不過，如果當年因反對派朋友或人士大聲疾呼，以致這項安排最後沒有通過的話，這樣即使疫情退卻，香港經濟一樣難以恢復。
Had the arrangement been negatived due to the strong opposition by members of the opposition camp it would still be hard for the economy to recover even if the epidemic subsided
除了西九龍站，深圳灣口岸亦實施"一地兩檢"，相信曾在這些口岸往返香港的市民，同樣體驗到"一地兩檢"的便利。
In addition to the West Kowloon Station the co - location arrangement is implemented at the Shenzhen Bay Port too . I believe that people who have used these control points for travel before must have experienced the convenience brought by the co - location arrangement as well
今天這項議案提到將來的新皇崗口岸正是參照深圳灣口岸模式，香港口岸區將設於內地口岸旅檢大樓的其中一層，而香港的司法管轄區亦會延伸至該處，以進行清關、出入境及檢疫安排。
The new Huanggang Port mentioned in this Motion will make reference to the Shenzhen Bay Port model in the future with the Hong Kong Port Area HKPA being located on a particular floor of the passenger clearance building of the Mainland Port Area and Hong Kongs jurisdiction being extended there for customs immigration and quarantine CIQ procedures
不同的地方是落實內地跨境貨運"東進東出、西進西出"的策略，將來新的皇崗口岸主要是用作旅客通關，跨境貨車將轉用深圳灣和蓮塘/香園圍等口岸。
The difference is that the East in East out West in West out planning strategy for cross - boundary goods traffic will be implemented there with the new Huanggang Port mainly used for passenger traffic while cross - boundary goods vehicles will have to use the Shenzhen Bay Port and the LiantangHeung Yuen Wai Control Point
對於現時皇崗口岸的計劃和推展"一地兩檢"的安排，自由黨是支持的。
The Liberal Party supports the current plan for the Huanggang Port and the implementation of co - location arrangement there
事實上，該口岸在1980年代末興建和啟用，提供旅檢及貨檢服務，每天平均約有68,000人次及19,700架次車輛進出這是2019年的數字已經非常繁忙，設施亦日漸老化，隨着粵港澳大灣區發展起來，越來越多人來港，該口岸將未能進一步應付有關的需要，因此，我們確實需要增加口岸的設施。
In fact the Huanggang Port was built and commissioned in late 1980s to provide passenger and goods clearance services . On average about 68 000 passengers and 19 700 vehicles passed through the control point daily . These were the figures in 2019
新口岸落成必定會對我們有所幫助，加上香港日後需要走進國內的內循環發展軌道，毗連香港的深圳一定會成為港人經常往返內地的主要通道，"一地兩檢"通關便利，是必不可少的。
With the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area and an increasing number of people coming to Hong Kong it may not be able to cope with future needs so we must upgrade the facilities there . The new control point will benefit us for sure . Meanwhile Hong Kong will need to participate in the Mainlands new development pattern featuring dual circulation in the future therefore Shenzhen adjacent to Hong Kong will definitely become the main route for Hong Kong people to travel between Hong Kong and the Mainland
而且，現時皇崗/落馬洲口岸的旅檢大樓並非直接相連，旅客往來兩個口岸並不方便，須依靠接駁巴士；如果坐直通巴士，他們在港深兩邊口岸亦須下車辦理過關手續後才再上車，費時失事。
Thus co - location arrangement that provides clearance convenience is indispensable . At present the Huanggang Port and the Lok Ma Chau Passenger Clearance Building are not directly connected . It is inconvenient for travellers to take shuttle buses to travel between two sides; if they take cross - boundary buses they need to get off the bus and go through the clearance procedures at both sides then get on the bus again which is time - consuming and ineffective
將來，旅客可以在同一地點辦理兩地出入境清關手續，無須走太多路，我相信香港市民一定會歡迎。
In the future travellers can go through CIQ procedures at the same place without having to walk a long way . I believe that the general public will welcome such an arrangement
此外，通關效率必定會大大提升，他日來港旅客的人數亦會增加，為香港帶來更多生意，所以我相信大部分正常的香港市民都一定會支持。
With increased clearance efficiency the number of travellers coming to Hong Kong will rise correspondingly thereby bringing more businesses to Hong Kong . I believe that most ordinary Hong Kong people will support it
