我想問發展局，除了以豁免補地價提供誘因之外，究竟會否採取一些更主動和積極的措施，令發展商與整個政府或民間的意見一致，然後朝着這方向發展天橋，而不是豁免補地價之後讓發展商不斷興建天橋，但卻與市民的意願不相符。
May I ask the Development Bureau apart from providing waiver of land premium as an incentive whether it will adopt more proactive and positive measures to ensure that the developers views are consistent with those of the Government or the community at large and then develop footbridges in this direction rather than waiving the land premium and giving the developers a free hand to continuously construct footbridges not in line with the wish of the people?
雖然局長說在規劃中會有這些設施，但如何解決"開荒牛"現時日常生活的問題？
Although the Secretary said that these facilities will be included in the planning what will the Government do to address the problems currently faced by these pioneers in their daily living?
相信盧議員也明白，當市民剛開始遷入一個新發展區時，可能人數仍未達到所謂的critical mass，即未達到最低的門檻，令某些設施得以提供。
I believe Ir Dr LO will also understand that when residents have just moved into an NDA their number may not reach the so - called critical mass which is the lowest threshold for the provision of certain facilities
當政府發展很多新發展區的時候，包括發展新的屋邨時，也經常面對這樣的問題。
This is also the problem often faced by the Government in developing many NDAs including new housing estates
如何在公共交通方面盡快、盡早提供適當的服務呢？
How can we provide suitable public transport services expeditiously and as early as possible?
盧議員，我不否認這是一項大挑戰，政府也並非在每區都做得很好，但現屆政府對此是清楚的，而我們亦會努力去做。
Ir Dr LO there is no denying that this is a big challenge and the Government is not doing an excellent job in each and every district but the current - term Government is aware of the situation and we will work hard on it
當不同地區出現這種情況，透過民政事務總署的系統，其實是會有反饋給予政府的相關部門。
When such a situation arises in different districts there is feedback given to the relevant government departments through the system of the Home Affairs Department
我們會努力處理這方面的工作，而我們亦承認這方面的工作是必須處理的。
We will make an effort to deal with this area of work and we admit that it is necessary to do so
代理主席，2011年已經開始刊憲的九龍灣行人天橋至今還未完成。
Deputy President the elevated walkway system in Kowloon Bay gazetted in 2011 has not yet been completed
此外，在九龍灣及觀塘區以外，目前還有3宗申請正在處理中，涉及的都是其他市區的地方。
Besides other than applications concerning Kowloon Bay and Kwun Tong we are currently processing three applications for places in other districts
至於這方案有否具成效，我們覺得有一定的成效；至於能否做得更好？
As to whether this measure will be effective we consider that it will yield certain results
代理主席，我剛才談到推動電動車發展，並非要為車主或車廠說話，而是為香港的空氣質素發聲。
Deputy President just now I was saying that I raised the issue of promoting the development of EVs for neither for vehicle owners nor manufacturers but out of the concern for the air quality of Hong Kong
《空氣污染管制條例》訂明空氣質素的指標，而就這些指標的整體政策目標，政府的說法是，用合理而實際可行的方法，盡速使空氣質素達至可接受的水平，從而保障市民的健康。
Air quality objectives are set out in the Air Pollution Control Ordinance . Regarding the overall policy targets of these air quality objectives the Government says that these targets will be achieved by reasonably practicable approaches as soon as possible to ensure that air quality attains an acceptable standard thereby protecting the health of the public
因此，我具體要問局長的補充質詢，就是希望局長今天說明政府對電動車發展的政策，是否以推動電動車大眾化和普及化為目標？
Hence my supplementary question for the Secretary specifically asks him to state clearly whether the Governments policy on EVs seeks to promote the popularization and universalness of EVs
簡單來說，是否以提升電動車在私家車整數量中所佔的比例為目標？
In brief is it the aim of the authorities to raise the proportion of EVs in the total number of private cars?
長遠來說，當局會否以淘汰燃油車為目標，並訂定目標年份，以進一步推動電動車的發展？
In the long run is it the target of the authorities to phase out petroleum vehicles? . Will it set a target year for achieving this objective as a way to promote the further development of EVs?
