主席，我想在此向全香港市民分享一些實情，就是港鐵公司的董事局及管理層由始至終未能處理港鐵工程部這座大山......
President I would like to share some facts with all Hong Kong people here and that is the Board and management of MTRCL have never been able to deal with its Projects Division which is a big mountain
我想局長回應一下，60億元這個數字是如何得出的呢？
I would like the Secretary to respond how this figure of 6 billion was arrived at
我想問他有關檢討機制，將來在檢討可加可減機制時，會否考慮我說的將票價調整至通脹的一半？
I want to ask him about the review mechanism . When FAM which provides for both upward and downward adjustments of fares is reviewed in the future will my suggestion of adjusting the fares to half of the annual inflation rate be considered?
我們已就《條例草案》內的修訂建議諮詢專業團體、水喉業商會、水喉匠協會、職工會、建造界、發展商和消費者委員會，並得到他們普遍支持。
We have consulted professional bodies plumbing trade associations plumbers associations workers associations the construction sector developers and the Consumer Council on the proposals made in the Bill and obtained general support from them
《條例草案》的目的是通過修訂《水務設施條例》有關獲指定進行水管工程的人士和持牌水喉匠職責的相關條文，以令《條例》更能反映政策原意和切合業界作業模式。
The purpose of the Bill is to amend the relevant provisions of the Waterworks Ordinance WWO Cap . 102 in relation to persons designated for carrying out plumbing works and the duties of licensed plumbers so that WWO can better reflect the policy intent and the industry practice
而在落實修訂建議時，我們已妥善考慮從諮詢工作和營商環境影響評估研究所收集的意見。
In finalizing the amendment proposals we have duly considered the comments received in the consultation exercise and BIA
透過整合《條例》與《建造業工人註冊條例》對於獲指定進行水管工程人士的規定，《條例草案》不但能維持工程質素，而且可以為水喉行業提供同時符合《條例》與《建造業工人註冊條例》的人力資源。
Through aligning the requirements on persons designated for carrying out plumbing works under WWO with those under CWRO the Bill can provide additional workforce to the plumbing industry which complies with both WWO and CWRO without compromising work quality
最後，我們建議其他提高監管水管工程成效的措施，包括訂明有關《條例》的檢控，可於水務監督發現或知悉罪行當日起計6個月內提出。
Lastly we propose other measures to enhance the effectiveness of monitoring of plumbing works including stipulating that prosecutions under WWO may be brought within a period of six months from the date on which the offence is discovered by or comes to the notice of WA
我懇請各位議員支持《條例草案》，並期望《條例草案》能早日完成審議並獲得通過。
I implore Members to support the Bill and hope for speedy completion of scrutiny of the Bill and its passage
為慎重起見，我們建議透過《條例草案》，優先修訂《條例》，落實有關建議。
We consider it prudent to prioritize amendments to WWO through the Bill to implement the recommendations
賣地方面，2016-2017年度，政府推售21幅住宅用地，共可提供約14,500個單位。
In respect of land sale in 2016 - 2017 the Government has put up 21 residential sites for sale which can provide about 14 500 flats in total
這是自2010-2011年度政府恢復主動賣地以來，政府推售住宅用地可供興建單位數量最多的年度。
This is the highest flat production capacity of Government land sale sites since the Government - initiated sale mechanism was resumed in 2010 - 2011
政府會繼續按季預先公布出售土地計劃，為市場提供具透明度及確定性的土地供應。
We will continue to announce quarterly land sale programmes in advance providing transparency and certainty in respect of land supply for the market
今屆特區政府增加土地供應的決心毋庸置疑。
The determination of the current - term Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to increase land supply is unquestionable
有議員表示政府發展棕地的工作滯後，我並不同意。
Some Members said that the Government is lagging behind in its work on the development of brownfield sites . This I beg to differ
過去數年，我們透過多管齊下的策略，持續及穩定地增加短、中、長期土地供應，務求全方位應付香港在房屋、經濟和社會的持續發展需要，並為未來建立土地儲備。
Over the past few years we have through a multi - pronged strategy maintained a sustained and steady land supply in the short medium and long terms with a view to meeting the needs of sustainable development of Hong Kong in such aspects as housing the economy and society and building up a land reserve for the future
我們亦會繼續將部分位於商業中心區的政府辦公室搬遷到其他區域，以及將合適的"政府、機構或社區"用地和政府物業改為商業用途，並繼續積極推展九龍東作為第二個核心商業區，以及啟德發展區等發展，務求持續供應經濟用地和相關硬件配套。