況且，根據香港和深圳就重建皇崗口岸達成的協議，建造工程將會由深圳承辦商負責，深圳市政府原則上亦同意承擔整個項目的費用。
Moreover according to the agreement reached by Hong Kong and Shenzhen in respect of the redevelopment of the Huanggang Port the construction work will be undertaken by Shenzhen contractors and the Shenzhen Municipal Government has agreed in principle to bear the costs of the entire project whereas the SAR Government will lease HKPA from the Shenzhen Municipal Government at an annual rental of RMB1,000
所以，我和自由黨重申，我們完全支持這個口岸的發展。
So the Liberal Party and I reiterate that we totally support the development of this control point
此外，對於這項有關推展皇崗口岸「一地兩檢」安排的後續工作的議案，我有兩個要點特別想向政府提出。
Concerning the Motion on taking forward the follow - up tasks of implementing co - location arrangement at the Huanggang Port I would like to raise two main points to the Government
第一，據政府所說，在皇崗口岸實施"一地兩檢"後，香港這邊將會騰空大約20公頃用地。
Firstly according to the Government after the implementation of co - location arrangement at the Huanggang Port about 20 hectares of land in Hong Kong will be released
20公頃用地即是多大呢？
How big is 20 hectares of land?
我希望政府好好善用這幅用地，特別是香港現時的住屋問題非常嚴重，我希望兩位局長即陳局長和黃局長認真想想，如果議案通過我相信這項議案必定會通過應怎樣使用這幅用地。
I hope the Government can make good use of the land to be released especially when Hong Kong is facing acute housing problems . I hope the two Secretaries concerned Mr CHAN and Mr WONG can think carefully how the land can be used should the Motion be passed and I believe that it will be passed
第二，深圳負責整個口岸的建造工程，向我們展示出深圳的建造樓宇速度多麼厲害。
Secondly Shenzhen will be responsible for the construction work of the entire control point . It shows that how fast they can build
據政府所說，深圳市政府目標在2023年年底完成新皇崗口岸的主體工程，完工後便會交由兩地自行進行內部裝修，預計大約3至4年便會完成。
According to the Government the target of the Shenzhen Municipal Government is to complete the main works of the new Huanggang Port by the end of 2023 then the two governments will start internal decoration work respectively . The entire project is expected to take three to four years
大家試想想，才3至4年，他們便可興 建如此大型、貫通兩地的大樓。
Think about it they can build such a huge building connecting the two places in just three to four years time
反觀香港，例如蓮塘/香園圍口岸於2009年獲立法會撥款興建，直至2020年才陸續開始使用。
Look at Hong Kong . The funding for LiantangHeung Yuen Wai Control Point was approved by the Legislative Council in 2009 . It was not until 2020 that the control point gradually came into service
雖然兩個口岸的設施並非完全一樣，或許並不可以完全作比較，但這只是眾多例子之一。
Although we cannot compare the two control points as their facilities are not exactly the same this is just one of the examples
我平時在一些委員會也說了多次，尤其是發展本地路政的小型項目，動輒十年八年也完成不了一個項目，很多議員也在委員會可能只有局長的同事出席，兩位局長未有出席表示非常不滿。
I have mentioned it many times in different committees that some projects took over eight to 10 years time to complete especially local minor road projects . Many Members expressed their discontent in committee meetings in which the two Secretaries were absent but their colleagues might be there
香港過去的發展速度實在太慢，寶馬山扶手電梯項目也花了10多年時間興建。
The pace of development in Hong Kong was too slow in the past . Even the escalator construction project at Braemar Hill took a decade to complete
在這些情況下，又一次見證深圳的樓宇發展速度可以有多快。
Under such circumstance it once again demonstrates how fast the construction pace in Shenzhen is
代理主席，我發言支持保安局局長動議有關推展皇崗口岸"一地兩檢"安排後續工作的議案。
Deputy President I speak in support of the motion moved by the Secretary for Security on taking forward the follow - up tasks of implementing co - location arrangement at the Huanggang Port
是項議案的內容是支持香港與深圳兩地政府共同推動皇崗口岸重建計劃，並在重建後的皇崗口岸實施"一地兩檢"安排，提升口岸通關便利，有助兩地民眾互聯互通。
