缺乏復職相關的法例保障，令這類問題越來越多。
The lack of legal protection for reinstatement has caused an increase in the number of such cases
上述不合理及不合法的做法，在我們的職場上仍然不斷重演。
The aforesaid malpractice which is both unreasonable and unlawful keeps on recurring in our workplace
在2012年至2016年期間，勞工處5年內處理了25宗類似個案，即平均每年大約5宗。
LD handled 25 cases of similar nature in the five years between 2012 and 2016 . In other words it dealt with an average of about five cases per year
我們百思不得其解。
We really cannot understand why
該25宗個案的申索結果顯示，暫時沒有任何個案的僱員能夠復職，13宗個案的僱員因為勞工處調停而不再申索，4宗個案的僱傭雙方最終同意以金錢解決糾紛。
Among those 25 cases there have not been any successful cases of reinstatement so far; there were 13 cases in which the employees agreed not to proceed with their claims after the mediation of LD; and there were four cases where the employers and the employees eventually agreed to settle the disputes with pecuniary compensation
現行法例的安排並不理想，即使僱員希望復職，也會因為僱主不同意而不能復職。
The arrangement under the current legislation is unsatisfactory because without the consent of the employer the employee can never be reinstated as heshe wishes
再者，僱主不讓僱員復職無須作出任何補償。
Moreover the employer is not required to make any compensation for not consenting to the reinstatement
今天所審議有關復職令的《條例草案》，正好補足現行法例。
The Bill under scrutiny today concerns reinstatement orders and can make up for the inadequacies of the current legislation
《條例草案》提供法律途徑，讓遭受不合理及不合法解僱的僱員不但可要求復職，而且復職無須僱主同意。
It does not only offer a legal channel for employees to request reinstatement after unreasonable and unlawful dismissal; more importantly it allows reinstatement without the consent of employers
這筆款項加上現行法例規定僱主支付的終止僱傭金，以及一筆不超過150,000元的補償金，雖然並非很大的補償，但也算是對僱員的一種保障。
This sum as well as the terminal payments and the compensation not exceeding 150,000 are required to be paid by employers under the current legislation . Though the amount of compensation is not huge it can be considered as a kind of protection to employees
今次修例確實能夠改善原有復職令的缺陷，因為由勞資審裁處作出的復職令具有命令效果，徹底改善過往由僱主決定是否接受復職令的安排。
This legislative amendment is going to make a real enhancement to the original reinstatement orders since the reinstatement orders made by the Labour Tribunal in future will have the true effect of orders completely fixing the old problem of allowing employers to decide whether to accept the reinstatement orders or not
如果僱主拒絕遵行復職令，便須作出補償，此規定可彌補現行法例的不足。
Any employers who refuse to comply with the reinstatement order will be required to make compensation . This requirement can make up the inadequacies of the current legislation
或許會有僱主擔心，由勞審處作出僱員的復職決定未必適合。
Some employers may worry that the Labour Tribunal may not be in the best position to rule on the reinstatement of employees
但是，勞審處在作出裁定前，會考慮每宗個案的情況和因素，僱主和僱員可各自向勞審處陳述其觀點，讓勞審處考慮。
However before making a ruling the Labour Tribunal will consider the merits of each case . The employer and the employee in question may illustrate their viewpoints to the Tribunal separately for its consideration
勞工處亦會從中調停，待僱傭雙方同意後，才向勞審處提交報告。
LD will also mediate the dispute and submit its report to the Labour Tribunal upon the agreement of the employer and the employee
只要僱主沒有違法解僱僱員，根本不會出現與復職令有關的申索。
Without unlawful dismissal no claims will arise from the reinstatement order
況且，如有爭議，審理和裁決工作會由勞審處處理，勞審處不會只聽一面之詞，而是會考慮雙方的理據。
Besides in case of disputes the Labour Tribunal will be responsible for conducting the trial and making a ruling . It will not just listen to one - sided claims; instead it will consider the justifications raised by both parties
