我希望在此的議員就着引入非海外醫生會大力支持我們，我們的條例草案應該可以在本立法年度提交，但審議需時多久就交給大家。
I hope that Members present here will give us their strong support in respect of the admission of non - locally trained doctors . We should be able to introduce the bill in the current legislative session but how long the scrutiny will take rests with Members
主席，"衣、食、住、行"是民生大事，是一個城市是否宜居的要素。
President clothing food housing and transport are livelihood issues of great importance and major factors for whether or not a city is liveable
不過，今日的香港，衣服的"衣"字要改為醫療的"醫"字。
But nowadays in Hong Kong the Chinese word 衣 which means clothing has to be replaced by 醫 meaning healthcare
主席，我想問行政長官有關"行"的問題，因為要建設香港成為宜居的城市，一定要重視交通運輸的基建，但目前一些新發展區往往因交通配套落後而備受困擾，我亦曾多番促請政府進行全面的交通運輸策略性研究，我樂於看到行政長官在今年的施政報告中積極回應，推動《跨越2030年的鐵路及主要幹道策略性研究》。
President I would like to ask the Chief Executive a question about transport . It is because in order to develop Hong Kong into a liveable city we must attach importance to transport infrastructure but at present some new development areas are often troubled by backward ancillary transport facilities . I have time and again urged the Government to conduct a comprehensive strategic transport study and I am glad that in this years Policy Address the Chief Executive has responded positively by taking forward the Strategic Studies on Railways and Major Roads beyond 2030
不過，我必須指出，當局在落實鐵路發展方面的進展太慢，因為《鐵路發展策略2014》提出發展7條新鐵路路線，當時預計在2031年前可以相繼落成；可是，按當時規劃最早落成的屯門南延綫本來在明年通車，但大家也知道現在已經落後。
However I must point out that the progress in implementing railway development plans is too slow . The reason is that the Railway Development Strategy 2014 has proposed the development of seven new railway lines and it was estimated at the time that they would be completed in succession by 2031 . Nevertheless while the Tuen Mun South Extension would be the first completed project scheduled for commissioning next year according to the plan made back then we know that it is already behind schedule now
我多年來也向政府"追數"，而過了6年，政府才在去年對東涌綫延綫和屯門南延綫"開綠燈"，而原來建議北環綫及古洞站的落實時間是2018年至2023年，以便為2023年起遷入新界東北新發展區的新增人口提供服務，但當局最新預計北環綫第一期，亦即古洞站要到2027年才落成，第二期竟然要到2034年才能完工，較《鐵路發展策略2014》的規劃足足延遲11年之久。
Over the years I have been urging the Government to honour its promises . Six years have passed and the Government gave the green light to the Tung Chung Line Extension and Tuen Mun South Extension only last year and while the Northern Link and Kwu Tung Station were originally proposed for completion from 2018 to 2023 in order to provide service for the new population intake in the new development areas in Northeast New Territories from 2023 onwards the latest projection of the authorities is that Phase 1 of the Northern Link ie . Kwu Tung Station will be completed only in 2027 and worse still Phase 2 will be completed only in 2034 a delay of 11 years compared to the plan in the Railway Development Strategy 2014
交通配套落後的矛盾非常明顯，亦令人慨歎政府議而不決，決而不行。
The contradictions caused by backward traffic support are most obvious and it is saddening to see that the Government holds discussions without making decisions and makes decisions without putting them into practice
所以，我想請問行政長官，當局會否盡快檢視如何加快7項新鐵路項目的有序落實，盡量追回流失了的寶貴時間呢？
In this connection I would like to ask the Chief Executive this Will the authorities expeditiously look into ways to expedite the orderly implementation of the seven new railway projects to recover the precious time lost as far as possible?
