這正正是一個很好的例子，說明中央肯與不同的人士討論，亦肯作出妥協，但泛民或反對派卻不接受任何中央開出或特區政府開出的條件，最終今天有何結果？
This is precisely a good example to illustrate that the Central Authorities are willing to discuss with different parties and are willing to make compromise but the pan - democratic camp or the opposition camp did not accept any of the criteria set out by the Central Authorities or the SAR Government . So what is the result today in the end?
泛民不接受中央的建議，推翻或否決2012年特區政府提出的政改方案，還要在2014年弄出佔中，更在2019年弄出"黑暴"，破壞香港，而特區政府卻沒有能力處理。
The pan - democratic camp did not accept the Central Authorities proposal and overturned or vetoed the political reform package proposed by the SAR Government in 2012 . They even staged the Occupy Central incident in 2014 and the black - clad violence in 2019 wreaking havoc on Hong Kong . The SAR Government was incapable of handling it
所以，中央便出手，在去年制定《香港國安法》，今年再提出我們今天討論的完善選舉制度。
Therefore the Central Authorities stepped in and enacted the Hong Kong National Security Law last year . Improving the electoral system that we are discussing today is further proposed this year
反正說甚麼也好，他們泛民、反對派或"攬炒派"也不會接受，於是中央便提出一種他們認為對香港最好的制度。
Anyway the pan - democratic camp the opposition camp or the mutual destruction camp would not accept whatever is said so the Central Authorities have proposed a system that they regard as the best for Hong Kong
所以，我們這兩天將會進行討論，如無意外大家都會支持通過，這才能令香港未來的發展穩定。
As a result we are going to discuss it in these two days and all of us will support its passage if nothing special happens . This is the only way to ensure the stable development of Hong Kong in the future
但問題是，在考慮到大局的情況下，業界絕對接受一種妥協，加上最大的影響只不過是他們有些人在今年12月未必可以投票，但同一時間，他們可以加入一些指定的紡織界商會，然後在下一屆時，他們便重新獲得投票權。
But the point is taking the big picture into account our sector would definitely accept a compromise . Moreover the greatest impact is that some of them may not be able to vote in December this year . Yet at the same time they can join some of the designated chambers of commerce in the textiles industry and then they will be eligible for voting again in the next term
所以，我覺得大家在顧全大局的情況下，妥協是絕對需要的，也要懂得如何去做。
This being so I find it absolutely necessary to make compromise when taking the interests of the whole into account and we should know how to do so as well
代理主席，另一個問題是，有些人說今天改變選舉制度會否影響民主進程呢？
Deputy President another question is some people query whether modifying the electoral system today will affect the development progress of democracy
民主不是單靠選舉作為指標，民主並不是一定"一人一 票"選出來便等於民主。
Election is not the sole indicator of democracy . Election on the basis of one person one vote is not necessarily tantamount to democracy
實際上，民主背後的理念是以民為主，以民為本，即最重要的是政府懂得如何以民為主和以民為本。
In fact the concept behind democracy is to be people - oriented and people - based . That is to say it is the most important for the Government to understand how to be people - oriented and people - based
但很可惜，現屆特區政府做不到，否則其整體支持度也不會這麼低。
But unfortunately the current - term SAR Government has failed to do so otherwise its overall support rating would not be so low
當然，如果這兩天可以通過這項完善選舉制度的法案後，大家都期望有一個新景象，但新景象是要靠現屆政府還是下屆政府來處理呢？
Of course we all expect to see a new scenario if this Bill to improve the electoral system can be passed in these two days . But then will this new scenario be handled by the current - term Government or the next - term?
他們的態度又如何呢？
What is their attitude?
