警務人員只有在必須的情況下，才會使用適當武力。
Police officers will use minimum force as appropriate only when it is necessary
警務人員在使用武力前，會在情況許可下盡量發出警告，並在可行範圍內，讓對方有機會服從警方命令，才會使用武力。
Police officers shall give warnings prior to the use of such force as far as circumstances permit while the persons involved shall be given every opportunity where practicable to obey police orders before force is used
當使用武力的目的已經達到的時候，警方會停止使用武力。
Once the purpose of using force is achieved the Police will cease the use of force
在6月12日，經過多次勸諭及警告無效後，警方因應當時實際環境、整體情況及行動需要，經過他們的專業評估，決定使用相應的武力驅散人群、控制場面，包括使用警棍、胡椒噴劑、催淚水劑、布袋彈、橡膠子彈和催淚煙等。
On 12 June after repeated ineffective advices and warnings the Police having regard to the actual circumstances the overall situation and operational needs and based on their professional judgment decided to use corresponding force to disperse the crowds and control the scene by using batons pepper spray pepper based solution bean bag rounds rubber bullets and tear gas etc
警方行動的目的是為了令公共安全及公共秩序免受進一步破壞，以及保護在場人士的安全，是合法，合理和需要的。
The objective was to prevent further disruption of public safety and public order and protect the safety of people at the scene . The Polices action was lawful reasonable and necessary
尹議員議案中提及將當天示威定性為暴動的說法，特區政府沒有為6月12日在金鐘一帶發生的事作出所謂定性。
Mr WAN mentioned in his motion the classification of the protest on that day as a riot . The SAR Government did not classify the event that happened in the vicinity of Admiralty on 12 June as a riot
政府已多次解釋，警務處處長當時用"暴動"來形容部分暴力人士用各種武器刻意攻擊執勤警務人員的行為。
The Government has repeatedly explained that the Commissioner of Police used the term riot to describe the acts of some violent protesters who deliberately attacked the police officers on duty with various weapons
這些描述並不影響日後的檢控決定。
Such a description will not affect the future prosecution decisions
檢控工作完全取決於調查後所搜集到的證據，並在徵詢法律意見時，由律政司按《檢控守則》作出決定。
The prosecution solely depends on the evidence collected during investigation and when legal advice is sought the Department of Justice will make a decision in accordance with the Prosecution Code
今天的辯論中有兩項議案指警方襲擊記者。
In todays debate two motions accuse the Police of assaulting reporters
主席，任何指控必須基於證據，任何人不滿意警方可作出投訴，現行的投訴機制都基於事實及證據公平公正處理。
President accusations must base on evidence . Anyone who is dissatisfied with the Police may lodge a complaint and the present complaint system deals with all complaints fairly and impartially on the basis of facts and evidence
警方有法定責任維護法紀、公共安全和公共秩序等，這是法律上要求警方履行的職責。
It is the statutory duty of the Police to uphold the law and maintain public safety and public order . The Police are required by the law to discharge these duties
因此，傳媒和警方都有各自的責任，雙方互相理解，互相配合，對各自的工作都有幫助。
The media and the Police have their respective responsibilities and mutual understanding and cooperation will benefit both sides in their respective work
在此基礎上，警方亦一直在不影響行動的前提下，盡可能協助傳媒的採訪工作。
On this basis the Police will on the premise of not affecting their action endeavour to assist media reporting as far as possible
警隊已制訂相關指引，供人員在公眾活動或其他警方行動期間，透過傳媒機構或組織發出的證件或文件，識別和核實傳媒工作者的身份。