主席，我和盧議員的看法相近，香港的城市設計應該是運輸基建先行，尤其現在要開拓新土地作房屋發展，就更加需要先有運輸基建。
President Ir Dr LO and I share similar views . Transport infrastructure should be given priority in urban design in Hong Kong especially when we have to explore new land for housing development now it is all the more necessary to accord priority to transport infrastructure
在不知不覺中，本屆政府已經調校了我們如何看待投資這些運輸基建的項目，不再是視乎有多少人入伙、出行率是如何，或者是道路會擠塞到甚麼程度，我們才加建運輸基建，所以在策略上和盧議員或其他議員多年要求的運輸基建先行是一致的。
Almost unnoticeably the current term Government has adjusted how we look at investment in these transport infrastructure projects . We no longer look at the number of people who are moving in or the commuting volume or to what extent congestion is expected to occur on roads before we take forward additional transport infrastructure projects . Therefore our strategy is consistent with the demand put up by Ir Dr LO or other Members over the years that priority should be accorded to transport infrastructure
現在是處於一個如何可以加快的階段，我在此亦有感而發有時會因快得慢。
We are now at a stage where it is possible to speed up the pace and here I wish to express my feeling that sometimes doing things the quick way will only lead to the otherwise
近年我們的鐵路項目出了問題，現在有人回頭看說是當年立項太多，一次過要香港鐵路有限公司處理5個鐵路項目，其實是令其疲於奔命，亦可能令到一些管理、工程各方面出現問題。
There have been problems with our railway projects in recent years and in retrospect some people said that too many projects were being rolled out for implementation back in those years . When the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL has to handle five railway projects in one go actually this would overburden them and may give rise to problems in respect of say management or the engineering works
今次再立項是審慎的，所以在施政報告中有4個項目；我不能夠在此承諾7個項目會一同推進，已有先後 次序，就是東涌綫延綫、屯門南延綫、北環綫，以及"躍動港島南"的南港島綫。
This time we have been prudent in initiating railway projects and therefore four projects are set out in the Policy Address . I cannot undertake here that all the seven projects will be taken forward concurrently for priorities have been set in the order of Tung Chung Line Extension Tuen Mun South Extension Northern Link and South Island Line West in the Invigorating Island South initiative
我會親自督導這項工作，希望能加快進度。
I will personally monitor and steer this project in the hope of speeding up its progress
第一期的古洞站，希望爭取到配合古洞新發展區的人口在入住時可以享用鐵路交通；但下一階段連接到西鐵的一段要加快，我已親自和港鐵公司主席和行政總裁會面，希望他們能在這方面加快，我會繼續督促這項工作。
As for Kwu Tung Station in Phase 1 we will strive to tie in with the population intake in the Kwu Tung new development area so that the residents can enjoy the railway services upon moving in there . But the section connecting the West Rail in the next phase has to be expedited . I have personally met with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MTRCL hoping that they can speed up in this regard
主席，我很感謝行政長官給予正面的回應。
President I very much thank the Chief Executive for giving a positive response
的確，政府的交通規劃往往是需求帶動，以滿足交通的需求為主導。
It is true that the Governments transport planning is often driven by demand with the aim of meeting the demand for transport services
我聽到行政長官的回應後，想進一步問行政長官日後會否採納供應帶動的規劃考慮，主動以各種基建推進地區的發展？
Having listened to the Chief Executives response I would like to further put a question to the Chief Executive . Will the Government adopt a supply - driven approach in its planning consideration in future and proactively make use of various infrastructure projects to promote the development of the districts?