局長，許議員詢問當局會否推動電動車普及化。
Secretary Mr HUI asked whether the authorities would promote the popularization of EVs
尚有8位議員在輪候提問，但由於本會就這項質詢已用了超過22分鐘，請有關議員在其他場合跟進。
Eight Members are waiting to ask questions but since this Council has already spent 22 minutes on this question will the Members concerned please follow it up on other occasions
香港法律改革委員會於2012年5月發表報告書，建議本港引入集體訴訟機制。
The Law Reform Commission of Hong Kong LRC published a report in May 2012 proposing the introduction of a mechanism for class actions in Hong Kong
律政司成立的跨界別工作小組於2013年2月就報告書的建議展開研究，但至今仍未公布研究結果。
A cross - sector working group established by the Department of Justice commenced in February 2013 a study on the proposals of the report but it has not published the results of the study so far
就此，政府可否告知本會：一是否知悉，過去3年獲消費者訴訟基金資助的訴訟案件數目，以及當中屬集體訴訟的案件數目為何； 二鑒於有評論指出，消費者訴訟基金的審批過程繁複，政府是否知悉消委會有否檢視現行審批程序，並作出改善；若有，改善措施為何；若否，原因為何；及三鑒於政府至今仍未就引入集體訴訟機制公布落實時間表，當局有否評估該情況如何影響小市民獲得司法濟助的權利；若有評估，詳情為何？
In this connection will the Government inform this Council 1 whether it knows the number of proceedings subsidized by the Fund in the past three years and among them the number of class action proceedings; 2 as there are comments that the vetting and approval procedure of the Fund is complicated whether the Government knows if the Consumer Council has reviewed the existing vetting and approval procedure and made improvements; if the Consumer Council has of the improvement measures; if not the reasons for that; and 3 given that the Government has not yet announced a timetable for the implementation of a class action mechanism whether the authorities have assessed how this affects the rights of the general public to obtain judicial relief; if so of the details?
代理主席，就質詢的第一及二部分，我的答覆如下： 消費者訴訟基金為信託基金，目的是向消費者提供經濟支援及法律協助，讓消費者有尋求法律補償的途徑。
Deputy President my consolidated reply to the first two parts of the question is as follows The Consumer Legal Action Fund the Fund is a trust fund set up to provide greater consumer access to legal remedies by providing financial support and legal assistance . The Consumer Council is the trustee of the Fund
消費者委員會為基金的信託人，基金的執行委員會負責基金的一切行政事宜，並根據消費者訴訟基金管理委員會的建議批准或拒絕申請。
The Board of Administrators of the Fund the Board is responsible for the overall administration of the Fund and it approves or rejects an application based on the recommendation of the Management Committee of the Fund
基金處理申請時，主要考慮因素包括個案是否涉及重大的消費者利益或公義、受影響的人數、勝訴的機會及對不當經營手法能否產生阻嚇作用等。
In considering applications to the Fund factors for consideration include whether significant public interest and injustice are involved the number of consumers affected the chance of success in litigation and whether there would be deterrent effect on unscrupulous business practices
法律協助的方式可包括向申請人提供法律意見、協助或委任律師及大律師代表申請人。
Legal assistance may be in the form of advice assistance and representation by a solicitor and counsel
消費者可直接向基金申請援助，或經由消委會轉介。
Consumers may apply directly to the Fund or through referral by the Consumer Council
首先，申請人可以親身、書面或以電話向消委會屬下任何一個投訴及諮詢中心提出投訴，消委會會了解情況，並聯絡被投訴的一方，以進行調停。
An applicant may first lodge a complaint at one of the Complaints and Advice Centres of the Consumer Council in person in writing or by telephone . The Consumer Council would ascertain the facts of the case contact the party being complained against and try to resolve the dispute through conciliation
如個案未獲解決，而有關投訴具充分理據並符合基金的審批準則，消委會職員會協助申請人填寫申請書及解答查詢，並把申請遞交管理委員會考慮。
If the case could not be resolved and the complaint is substantiated and meets the criteria of the Fund the staff of the Consumer Council will assist the applicant to fill in the application answer any enquiries and refer the case to the Management Committee for consideration
基金自1994年成立以來，截至2017年3月，共處理1,329宗申請，其中175宗在申請期間問題已獲解決，另外有700宗申請獲基金批予協助，獲得賠償的有210宗。
Since the Fund was established in 1994 and up to March 2017 the Fund processed 1 329 applications of which 175 cases were resolved during the application process while assistance was granted by the Fund to 700 cases and 210 of these cases resulted in compensation being granted
代理主席，正如局長在主體答覆中指出，基金的目的旨在保障消費者的權益，而消費者集體訴訟機制亦同時多提供一項保障消費者的司法途徑。
Deputy President as pointed out by the Secretary in the main reply the purpose of the Fund is to protect consumers rights while a class action mechanism provides an additional avenue for the protection of consumers
由於法改會的集體訴訟小組委員會現時亦有消委會的代表，我想問局長，這個小組委員會有否了解所遇到的困難為何，同時會否考慮作出平衡，以免損害香港的營商環境？
Given that the Consumer Council is also represented in LRCs Class Actions Sub - committee may I ask the Secretary whether this Sub - committee understands the difficulties involved and whether it will consider striking a balance in order not to jeopardize the business environment in Hong Kong?