這便有待大家一起合作，而在這段時間，張建宗司長也經常說要多溝通，多聆聽立法會議員的意見。
We will have to work together and Chief Secretary Matthew CHEUNG has often said during this period of time that they should enhance communication with Members of the Legislative Council and listen more to our views
當然，大家都期待的一個新景象是，行政立法之間的關係既是合作，同時亦互相監察。
Of course all of us are looking forward to a new scenario in which the relationship between the executive and the legislature is one of cooperation and mutual monitoring
近年有多名註冊社工被裁定非法集結或襲警罪名成立，並被判處監禁。
In recent years a number of registered social workers were convicted of the offences of unlawful assembly or assault on police officers and were sentenced to imprisonment
有團體向負責社工註冊及紀律事宜的社會工作者註冊局作出投訴，要求註冊局取消該等人士的社工註冊。
Some organizations have lodged complaints to the Social Workers Registration Board the Board which is responsible for the registration and disciplinary matters of social workers demanding the Board to cancel the registration of such persons as a social worker
然而，註冊局基於有關罪行不屬專業失當行為，拒絕他們的要求。
However the Board has rejected their demand on the grounds that the offences concerned do not constitute professional misconduct
主席，社會工作者註冊局是根據於1997年通過的《社會工作者註冊條例》成立的法定機構。
President the Social Workers Registration Board the Board is a statutory body established under the Social Workers Registration Ordinance Cap . 505 enacted in 1997
註冊局獲賦權訂定和檢討社會工作者的註冊資格標準、擬訂和審批《工作守則》、管理註冊制度及處理紀律事宜。
The Board is empowered to set and review the qualification standards for the registration of social workers formulate and approve codes of practice administer the registration system and handle disciplinary matters
註冊局可決定被裁定犯了刑事罪行的人士，能否註冊為社會工作者。
The Board may decide whether persons convicted of criminal offences can be registered as registered social workers
就處理對註冊社會工作者的投訴，註冊局須委任紀律委員會進行研訊及就應採取的行動向註冊局提出建議，以供註冊局就投訴作出最後決定。
For the handling of complaints against registered social workers the Board shall appoint disciplinary committees to conduct hearings and recommend actions to be taken to the Board which will make the final decision in respect of the complaint
就議員的質詢，我的答覆如下： 一及二 根據註冊局提供的資料，由2018年1月至2021年4月，共有7名註冊社工向註冊局呈報就刑事罪行被定罪及判處監禁，當中暫時沒有涉案人士被註銷社工註冊身份，亦沒有時任註冊局成員。
My reply to the Members question is as follows 1 and 2 According to the information provided by the Board from January 2018 to April 2021 a total of seven registered social workers have reported to the Board that they have been convicted of criminal offences with sentences of imprisonment . None of them had hisher name removed from the Register so far nor were any of them a member of the Board
就這7名人士，註冊局正考慮1名人士的個案；2名人士正待法庭上訴裁決；1名人士未有申請將其註冊續期；註冊局裁定另外3名人士的定罪不影響其註冊續期。
Of these seven persons the Board is deliberating on the case of one of them; two persons are awaiting the courts verdict on their appeals; one person did not apply for registration renewal; and the Board decided that the convictions of the remaining three persons would not affect their registration renewal
該7名人士所涉及的罪行並非任何屬《條例》附表2所指明的罪行。
The offences involved of the seven persons are not listed on Schedule 2 of the Ordinance
所涉罪行類別及刑期的分項資料載於附件。
The breakdown of the offences and sentences concerned is listed in the Annex
三 註冊局是一個法定機構，其組成、權力、職能、註冊規定及紀律處分程序已在《條例》訂明，只要註冊局按照《條例》的規定處理社會工作者的紀律管制及相關事宜，政府不宜干預。
3 The Board is a statutory body and its constitution powers functions registration requirements and disciplinary proceedings have been stipulated in the Ordinance . So long as the Board acts in accordance with the Ordinance on disciplinary control of social workers and related matters it would not be appropriate for the Government to intervene
因應社會對註冊局的工作有不同意見，政府會建議註冊局考慮適當措施以提高其運作透明度，以及加強與持份者的溝通。
In light of the different views in the community on the Boards work the Government will recommend the Board to consider appropriate measures to enhance its operational transparency and strengthen its communication with stakeholders
主席，局長在主體答覆第三部分提到政府不宜干預。
President in part 3 of the main reply the Secretary mentioned that it would not be appropriate for the Government to intervene
如果政府是不宜干預的話，為何政府要委任6名成員加入註冊局呢？
If it is not appropriate for the Government to intervene why does the Government have to appoint six members to sit on the Board?
既然政府不宜干預，那全部由社工負責便可。
If it is not appropriate for the Government to intervene it may as well let social workers assume full responsibility
註冊局有8名成員是社工，有6名成員是委任的、有1名來自社署我相信該成員不會投票，亦不會發表意見。
Eight members on the Board are social workers and six members are appointed members while one member is from the Social Welfare Department―whom I think will neither vote nor give his or her views
既然是這樣，註冊局怎可能會對一些犯錯、被裁定犯了刑事罪的人作出裁決呢？
If that is the case how would the Board make a ruling on those who have made mistakes and convicted of criminal offences?