例如社會上討論已久的荃灣─屯門鐵路，這對於發展新界西和在車站上蓋提供更多發展空間是十分有利的。
An example is the Tsuen Wan―Tuen Mun railway which has long been discussed in society and it is most conducive to the development of New Territories West and to providing more space for development above the stations
我希望政策上能有所調整，改以供應帶動，從而達致"路到人到，路到財到"。
I hope that the policy can be adjusted with the adoption of a supply - driven approach so that with the building of roads people will come and so will money
簡單而言這是我們的策略，特別是在人工島填海方面，即整個"明日大嶼"的工作，大家可見很多都是運輸的基建。
Put simply this is our strategy especially in respect of reclamation for the artificial islands ie . the entire Lantau Tomorrow project Members can see that it is comprised mainly of transport infrastructure
事實上，純粹填海的費用不是多得太厲害，但一系列的道路、鐵路的運輸基建以達致剛才盧議員說的效益，是這個項目中的主要成分。
In fact the costs incurred by reclamation alone are not exorbitantly high but a series of roads and railway - related transport infrastructure required in order to achieve the benefits expounded by Ir Dr LO earlier is the key component of this project
我們會繼續在這方面採取此策略來跟進，多謝盧議員。
We will continuously adopt this strategy in following up the work in this respect . Thank you Ir Dr LO
主席，行政長官，我一直十分支持香港發展成為智慧城市。
President and Chief Executive I have always been supportive of the development of Hong Kong into a smart city
政府於去年12月底推出"智方便"一站式個人化數碼服務平台， 目的是讓市民透過流動應用程式使用網上服務，我已下載並登記成為"智方便"用戶。
At the end of December last year the Government launched a one - stop personalized digital services platform called iAM Smart which aims at enabling members of the public to access online services through the mobile app . I have downloaded iAM Smart and registered as a user
這平台確實可以連接很多項政府及公用事業的網上服務，包括身份認證、自動填表、個人化提示等。
This platform can indeed connect to many online services of the Government and public utilities including identity authentication automatic form filling and personalized notification
然而，如果要使用另一項數碼簽署功能，作車輛牌照續期、報稅等用途，便要帶同身份證到全港121間郵局的登記服務櫃位，升級至"智方便+"，然後才能使用。
However if I want to use the digital signing function for such purposes as renewal of vehicle licences and filing tax return I have to bring along my identity card and go to the registration service counter located at any of the 121 post offices in Hong Kong for an upgrade to iAM Smart . Only then can I use it . Actually when people register for iAM Smart they already need to use their mobile phones to scan their identity cards
現時在疫情下，郵局減少了服務時間，櫃位經常有很多人輪候，這安排令用家感受十分差。
Under the present epidemic the post offices have cut down the service hours and there are often many people waiting at the counters which makes users feel very bad . Currently bank account opening can already be done online in Hong Kong
香港現時已實現網上開立銀行戶口，但"智方便"還要分兩步進行登記，以及非網上進行升級，實在與時代有點脫節，我相信這樣難以吸引大量市民試用及登記。
Yet registration for iAM Smart has to be conducted in two steps and upgrade cannot be carried out online . It is indeed a bit behind the times . As such I believe it can hardly attract a large number of people to try it and register
行政長官，既然"智方便"是推動香港智慧城市發展的重要數碼建設，政府推出服務的目的應該以用家體驗為本，市民才會樂於享用。
Chief Executive since iAM Smart is an important digital facility to promote the development of Hong Kong into a smart city the Government should launch the service with user experience in mind . Only then will members of the public be willing to use it
請問政府會否考慮優化數碼簽署功能，在登記"智方便"時一併進行，讓市民能更方便地使用這項服務呢？
Will the Government consider enhancing the function of digital signing by including it in the registration for iAM Smart such that members of the public can use this service more conveniently?