集體訴訟是一套法律程序，而正如周議員所說，就這方面而言，律政司已成立一個跨界別的工作小組負責研究法改會的建議，而在研究過程中會考慮不同持份者包括商務及經濟發展局和消委會的意見。
Class actions are a set of legal procedures and as Mr CHOW has said in this respect a cross - sector working group has been established by DoJ to study the proposals of LRC and in this study consideration will be given to the views of various stakeholders including the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau and the Consumer Council
多謝郭議員的補充質詢。
I thank Mr KWOK for his supplementary question
正如我剛才答覆周議員的質詢時所指，我們現時未有具體時間表。
As I said in reply to Mr CHOWs question earlier we do not have a specific timetable at the moment
至於郭議員剛才問及香港聯合交易所有限公司在2015年發布的不同投票權架構的概念文件，諮詢總結提到聯交所不認為集體訴訟機制是接受不同投票權架構所需的先決條件。
Just now Mr KWOK asked about the concept paper on weighted voting rights published by the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong HKEX in 2015 . In its conclusions it is said that HKEX does not believe that a class action regime is a necessary prerequisite for the acceptability of weighted voting rights structures
有關"同股不同權"的議題由財經事務及庫務局負責，我會把議員的意見轉達相關同事。
The issue of weighted voting rights is under the charge of the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau . I will convey the Honourable Members views to the colleagues concerned
代理主席，古語有云"衙門八字開，有理無錢莫進來"。
Deputy President there is an old Chinese saying which goes like this The court opens for the rich people who have reasons but not the money are not welcome
在香港打官司，訴訟費用一定很高昂。
In Hong Kong the litigation costs are definitely exorbitant for anyone involved in a court case
我想問基金有否足夠資源？
My question is Does the Fund have sufficient resources?
感謝黃議員的補充質詢。
I thank Mr WONG for his supplementary question
首先，就議員剛才提到訴訟費高昂的問題，基金並沒有就個別申請所需的費用訂出上限。
First of all on the question of exorbitant litigation costs mentioned by the Honourable Member just now the Fund does not impose a cap on the amount of funds sought in each application
政府在1994年成立基金時曾向基金注資撥款1,000萬元，並曾在2010-2011年度再向基金提供1,000萬元。
The Government injected 10 million into the Fund upon its inception in 1994 and made another provision of 10 million to it in 2010 - 2011
在今年3月，基金的結餘為894萬元。
In March this year the Fund recorded a balance of 8.94 million
我們認為基金有足夠資金為有需要的消費者提供合適的法律協助。
We consider that the Fund is sufficient for providing appropriate legal assistance to consumers in need
我們會留意基金的財政情況，並在有需要時作出合適的安排。
We will keep in view the financial position of the Fund and make appropriate arrangements where necessary
代理主席，我留意到獲基金批予協助的申請有700宗，而其中未再跟進的案件有465宗，屬"無賠償可能"的個案。
Deputy President I have noted that the Fund has granted assistance to 700 applications of which 465 cases have not been pursued further for they are cases with no recovery prospect
首先，消委會在處理消費者與商戶的糾紛時，主要透過擔當調停人的角色，以靈活手法協助商戶與投訴人解決糾紛。
First of all the Consumer Council handles disputes between consumers and shops mainly by acting as a mediator to assist the shops and the complainants in resolving their disputes in a flexible manner
事實上，在每年的投訴中，大部分投訴個案亦能以這種方法獲得解決。
As a matter of fact most of the complaints received every year can be resolved by this means
舉例而言，在消委會於2016-2017年度接獲的16,000多宗可跟進的投訴中，約有74%由消委會成功調停解決。
For instance of the 16 000 - odd complaints with pursuable groundsreceived by the Consumer Council in 2016 - 2017 about 74 % were resolved by the Consumer Council through conciliation
其他處理投訴的方法包括轉介香港海關或其他合適的執法部門及監管機構跟進，而當中適合以訴訟方式解決的個案其實不多。
Other ways of handling complaints include referring the cases to the Customs and Excise Department or other law enforcement agencies and regulators as appropriate for follow - up and actually not many of the cases were suitable for resolution by way of litigation