The motion seeks support for the Hong Kong Government to collaborate with the Shenzhen Municipal Government to press ahead the redevelopment of the Huanggang Port and to implement co - location arrangement at the redeveloped Huanggang Port with a view to enhancing travel convenience of passengers and promoting efficient flow of and connectivity between people in the two places
行政長官已在去年11月發表的施政報告中指出，要完善港深陸路口岸，逐步落實跨境貨運"東進東出、西進西出"的布局，其餘口岸包括新皇崗口岸則主力處理客運。
In the Policy Address delivered in November last year the Chief Executive has already pointed out that we should rationalize the Hong Kong - Shenzhen land boundary control points by progressively implementing the East in East out West in West out planning strategy for cross - boundary goods traffic and using other control points including the redeveloped Huanggang Port mainly for handling passenger flow
上述建議能有系統地、妥善地及長遠地解決兩地的客流、貨流及車流問題。
The proposed initiative is a systematic and proper way to tackle problems associated with cross - boundary passenger cargo and vehicle flows in the long run
皇崗口岸落成已近30年，正如李局長剛才所說，口岸設施現已老化，原來的設計亦已無法應付日益增加的客流和貨流。
It has been almost 30 years since the commissioning of the Huanggang Port and as suggested just now by Secretary LEE its port facilities have become outdated while the original design can no longer cope with the ever - increasing passenger and cargo flows
深圳的皇崗口岸與香港的落馬洲管制站並不相連，而一如大家所知，需要過境的旅客須乘搭俗稱"皇巴"的穿梭巴士往來兩地關口，不但要上落車數次，而且過程轉折，費時失事。
The Huanggang Port in Shenzhen is not physically connected with Lok Ma Chau Control Point in Hong Kong and as we all know cross - boundary passengers have to travel between the two control points by a shuttle bus commonly known as the Yellow Bus . Apart from the need to board and alight from the bus several times this trip is also tiresome and time - consuming
局長提出的口岸重建計劃，正是要在深圳的皇崗口岸原址重建一幢可進行"一地兩檢"的聯檢大樓。
The port redevelopment plan proposed by the Secretary now seeks mainly to provide a passenger terminal building for implementing co - location arrangement at the original site of the Huanggang Port in Shenzhen
按深圳灣口岸實施"一地兩檢"的模式，新大樓將各設香港和內地口岸區，作為清關、辦理出入境手續及檢疫的用途。
With reference to the mode of implementing co - location arrangement at the Shenzhen Bay Port a Hong Kong Port Area and a Mainland Port Area will be set up at the new passenger terminal building for the conduct of customs immigration and quarantine procedures
按照深圳市人民政府的新口岸規劃，正如陳帆局長剛才所說，該口岸將成為交通樞紐，接駁市內多條地鐵線、城際鐵路，以及興建行人路連接福田口岸。
According to the port development plan of the Shenzhen Municipal Government and as described by Secretary Frank CHAN just now the redeveloped Huanggang Port will become a transportation hub which provides connectivity to a number of urban metro lines and intercity railway lines as well as a footpath leading to the Futian Port
預計口岸落成後將不單可方便前往深圳市各區的遊客和市民，亦可同時方便往來其他大灣區城市及皇崗口岸。
It is expected that after its completion the redeveloped Huanggang Port will not only bring convenience to tourists and passengers visiting various districts in Shenzhen but also facilitate the flow of people between other cities in the Greater Bay Area and the Huanggang Port
估計在大樓落成後，使用口岸的人流和車流均會較以往大幅增加。
Upon the commissioning of the passenger terminal building the number of people and vehicles using the Huanggang Port are also expected to significantly increase
此外，我和業界人士亦關注到新皇崗口岸日後讓旅遊巴出入接送旅行團的停車安排的問題。
In addition I share the concern of trade members about the parking arrangements at the redeveloped Huanggang Port for picking up and dropping off tour group members by coaches in the future