The Police have formulated relevant guidelines for police officers to identify and verify the identity of media practitioners during public order events or other police operations with the proof of identity or documents issued by media organizations or associations
我呼籲，傳媒工作者在採訪公眾活動期間，應隨身帶備記者證件或公司證明文件，或穿上易於識別的服飾及配戴臂章，以便現場警務人員識別。
I call upon media practitioners that they should when covering public order events bring along the proof of identity of reporters or testimonials issued by their companies and wear easily recognizable clothing and armbands for easy recognition by police officers at the scene
警方在需要時會調派傳媒聯絡隊到現場，提供便利和協助。
The Police will deploy Force Media Liaison Cadre members to the scene to provide facilitation and assistance to media practitioners as necessary
在大型公眾活動中，警方會因應事態發展，適時透過不同媒體向公眾發放有關信息，提醒市民注意安全，提高自我保護意識。
In any large - scale public order event the Police will in light of its development disseminate timely messages to the public through various media to remind them to pay attention to personal safety and enhance their awareness of self - protection
在場的市民亦應聽從現場警務人員的指示。
Members of the public including media practitioners should comply with the instructions of police officers at the scene
我們理解有傳媒工作者對於警方當天行動所表達的關注。
We understand the concerns of some media practitioners about the Polices actions that day
我重申，警方重視和傳媒的關係，會盡量容許和配合傳媒的採訪。
I reiterate that the Police attach importance to their relation with the media and will allow and facilitate media reporting as far as possible
譚議員和郭議員的議案質疑警方在公立醫院拘捕受傷的示威人士，並涉嫌未經授權進入醫院管理局的電腦系統取得示威人士受傷的資料。
In their motions Mr TAM and Dr KWOK query the Polices arrest of injured protesters in public hospitals and the alleged unauthorized access to the computer system of the Hospital Authority HA to obtain information of the people injured in the protests
我首先要清楚指出，警方有法定責任防止和偵查罪案，而醫護人員則有責任拯救傷病者。
First of all I must make it clear that the Police have a statutory duty to prevent and investigate offences while medical workers have the duty to save the injured and the sick
警方會盡力協助所有救護服務，確保傷者可以盡快得到治療。
The Police will strive to assist all medical services to ensure that the injured will receive treatment as soon as possible
警方和醫護人員一直在互相理解、互相體諒的基礎上，各司其職，這樣是符合公眾利益的。一般而言，在急症室有警員當值。
The Police and medical workers have always played their respective roles on the basis of mutual understanding and respect which is in the interest of the public
主席，你好，表決鐘鳴響時間由5分鐘減到1分鐘是例行公事，但我為何反對？
Chairman how are you? . It is a routine business to shorten the duration of the division bell from five minutes to one minute why then why do I raise objection?
第一，就是很多建制派議員都覺得，在1分鐘之間走來走去很辛苦，這不是我杜撰出來的，最少有一半人曾向我埋怨過，就是在1分鐘內不管去那邊或這邊的洗手間，都怕會扭傷腳。
First many pro - establishment Members also find it tiring to run around in one minute . I do not make this up . At least half of the Members have complained to me that they are afraid of spraining their ankles while running to the toilet either on this side or on that side in a minute
各梯階之間距離又闊，我覺得要在1分鐘內跑回來，是不人道的。
As the steps of the stairs are wide apart I think it is inhumane to ask us to run back within one minute
老實說，現在你"裁布"裁到已經有很充裕時間，何不將這1分鐘時間作合理延伸？
Honestly speaking now that you have tailored the filibuster we have ample time . Why not reasonably extend the one - minute time limit?