至於容議員剛才提到的"無賠償可能"的個案，大多由於相關商戶已經倒閉。
As for those cases with no recovery prospect mentioned by Ms YUNG earlier in most cases it was because the shops in question had closed down
此外，我剛才在主體答覆中提到，即使個案並無賠償可能，但在商戶倒閉前，基金其實不但會協助消費者提出訴訟，更會提供不同類型的法律協助，包括為申請人提供法律意見，以及協助委任律師或大律師代表申請人。
Moreover as I said in the main reply earlier even for cases with no recovery prospect before the closure of the shops the Fund will not only assist consumers in initiating legal proceedings but also provide various kinds of legal assistance which can be in the form of legal advice and assistance for representation by a solicitor or counsel
多年來，基金曾協助不少申請人就商戶的苛刻或不良經營手法索償，並在具有重大消費者利益的事件中協助消費者。
Over the years the Fund has assisted many applicants in claiming compensation for harsh or unscrupulous practices of shops and provided assistance to consumers in incidents involving significant consumer interest
以往的成功例子包括向銀行和地產等不同行業取得賠償，對不良經營手法有一定的阻嚇作用。
There have been successful examples of obtaining compensation from various sectors including the banking and real estate sectors which have produced a certain deterrent effect against unscrupulous practices
代理主席，局長剛才在答覆時承認，如果在香港推行集體訴訟，確實有可能對香港的營商環境帶來一些潛在風險及影響其競爭優勢，而這亦是工作小組現正進行的研究的範圍。
Deputy President in his reply earlier the Secretary admitted that it is indeed possible for class actions if implemented in Hong Kong to bring potential risks to the business environment of Hong Kong and undermine its competitive edges and this is also included in the scope of the study being conducted by the working group
我想問局長關於現正進行研究的工作小組的職權範圍。
I would like to ask the Secretary about the terms of reference of the working group which is now conducting the study
根據律政司提供的資料，在研究是否在香港落實集體訴訟這議題時，政府必須考慮不同 因素及社會的整體利益，也會在適當時諮詢各界，不會只考慮某一方的意見或側重某一界別的利益。
According to the information provided by DoJ when studying whether class actions should be implemented in Hong Kong the Government must take into account various factors and the overall interest of society and also consult all sectors of the community in due course rather than considering only the views of a certain party or placing undue emphasis on the interest of a certain sector
雖然集體訴訟機制的目的旨在促進尋求司法濟助的渠道暢通，但同時亦要防止申索人可能濫用機制以致造成動輒訴訟的文化，因為這種情況無助於香港的整體利益，更可能損害香港整體營商環境。
Even though the objective of a class action mechanism is to promote access to judicial remedies it is also necessary to prevent possible abuse of the mechanism by claimants which will otherwise result in a culture of resorting to litigation easily for this will not be conducive to the overall interest of Hong Kong and worse still it may jeopardize the overall business environment in Hong Kong
至於應如何設立適當的保障措施以防機制被濫用而同時又不會對其構成窒礙，以致不能達到預期目的是一個複雜的問題。
It is a complicated question as to how appropriate safeguards can be put in place to prevent abuse of the mechanism without impeding the mechanism to the extent that its intended purpose cannot be served
要達致這種微妙平衡，我們需加以考慮和處理。
This is what we need to consider and address in order to achieve a subtle balance
另一方面，我們十分鼓勵業界採用替代爭議解決機制，意思是在法律訴訟以外解決糾紛的方法，例如仲裁或調解等，而這也是工作小組會研究的課題。
On the other hand we very much encourage the industries to adopt an alternative dispute resolution process to settle disputes by means outside of the courtroom such as arbitration and conciliation . This is also an issue that will be studied by the working group
當然，現階段尚未有定案，而政府對這議題保持開放態度。
Of course no conclusion has yet been reached at this stage and the Government is open on this issue
代理主席，我記得數年前，不同的專業學會曾組織一次研討會，討論集體訴訟的問題。