所以，那些出來指手劃腳的人，其實是在護短，立心不良，為無良僱主發言。
Therefore people who come out to point their fingers are indeed speaking for the unscrupulous employers with the ill - intention of covering up their faults
代理主席，法例賦予僱員的保障，應該與時並進。
Deputy President legal protection for employees should keep up with the times
復職令經過20年才能前行一步，僱員已經等了太久。
It has taken 20 years for the reinstatement order to take a step forward and employees have been waiting far too long
我們期望《條例草案》能夠盡快順利通過。
We hope that the Bill can be passed smoothly as soon as possible
我謹此陳辭，希望大家支持《條例草案》。
I so submit and urge Members to support the Bill

代理主席，我動議講稿附錄我的修正案，把《2018年稅務條例草案》的"附表44"修正為"附表43"。
Deputy Chairman I move my amendments as set out in the Appendix to the Script to amend Schedule 44 to the Inland Revenue Amendment Bill 2018 Bill to Schedule 43
法案委員會對有關修正案並無異議。
The Bills Committee had no objection to the amendments
這項修正案純粹技術性，並不會改變有關《條例草案》的涵義。
The amendments are purely technical in nature and will not change the essence of the Bill
代理主席，我懇請各位委員支持政府提出的修正案。
Deputy Chairman I urge Members to support the amendments proposed by the Government
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：財經事務及庫務局局長動議的修正案，予以通過。

我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：經修正的第9及16條納入本條例草案。
I now put the question to you and that is That clauses 9 and 16 as amended stand part of the Bill
全體委員會已完成審議《2018年稅務條例草案》的所有程序。現在回復為立法會。
All the proceedings on the Inland Revenue Amendment Bill 2018 have been concluded in committee of the whole Council
主席，關乎復職令的《2017年僱傭條例草案》經歷多年，可說是好事多磨，波折重重，終於提交立法會恢復二讀，我們不希望再橫生枝節，希望《條例草案》在本星期的立法會會議上順利通過。
President as good things take time the Employment Amendment Bill 2017 the Bill concerning the order for reinstatement has ultimately been tabled in the Legislative Council for resumption of Second Reading after years of twists and turns . We hope that no further obstacles will arise and the Bill will be passed smoothly at the Legislative Council meeting this week
在現行《僱傭條例》下，僱員如被不合理及不合法解僱，可要求復職或再次聘用，但問題是即使勞資審裁處頒布復職令，仍要獲得僱主同意，僱員才可復職。
Under the existing Employment Ordinance an employee who has been unreasonably and unlawfully dismissed may seek reinstatement or re - engagement but the problem is that the Labour Tribunal needs to first secure the employers agreement before making an order for reinstatement
因此，現行法例確實有很大漏洞，只是"無牙老虎"。
For this reason the existing law has indeed a large loophole and is only a toothless tiger
法例在1997年6月生效，因為要獲僱主同意，所以僱員成功復職的比率極低。
The law came into effect in June 1997 . Since employers agreement must be secured the percentage of employees being successfully reinstated was extremely low
政府文件顯示，在2012年至2016年的5年間，因為"不合理及不合法解僱"而要求復職的申索有25宗，卻沒有一宗成功個案，所以現時問題確實存在。
As indicated in government papers during the five - year period from 2012 to 2016 there were 25 claims for reinstatement made by employees who had been unreasonably and unlawfully dismissed but none of such claims was successful . As such there is indeed a problem
為糾正這個問題，勞工顧問委員會曾多番討論，並作出公眾諮詢，終於取得共識。
In order to rectify this problem the Labour Advisory Board LAB held rounds of discussions and public consultations before reaching a consensus
政府向立法會提交《2016年僱傭條例草案》，訂明勞資審裁處作出復職的命令時，無須僱主同意，僱員也可復職；如果僱主仍然拒絕，須支付等於僱員3個月薪金的額外款項，而上限是5萬元。
The Government tabled in the Legislative Council the Employment Amendment Bill 2016 which provided that the Labour Tribunal was empowered to make an order for reinstating the employee without having to first secure the employers agreement . Should the employer fail to comply with the order he has to pay to the employee a further sum three times the employees average monthly wages subject to a ceiling of 50,000