主席，多謝陳議員推介我們在12月推出的"智方便"，我明白陳議員希望我們在應用科技方面做到越來越方便市民，不過針對這個數碼簽署，是有一定的法定要求。
President I thank Mr CHAN for recommending iAM Smart introduced by us in December . I understand that Mr CHAN wants us to bring greater convenience to the public in the application of technologies but there are certain statutory requirements for digital signing
按《電子交易條例》現時的要求，因為是申請電子證書作為數碼簽署，是需要相對嚴謹和面對面的方式去核實申請人的身份才可以做，所以在登記"智方便＋"方面是需要有一次只要一次做到面對面核實功能，以後就安枕無憂，可以用"智方便＋"。
As currently required by the Electronic Transactions Ordinance since digital signing is used for applications for e - Certs it is necessary to verify the applicants identity in a relatively stringent manner and in person . For this reason the registration for iAM Smart requires identity verification to be conducted in person once―only once―after which iAM Smart can be used worry - free
我們現在安排有興趣的市民去郵局，正如陳議員剛才所說，有超過120個郵局讓郵局同事去核對市民的身份。
Under our present arrangement those who are interested may go to any of the post offices totalling more than 120 as Mr CHAN said just now for identity verification by postal officers . We will explore where we can set up more verification kiosks in the future
我們會在未來的日子探討在多些地方有這些核對站，譬如同事正構思在很快就開始啟用於18區的疫苗接種中心，市民走進疫苗接種中心都可以核對身份，尤其是可能在接種疫苗後會有十多二十分鐘坐着沒其他事做，我們盡量在那裏採用一些科技，讓市民申請，在那裏放一些櫃台，讓市民可以同時間做登記，有了"智方便＋"以後用其他數碼服務就會方便很多，現時的計劃是這樣，多謝陳議員。
For example our colleagues are thinking about facilitating identity verification for members of the public visiting the vaccination centres which will be commissioned in the 18 districts shortly particularly since people may have 10 to 20 minutes spare time having nothing to do there after receiving the vaccination . We will try to use some technologies to facilitate the public to make applications by setting up some counters there so that people may make the registration concurrently . With iAM Smart it will be much more convenient to use other digital services afterwards
很高興聽到行政長官說會繼續改善這項服務，但其實我留意到很多政府服務推出後，都沒有考慮市民作為用家的體驗，往往 要待社會上出現很多不同的聲音後，才開始改善。
I am glad to hear the Chief Executive say that there will be continual improvement in this service . However actually I have noticed that many government services failed to take into account the personal experience of members of the public as users after being launched . Very often improvement did not start until many different voices had emerged in society
事實上，現時都應該是在創新及科技局下有方便營商諮詢委員會，告訴我們怎樣去方便營商。
As a matter of fact currently it should be the Business Facilitation Advisory Committee under the Innovation and Technology Bureau which tells us how to facilitate business
陳議員的意見就是成立方便市民應用科技的委員會或聚焦小組，去聽取市民對於應用我們各式各樣的科技有甚麼新看法，多謝陳議員。
Mr CHANs view is that a committee or focused group should be set up to facilitate the use of technologies by the public and gauge their new views on the application of our various types of technologies . Thank you Mr CHAN
二 衞生署於2008年設立中央器官捐贈登記名冊，為市民提供一個方便的途徑登記離世後捐贈器官的意願，同時為醫管局器官捐贈聯絡主任提供可靠及有效的方法，在病人身故 時確定他們生前已表明離世後捐贈器官的意願，以便盡快聯絡家屬並取得他們的同意，捐出死者的器官來救助有急切需要接受器官移植的病人。
2 DH launched the Centralised Organ Donation Register CODR in 2008 to provide members of the public with a convenient channel to register their wish to donate organs after death . CODR also provides a reliable and effective means for HAs Organ Donation Coordinators to ascertain upon patients death their previously expressed wish to donate organs so that they may approach the patients families as soon as possible to seek their consent for donation of the deceaseds organs in order to save patients in urgent need of organ transplant