We will continue to relocate some government offices away from the core business district CBD to other districts and convert suitable Government Institution or Community sites and government properties into commercial uses . We will continue to forge ahead with the development of Kowloon East into another CBD and the Kai Tak Development Area etc with a view to providing land and supporting hardware for economic uses in a sustainable manner
不少議員都關注到私人樓宇的業主在維修和保養其物業時所遇到的困難。
Quite a number of Members have expressed concern over the problems encountered by owners of private buildings in repairing and maintaining their properties
接下來我會講述基本工程投資。
Next I will talk about investment on capital works
政府一直維持適度及有序的基本工程投資，以改善市民生活、推動香港經濟發展及提升香港的長遠競爭力。
The Government has all along maintained its capital works investment in an appropriate and orderly manner to improve peoples quality of living promote the economic development of Hong Kong and upgrade the long - term competitiveness of Hong Kong
部分議員認為政府投放過多資源於基本工程計劃，這是不正確和極之危險的想法。
Some Members hold that the Government has injected excessive resources into capital works projects . This is an incorrect and most dangerous view
短中期方面，透過更改土地用途和提升發展密度，例如土地用途檢討物色的210多幅房屋用地、啟德發展區、市區重建等，共可提供超過38萬個單位。
In the short - to - medium term by way of changing existing land uses and increasing development intensity which involves some 210 housing sites identified through land use reviews the Kai Tak Development Area urban renewal projects and so on a total of over 380 000 residential flats can be provided
國際間不同經濟體競爭激烈，不進則退，只有繼續推動基建發展才能保持香港長遠的競爭力。
Competition among various economies is keen in the international community and you either keep progressing or keep falling behind . Only when we make continuously efforts to promote infrastructure development can the competitiveness of Hong Kong be maintained in the long term
我亦希望澄清基建項目不是"大白象"工程。
I also wish to clarify that the infrastructure projects are no white elephant projects
政府為了回應社會大眾對公共設施殷切的需求，每年提交立法會審議的工程項目，涵蓋土地及房屋供應、醫療、環保、交通運輸、學校及文康社區設施等各方面，均與民生息息相關，每一項都有其迫切性及社會和經濟效益。
In response to the keen demand for public facilities among members of the community the works projects submitted annually by the Government for scrutiny by the Legislative Council cover such areas as land and housing supply health care environmental protection traffic and transport schools as well as cultural recreational and community facilities which are all closely related to the peoples living . Each and every one of the projects has its urgency as well as social and economic benefits
在申請撥款前，亦已充分諮詢公眾意見，並獲得社會普遍支持。
Before seeking funding approval for them we have fully consulted the public and obtained general support in the community
我們亦理解市民和議員的關注，特別是香港的建造成本上漲，以及過去數年某些基建工程出現超支的情況。
We appreciate the concerns expressed by the public and Members especially over the rising construction costs and cost overruns incurred by certain infrastructure projects during the past few years in Hong Kong
近年基本工程計劃的推展，經常受立法會"拉布"行動的影響，變得舉步維艱。
In recent years the delivery of the Capital Works Programme has often been affected by filibustering in the Legislative Council making our work extremely difficult
接着我想說說東江水供港事宜。
Now I wish to turn to issues relating to the supply of Dongjiang water to Hong Kong
在以往訂立東江水供水協議時，我們亦曾考慮並與粵方商討採用"按量付費"方式購買東江水。
In signing the Dongjiang water supply agreements in the past we had considered and negotiated with the Guangdong side the use of the payment on actual supply quantity approach for purchasing Dongjiang water
有關調整水價方面，我們一直參照一人民幣兌港幣匯率；二粵港兩地的物價指數；及三營運成本的變化，作為調整東江水價的基礎。
On the adjustment of the water price we have all along made reference to 1 the exchange rate between Renminbi RMB and Hong Kong dollar HKD; 2 the price indices of Guangdong and Hong Kong; and 3 changes in operation costs which form the basis for adjusting the price of Dongjiang water
根據此機制，東江水水價可加亦可減。
Under this mechanism the price of Dongjiang water can be increased or decreased
事實上，粵港雙方亦曾於2006年同意在前述基礎下下調東江水水價。
As a matter of fact in 2006 Guangdong and Hong Kong agreed to adjust downward the price of Dongjiang water on the aforesaid basis
我們在今年2月已展開未來3年供水協議的商討工作。
In February this year we commenced negotiation on the water supply agreement for the next three years