由於此上限已是在多年前訂立，金額過低，所以政府再次提交建議予勞顧會討論，經過一輪討論後，在2016年9月再次達致共識，把上限提升至72,500元。
Since the ceiling was set years ago and the amount was too low the Government submitted another proposal to LAB for discussion and after a round of discussion a consensus was again reached in September 2016 to raise the ceiling to 72,500
勞工權益，沒有最好，只有更好，須不停完善。
When it comes to labour rights and interests better is better than best and we need to seek improvements constantly
我是勞工團體的一員，是勞工界議員，當然明白這個原則。
As a member of a labour group and a Member from the labour sector I certainly understand this principle
張超雄議員提出修正案，要求將額外款項的款額從僱員每月平均工資的3倍增至6倍、取消72,500元的上限，以及規定復職與否完全由僱員決定，不能由僱主付 款便解決。
Dr Fernando CHEUNGs amendments seek to increase the further sum from three times the employees average monthly wages to six times remove the ceiling of 72,500 and stipulate that reinstatement or otherwise should be decided solely by the employee and the employer cannot pay money to evade reinstatement
原則上，這些修正案聽起來沒有問題，但我必須解釋我們不支持這些修正案的原因。
These amendments may seem alright but I must explain why we do not support them
第一，勉強復職對僱員是否一定是好事呢？
First will it be desirable for an employee to be reinstated reluctantly?
正如俗語有云："勉強沒有幸福"，梁耀忠議員剛才也質疑，僱主解僱僱員後再僱用，是否精神分裂。
As the saying goes reluctance will not bring happiness . Mr LEUNG Yiu - chung also queried just now whether an employer suffered from schizophrenia if he re - engaged an employee previously dismissed by him
因為如果打破信任，勞資雙方日後便更難商討。
The reason is that if there is no trust it will be even more difficult for employers and employees to negotiate in the future
我們冒被工黨或其他反對派質疑工聯會不支持這些修正案的風險，也要保持現在這個成果，保持勞資雙方將來可以繼續商討的平台。
Despite having to bear the risk of being questioned by the Labour Party and other opposition political parties for not supporting the amendments FTU still strives to maintain the negotiation results as well as the platform for future negotiation between employers and employees
香港是"一國兩制"下的資本主義社會，勞資共存，就將來的勞工法例，勞工界和商界是否仍要坐下來商討？
Under one country two systems Hong Kong is a capitalist society where employers and employees co - exist . As regards future labour laws should the labour sector and the commercial sector still have to sit down to negotiate?
勞顧會是香港最高層次的勞資雙方協商的平台，我們經常說集體談判的概念，而勞顧會正是實踐這個概念的地方。
LAB is the highest - level body for negotiations between employers and employees in Hong Kong . As we often talk about the concept of collective bargaining LAB is exactly a platform where this concept is actualized
所以，在現時香港的社會環境下，仍然保持着勞資雙方之間的共識政治、協商機制是相當重要。
As such under the existing social circumstances of Hong Kong it is very important to maintain consensus politics and a negotiating mechanism between employers and employees
我想問在法案委員會沒有提出修正案，在《條例草案》即將恢復二讀之際才突然提出修正案的同事，還要不要一個勞資可以協商的社會環境？
May I put a question to the Honourable Member who did not propose any amendments at the Bills Committee and only proposed his amendments immediately before the resumption of the Second Reading of the Bill Do we still need a social environment in which employers and employees can engage in negotiations?
是否要繼續一己獨大、自我中心、以我為尊，認為其他人不是爭取勞工權益，自己的建議才是最好的？
Should he continue to be domineering self - centred and supercilious holding that others are not striving for labour rights and interests while only his proposals are the best?