我記得，陳志全議員表演過在1分鐘內跑回來，但只是陳志全議員可以，葛珮帆議員未必可以。
I recall that Mr CHAN Chi - chuen once demonstrated that he could run back in one minute . While Mr CHAN Chi - chuen can do so it does not mean that Dr Elizabeth QUAT can do the same
要不因為坐得太久令身體出現殘缺，要不患上思覺失調症，連改了文件都不知道，照樣傳真出去，好像周浩鼎議員，他承受的壓力非常大。
If we do not suffer from physical disabilities due to prolonged sitting we might suffer from early psychosis as we did not realize that the document has been amended and still faxed it to other people just like what Mr Holden CHOW has done . He must have been under great pressure
至於改為多少時間，各黨派可要求主席撥出5分鐘讓他們出去開會，研究一下究竟要1分半鐘，還是兩分鐘較合適。
As for how long the duration of the division bell should be various political parties and groupings can ask the Chairman to suspend the meeting for five minutes so that they can hold a meeting outside to decide whether it is more appropriate to extend the duration to one and a half minutes or two minutes
主席，我明白你的苦心，為了節省立法會的開會時間，你可說是已克盡所能。
Chairman I understand your kind intention . You have taken great pains to save the meeting time of the Legislative Council
主席，我知道你作出這個裁決後，我們不能反對。不過，我要謙卑地向你陳述，我們的議會是向公眾開放的，而公眾不會上網看我們的文稿去了解我們投甚麼票。
Chairman while we cannot object to your decision I must humbly draw your attention that our meetings are open to the public and members of the public will not look up our scripts and papers on the Internet to see what we are voting for
所以，如果你不讓議員讀出修正案，其實會減少公眾的知情權。
Hence if you do not allow Members to read out the contents of the amendments you are in fact limiting the publics right to know
實際上，這亦與我們由立法局到立法會，一直秉持向社會開放的原則背道而馳。
As a matter of fact it also goes against the principle all along upheld by the Legislative Council of being open to the public . Fellow Members previously there was no live television broadcast of our meetings
各位，以前是沒有電視直播的，後來才有，以前我看立法局的會議，要買《華僑日報》，因為《華僑日報》報道得最詳盡，我年輕時看倪少傑等的發言，讀他的文章，他的文采不錯，我獲益不少。
It was only available much later . If I wanted to learn about the news concerning the former Legislative Council I had to read Wah Kiu Yat Po because its reports were most detailed . When I was young I liked to read the speeches and articles of Members such as NGAI Shiu - kit
正如聖經所說，讓聽不到的聽到，看不見的看到，令癱子的行走。
As stated in the Bible let those who cannot hear hear let those who cannot see see and let the cripple walk
當然，智慧有不同程度，不過，我希望聽到我謙卑陳述後，主席會收回成命。
Of course there are different levels of wisdom . I hope that the Chairman will withdraw the decision after hearing my humble representation
各位建制派議員，我知道有人協調你們表決，但是在一些小事上，你們也要發聲，否則這個議會只會越做越差。
Fellow Members of the pro - establishment camp I know that someone is coordinating your voting but you have to voice out your views even on trivial matters . Otherwise the performance of this Council will just continue to deteriorate
我絕不認為本會因為主席管理不佳，被議員浪費時間，現在問題是甚麼？
I do not think that the Chairman does a poor job in management and allows Members to waste the time . What is the problem then?
便是很大程度上，政府接受我們問責質詢的時間不夠，令我們無從問責，浪費了一些時間。
The problem is that to a great extent we do not have enough time to put questions to the Government which deprives us of the chance to hold it accountable and as a result our time is wasted
如果響鐘1分鐘對大家的身體、心智，以至投票的本意造成損害，我認為我有責任反對這種苛政。