我們會在商討過程中反映議員的意見，也會極力爭取最好的協議。
We will reflect Members views in the course of the negotiation and make the utmost effort to strive for the most favourable agreement
主席，各位議員，早晨。
President and Honourable Members good morning
儘管如此，考慮到公眾因應疫情提升了對樓宇排水系統的關注，以及因為經濟不景，令建造業界失業率上升，政府早前透過第二輪的防疫抗疫基金推行一項為期24個月的特別措施，視察大廈外牆排水系統。
Nevertheless in face of the heightened public concerns about building drainage systems under the COVID - 19 and the increasing unemployment rate in the construction industry due to economic downturn the Government has earlier launched a 24 - month special measure through the second round of the Anti - epidemic Fund AEF to inspect the external drainage systems of buildings
就質詢的3個部分，我答覆如下： 一 有關視察計劃的預算開支約3億元，預期為建築業界創造約500個職位，當中包括320個專業及技術職位，以及160個文職職位。
My reply to the three parts of the question is as follows 1 The estimated expenditure of the inspection scheme is around 300 million . Some 500 jobs for the construction industry comprising 320 professional and technical jobs and 160 clerical jobs are expected to be created
這項視察計劃針對外牆排水系統，是考慮到住戶日常一般未必察覺到外牆有失修問題，而外牆排水系統又會對樓宇衞生造成較大範圍的影響。
The inspection scheme is targeted at the external drainage systems as disrepair at the external walls may not be detected by residents and the external drainage systems could create significant impacts on building hygiene
畢竟視察計劃要具針對性才能及時啟動和完成，早日回應公眾對樓宇排水系統的關注。
After all the inspection scheme has to be targeted so that it could be commenced timely and completed in time to swiftly address public concerns on building drainage systems
雖然如此，政府明白有些業主可能因缺乏經濟能力、技術知識及/或籌組能 力，難以履行保養其物業的責任。
Nevertheless the Government recognizes that some owners may have genuine difficulties in fulfilling their responsibility in maintaining their properties due to lack of financial means technical knowledge andor organization ability
因此，除按相關法規採取執法行動以確保業主履行其法定責任外，政府現時以不同資助及貸款計劃為私人樓宇業主提供維修及保養物業的財政支援，包括樓宇的排水系統。
Therefore apart from taking enforcement action to ensure that building owners would discharge their statutory responsibilities the Government has also provided financial assistance to owners of private buildings to maintain and repair their buildings including building drainage systems through various assistance and loan schemes
其實，經過數個月的光景，截至今天，我們已批出當中超過一半的工程項目，餘下的項目亦全部進入招標程序。
In fact over the last few months we have as at today already awarded contracts for over half of the public works projects while the remaining projects have all entered the tendering procedures
基於混凝土材料混合後會在一定時間內凝固，混凝土廠所處位置亦有地域性考慮，好讓可以適時供應混凝土予各區工地。
As fresh concrete will harden with time the locations of concrete batching plants CBPs entail a geographical consideration so that concrete could be delivered timely to construction sites in various regions
如果運送路程太遠，將影響混凝土成品的質量。
Excessive transportation distance may affect the quality of concrete
根據《空 氣污染管制條例》，該3間混凝土廠在申請指明工序牌照時，已向環保署呈交一份空氣污染控制計劃，確定混凝土廠採取最好的切實可行方法以控制污染物的排放，以達致空氣質素指標的目標及避免對附近居民構成影響。
According to the Air Pollution Control Ordinance when these three CBPs applied for SPLs they had submitted an air pollution control plan to EPD to confirm that the CBPs would adopt the best practicable measures to control pollutants emission in order to meet the air quality objectives and to avoid impact on the nearby residents
混凝土廠獲發由環保署批出的牌照後，必須遵守發牌條款的規定，包括妥善操作及嚴格執行所有空氣污染物控制設施。
After obtaining the licences issued by EPD the CBPs have to comply with the requirements of the licences including proper operation of the plants and strict compliance with the measures for controlling air pollution
環保署會不時派員到混凝土廠巡查，並在收到投訴後派員到場跟進，確保有關的廠房根據發牌條件，採取切實可行的措施，以盡量減低廠房排放塵埃對附近環境的影響。
EPD will inspect the CBPs from time to time and also follow up on - site upon receipt of complaints ensuring that the plants have taken practicable measures to minimize air pollution impact of dust caused by CBPs on the nearby environment in accordance with the requirements of the licences
鑒於鄰近居民的關注，政府剛成立了跨部門工作小組，協調對油塘混凝土廠的污染監控及推展紓緩措施，相關部門亦會加強巡查及執法。