我希望有關同事會反省。
I hope this colleague will reflect on his act
有同事提到，政府上次撤回《條例草案》，是因為有新界東的補選，政府不想令代表工聯會的鄧家彪尷尬。
Some Members indicated that the Government withdrew the Bill last time because it did not want to embarrass TANG Ka - piu who represented FTU to run in the Legislative Council by - election New Territories East constituency
我覺得這種說法完全是捕風捉影、離題萬丈、扣帽子。
I think this saying is unfounded irrelevant and labelling
主席，工聯會70年來不忘初心，一步一腳印爭取勞工權益。
President over the past 70 years FTU has never forgotten its mission of steadily striving for labour rights and interests
這便是"贏了一顆糖，輸了一間廠"。我要清楚說明，工聯會今天支持勞顧會已達成共識的復職令安排，以及政府提交的《條例草案》。
I need to clearly state that FTU today supports the arrangement concerning the order for reinstatement on which a consensus has been reached by LAB as well as the Bill introduced by the Government
此外，《條例草案》亦就《僱傭條例》中，再次聘用命令有關僱主的繼承人或相聯公司的條件，作出澄清及補充。
In addition the Bill also clarifies and supplements the provisions in the Ordinance regarding the conditions of the employers successor or associated company under an order for re - engagement
根據現行《僱傭條例》第VIA部有關僱傭保障的條文，僱員如遭不合理及不合法解僱並尋求復職或再次聘用，勞審處必須取得僱主的同意，才可在其他情況符合下，作出該命令。
According to the current provisions on employment protection of Part VIA of the Ordinance if an employee has been unreasonably and unlawfully dismissed and claims for reinstatement or re - engagement the Labour Tribunal can only make such an order if consent of the employer has been secured and other conditions have been met
所以，在《條例草案》中，我們建議：在不合理及不合法解僱個案中，可取消有關必須取得僱主同意方可復職的規定。
Thus we have proposed in the Bill to abolish the requirement of consent of the employer for reinstatement of the employee in cases of unreasonable and unlawful dismissal
《條例草案》針對的，是不合理及不合法的解僱，即僱主作出的解僱不僅是不合理，更是勞工法例所規定的數種情況下所不容許的。
The Bill targets unreasonable and unlawful dismissals . In other words the dismissal by the employer should be unreasonable and has taken place under circumstances not permitted by labour legislation
雖然勞審處作出復職或再次聘用的命令時，無須先徵得僱主同意，但《條例草案》亦充分顧及僱主的情況，包括勞審處只會在裁斷作出復職或再次聘用的命令屬於恰當，並且僱主履行該命令屬合理切實可行時，才可作出該命令。
Although the Labour Tribunal is not required to secure the consent of the employer before making an order for reinstatement or re - engagement the Bill has adequately considered the circumstances of the employer . For example the Labour Tribunal will only make an order for reinstatement or re - engagement if it finds that making such an order is appropriate and compliance with it by the employer is reasonably practicable
而在作出這裁斷時，勞審處須讓僱主與僱員雙方提出各自的論點，以及考慮多項因素，包括僱主與僱員之間的關係、僱員與因該受僱的工作而有關聯的其他人士的關係、解僱的情況、僱主遵從該命令時可能面對的任何真正困難等。
Furthermore before making a finding the Labour Tribunal must give an opportunity to the employer and the employee to present each of their cases and consider a number of factors including the relationship between the employer and the employee; the relationship between the employee and other persons with whom the employee has connection in relation to the employment; the circumstances surrounding the dismissal; and any real difficulty that the employer might face in complying with the order etc
《條例草案》亦建議，就不合理及不合法解僱的個案，如僱主沒有按照勞審處的命令將僱員復職或再次聘用僱員，僱主除須按現時規定，向僱員支付勞審處所判給的終止僱傭金及補償金外，亦須向僱員另外支付一筆額外款項，款額為有關僱員月薪的3倍，上限為72,500元，亦是剛才很多議員提到的。