目前，各口岸供旅行團使用的交通配套設施，特別是深圳數個陸路口岸的設施均明顯不足。
Ancillary transport facilities currently provided at various boundary control points for tour groups are obviously insufficient and the problem is particularly serious at several land boundary control points in Shenzhen
不少旅遊業界人士曾經反映，以往深圳灣口岸的內地範圍並沒有提供讓旅行團使用的旅遊巴停車場，旅客需要步行一段路程才可上車。
As pointed out previously by a number of trade members in the tourism industry since no parking lot was provided in the Mainland side of the Shenzhen Bay Port for coaches serving tour groups passengers had to walk to the pick - up point before they could get on board a coach
記得當年前往深圳灣口岸時，在過關後須步行經過一段馬路，才可在馬路附近的位置上車。
I remember that when travelling to the Mainland via the Shenzhen Bay Port years ago passengers leaving the passenger terminal building had to walk on a road for a distance before they can get on a coach at roadside
但願在總結剛才提到過往在兩個口岸出現的問題後，政府可做好相關規劃，令新口岸有更加理想的通關環境，達到便民及促進經濟的效果。
It is also my wish that by drawing lessons from the problems encountered previously at the two boundary control points as mentioned just now the Government will make better planning in upgrading the clearance environment at the redeveloped Huanggang Port so as to achieve the goals of bringing convenience to the people and promoting the economy
主席，粵港澳大灣區未來的發展相當迅速，相信在疫情受控後，口岸的需求將日增，而大灣區旅遊，包括海外人士經香港的一程多站旅遊活動亦會重拾增長動力，屆時往來粵港各陸路口岸的人流和旅行團均勢必增加。
President given the rapid pace of the future development in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area it is believed that there will be an increasing demand for port facilities after we have brought the epidemic under control and there will be a return of in growth momentum in tourism activities in the Greater Bay Area including multi - destination tourism activities involving overseas visitors passing through Hong Kong . By then there will definitely be an increased flow of people and tour groups between Guangdong and Hong Kong via various land boundary control points
希望特區政府與內地有關部門或政府保持溝通，除解決剛才提到的皇崗口岸的問題外，亦須研究各口岸未來的功能及分工，甚至探討我們將於未來10年以至更長時間面對甚麼挑戰，預先作好準備，一同為香港各口岸的功能更趨完善作出努力。
I hope the SAR Government will maintain communication with the relevant authorities or governments in the Mainland . Apart from solving the problems at the Huanggang port as mentioned just now it should examine the future functions of various boundary control points and their division of work or even the potential challenges we may face in the coming 10 years and beyond so as to prepare in advance and work together to enhance the functions of different boundary control points in Hong Kong
代理主席，自2020-2021年度開始，議事規則委員會一直研究議員就修訂《議事規則》及《內務守則》提出的多項建議，旨在進一步確保議會有效運作，並維護議員發言及辯論的權利。
Deputy President since the commencement of the 2020 - 2021 session CRoP has been examining proposals submitted by Members to amend RoP and the House Rules HR to better ensure the effective operation of the legislature and uphold the rights of Members to speak and to debate
該等建議可分為8組，當中5組建議涉及修訂《議事規則》的相關條文，包括： ―建議1：訂明如立法會主席認為《議事規則》第452條的退席罰則不足以處理議員在立法會、全體委員會、財務委員會或內務委員會會議上作出的單一次或多次極不檢點行為，立法會主席可將該議員點名，而代理主席隨即動議一項不容辯論及修正的暫停職務議案。
The proposals can be divided into eight groups and five of them which involve amending the relevant rules of RoP are set out as follows - Proposal 1 to set out that if by reason of grossly disorderly conduct of a Member committed in a single instance or multiple instances in a meeting of the Legislative Council the committee of the whole Council the Finance Committee or the House Committee the President of the Legislative Council is of the opinion that his powers under RoP 452 regarding the withdrawal sanction are inadequate with respect to such grossly disorderly conduct the President may name such Member