If ringing the division bell for one minute will be detrimental to Members physical and mental well - being so much so that it will distort Members original voting intent then I think I have the responsibility to fight against this harsh policy
所以，我希望大家贊成我的意見，之後各黨各派再用10分鐘進行政治協商，決定究竟應響鐘1分鐘、1分半鐘、兩分鐘，還是兩分半鐘？
Hence I hope that everyone will agree with me . Various political parties and groupings can later spend 10 minutes to conduct a political consultation to decide whether the division bell should be rung for one minute one and a half minutes two minutes or two and half minutes
這是議會的基本功能，即我們要根據自己的良知、自己的需要，以及對選民負責而投票。
This is the basic function of this Council . We should vote according to our conscience our needs and our responsibility towards our voters
首先，我們這次討論的事情非常嚴肅，亦非常嚴重。
First of all the issues under discussion this time around are very serious and very important
討論財政預算案，是討論政府未來的開支。
Discussions on the Budget are discussions on the future expenditures of the Government
大家都知道，人是萬物之靈，而根據中國傳統哲學，人禽之辨在於人有仁義禮智。
As we all know human beings are the wisest of all creatures
在此，我要為建制派同事平反。
Here I have to redress wrongs done to pro - establishment Members
我們有100多項修正案，這是一個龐大數字。
We have proposed 100 - odd amendments which is a large number
一個正常人不可能把100多項修正案的內容全部記進腦中，亦難以在仔細閱畢每項修正案的內容後，預先編排出對每項修正案的立場。
A normal person cannot possibly remember all the contents of these amendments and it will be difficult for a Member to list hisher position on each amendment after reading the contents carefully
基於這個前提，我相信議員需要更多時間思考每項修正案的意義，以及對每項修正案的立場。
On this premise I believe Members need more time to consider the contents of each amendment and decide on their positions
不同議員思考同一項修正案的角度，可能很不一樣，可以很簡單，也可以很複雜。
Different Members may consider an amendment from very different perspectives . While some perspectives may be very simple others may be very complex
舉例說，陳志全議員的修正案編號1，是要削減行政長官辦公室的全年運作開支至777元。
For example Amendment No . 1 proposed by Mr CHAN Chi - chuen seeks to reduce the annual operating expenditure for the Office of the Chief Executive to 777
這可以是其中一個解讀。
That may be one interpretation
其實有很多解讀方式。
In fact there may be many interpretations
所以，如果我們要思考一項修正案的內容，可能有不同的角度，而基於修正案的確具有約束力以修正案編號1為例，它旨在削減1億多元，這是一個龐大數字我認為議員值得擁有更多時間，慢慢細心看清楚修正案的內容，然後嘗試從不同角度理解，再決定自己的表決立場。
Thus if we have to consider the contents of an amendment different perspectives may be adopted . Since the amendments will actually have a binding effect―for example Amendment No . 1 seeks to reduce more than 100 million which is a huge amount―I think Members should be given more time to consider the amendments in detail trying to understand them from different perspectives and then make a decision on their stance
第二個原因是，久而久之，縮短響鐘時間的做法可能會形成一種文化，讓人誤以為立法會議員都是投票機器，後果非常嚴重。
The second reason is that the practice of shortening the duration of the division bell may become a culture over time misleading people into thinking that all Members of the Legislative Council are voting machines . The consequences will be very serious
作為一名修讀文化研究的學生，我把文化理解為一個人在日常生活中的行為。
As a student studying Cultural Studies I understand that culture is the behaviour of a person in his daily life
若然如此，我們是否可合理推斷，某個派別的議員對於所有修正案都有一個先入為主的表決意向，即一定會表決贊成、反對或棄權？
As such can we reasonably infer that Members of a certain political party have a predetermined voting position on all the amendments? . That is will they definitely vote for or against the amendments or abstain from voting?