The Bill also proposes that in cases of unreasonable and unlawful dismissal if the employer fails to comply with an order for reinstatement or re - engagement of the employee made by the Labour Tribunal the employer must apart from paying terminal payments and the amount of compensation awarded as required under the existing provisions of the Ordinance also pay the employee a further sum three times the employees average monthly wages up to a maximum of 72,500 as many Members have mentioned
如僱主故意及無合理辯解而不支付該額外款項，則屬刑事罪行，可被檢控，一經定罪，最高刑罰同為罰款35萬元及判監3年。
If the employer wilfully and without reasonable excuse fails to pay the further sum heshe commits a criminal offence may be prosecuted and is subject to a maximum fine of 350,000 and three years imprisonment on conviction
此罰則與現時在不合理及不合法解僱的情況下，僱主不支付由勞審處判給僱員的補償金的後果一致。
The penalty is consistent with the current penalty for an employer who fails to pay the amount of compensation awarded to the employee by the Labour Tribunal in cases of unreasonable and unlawful dismissal
張超雄議員就《條例草案》提出3組全體委員會審議階段修正案，我會在稍後的階段，當張議員動議修正案時，才再逐一回應。
Dr Fernando CHEUNG has proposed three groups of Committee stage amendments . I will respond later to these amendments one by one after Dr CHEUNG has moved them
就如不少議員和黃定光議員所講到有關2016年的條例草案的始末到今時的情況，即到現時的《條例草案》中所建議的72,500元額外款項的始末，勞顧會在勞資雙方的委員經詳細考慮後，以及多次討論和協商後達成的新共識，是勞資雙方均認為合理並能平衡僱主和僱員利益的務實可行的建議。
Many Members and Mr WONG Ting - kwong mentioned the development from the 2016 Bill to the present particularly how we arrived at the amount of 72,500 for the further sum proposed in the Bill . The amount is the new consensus reached by members of LAB representing the employers and the employees after thorough consideration and numerous discussions and negotiations . It is a practical and feasible proposal which is considered reasonable by both the employers and the employees; and it strikes a balance between the interests of both sides
我要重申一點，當政府接受勞顧會的共識時，這個就是政府的立場。
I must reiterate that after the consensus of LAB has been accepted by the Government it represents the stance of the Government
這個不是勞顧會凌駕立法會的問題，這是政府的立場。
This is not a question of LAB overriding the Legislative Council . This is the stance of the Government
最後，我想稍為解釋有關僱主的繼承人或相聯公司再次聘用僱員的條文。
Finally I would like to briefly explain the provisions on re - engagement of the employee by the employers successor or associated company
這項修訂較為技術性。
The provisions are rather technical
現行《僱傭條例》第32N6條訂明，"再次聘用的命令屬飭令僱員由僱主或該僱主的繼承人或相聯公司"聘用的命令。
The existing section 32N6 of the Ordinance provides that an order for re - engagement is an order that the employee shall be engaged by the employer or by a successor of the employer or by an associated company
現時第32N3條賦權勞審處作出再次聘用命令的條文中，訂明如勞審處取得僱主與僱員的同意，須作出有關命令。
The existing section 32N3 which empowers the Labour Tribunal to make an order for re - engagement stipulates that the Labour Tribunal shall make the order after getting the agreement of the employer and the employee
然而，第32N3條並沒有就僱主的繼承人或相聯公司作出提述。
However section 32N3 does not make any reference to the employers successor or associated company
由於僱主的繼承人或相聯公司並非聆訊申索個案的一方，如何令勞審處作出的命令可包括繼承人或相聯公司，以及當勞審處作出有關再次聘用命令時，但繼承人或相聯公司沒有聘用僱員，僱主有何責任，皆存在疑問。
Given that the employers successor or associated company is not a party to the proceedings relating to the employees claim there is doubt about how an order made by the Labour Tribunal may involve a successor or associated company and if such an order is made what the liability of the employer is if the successor or associated company fails to engage the employee