可是，局長剛才在主體答覆中指出，只有違反附表2訂明的罪行才會受到制裁。
Yet as pointed out by the Secretary in his main reply only those convicted of offences listed on Schedule 2 will be disciplined
這種說法令人不信服。
This argument is unconvincing
主席，我相信如果大家有留意，香港所有相關專業組織，特別是透過立法授權作為一個自我監管的組織，一般的成員比例都較多為與業界相關的專業人士。
President I believe Members may have noticed that among all the relevant professional organizations in Hong Kong particularly self - regulatory organizations authorized by law the proportion of professional members coming from the relevant sectors is generally higher
主席，在2019年7月一宗毆打案件中，有人在眾目睽睽下禁錮一名女子，大家駭然發現當中涉及一名社工。
President in an assault case in July 2019 a woman was detained in full view of the public and it was a shock to find out that a social worker was involved
社工本來的職責是要處理青年人的情緒，但我們現時看到他竟然牽頭打人、禁錮，肆無忌憚地犯法，最令人擔心的是，這些害群之馬恐怕並不局限於一兩人。
Social workers are originally tasked to deal with the emotions of young people yet now we see that he had taken the lead to beat up and detain a person blatantly violating the law . It is most worrying that these black sheep are not limited to one to two persons
政府有甚麼可以做？
What can the Government do?
現時當大家對社工與青少年有密切接觸有所質疑時，局長是否甚麼都做不到？
When the public now query the close contact between social workers and young people is the Secretary unable to do anything?
主席，我首先澄清，在主體答覆所說的"不干預"，是指當註冊局按照《條例》的規定處理社會工作者的紀律管制及相關事宜，政府不宜干預。
President first I have to clarify that the remark in the main reply about non - intervention refers to that fact that it is not appropriate for the Government to intervene when the Board is handling disciplinary control of social workers and related matters in accordance with the Ordinance
如果註冊局不按照《條例》的規定處理社會工作者的紀律管制及相關事宜，政府便有責任去處理。
If the Board is not handling the disciplinary control of social workers and related matters in accordance with the provisions of the Ordinance the Government is obliged to do so
所有這些專業的 自律行為，是透過立法會或前立法局通過的相關條例，授權有關團體作為自律組織，所以這個授權是來自社會及立法會。
The self - discipline conduct of all professions is handled by the relevant self - regulatory organizations authorized by the relevant legislation passed by the Legislative Council or the former Legislative Council so the authority comes from society and the Legislative Council
所以，如果有關組織不能夠負起這個責任時，政府或立法會當然有責任看看這個授權是否需要作出任何修訂。
As such if the relevant organizations have failed to take up this responsibility the Government or the Legislative Council is certainly obliged to examine whether it is necessary to amend the authorization
立法會現時就是發現這個授權出現問題，局長，在資源撥配等方面，你會否與這些出現了害群之馬的機構掛鈎呢？
Secretary in respect of resource allocation and so on will you consider linking this to those organizations found to have black sheep?
主席，小部分社工守法意識薄弱，亦有參與激進及違法的集會，激化社會矛盾，作出違法行為，令社工的專業聲譽受損，嚴重影響社工的專業形象。
President the law - abiding awareness among a small number of social workers is weak and they have also participated in radical and illegal assemblies intensified social conflicts and violated the law . These social workers have tarnished the professional reputation of social workers and seriously undermined the professional image of social workers
而且，這些違法行為涉及背後的思維，我亦很擔心一些"政治上腦"的社工、抱持違法思維的社工，會透過工作關係影響很多服務使用者，特別是青年人。
Moreover these illegal acts reflect the thinking behind . I am worried that certain social workers who are carried away by politics and hold unlawful thinking may influence many service users particularly young people through their work
可是，註冊局最近對這些違法社工的處理，令社會人士非常失望，覺得他們面對的是"零處分"，並沒有實質的紀律處分，莫說是被吊銷牌照，就連實際的處分也沒有，令人覺得註冊局包庇及縱容這些違法行為。
However recently the handling of these social workers engaging in unlawful acts by the Board has made the public extremely disappointed . Members of the public think that these social workers are facing zero punishment and no concrete disciplinary action . There is not any real punishment not to mention the cancellation of their registration
局長剛才不肯說改組，我覺得改組這件事，政府不能夠蒙混過關。
This gives people the impression that the Board is harbouring and conniving at these unlawful acts . The Secretary has refused to talk about restructuring just now . I think the Government cannot muddle through in the restructuring issue