Deputy President I recall that a few years ago various professional institutes organized a seminar on class actions
當時，一位來自美國的專家表示，在美國推行集體訴訟後，最終採用這種方式的個案比例相當少。
At that time an expert from the United States said that quite a small percentage of cases eventually resorted to class actions after this mechanism was introduced in the United States
百分之九十以上的個案達成和解，因為連大機構也無法承擔一旦集體訴訟成功對機構帶來的深遠影響，故寧願達成和解，但其實這並不健康。
Over 90 % of the cases were settled through conciliation because even large corporations could hardly cope with the far - reaching impact to be brought on them by a successful case of class action and so they would prefer to settle the disputes through conciliation but this is actually not healthy
因此，我想問局長，律政司對於現正展開的這項研究，是否掌握足夠資料及曾經參考外國在這方面的成功及失敗經驗？
In this connection may I ask the Secretary with regard to this study which is underway now whether DoJ has obtained sufficient information and drawn reference from overseas experiences of successes and failures?
因為我相信香港商界與專業人士均非常關注一旦集體訴訟真的在香港推行所帶來的嚴重後果。
It is because we believe the business sector and professionals in Hong Kong are greatly concerned about the grave consequences of class actions once they are really implemented in Hong Kong
多謝盧議員的意見，而我亦聽到你的意見。
I thank Ir Dr LO for his views and I have taken note of them
代理主席，據悉，《粵港澳大灣區城市群發展規劃》已基本定稿，並將提交予國務院審批，以爭取於本年底頒布。
Deputy President it is learnt that the Development Plan for a City Cluster in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area has basically been finalized and will be submitted to the State Council for vetting and approval with a view to its promulgation by the end of this year
有不少市民向本人反映，該規劃的落實會為港人提供更多於粵港澳大灣區的各內地城市創業和就業的機會。
Quite a number of members of the public have relayed to me that the implementation of the Plan will provide Hong Kong people with more opportunities for starting businesses and taking up employment in various Mainland cities within the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area
區內鐵路、高鐵、高速公路、航空和航海網絡日趨完善，特別是一些大型跨境基建設施，例如港珠澳大橋、廣深港高速鐵路香港段和蓮塘/香園圍口岸未來將陸續落成，這將有助促使大灣區內人員、資金、技術等流動更為順暢。
The rail high - speed rail expressway aviation and maritime networks within the Bay Area are improving . In particular cross - boundary infrastructure facilities such as the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge the Hong Kong Section of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL and the LiantangHeung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point will soon be completed . This will help foster the smooth flow of people capital technology and so forth within the Bay Area
此外，大灣區內的城市人口超過6,600萬人，經濟規模超過14,000億美元。
Further the Bay Area cities have a population of over 66 million and the size of their economies is over US1.4 trillion
因此，大灣區極有潛力成為具備最高競爭力的灣區城市群，並可同時提升其宜居度和發展的可持續性。
As such the Bay Area has much potential to become a bay area city cluster of the highest competitiveness and has the ability to enhance its liveability and development sustainability
粵港澳大灣區建設是國家的重大發展戰略。
The development of the Bay Area is a key national development strategy
在"十九大報告"中，習近平主席明確要支持香港、澳門融入國家發展大局，以粵港澳大灣區建設、粵港澳合作、泛珠三角區域合作等為重點，全面推進內地與香港、澳門互利合作，制訂完善便利香港、澳門居民在內地發展的政策措施。
In his report delivered at the 19 National Congress President XI Jinping made clear that they would continue to support Hong Kong and Macao in integrating their own development into the overall development of the country give priority to the development of the Bay Area cooperation between Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao and regional cooperation in the Pan - Pearl River Delta Pan - PRD thus fully advancing mutually beneficial cooperation between the Mainland and the two regions and formulate and improve policies and measures to make it more convenient for people from Hong Kong and Macao to develop careers in the Mainland