截至2019年11月，中央器官捐贈登記名冊的登記人數超過31萬。
As at November 2019 over 310 000 registrations have been recorded in CODR
另一方面，《主題性住戶統計調查》推算有超過150萬人願意在離世後捐出器官，反映有大部分人仍未將信念轉變為行動。
On the other hand the latest Thematic Household Survey THS has projected that more than 1.5 million people are willing to donate their organs after death reflecting that most people have yet to turn their beliefs into actions
今年11月至12月期間，我們已安排一輛器官捐贈宣傳車到訪不同地點，推廣及方便市民登記器官捐贈。
This year we have arranged an organ donation promotion vehicle to various locations from November to December in order to raise public awareness of organ donation and facilitate organ donation registration
據報，自本年6月以來，在警方進行驅散示威者行動期間，有多宗安老及康復服務單位內人士因吸入催淚煙而不適的個案，包括下述兩宗：8月5日，至少有13枚催淚彈被射進明愛賽馬會荃灣服務樓的範圍，而樓內設有護理安老院和長者日間護理中心； 10月28日，催淚煙攻入位於警方大興行動基地附近的嚴重弱智人士宿舍及長期護理院。
It has been reported that during the Polices operations to disperse demonstrators since June this year there have been a number of cases in which persons in elderly and rehabilitation service units felt unwell due to inhalation of tear gas including the following two cases on 5 August at least 13 rounds of tear gas were fired into the precincts of Caritas Jockey Club Tsuen Wan Social Service Building which housed a care and attention home for the elderly and a day care centre for the elderly; and on 28 October tear gas billowed into a hostel for severely mentally handicapped persons and a long stay care home located in the vicinity of the Polices Tai Hing Operational Base
主席，社會福利署不時與營運安老及康復服務單位的資助及非資助機構聯絡，了解其運作情況，並在有必要時提供適當的提示與支援。在可預知的大型公眾活動舉辦前，社署會特別提醒相關服務單位負責人須採取適當應變措施，保障長者及殘疾人士的安全。此外，社署地區福利辦事處亦會與當區警署保持溝通，通知警方社福單位的位置，尤其包括安老院及殘疾人士院舍。
President the Social Welfare Department SWD maintains regular contacts with elderly and rehabilitation service units operated by subsidized and non - subsidized organizations to keep tabs of their operations and provide them with appropriate reminders and assistance when necessary
主席，衞生署衞生防護中心的健康資訊清楚指出，有研究指催淚煙對生理和心理健康有持續的影響，特別在兒童、長者、患呼吸系統疾病或有敏感情況的人士等。
President it is pointed out clearly in the health information issued by the Centre for Health Protection of DH that certain studies suggest that exposure to tear gas could cause persistent physical and psychological illnesses and particularly so for children the elderly and patients with respiratory diseases or allergies
然而，局長在主體答覆只不斷重複指出，根據局方資料，受催淚煙影響的人士只會出現輕微的呼吸困難和皮膚不適的情況。
However in the main reply the Secretary keeps repeating that according to the information of the Bureau persons exposed to tear gas would only experience mild respiratory and skin irritation
局長也知道，很多文獻也指出催淚煙的影響是長期，甚至是永久的。
As the Secretary is also aware a lot of literature has already pointed out that the impact of exposure to tear gas is long - term and even permanent
如果局方不進行跟進調查和研究，根本無法知道催淚煙的影響，尤其是對相對體弱人士的影響，而局長甚至連統計數字也沒有。
If the Bureau does not conduct follow - up investigation and studies it can in no way know the impact of tear gas particularly the impact on infirm persons not to mention that the Secretary does not even have the relevant statistics
我想問局長，既然他知道這些影響是長期甚至永久的，為何當局不對體弱人士作出長期跟進、調查和研究，以了解今次警方大量使用催淚煙對香港市民的健康有甚麼影響？
I would like to ask the Secretary one question . As he knows that the impact is long - term and even permanent why have the authorities not done any long - term follow - up work investigation and studies to understand the health impact on the people of Hong Kong resulting from the heavy use of tear gas by the Police this time around?