我希望改組以加入服務使用者的代表及相關社工院校的代表，由政府委任。
I hope that restructuring will bring into the Board representatives of service users and relevant institutes of social workers to be appointed by the Government
這些人如社工院校的代表，同樣是社工身份，同樣可以符合社工人數佔較大比例的情況。
These people such as the representatives of institutes of social workers are also social workers so the requirement of a higher proportion of social workers on the Board can also be met
我亦想問局長，能否檢討現有《社會工作者工作守則》的條款？
I would also like to ask the Secretary whether the provisions in the existing Code of Practice for Registered Social Workers will be reviewed
因為現時《工作守則》的條款中，沒有一項條款是要求社工須遵守法例、尊重法治，我認為這是其中一個令社工守法意識薄弱的原因。
Since the existing Code of Practice does not include any provision requiring social workers to be law - abiding and respect the rule of law I think this is one of the reasons that the law - abiding awareness of social workers is weak
如果社會人士或受影響人士對註冊局的工作特別是關於紀律處分有所不滿，他們可以作出投訴，或者如果涉及有關案件，亦可就註冊局的決定向上訴法庭提出上訴。
If any members of the public or persons affected are dissatisfied with the work of the Board particularly in respect of disciplinary action they may lodge complaints or if they are involved in the case concerned they may appeal to the Court of Appeal against the decision of the Board
主席，局方今天的主體答覆令人失望。
President I am extremely disappointed with the main reply of the Bureau today
現在的問題是"黑暴"社工干犯了非法集結和襲警等罪行，但因為非法集結和襲警並非《條例》內的指明罪行，所以註冊局找到"法律罅"來包庇和"放生"有關人士，免他們面對任何紀律制裁。
Currently the issue is that violent social workers have committed offences of unlawful assembly or assaulting the police and so on but since the offences of unlawful assembly and assaulting the police are not specified offences under the Ordinance the Board can find this loophole in law to shield or let go the persons concerned enabling them to dodge disciplinary actions
可是，《條例》第25條已清楚說明，如果干犯可被監禁的罪行，註冊局也可作出紀律制裁，但註冊局這次沒有這樣做，是"隻眼開，隻眼閉"，明顯地在縱容"黑暴"社工。
Nonetheless it is stipulated clearly in section 25 of the Ordinance that if a social worker has committed any offence which is punishable with imprisonment the Board may take disciplinary action . Yet the Board did not do so this time and instead turned a blind eye to it which is obviously harbouring violent social workers
真是情何以堪。
How can it be?
主席，我的問題是，既然如此，局方是否應該考慮修改《條例》，至少將襲警和非法集結等"黑暴"罪行納入《條例》的指明罪行中，表明干犯這些罪行也應要被"釘牌"，以正視聽？
President my question is that given the above scenario should the Bureau not consider amending the Ordinance at least to include the offences of assault of police and unlawful assembly in the specified offences under the Ordinance making it clear that the commission of such offences should be punishable by deregistration so as to ensure a correct understanding of the matter?
正如我剛才回答另一位議員的補充質詢一樣，如果社會上有聲音，認為有關組織或法定組織沒有履行有關條例的功能，當然，政府便有責任看看這些工作，我們一定會聆聽社會的意見。
As I said in my reply to the supplementary question of another Member if there is opinion in the community that the relevant organizations or statutory bodies have failed to perform their functions under the relevant laws the Government is definitely obliged to examine such work and we will surely listen to the views of the community
不過，我有一個事實上的澄清，因為剛才有兩位議員先後表示註冊局沒有對有關社工作出任何懲處，這是與事實不符的。
However I would like to make a factual clarification because two Members have just said that the Board had not imposed any punishment on the relevant social workers which is inconsistent with the facts
主席，如果有社工犯了參與非法集結、暴動等罪行而被判罪，之後仍可繼續當社工、不用被吊銷牌照的話，這便證明現行機制本身出現了問題。
President if a social worker who has been convicted of the offences of participating in unlawful assembly and riots is allowed to continue to work as a social worker without having his registration cancelled it is evident that there is something wrong with the existing mechanism
局長剛才說，如果聽到社會有聲音，他們便會回去想想，但這其實是推卸責任。
The Secretary said earlier that if they heard the community expressing their concerns they would go back and think about it . In fact they are shirking their responsibility
局長，局方不應聽到社會有聲音才回去研究十年、八年，然後再作出改進，而是應該在看到社會出現問題，尤其是現在特首、"一哥"以至整個社會都在討論青少年守法意識薄弱......