主席，政府於2018年推出擴展光纖網絡至偏遠地區鄉村資助計劃，資助固定網絡營辦商擴展光纖網絡至235條位於偏遠地區的選定鄉村，使其村民可享用速度最少每秒25兆比特的寬頻服務。
President the Government launched the Subsidy Scheme to Extend Fibre - based Networks to Villages in Remote Areas in 2018 to subsidize fixed network operators FNOs to extend fibre - based networks to 235 selected villages located in remote areas so that the villagers therein can enjoy broadband services of speed of at least 25 megabits per second Mbps
主席，多謝劉業強議員的質詢。
President I thank Mr Kenneth LAU for his question
主席，以往，不少位於新界和離島偏遠的鄉村地區未有光纖網絡覆蓋，只能靠銅線網絡得到基本的電訊服務，上網速度未如理想。
President in the past many remote villages in the New Territories and outlying islands were not covered by fibre - based networks and could only rely on copper - based networks for basic telecommunications services with unsatisfactory Internet access speed
直至2017年，政府決定以公帑資助一些偏遠及有一定居民人口的鄉村鋪設光纖，這是一項政策突破。
A policy breakthrough was made in 2017 when the Government decided to subsidize the laying of fibre - based cables for those remote villages with a reasonable number of residents
隨後，我們於2018年獲立法會財務委員會通過7億7,440萬元的撥款，推行擴展光纖網絡至偏遠地區鄉村資助計劃，以經濟誘因，促成電訊商擴展光纖網絡至位於偏遠地區的鄉村，讓村民獲得更佳的寬頻服務。
Subsequently we obtained the approval of the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council in 2018 for a funding of 774.4 million to implement the Subsidy Scheme to Extend Fibre - based Networks to Villages in Remote Areas . The Subsidy Scheme aims to provide financial incentives for telecommunications operators to extend their fibre - based networks to remote villages in order to provide residents with better broadband services
在獲得撥款後，我們已完成招標工作，6個項目中標的固網商現正分階段鋪設和拓展光纖網絡。
After securing the funding six fixed network operators FNOs selected through tender are laying and extending the fibre - based networks in phases
整個計劃會惠及235條偏遠鄉村和大約11萬名村民，預計至2022-2023年度有約一半鄉村會完成光纖網絡鋪設工程；餘下鄉村會於2025-2026年度完成工程。
The entire project will benefit 235 villages in remote areas and about 110 000 villagers . The laying of fibre - based networks for about half of the villages is expected to be completed by 2022 - 2023 and the rest by 2025 - 2026
計劃涵蓋的鄉村名單載於附件，供議員參考。
A list of the villages covered by the Subsidy Scheme is at Annex for Members reference
資助計劃目的是資助中標的固網商鋪設光纖網絡至合資格的鄉村的村口，讓固網商利用資助鋪設的光纖幹線，有條件再在村內鋪設網絡。
The Subsidy Scheme aims to subsidize selected FNOs to extend their fibre - based networks to the entrances of eligible villages so that the FNOs are in a position to make use of the subsidized fibre - based cables to lay their networks within the villages
至於光纖到戶，由於在進行配線和安裝工程方面涉及私人土地及物業，必須由有關業權擁有人與固網商達成商業協議方可進行相關工程，這種安排與市區用戶的情況一樣。
As regards fibre - to - the - home since the wiring and installation works will involve private land and properties they could only proceed when the relevant owners have reached a commercial agreement with the FNO . This arrangement is the same as for subscribers in urban areas
資助計劃規定參與的固網商必須開放獲資助鋪設的網絡設施至少一半的容量予其他固網商免費使用。
The Subsidy Scheme requires participating FNOs to open up at least half of the capacity of the subsidized network facilities for free use by other FNOs
換言之，其他固網商可通過共用獲資助鋪設的網絡設施，在有關鄉村提供寬頻服務，令村民有更多選擇，獲得合適的寬頻服務。
In other words other FNOs can share the use of the subsidized network facilities and provide broadband services to the villages concerned thereby providing villagers with more choices of suitable broadband services
主席，資助計劃落實後，會將200多條以往未有光纖到村的村落連接網絡。