我們建議修訂法例以清除上述問題，並對僱主及繼承人或相聯公司的各自責任作出所需的補充條文。
We propose that legislative amendments be made to remove the doubt and make necessary supplementary provisions on the respective obligations of the employer and the successor or the associated company
在未有得到勞顧會共識的情況下，強行把額外款項提高至有關僱員每月平均工資的6倍，並取消有關上限，會嚴重損害勞工界和商界多年來在勞顧會通過協商而構建的合作關係，對勞資關係會帶來深遠及負面的影響。
Without obtaining the consensus of LAB pressing an increase of the further sum to six times the average monthly wages of the employee and removing the relevant ceiling will seriously jeopardize the cooperative relationship between the labour sector and the business sector fostered through negotiations in LAB over the years and bring far - reaching negative impact on the labour relationship
這一點政府是難以接受的。
That is unacceptable to the Government
因此，我懇請議員通過政府提出的《條例草案》，反對張超雄議員提出的修正案。
Thus I implore Members to pass the Bill introduced by the Government and oppose Dr Fernando CHEUNGs amendments
如果議員提 出的修正案獲得通過，基於上述理由，政府不排除會考慮撤回整項《條例草案》。
If the Members amendments are passed given the reasons stated above the Government does not rule out the possibility of considering the withdrawal of the entire Bill
主席，我相信今天議員和政府都有一致的目標，就是讓《條例草案》盡快獲得通過。
President I believe Members and the Government have a common objective namely the expeditious passage of the Bill
我希望各位議員以務實的態度，在勞顧會僱主及僱員代表共識的基礎上，支持政府的建議。
I hope that Members will adopt a pragmatic approach and support the Governments proposals on the basis of the consensus reached between the representatives of the employers and the employees in LAB
為確保交通安全，青馬管制區營辦商會於強風吹襲期間在青嶼幹線及汀九橋實施強風交通管理措施。
To ensure road safety the Tsing Ma Control Area operator implements high wind management measures at the Lantau Link and the Ting Kau Bridge during strong wind conditions
強風措施包括封閉中線、降低車輛限速等。
HM measures include closure of the centre lanes lowering the speed limit for vehicles etc
據報，強風措施實施期間，青嶼幹線、汀九橋，以至葵青和荃灣一帶出現嚴重交通擠塞的情況時有發生。
It has been reported that serious traffic congestion occurred from time to time at the Lantau Link and the Ting Kau Bridge as well as in areas within and surrounding Kwai Ching and Tsuen Wan while HM measures were in force
此外，有駕駛者認為，青嶼幹線於去年8月實施雙向收費，令使用青嶼幹線往返大嶼山的車輛需在收費廣場減速或停車繳費，造成交通樽頸問題。
Furthermore some drivers opine that the two - way toll collection of the Lantau Link implemented in August last year has made it necessary for vehicles travelling to and from Lantau via the Lantau Link to slow down or stop at the toll plaza to pay the toll resulting in a traffic bottleneck
主席，為確保駕駛人士的安全，青馬管制區內的青嶼幹線和汀九橋在強風情況下，會按設定的風速分階段實施強風交通管制措施。
President to ensure the safety of motorists when high wind situations occur at the Lantau Link and Ting Kau Bridge in Tsing Ma Control Area TMCA high wind traffic management measures will be implemented in phases commensurate with prescribed wind speeds
由於實施交通管制時橋面行車線減少、車速上限下降及實施交通分流，有關引道和主要橋樑的流量無可避免會受到影響。
Since the implementation of traffic management will lead to fewer available traffic lanes on the bridge deck lowered speed limits and traffic diversion traffic flow on related approach roads and major bridges will inevitably be affected
當實施強風交通管制之前及期間，運輸署及青馬管制區管理公司按既定程序及機制，採取適當的交通管理和應變措施，以疏導交通及通知市民，在確保安全的大前提下盡量把影響減至最低。