Secretary the Bureau should not merely act in response to concerns expressed by the community and then make improvement after spending 8 to 10 years to examine the issue . Instead it should spot the problems in society particularly when the Chief Executive and the Commissioner of Police as well as the community at large are discussing the weakening of law - abiding awareness among young people We are facing a serious problem
我們面對如此嚴峻的問題，當看到有社工、有老師、有學生均作出違法行為，便知道這個問題多麼嚴重，政府便應檢討現時的問題所在。
When we see that some social workers teachers and students have committed unlawful acts we know how serious the problem is and the Government should review and identify the existing problem
如果出現我們剛才所說的情況，政府應主動作出檢討。
If the situation we mentioned just now arises the Government should take the initiative to conduct a review
如果法例有漏洞，便應修改法例。
If there is loophole in the legislation the legislation should be amended
如果現行機制有漏洞，便應修改機制，而不是一直被動地看看社會有何反應、有何共識，看看問題有多嚴重。
If there is loophole in the existing mechanism the mechanism should be amended . The authorities should not wait passively for the response and consensus of the community to assess how serious the problem is
待問題繼續惡化，政府才慢慢研究十年、八年，這正是我們現在常說，政府為何不能主動做事。
The Government should not wait till the problem deteriorates to slowly start examining the issue for 8 to 10 years . This is exactly why we often query the Government for not taking the initiative to do something
否則，當局接下來向我們申請要有多少名社工、要增加多少資源，但社會目前有很多家長和市民也不滿意，我們又如何支持這些工作呢？
Otherwise when the authorities seek an increase in the number of social workers and resources later how can we support these initiatives given the prevailing discontent of many parents and members of the public in society?
主席，我深信在議會內，大家也同意政府進行任何立法工作時，均會聽取社會意見，我相信大家不會反對這一點。
President I strongly believe Members in the legislature would agree that the Government would listen to the views of the community before taking forward any legislative work . I trust that Members would not object to this
任何處理立法的工作，一定要聽社會的意見，也當然聽議員的意見。
We must listen to the views of society and surely that of Members in handling any legislative work
主席，我覺得局長的回答方法......局長，不如大家別爭拗。
President I think the way the Secretary gives his reply is Secretary we had better stop arguing
局長最喜歡、最強項，就是"撩交嗌"，以及與人有口舌之爭，這又何必呢？
The Secretarys most favourite and strongest point is to stir up quarrels and engage in war of words . What for?
議會時間很重要。
The time of the legislature is precious
大家覺得註冊局在處理一些違紀行為的時候，得不到社會認同其決定是正確的。
We think the Board has failed to gain the recognition of the community that it has made the correct decision in handling certain disciplinary offences
所以，我們問局長，究竟政府會否考慮修訂《條例》？
As such we ask the Secretary whether the Government will consider amending the Ordinance
其他註冊局處理紀律委員會的時候，業外人士與業內人士的比例與這個註冊局並不相稱，所以我們才問局長究竟政府會否修訂《條例》。
As for the ratio of lay members to members in the sector the ratio of other registration boards does not align with that of the Board when it comes to disciplinary committees and that is why we ask the Secretary whether the Government will amend the Ordinance
主席，正如我剛才的答覆，我們已聽到議員的意見。
President as I said in my earlier reply we have heard the views of Members
主席，我本來不想再錐着局長，但局長剛才的答覆和態度，的確令人覺得他究竟是想做還是不想做。
President I do not intend to keep nagging the Secretary in the first place yet the earlier reply and attitude of the Secretary have really made us query whether or not he is willing to do it
議員的意見是建基於2019年的"黑暴"，看到有多麼大的"毒瘡"教育是其中一個"毒瘡"，楊潤雄局長剛才已經很積極的回應，表示回去會看看，他會做。
Members views are made against the background of the black - clad violence in 2019 . We have seen a big malignant boil―education is one of these malignant boils and Secretary Kevin YEUNG has responded positively just now that he would look into it when he goes back and that he would do something about it
第二個"大毒瘡"是社工，局長剛才還說，如果要被嚴懲處理，須獲得整個局的一致贊同。
The other big malignant boil is social workers . The Secretary said earlier that the unanimous support of the entire Board would be required if severe punishment was to be imposed
哪會有一致贊同？
How could there be unanimous support?