President with the implementation of the Subsidy Scheme connection to fibre - based network would be made available to over 200 villages which previously did not have such a service
當然，仍有一些地理位置相當偏遠和人口極稀少的地點，包括一些現時未有完善的電力供應足以支援電訊設施的運作的離島，暫時未被納入計劃。
Notwithstanding some remotely located or sparsely populated areas including some islands without sufficient electricity supply to support the operation of telecommunication facilities are not included in the Scheme for the time being
主席，在疫情下，市民對科技的依賴日深，擴展光纖網絡至偏遠地區是刻不容緩的。
President under the pandemic people rely more heavily on technology and it is imperative to extend fibre - based networks to remote areas
但是，現時資助計劃的進展非常緩慢，鄉郊居民望穿秋水都未能享用光纖上網服務。
However with the extremely slow progress of the Subsidy Scheme at present residents of the rural areas will have to wait for a very long time before they can enjoy Internet services through fibre - based networks
而且，現時經常因為業權的問題，導致光纖網絡只鋪設至村口的位置，出現過門不入的情況，村民對光纖到戶的寬頻服務是可望而不可及。
Besides it is now often due to ownership problems that fibre - based networks can only be extended to the entrances of villages without reaching individual households inside the villages . Fibre - to - the - home broadband services are just within sight but beyond reach for villagers
政府現時的答覆，似乎是說沒有任何實質的措施可以協助村民。
This present reply from the Government seems to say that there is not any concrete measure to help those villagers
我想問政府能否多行一步，承擔責任，成立一個專責委員會擔當統籌和協調的角色，協助村民和固網商溝通，讓光纖可以入屋？
I would like to ask the Government whether it can take an extra step to take up the responsibility of setting up a special committee which will play the role of an organizer or coordinator in facilitating communication between villagers and FNOs so that fibre - to - the - home can be made available to villagers
主席，多謝劉議員的意見。
President I thank Mr LAU for his views
我們明白光纖或寬頻對全港市民的重要性，亦因為如此，我們在2018年向立法會申請7億多元進行光纖鋪設工程。
We understand the importance of fibre - based networks or broadband services to the people of the whole territory and it was precisely due to this reason that we submitted an application to the Legislative Council in 2018 for a funding of over 700 million for laying fibre - based networks
計劃分兩個階段，第一階段是招標工作，將全新界分為6個區域，分為6個項目邀請固網商參與招標。
There are two stages under this project and the first stage is tendering . The New Territories as a whole is divided into six zones and for these six projects FNOs have been invited to participate in the tender exercise
但是，其實中間亦涉及很多工程，例如在偏遠的地方，需要進行很多挖地、鋪設光纖的工程，亦有一些工程要在離島進行。
However many kinds of works are actually involved . For instance in some remote areas the works like digging up the roads to lay the fibre - based cables are warranted and some works also need to be conducted on outlying islands
這次的200多個村落中其實有相當部分是位於離島，涉及海底電纜或光纖幹線的鋪設，所以是需要一段時間。
In this exercise a large proportion of these 200 - odd villages are located on outlying islands and the works which involve the laying of submarine cables or fibre - based cables need some time to be completed
但是，就着由村口至達每一戶，往往涉及很多不同的地段，在這方面，一直以來固網商會與鄉事委員會等商討，如何把光纖連接進去。
Nevertheless from the entrances of villages to individual households normally many different lots of land are involved . In this respect FNOs have been negotiating with the Rural Committees concerned on how to lay the networks within the villages
我們會一直繼續進行這方面的工作，我亦希望最終來說，絕大部分的村民都能夠享用光纖服務。
We will continue our efforts in this regard and it is my hope that at the end an overwhelming majority of villagers can enjoy the services through fibre - based networks
翻查我們的議會資料文件，在去年6月，局方曾出席立法會的一個會議，交代在相關光纖入鄉鋪設的資助計劃下，已完成6項工程的招標工作，但我們今天翻看這份文件，跟9個月之前的那份文件的內容是非常相似的，但是，政府在去年6月已答應......