In view of the concern of nearby residents the Government has just set up an inter - departmental working group to coordinate the pollution monitoring and implement mitigation measures to the CBPs in Yau Tong where concerned departments will intensify inspection and law enforcement
儘管這些重建項目的步伐基本由市場主導，政府難以控制，而在用地未被重新發展前，原有的用途會繼續存在，但我們認為這是 城市更新的必然新舊交替過程，社會可以討論如何加快這個過程，但我們不會將此視為規劃制度內的矛盾。
While the Government may not have control over the pace of these market - led redevelopment projects and the original use at these sites continues to exist before redevelopment we consider this as a necessary process of urban renewal to replace old with new . We can discuss how to expedite the process but should not see this as a contradiction within the town planning system
主席，香港的樓宇及基建工程均廣泛使用混凝土，因此持續穩定的混凝土供應相當重要。
President concrete is extensively used in building and infrastructure construction in Hong Kong and reliable concrete supply is very important
我們會爭取於明年完成研究，並適時公布結果。
We will strive to complete the study within next year and release the outcome in due course
篩選後，公眾填料會儲存在填料庫內，供將來再用。
After sorting the public fill is stored at the fill bank for future reuse
混凝土材料混合後會在一段短時間內凝固，必須及時運送到各區工地。
As fresh concrete will harden with time it must be delivered timely to construction sites in various regions
就混凝 土廠的選址，我們須考慮多項因素，包括對混凝土有需求的地點、土地用途的兼容性、對環境及交通的影響，以及便利混凝土廠運作的先決條件，例如臨海用地可以提供水路運送製造混凝土的各種材料，從而減低陸路交通的壓力。
As for the location of the CBP we have to consider a number of factors including locations of concrete demand compatibility of land use environmental and traffic impacts and prerequisites for facilitating the operation of the CBP such as a waterfront site to allow transportation by sea of raw materials for concrete production to avoid increasing road traffic loads
我們盼望第137區的臨時混凝土廠在2022年招標成功，並花一年半興建，在2024年投入運作。
We expect the temporary CBP at Area 137 to be operational in 2024 subject to a successful tender exercise in 2022 and 1.5 years of construction
就有關混凝土廠的運作，我們會透過合適的規管，確保混凝土廠不對附近的居民造成一些不能接受的滋擾。
We will continue to ensure that the CBPs do not cause any unacceptable nuisance to the residents in the vicinity through appropriate regulation of their operation
我要重複一點，為何不可以把全港各區的混凝土廠安置在例如第137區？
Let me repeat one point . Why cannot we resettle CBPs from across Hong Kong in say Area 137?
我們盼望此項研究在今年年底或明年年初完成，我屆時會再回來報告。
We hope to complete this study by the end of this year or early next year and I will come back to make a report then
但是，消防安全相對較受忽視，我建議當局應增加投放資源，設立專項"樓宇消防安全貸款計劃"。
However as fire safety is accorded with less importance I advise the authorities to allocate more resources and introduce a dedicated Building Fire Safety Loan Scheme
民政事務總署取得香港工程師學會、香港建築師學會及香港測量師學會的支持，在2014年4月推出"'顧問易"大廈維修諮詢服務計劃，為有意進行大廈維修工程的法團免費提供度身訂造的專業諮詢服務。
The Home Affairs Department in collaboration with the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers the Hong Kong Institute of Architects and the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors launched an AP Easy Building Maintenance Advisory Service Scheme in April 2014 so as to provide free and tailor - made professional consultancy services to owners corporations intending to carry out building maintenance works
隨後，市建局於5月宣布推出"招標妥"樓宇復修促進服務先導計劃，加強對業主進行樓宇維修工程的技術支援，包括提供指引和合約樣本、安排專業人士提供獨立意見、設立電子投標平台等，並降低工程出現圍標的機會。
URA subsequently announced the introduction of the Smart Tender Building Rehabilitation Facilitating Services Pilot Scheme in May so as to enhance technical support for owners to carry out building maintenance works including providing guidelines and contract samples arranging professionals to provide independent advice and establishing an electronic tendering platform with a view to reducing the risk of bid - rigging in project works
可惜，因議會"拉布"而未能恢復二讀，以致整項《條例草案》要推倒重來，浪費社會各界的心血，我與工程業界人士均感到憤慨及無奈。
As a result the Bill was negatived and efforts were made in vain by various social sectors . My peers in the engineering sector and I were infuriated and felt helpless
自2007年7月起生效的《消防安全條例》規定，於1987年3月1日或之前建成或首次呈交建築圖則的綜合及住用樓宇，必須提升至切合現代要求的防火保障。