這樣會令公眾質疑，他們是否群黨結派，出席會議時只懂按下按鈕，而不會在思考後再作決定。
If so the public will wonder whether these Members have formed into an alliance and they will only press buttons at meetings instead of making decisions after giving due consideration
正如我剛才所說，縮短響鐘時間其實會給公眾一個印象，以為議員是投票機器，有既定立場，而並非打算就每 項修正案作整全深入的辯論，然後得出一個經過縝密思考的答案。
As I said earlier shortening the duration of the division bell will give the public an impression that Members are voting machines; they have predetermined voting positions and have no intention to discuss each amendment comprehensively and thoroughly before reaching a conclusion after careful thoughts
假如議員繼續以馬馬虎虎或"差不多先生"的態度，來處理現時所面對的重要議案，市民看在眼裏，未必有好的印象。
If Members continue to adopt a perfunctory attitude or the attitude of Mr Almost Good Enough in handling the important motions before us they will leave a bad impression on members of the public
我不希望這種把響鐘時間由5分鐘縮短至1分鐘的傳統，會令人以為立法會議員是一堆只會不加思索地表決的投票機器，繼而形成一種社會文化，令人覺得這是立法會議員的特質。
I do not hope that the tradition of shortening the duration of the division bell from five minutes to one minute will mislead people into thinking that Members of the Legislative Council are merely voting machines without any thoughts and subsequently a social culture is formed thereby people would consider that all Members of the Legislative Council have such attributes
在我們作出選擇時放棄的選項中價值最高的一項，就稱為"機會成本"。
When we make a choice of the items foregone by us the one with the highest value is called opportunity cost
這是一個很大的疑問。
I have great doubts about it
這不會耗費很多時間，反而會令議會工作更加透明和清晰。
That will not take a lot of time; instead it will make the work of the Legislative Council more transparent
梁議員，我今次仍會針對香港青年政策發言。
Mr LEUNG today I will still speak on Hong Kongs youth policy
我動議的修正案涉及總目53，要求削減2017-2018年度國際青年交流計劃的預算開支，約相當於290萬元。
The amendment I propose is related to head 53 which seeks to reduce the estimated expenditure on the International Youth Exchange Programme IYEP 2017 - 2018 amounting to 2.9 million
剛才劉小麗議員亦針對這些計劃提出意見，她早前亦曾提出質詢，問民政事務局增加這些內地計 劃開支的原因，局長答稱主要是因應需求增加而提供額外撥款。
Dr LAU Siu - lai has just now expressed views on those Schemes and earlier she also put a question to the Home Affairs Bureau on the reasons for increasing the expenditure on those Schemes . The Secretary said that the additional provision was provided due to the increasing demand
我想指出，政府只增加中國大陸交流團的經費，卻輕視國際交流計劃，這種厚此薄彼的做法，並不是因應任何需求而增加，而是基於政治原因，背後有很多利益轇轕。
I wish to point out while the Government increases the funding for Mainland exchange programmes it neglects the international exchange programmes . This practice of favouritism is not due to the increasing demand but due to political considerations and the interests of many parties are involved
我相信香港的青年更渴望到外國進行國際交流，對這方面的需求更大。
I believe Hong Kong youths are more eager to join overseas exchange programmes and there is a greater demand in this respect
根據青年事務委員會的資料，這計劃於1979年推出，原稱為英聯邦青年交流計劃，後來交流國家不單涵蓋英聯邦國家，亦加入其他國家，故此該計劃改為現在的名稱。
According to the information provided by the Commission on Youth IYEP was introduced in 1979 under the name of Commonwealth Exchange Programme and as its scope was later extended to cover other countries it was renamed IYEP
這些交流計劃與新聞所說的花費巨額、飲飲食食、以觀光為主的青年內地交流資助計劃，確有不同之處。
IYEP is different from the Exchange Scheme which as reported by the press mainly aims at spending huge sum of money on feasting and sightseeing
第一，當局會直接與海外國家的政府聯絡，安排青年交流活動。
Under IYEP firstly the authorities have direct contacts with the governments of the target overseas countries to organize youth exchange activities
過程中不會涉及所謂的社區組織，或香港的青年組織，減少讓人從中取利，又或達致某些政治目的機會，這是值得嘉許的。
As the so - called community organizations or youth organizations are not involved in the process the chance of allowing such organizations to reap profits or achieve certain political purposes will be reduced . That is commendable
香港當局直接與當地有關當局聯繫，確保交流計劃的質素。
With Hong Kong authorities directly contacting their counterparts in overseas countries the quality of the exchange programmes can be assured