Before and during the implementation of high wind traffic management TD and the management company of TMCA will take traffic management and contingency measures as appropriate in accordance with the established procedures and mechanism to ease traffic flow and notify the public with a view to minimizing the impact as far as practicable while ensuring the safety of motorists
因此，在青衣的交通擠塞與青嶼幹線於往機場方向實施雙向收費並無關係。
Such measures include i notify the public as early as possible at about 45 minutes in advance of the implementation of Stage I of high wind traffic management through inter alia radio and other media and the websites and mobile applications of TD public transport
主席，局長在主體答覆的第二及三部分的第一段指出，"在強風交通管制時，青嶼幹線收費廣場往機場方向的交通暢順，並無出現擠塞情況。
President the Secretary pointed out in the first paragraph of parts 2 and 3 of the main reply that the traffic to the Airport at the Lantau Link Toll Plaza remained smooth and there was no congestion during the high wind traffic management
因此，在青衣的交通擠塞與青嶼幹線於往機場方向實施雙向收費並無關係。
Therefore the traffic congestion at Tsing Yi was not related to the implementation of two - way toll collection arrangement on the Airport bound of Lantau Link
當局是否因為不想讓人看到收費廣場一帶的擠塞情況，所以索性封閉長青隧道，不讓車輛過橋？
Was the Government trying to conceal the congestion problem in the area of the Toll Plaza by closing the Cheung Tsing Tunnel to deny vehicle access to the bridge?
由於受到季候風影響，青嶼幹線及汀九橋在4月6日下午3時半左右實施第一階段的交通管制措施。
Owing to monsoon Stage I of high wind traffic management was implemented on the Lantau Link and Ting Kau Bridge at around 3col30 pm on 6 April
易受強風影響的車輛須改行青嶼幹線下層及禁止使用汀九橋，有關措施直至4月7日凌晨3時才取消。
Wind susceptible vehicles were diverted to use the lower deck of the Lantau Link and were banned from using the Ting Kau Bridge . This measure remained in force until 3col00 am on 7 April
我們已因應這些案例提出不同改善措施，希望日後的分流工作可以做得更好，並且盡早通知市民，將影響減至最低。
We have proposed various enhancement measures in response to these cases so that in future we can improve our performance on traffic diversion and expeditiously inform the public to minimize the impact
主席，我不知道局長會否為了繼續讓人看到收費廣場一帶交通暢通無阻，以後每逢實施強風交通管制等措施，便索性像上次那樣封閉長青隧道，不准車輛上橋和進入隧道。
President I am not sure whether the Secretary will as he did last time close the Cheung Tsing Tunnel in future to deny vehicle access to the bridge and the tunnel whenever traffic measures like high wind traffic management are in force so as to present to the public that traffic in the vicinity of the Toll Plaza is smooth
若是如此，運輸署屆時便可經常向傳媒展示照片，指收費廣場一帶交通暢通無阻。
If so TD can always show pictures to the press telling them that the traffic in the vicinity of the Toll Plaza is smooth
我們更已在不同的戰略點準備拖車，以便在發生意外時盡快將肇事車輛拖離現場，確保交通暢順。
We even have tow trucks standby at various strategic locations so that in case of accidents the vehicles involved can be removed from the scene quickly to ensure smooth traffic
但是，強風交通管制措施如何落實，或會因為地理環境不同而有差別，不可一概而論。
Yet due to the differences in geographical conditions the measures to be taken may vary from place to place; there is no single measure for high wind traffic management
我希望他清楚說明，港珠澳大橋會否像汀九橋及青嶼幹線般設有強風交通管制。
I want him to clearly answer whether HZMB will be subject to high wind traffic management like the Ting Kau Bridge and the Lantau Link
港珠澳大橋是一項國家級工程，橋身長達40多公里。
HZMB is a national project with a length of more than 40 km