主席，議員也會明白，一位局長站在這個位置聽過大家的意見後，並不是立即便作出一些政策上的決定，我聽到大家的意見。
President Members would understand that a Director of Bureau who stands here listening to Members views cannot make any policy decision on the spot . I have heard Members views
當然，在政府內，究竟是否需要進行有關修例的研究工作，這是政府的決定，我當然會與其他同事商討這個問題。
Certainly in the Government whether it is necessary to conduct a study on amending the relevant legislation is the decision of the Government and I will surely discuss the issue with other colleagues
我一定要聽大家的意見，而並非即席在這裏答覆議員我們會去做，這不是應該採取的處理方法。
I will certainly listen to Members views but I will not give Members a reply here that we will do it for this is not the proper way to do things
同時，政府一貫有安排支援有經濟困難的人士及家庭，不論他們是否單親或贍養費受款人，其中包括綜合社會保障援助計劃及在職家庭津貼計劃。
Meanwhile the Government has all along put in place arrangements including the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance CSSA Scheme and the Working Family Allowance WFA Scheme to support persons and families facing economic difficulties regardless of whether they are single parents or maintenance payees
上述兩項計劃均特別照顧單親家庭的需要，例如綜援計劃向單親家庭提供較高的援助金額，而職津計劃則為每名合資格兒童發放兒童津貼，單親家庭的基本工時要求亦比非單親家庭的要求寬鬆，只為每月36小時。
Both the aforementioned schemes provide special assistance to meet the needs of single - parent families . For example the CSSA Scheme provides a higher payment rate for single - parent families whereas the WFA Scheme grants Child Allowance for each eligible child and the basic working hour requirement for single - parent families is only pitched at 36 hours per month which is much more lenient than the basic working hour requirement for non - single - parent families
此外，政府一直有進行宣傳和舉辦教育活動，以持續加深市民了解贍養費支付人的責任、贍養費受款人的權益和受款人未能收取贍養費時可使用的服務。
Furthermore the Government has been conducting publicity and education programmes to enhance public understanding of the responsibilities of maintenance payers the rights of maintenance payees and the services available to payees when they fail to receive maintenance payments
現時，倘若被法院命令支付贍養費的一方拖欠款項，受款人可啟動有關強制執行判決或命令的法律程序，強制執行法律程序包括發出判決傳票、押記令、第三債務人的命令、扣押入息令和扣押債務人財產令狀。
Currently if the paying party who is ordered by the Court to make maintenance payments is in default the receiving party may take out enforcement proceedings to enforce the judgment or order . The enforcement proceedings include Judgment Summons Charging Orders Garnishee Orders AIOs and Writs of Fieri Facias
法庭在頒出交付羈押令作為藐視法庭的判罰時，會考慮相關因素，包括拖欠贍養費的數額、拖欠時期、判定債務人是否明顯是一直罔顧法庭的命令。
When the Court makes an order of committal as a penalty for contempt of court it will consider relevant factors including the amount and duration of maintenance arrears whether the judgment debtor has continuously been in obvious defiance of the Courts order
此外，為了取得贍養令所訂出的贍養費，贍養費受款人可向法庭申請禁止令，禁止贍養費支付人離港，有效期為1個月，但法院可應判定債權人的申請，將命令續期不超逾3個月。
Besides the maintenance payee can apply to the Court for a Prohibition Order to prohibit the maintenance payer from leaving Hong Kong to assist the collection of maintenance payments as set out in the maintenance order . The Prohibition Order will be valid for one month and on the application of the judgment creditor the Court may extend the order for a period which does not exceed three months
我們會繼續檢視收取贍養費和執行贍養令的制度，以幫助有需要的人士追討贍養費。
We will continue to review the system of collection of maintenance payments and enforcement of maintenance orders so as to assist persons in need to recover maintenance payments
三 我們知悉有一些海外國家或地區設有專門處理贍養費的事宜的機構或計劃，因此政府已透過家庭議會委託了顧問團隊進行研究，以檢視現行有關收取贍養費和執行贍養令的制度、探討包括海外贍養費制度的利弊及相關行政和立法措施的安排，以及它們是否適合套用於香港的情況等。
3 We understand that specialized agencies or schemes are in place in some overseas countries or places to handle matters relating to maintenance payments . In this connection the Government has commissioned a research team through the Family Council to conduct a study to review the existing system of collection of maintenance payments and enforcement of maintenance orders examine the pros and cons of overseas systems relating to maintenance payments and their arrangements of administrative and legislative measures and analyse their applicability to Hong Kong etc
目前，研究正在進行中。
The study is underway at present
待研究完成後，研究報告會提交家庭議會考慮及討論。
The report will be submitted to the Family Council for consideration and discussion upon completion of the study