首先，政府在本財政年度大幅增加IYEP的預算62%，達292萬元。
First of all the Government has significantly increased the estimated expenditure on IYEP by 62 % amounting to 2.92 million
當我們問其原因時，局方答稱作為香港特別行政區成立20周年慶祝活動的一部分，將會舉辦更多青年海外交流活動，讓他們到更遠國家交流，所以要花費更多金錢。
When we asked for the reasons the Bureau said that as part of the celebration activities for the 20 Anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region more international youth exchange activities would be organized allowing young people to travel to distant countries for exchanges and hence more money was needed . I am totally baffled by this answer
我相信這又不是真正 原因。
I do not believe that is the true reason
局方竟答稱是為慶回歸，以及讓青年人到更遠的地方，我相信這兩個都不是增加預算的真正原因。
The Bureaus reply was that in order to celebrate the reunification and allow young people to go to distant countries for exchanges additional provision is needed . I believe both are not the real reasons for increasing the estimates
加強道路清潔是慶回歸，到外國進行交流又是慶回歸，舉行音樂會又是慶回歸，實在是相當差勁的回應。
To enhance street cleansing service is for celebration of reunification; to conduct exchange programmes in overseas countries is for celebration of reunification; to hold concerts is also for celebration of reunification the replies are very perfunctory indeed
政府既已增撥公帑，花費近300萬元，亦引起其他的疑問，譬如青年人參加海外交流計劃時，往往涉及安全和保險問題。
Since the Government has set aside additional public funds amounting to 3 million some questions have arisen
上述都是一些審視和檢討交流計劃的基本方向，都是民政事務局一直不願意開誠布公向公眾解釋，青年交流工作的金錢如何花得其所，亦沒有清晰解釋這些交流計劃，尤其是到大陸的交流計劃，究竟意義何在？
All the above questions are related to the basic criteria for reviewing the exchange programmes but the Home Affairs Bureau has all along been reluctant to give a clear account to the public
就青年內地交流資助計劃而言，我想到一些具體例子。
In respect of the Exchange Scheme I wish to cite an example
去年一個獲批的團體，名為"聘志發展基金"，舉辦了一個"跨省文化考察義教團"，一些內地青年半年後回訪。
Last year an organization the Unleash Foundation was granted funds to organize an Inter - provincial Cultural Exchange and Voluntary Teaching tour for Hong Kong youths and some Mainland youths paid reciprocal visit to Hong Kong six months later
活動共有150人參與，花費了47萬元。
A total of 150 people participated in the activity and 470,000 was spent
同年，一個名為新界青年學會的組織，舉辦了一個名為"北京北京"的兩星期交流團，50人參加，活動相若，當局批出45萬元。
In the same year the New Territories Youth Society held a two - week exchange programme Beijing Beijing with similar activities and participated by 50 people and it received a funding of 450,000 from the authorities
其交流、觀光、考察的比例如何？
What is the ratio of activities for exchanges sightseeing and studies?
全都沒有公開文件，亦從沒有公布準則，透明度如此低，民政事務局卻沒有任何檢討及改善的意欲，每年都用類似的標準批出款項予這些社區組織。
No papers have been made public and no criteria have been announced . Despite such low transparency the Home Affairs Bureau has no intent to review or improve the present practice and it continues to grant funding to these community organizations using similar criteria
劉小麗議員指這些組織非常可疑，會否是政府撥款給自己人，"養肥"有關連的政治組織，達到政治分贓的效果？
Dr LAU Siu - lai queried about these organizations and wondered if the Government is granting money to its fellow organizations fattening political groups that are closely related to the Government and sharing political spoils with them
我相信路人皆知。
I believe the answer is obvious to all
例如"四川臥龍自然保護區青年實習計劃"及"北京故宮博物院青年實習計劃"，全都以慶回歸為名舉辦。
For example both the Sichuan Wolong Natural Reserve Internship Programme and the Beijing Palace Museum Conservation Internship Programme are organized in the name of reunification celebration
所以，我支持劉小麗議員的修正案，削減大約相當於民政事務局有關青年內地實習資助計劃的全年預算開支，同時削減我剛才提出一項關於IYEP的開支。
Hence I support Dr LAU Siu - lais amendment to reduce the Home Affairs Bureaus estimated annual expenditure on the Internship Scheme and the expenditure on IYEP that I have mentioned earlier
政府的回應只簡單指本財政年度打算用300萬元，但1億元怎樣運用？
The Government has only responded briefly saying that 3 million will be used in this financial year how about the 100 million?