主席，我在主體答覆已經提及食衞局和醫管局提供的資料指出，接觸催淚煙的人士一般會出現輕微的呼吸系統和皮膚不適，但對身體並沒有嚴重的影響。
President I have already mentioned in my main reply that according to the information provided by the Food and Health Bureau and HA persons exposed to tear gas would generally experience mild respiratory and skin irritation and there was also no serious health impact to the body
主席，在過去數場暴亂衝突中，有一些滋事、暴亂分子似乎刻意選擇在設有安老院舍和社福機構的地方聚集，並與警方發生衝突。
President in the several riots occurred in the past certain trouble - makers and rioters seemed to have deliberately chosen to gather in areas where elderly homes and welfare organizations were located and staged confrontations with the Police
與此同時，安老院舍的室內空氣質素一直備受關注，就此，政府會否推行一些改善安老院舍空氣質素的措施，並進行一些研究，以期令長者有更好的居住環境？
At the same time the indoor air - quality of elderly homes has always been a cause of concern . Hence will the Government introduce some measures to improve the air - quality of elderly homes and conduct some studies with a view to providing a better living environment for the elderly?
局長，你可以選擇回答其中一項。
Secretary you may choose to answer any one of them
主席，就第一部分，我相信警方已經多次作出有關呼籲。
President for the first part of the question I believe the Police have made the relevant appeals time and again
主席，我很關心在今次修例風波的暴力衝突中受影響的社會服務單位，不論是私營或公營的，我也關心有關的服務使用者。
President I am concerned about the social service units affected by the violent confrontations arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments . Regardless of whether such units are in the public sector or the private sector I am concerned about their service users
表達意見和訴求，完全不是問題，但眾所周知，沒有違法的暴力就不會有燃燒彈，更不會有催淚煙，即如果示威人士不投擲燃燒彈，警方就無須使用催淚彈。
Expression of views and demands is definitely not an issue . Yet it is obvious to all that if there was no unlawful violence there would not be any petrol bombs not to say tear gas . In other words if protesters did not hurl petrol bombs the Police would not have to fire tear gas canisters
主席，自反修例風波爆發以來，示威者的暴力行為不斷升級，和平遊行往往演變為激烈的打砸搶燒，警方除了使用水炮車驅散人群外，亦會發射催淚彈。
President since the outbreak of the disturbances arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments the violent acts of protesters have been escalating and peaceful marches have often ended in radical incidents of beating destruction looting and arson . Apart from using water cannon vehicles to disperse the crowd the Police have also fired tear gas canisters
坊間經常流傳催淚彈會釋放二噁英和含有化學物，不過，香港中文大學生命科學學院最近曾抽取泥土和水樣本送往加拿大化驗，發現 未有含有二噁英。
The hearsay that tear gas canisters release dioxin and contain chemical substance has been circulated widely in the community . Yet the School of Life Science of The Chinese University of Hong Kong has recently sent soil and water samples to Canada for testing and no dioxin has been found in such samples
有學者指出，施放催淚彈的燃燒溫度和時間不足以產生二噁英。
Some academics have pointed out that the temperature and duration of combustion in the course of firing tear gas canisters have not reached the level of dioxin generation
雖然坊間眾說紛紜，但警方一直以涉及行動細節理由不能公開催淚彈成分。
Despite all kinds of hearsay circulating in the community the Police keep saying that content of tear gas canisters cannot be released as it involves the details of operations
由於關乎公眾安全和知情權，公開催淚彈成分有助釋除公眾疑慮，我想問局長會否考慮建議政府公開催淚彈的成分呢？
Since it is a matter of public safety and right to access of information making the content of tear gas public will be conducive to the removal of public doubts . May I ask the Secretary whether he will consider suggesting the Government making public the content of tear gas canisters?