The Fire Safety Buildings Ordinance which came into operation in July 2007 stipulates that the fire protection of composite and domestic buildings which were constructed on or before 1 March 1987 or the building works plans for which were first submitted on or before that day must be enhanced to meet the current requirements
相關樓宇的擁有人或佔用人須遵從當局發出的消防安全指示，委聘註冊工程承辦商，提供或改善消防設備，或進行指定的消防安全建築工程，否則即屬違法。
The owners or occupiers of the relevant buildings must comply with fire safety directions directions issued by the authorities and appoint registered general building contractors for the provision of or improvement on fire service equipment or the implementation of designated fire safety construction works; otherwise they will be guilty of an offence
現屆特區政府的一些施政範疇表現未盡人意，除了議會"拉布"等政治因素之外，恐怕亦有制度和架構上的原因。
The performance of the current - term Government in certain policy areas has been less than satisfactory . Apart from political factors such as filibuster in the Council I am afraid there may also be structural and organizational factors
人力培訓是另一個例子。
Manpower training is another example
不過，目前有關範疇分別由教育局，以及勞工及福利局負責，前者負責資歷架構和職業專才教育，後者負責僱員培訓和持續進修。
But the relevant policy areas are now separately handled by the Education Bureau and the Labour and Welfare Bureau . The former is responsible for the qualification framework in addition to vocational and professional education while the latter is responsible for employee retraining and continuing education
當時工商專業界普遍支持方案，認為可以加強協調政策的制訂和推行，並且有利香港的經濟和產業發展。
At that time the business sector generally supported the proposal considering it conducive to enhancing the coordination of policy formulation and implementation and beneficial to the economic and industrial development in Hong Kong
怪論之一是認為特區政府在工務工程方面的資源投放持續大幅膨脹；另一項奇談是，認為特區政府推動的基建項 目都是"大白象"工程，等於將納稅人的錢倒入鹹水海。
One of the arguments holds that the Governments investment in public works continues to increase substantially; another one accuses all the infrastructure projects put forward by the Government of being white elephant projects no different from dumping taxpayers money into the sea
我認為，只要列舉一些簡單的數據和事實，類似的奇談怪論可不攻自破。
In my opinion such absurb arguments do not hold water when pitched against some simple data and facts
主席，我發言代表經民聯支持整體通過《2017年撥款條例草案》。
Chairman on behalf of the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong BPA I rise to speak in support of the passage of the Appropriation Bill 2017 the Bill
其後再逐漸回升至年均約700億元。
The figure then gradually increased to an annual average of about 70 billion
目前，建造業佔本地生產總值的百分比約在4%以下，較鄰近經濟體如新加坡、日本、澳洲低。
At present the construction industry accounts for less than 4 % of our Gross Domestic Product a ratio which is lower than that in neighbouring economies such as Singapore Japan and Australia
事實上，建造業從業員共約45萬人，包括33萬名註冊工人、8萬名專業及管理人員、4萬名技術支援及文職人員，連同他們的家庭，涉及百萬名市民的生計。
In fact about 450 000 people are engaged in the construction industry including 330 000 registered workers 80 000 professional and management personnel and 40 000 technical support and clerical staff . Together with their family members the livelihood of a million people is at stake
可惜，自2013年起，已連續5年有非建制派議員動議大量修正案，阻延《撥款條例草案》通過。
Unfortunately for five years in a row since 2013 Members of the non - establishment camp have moved a substantial number of Committee stage amendments CSAs to delay the passage of the Appropriation Bill
主席，還有一些項目更牽涉長遠規劃的策略性研究。
Chairman there are some other projects which involve strategic studies on long - term planning
由於"拉布"持續，本年度財務委員會除了124億元基本工程儲備基金整體撥款之外，至今只通過3項新工程項目，涉及17億元撥款，只佔政府原本計劃在本年度申請的新工程撥款總額大約2%。
As a result of continued filibustering apart from the 12.4 billion block allocations under CWRF the Finance Committee has only passed three new works projects this year involving 1.7 billion and representing only 2 % of the total provision for new public works for which the Government plans to make applications this year
本會在昨天及今早，已就這些修正案表決，並全部不獲通過。
This Council voted on these CSAs yesterday and this morning and none of them was passed
主席、行政長官，本港整體的泊車位低於車輛總數，當中以商業車輛車位的短缺尤甚。
President Chief Executive the number of car parking spaces is generally lower than the total number of vehicles in Hong Kong and the shortage of car parking spaces for commercial vehicles is particularly serious
