age homes workers taxi drivers etc . We will definitely take this approach
我昨天回答記者的提問，澄清了強制全民檢測有很多問題，第一，目的是甚麼？
In my reply to reporters questions yesterday I clarified that there were many problems with a compulsory universal virus test
我們下一輪發出這些指令時，便會實行，但當我稍為提及進入這些處所都要強制拍卡，又會引起很多反彈。
We will do this in our next round of orders . However I will meet with a lot of resistance if I just slightly mention mandatory scanning of these QR codes for entry into these premises
這是不可能的，所以我們的工作往往亦需要一併考慮現實的情況。
This is just impossible and that explains why we in doing our jobs often have to take into account the actual situation
電影發展基金是用作做項目的，就算是展覽業的撥款，也是應該用作做展覽的，並不是作紓緩用途，紓緩的工作仍然在防疫抗疫基金內的各個項目。
FDF caters for relevant projects and even the funding for the exhibition industry is supposed to be used for exhibition and not relief purposes . Relief measures still come under the Anti - epidemic Fund
現在，經過有關部門的努力，有關措施會在4月1日推出。
With the efforts made by the relevant departments the relevant measures will take effect on 1 April
事實上，這次全國人大決定，要求全國人大常委會修訂《基本法》附件一、附件二的5個目的，其中之一就是希望透過完善了的選舉制度，可以切實提升治理效能；不過，我亦公開說過，有了好的選舉制度，有了好的、可以配合又制衡我們的立法會，都不會自動提升治理效能，要提升治理效能需要人才。
In fact regarding the decision of the National Peoples Congress to authorize its Standing Committee to amend Annex I and Annex II to the Basic Law one of the five objectives is to effectively enhance our governance capability through an improved electoral system . However I have also said openly that even if there is a good electoral system together with a sound Legislative Council that can both complement and keep checks and balances on us our governance capability will not be enhanced automatically . Talents are needed to enhance governance capability
黃議員，我記得政府對每項跨境或本地運輸基建都會評估所帶來的經濟效益，例如節省的時間等，所以港珠澳大橋和廣深港高鐵香港段都有經濟效益。
Mr WONG I remember that the Government has given an estimate of the economic benefits―such as time savings―derived by each cross - border or local transport infrastructure . Therefore HZMB and the Hong Kong Section of the XRL both come with economic benefits
例如，兩地的科研人才合作，現時我們大學的科研人才很容易可以到深圳、廣州等地方辦事；在香港的科研成果要 轉化亦很容易做到，因為交通十分便捷，在深圳或其他大灣區城市設立先進的生產區，可以建立完備的供應鏈。
For example when it comes to cross - border cooperation in research and development scientific research talents from local universities can easily go to Shenzhen and Guangzhou for exchanges; transfer of local research and technology achievements is made easy with convenient transport . Advanced production zones and expanded supply chains can be set up in Shenzhen and other cities in the Greater Bay Area
因此，我相信在一段日子之後，大家就可以看到這些基建為香港帶來的龐大效益。
Therefore I believe that in due course Members will see the tremendous benefits that these infrastructures can bring to Hong Kong
香港作為一個四通八達的國際城市，應該要不斷令人流、物流更加方便。
As an international city with an extensive and efficient public transport system Hong Kong should keep facilitating more convenient flows of passenger and goods
實際上，監警會根本沒有可能調查警暴問題的核心。
In fact it is simply impossible for IPCC to look into the core of the police brutality problem
但是，多位議員認為，他們所採用的宣誓方式，歷屆立法會議員也曾採用類似方式，卻沒有問題。
However a number of Members are of the view that some Members of the previous terms of the Legislative Council had adopted similar approaches in their oath - taking and no problems had arisen
毛孟靜議員和多位非建制派議員剛才說過，我們不信納梁君彥議員已經完全放 棄英籍或放棄英國的居留權。
As Ms Claudia MO and a number of non - establishment Members have said just now we are not convinced that Mr Andrew LEUNG has completely renounced his British citizenship or renounced his right of abode in the United Kingdom
當然，沒有人會反對要加強消防安全以保障生命財產，但現時的情況是政策目標和執行均完全脫節。
Of course no one will oppose the need to enhance fire safety to protect lives and properties but the current problem is that the objectives and implementation of the relevant policy are completely out of touch
事實上，現時消防處是容許採用替代方案的，例如利用乾粉滅火筒取代無法安裝的消防水缸。
As a matter of fact FSD does accept alternative measures for example use dry powder fire extinguishers to replace fire service water tanks that cannot be installed
由於現時規定業主必須證明樓宇結構無法安裝水缸，才可獲豁免而採取其他措施，我們是否應該考慮另一種做法，即由認可人士建議適用於樓宇的各種改善消防安全方案，然後再由業主在當中選擇較實際的方案，相信這會有助改善目前舊樓業主面對指示的問題。
At present property owners are required to prove that the structure of the building does not support the installation of a fire service water tank before it can obtain exemption and adopt alternative measures . I think we should consider adopting another approach whereby Authorized Persons would suggest alternative fire safety improvement options suitable for the building from which the property owners can choose the most practical one . I think this would help improve the current problem encountered by owners of old buildings in complying with the directions