We learn from an information paper of our Council that in June last year the Bureau attended a meeting of the Council telling us that under the Subsidy Scheme in relation to extending fibre - based networks to villages the tendering exercise on six projects had already been finished . But after reading this paper today we find that its content is very similar to that of the paper nine months ago
是否因為疫情的關係，所以你沒有辦法在這9個月做到任何跟進的工作呢？
Is it owing to the pandemic that in these nine months you are unable to take any follow - up actions?
主席，正如鄭松泰議員所說，我們在去年才完成招標的工作。
President as mentioned by Dr CHENG Chung - tai we just finished the tendering exercise last year
所以，我覺得政府加快這方面的工作才是上策。
Therefore I think the best way is for the Government to expedite the progress of such work
現時由固網商開始鋪設網絡設施，最大的缺點是只可鋪設到例如村口的地方，如果要再鋪設得更深入，可能涉及一些私人地方，而甚至因為某些鄉村只有很少人口，固網商沒興趣去做。
The biggest shortcoming of the present approach of laying fibre - based networks by FNOs is that the networks can only be extended to for example the entrances of villages . If the networks are further extended some private land may be involved . And since certain villages are scarcely populated FNOs may not even be interested to extend the networks
所以，政府要留意日後的進展情況。
Hence the Government has to pay attention to the progress or situation in future
例如大埔的山頂花園、沙埔仔和松仔園公園，以及元朗的麒麟村也不被包括在資助計劃內。
For example Hilltop Garden Sha Po Tsai and Tsung Tsai Yuen Garden in Tai Po and Ki Lun Tsuen in Yuen Long are not covered by the Subsidy Scheme
政府沒有處理這些不被承認的鄉村，我覺得反正政府現時已經願意為一些偏遠居民做一些事，為何要放棄這些居民？
The Government does not deal with these places which are not recognized as villages . In my view since the Government is now willing to do something for the residents in remote areas why does it neglect those residents?
我們在推出資助計劃的時候，曾在地區上與包括新界鄉議局、鄉事委員會討論這個問題。
When we introduced the Subsidy Scheme we had discussed this problem with the Heung Yee Kuk NT . and the Rural Committees on the district level
如果很多居所是較為集中，基本上光纖能夠鋪設到村口，村內居民已經可以獲得寬頻服務，無論是採用直接拉線或其他無線的方式。
If most of the households are geographically rather concentrated basically when fibre - based networks are extended to the entrances of villages the villagers therein are able to enjoy broadband services no matter by way of direct wiring or other wireless modes
至於這235條鄉村以外的地方，我明白總有掛一漏萬的情況，有些地方是這項資助計劃暫時未能覆蓋的，我們會因應情況，看看結果之後再作考慮。
In regard to the places beyond these 235 villages I understand that there are surely some omissions . For the places which are not covered by the Subsidy Scheme for the time being we will consider them after checking the result of the Scheme
事實上，在去年疫情中，很多學校也要轉為網上授課，我所屬的婦女會曾向1000名學童送上平板電腦，讓他們在網上上課。
In fact during the pandemic last year many schools needed to switch to online teaching and our women association had given free tablets to 1 000 students so that they could attend online classes
如果我們的網絡覆蓋得不夠好，真的會造成數碼鴻溝，影響小朋友學習。
If our network coverage is not extensive enough there will really be a digital gap adversely affecting the learning of children
第一，她提到很多鄉村的情況，這些正是我們這項資助計劃希望能覆蓋的地方。
Firstly she mentioned the situation of many villages which are precisely the areas that we want to include into this Subsidy Scheme