政府說會在未來6年分開使用，每年會用多少？
According to the Government the money will be spent over a span of six years . But how much will be spent each year?
這正是我們追問的原因。
This is the reason why we pursue on this issue
因此，我曾提出修正案，要削減這1億元開支，但梁議員裁決指我的修正案並非針對本年度的預算開支，所以不能提出。
Therefore I had proposed an amendment to reduce the expenditure of 100 million but Mr LEUNG ruled that the amendment was not targeted at this years estimated expenditure and hence could not be proposed
主席，就第4項合併辯論中部分修正案，政府有以下回應。
Chairman with regard to certain amendments in relation to the fourth debate session the response of the Government is as follows . The Government rejects Amendment No
議員提及的助理署長的主要職責，是督導環境評估科的工作，包括評估各項政策和計劃的環境影響、處理根據《環境影響評估條例》提交的環評程序申請事宜，並制訂環境影響評估和環境噪 音管理政策。
As mentioned by Members Assistant Director of Environmental Protection has the duties to direct the work of the Environmental Assessment Division including assessing the environmental impact of various policies and programmes handling applications in relation to environmental procedures lodged under the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance and formulate policies on Environmental Impact Assessment and environmental noise management
如果削減總目44下用以支付上述兩個職位的薪酬預算開支，將會令環保署無法繼續推展相關工作，嚴重影響環保署履行保護香港環境的職責。
Cutting the estimated expenditure on the emoluments for the above two posts under head 44 will render EPD incapable to continue carrying out the duties concerned seriously affecting EPDs duties to protect Hong Kongs environment
因此，我們不同意有關削減建議。
Therefore we do not agree to the proposal concerned . The Government rejects Amendment No
有關"總目60路政署"的修正案編號60。就陳志全議員提出削減總目60下路政署港珠澳大橋香港工程管理處全年預算運作開支的修正案，政府表示反對。
60 proposed by Mr CHAN Chi - chuen in respect of Head 60―Highways Department which seeks to cut the annual estimated expenditure on the operation of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge Hong Kong Project Management Office under the Highways Department under head 60
工程管理處的功能和職務是必須和重要的。
The functions and duties of the Project Management Office are important and necessary
削減工程管理處的全年預算運作開支將會嚴重影響該處的正常運作和上述工程項目的推展，社會將要為工程項目未能及早完工而付出沉重代價。
Cutting the annual estimated expenditure on the operations of the Project Management Office will severely disturb its normal operation and the progress of the above projects and society will bear the heavy cost of a failure to complete the projects as soon as practicable . The Government rejects Amendment No
房屋是影響社會各階層的重要民生問題，政府一直致力落實各項政策和措施，從根本解決房屋問題。
Housing is an important livelihood issue affecting all strata of society . The Government has been working with hard effort to implement various policies and measures with an aim to resolve root cause of the housing problem
經過公眾諮詢，政府在2014年制訂《長遠房屋策略》，確定供應主導原則，新增公私營房屋供應為60：40之比，以及重建房屋階梯，從根本滿足社會各階層在長遠住屋的需要。
After public consultation the Government formulated the Long Term Housing Strategy in 2014 affirming a supply - led principle setting the new public and private housing supply at the ratio of 60col40 and rebuilding the housing ladder with a view to addressing the long - term housing needs of different sectors of the community at root
公營房屋方面，政府會繼續持續加大供應，亦會推出各項資助房屋計劃，以促進公營房屋的流轉。
In the case of public housing the Government will continue increasing supply and roll out different subsidized housing programme to facilitate public housing circulation
私營房屋方面，政府推出多輪需求管理措施，以遏抑樓市亢奮，打擊短期炒賣，限制外來和本地投資需求，優先照顧本地自居自用的需要。
In relation to private housing the Government has introduced several rounds of demand - side management measures to address market exuberance combat short - term speculation curb local and external investment demand and accord priority to local home - ownership needs