過往10年，車輛數目平均每年增長高達3%，但泊車位的相應增長率只有0.9%，顯示泊車位供不應求的情況越來越嚴重。
While the number of vehicles has been growing at a high average rate of 3 % per annum over the past decade the corresponding increase in car parking provision is growing at only 0.9 % indicating that the undersupply of parking spaces is increasingly serious
六年多以來，我在立法會參與審議政府不同的新建築物及各種設施，一個經常受議員批評的設計問題，就是沒有利用機會增加泊車位。
Over the past six years or so I have been involved in examining in the Legislative Council different new buildings and various facilities of the Government . There is a design problem which is always subject to Members criticisms ie . failure to seize the chances to provide more car parking spaces
行政長官在2018年施政報告中提出需要提供更多泊車位，以回應社會的訴求。
The Chief Executive proposes in her Policy Address 2018 that more parking spaces should be provided to respond to public aspirations
正如石禮謙議員所說般，政府不要跌入"新三民主義"的樊籠中。
As Mr Abraham SHEK said just now the Government should not be shackled by the three new principles of the people namely public opinion populism and popularity
經民聯歡迎政府採納我們的建議，為企業合資格的研發開支提供兩級制的額外稅務扣減，以鼓勵更多企業投入研發。
BPA welcomes the Government in taking on board our proposal of providing a two - tiered enhanced tax deduction for eligible research and development expenditure of enterprises as a means of encouraging more enterprises to engage in research and development
當局在2016年以先導形式推出5億元的科技券計劃，已經批出的資助額佔撥款總額不足三成。
The authorities introduced the Technology Voucher Programme with 500 million on a pilot basis in 2016 and the subsidy amount that has been approved accounts for less than 30 % of the total funding amount
代理主席，平心而論，本年的財政預算案在推動創新科技發展、支援中小型企業、減輕中產負擔、培育人才及醫療安老等方面推出一系列措施，或多或少惠及工商界、中產人士和基層市民。
Deputy President in all fairness the series of measures rolled out in the Budget of this year for promoting innovation and technology development supporting small and medium enterprises reducing the burden on middle - class people nurturing talents health care and elderly care can more or less benefit the industrial and business sector the middle class and also the grass roots
當局在2018年6月以先導形式推出為期3年、每年名額1,000個的科技人才入境計劃，但至今只批出約200個名額，而實際入境的人才只有數十人。
In June 2018 the authorities rolled out the Technology Talent Admission Scheme with an annual quota of 1 000 on a three - year trial basis . But since then only 200 places have been approved and the actual number of talents entering the territory merely stands at a few dozens
我認為，當局應放寬上述各項計劃的申請資格及名額，並且必須惠及全港的創新科技企業，而並非只是科學園和數碼港的公司。
In my view the authorities should relax the eligibility for applications under the above schemes and their quotas to the extent that they must benefit all innovation and technology enterprises in Hong Kong rather than only those companies in the Science Park and Cyberport
政府亦應容許在特別情況下個別審批除指定大學外有實際經驗的人才，以配合創新科技產業的多元化發展。
Under exceptional circumstances the Government should likewise allow the separate vetting and approval of applications from talents with practical experience other than those from specified universities so as to dovetail with the diversified development of the innovation and technology industry
代理主席，香港未來的出路肯定在於積極參與區域發展，發揮"國家所需，香港所長"的優勢，及時把握大灣區發展及"一帶一路"倡議帶來的機遇。
Deputy President the way forward for Hong Kong definitely hinges on its active participation in regional development with its advantage of meeting the countrys needs with its strengths and its timely grasp of the opportunities presented by the development of the Greater Bay Area and the Belt and Road Initiative
至於本港某些社會人士的所謂"香港被規劃論"，實在不值一駁。
As for the talks about Hong Kong under others planning advocated by certain community figures in Hong Kong I will not bother to make any rebuttals
所謂"不進則退"，香港沒有條件故步自封。
Hong Kong cannot afford to reject progress
代理主席，財政司司長在預算案中表示，會在資源上全力配合一系列短期、中期及長期措施，增加土地及房屋供應。
Deputy President the Financial Secretary asserts in the Budget that adequate resources will be provided to support fully the short medium and long - term measures to increase land and housing supply