主席，這方面，政府曾多次回答，而不同局長也曾作出回覆，答覆也如局長今天所表示，就是催淚煙產生的二噁英的影響，遠遠不及暴徒四處放火、燃點汽油彈、燒垃圾、燒欄杆等所產生的二噁英和對市民造成的傷害。
President the Government has answered a number of times and various Directors of Bureaux have offered their replies in this regard . The replies were the same as the Secretarys reply today which states that the impact of dioxin produced by tear gas is incomparable to the dioxin generated by rioters acts of arson ignition of petrol bombs and the burning of garbage and barriers or to the damage done to the public caused by rioters
可是，反對派和外面部分媒體不斷炒作催淚煙的影響，直至今天，即使政府已多番解釋，他們仍然繼續炒作。
However the opposition camp and some of the media outside keep playing up the impact of tear gas and to date despite the repeated explanation of the Government they continue to play up the case
今天提到對長者、殘疾人士和護理院舍的影響，我們也知道近來有很多暴力行為出現在安老院舍和護理院舍附近，包括交通燈被拆除，或是在附近縱火，其實也造成很大的影響。
We have mentioned the impact on the elderly persons with disabilities and residential care homes today and we all know that many violent acts have occurred in the vicinity of residential care homes for the elderly and persons with disabilities as well as care - and - attention homes including the demolition of traffic lights and setting fire in the vicinity all of which have caused severe impact
事實上，我們一直十分擔心，這些火警會影響附近居民和安老院舍。
In fact we are quite concerned that such fires will affect the residents and elderly homes nearby
最後，很多市民看到四處也有汽油彈，大學內竟然發現4000多枚汽油彈，大家都十分擔心，因為經常有人在街上擲汽油彈。
Finally many members of the public have noticed that petrol bombs are found everywhere . There are as many as 4 000 petrol bombs in the campus of a university . We are deeply worried about that as petrol bombs are hurled frequently on the streets
其實，汽油彈真的能夠殺人，對周圍的空氣亦可能有很大影響，而我們也很想知道這方面的情況。
In fact petrol bombs can really be lethal . Moreover petrol bombs may seriously affect the air quality in the surrounding environment and we earnestly want to know the situation in this respect
我想問局長，燃點這些汽油彈及在社區不同地方儲存大量汽油彈，對整個社區有何影響，以及政府會如何清理在汽油彈燃點後及燃燒這些廢物後的環境？
Regarding the burning of petrol bombs and the storage of a large number of petrol bombs in various locations in the community may I ask the Secretary what impact this will have on the community as a whole and what actions the Government will take to clean up the environment where petrol bombs are ignited and garbage is burnt?
局長說在哪處施放催淚彈並非由警方決定，而是犯法的人決定。
The Secretary said that it was not for the Police to decide the locations for firing tear gas but persons committing illegal acts
局長在主體答覆指出，警方在行動前會盡可能透過各種渠道與一些老人院舍緊密聯繫，提醒他們警方可能採取的行動，希望他們可以作出相應安排。
In the main reply the Secretary has pointed out that before operations the Police will as far as possible maintain close contact with certain elderly homes through various channels to remind them of Polices possible actions and hope that they can make arrangements accordingly
他亦指出，社署會特別提醒相關服務單位負責人採取適當的應變措施。
He has also pointed out that SWD will remind the persons - in - charge of the relevant service units specifically to adopt appropriate contingency measures
主席，我手上有一張通告，是警方在8月4日發給所謂"在這些公眾活動附近會受影響的人士"的，叫作"警方呼籲關好門窗及留在室內"的通告，內容就是這樣，多一句也沒有。
President the circular I am holding was issued by the Police on 4 August to persons affected by public order events in the vicinity . The circular is captioned to the effect Polices appeal to keep windows closed and to stay indoors yet the circular just includes this line with no other content
當然，有很多事件並非在既定的遊行路線發生，事前無法預知哪些地方可能會有縱火或有群眾聚集，而警方需要使用催淚煙驅散群眾。
Certainly many incidents do not take place along the designated route of processions . There is no way to predict where fires will be set and where crowds will gather and prompt the Police to use tear gas to disperse them