大灣區建設就是要體現這數項重要策略。
The development of the Bay Area is oriented to manifest the key strategies above
特區政府一直與廣東省政府及澳門特區政府緊密合作，共同配合國家發展和改革委員會推進《粵港澳大灣區發展規劃》的編製工作。
The HKSAR Government has all along been working closely with the Guangdong Provincial Government and the Macao SAR Government in drawing up the Development Plan for the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area jointly with the National Development and Reform Commission NDRC
在參與《規劃》編製的過程中，特區政府就《規劃》徵詢了業界及相關委員會的意見，收集到的意見主要包括 改善稅務安排、推行便利港人和車輛進入內地的措施，以及降低不同專業界別在大灣區執業或提供專業服務的門檻等。
In the process of Hong Kongs participation in drawing up the Development Plan the HKSAR Government has consulted industry sectors and relevant committees and the views received included improving tax arrangements introducing measures to facilitate the entry of Hong Kong people and vehicles to the Mainland and lowering the threshold for various professional sectors wishing to practise or provide professional services in the Bay Area
特區政府已向國家發改委作出全面反映。
The HKSAR Government has already reflected such proposals to NDRC in full
我現在只是要求在這項基礎上移除同時在兩地擔任職務的條件，藉大灣區及高鐵落成的機遇，只要他們前往內地上班，即日回港，便算作停留半天。
Now I only request on this basis removal of the requirement of concurrently having duties in both places . Taking the opportunities brought forth by the completion of the Bay Area and XRL so long as they go to work on the Mainland and return to Hong Kong on the same day they should be deemed to have stayed for half a day
又或者局長會否覺得，有了這項背景，信心會大很多呢？
Or perhaps given this piece of background information will the Secretary feel much more confident?
正如我在主體答覆中提到，當《規劃》於明年第一季頒布後，特區政府會就某些具體政策措施制訂工作計劃，而田議員提出的數項建議，我們屆時會仔細研究。
As I have mentioned in the main reply after the promulgation of the Development Plan in the first quarter of 2018 the HKSAR Government will devise concrete work plans on specific policies and measures . We will then carefully study the several suggestions made by Mr TIEN
其實，政府曾回覆表示已經與中央溝通，我希望局長會繼續積極溝通。
In fact the Government did reply that it had communicated with the Central Authorities . I hope the Secretary will maintain the proactive communication
我想問，大灣區會提供很好的發展機會，當局可否考慮採用先行先試的方式當然，這要與中央商討先接納我們的建議，讓在大灣區工作超過183天的港人無須繳付國內稅，只繳付香港稅？
May I ask given the good development opportunities provided by the Bay Area whether the authorities will consider accepting our proposal under the early and pilot implementation approach―certainly this requires discussion with the Central Authorities―requiring Hongkongers who have worked in the Bay Area for over 183 days to pay tax only in Hong Kong but not on the Mainland?
以大灣區作為試點，我認為有利港人在大灣區發展，特別是香港的專業人士。
Using the Bay Area as a test point in my view is conducive to the career development of Hongkongers especially Hong Kong professionals in the Bay Area
若即日來回便無須計算，我相信亦可以吸引更多專業人士來港。
I believe if same - day return is not counted it will attract more professionals to come to Hong Kong
林議員可以放心，正如我在主體答覆中指出，我們會在《規劃》頒布後，在落實工作計劃時，與內地中央部委積極跟進。
Mr LAM can rest assured . As I have pointed out in the main reply after the promulgation of the Development Plan we will follow it up actively with the Mainland central ministries during the implementation of the work plans
局長，就稅務安排，我想問一個較為另類的問題。
Secretary regarding the taxation arrangements I would like to ask a slightly different question
他會如何向中央官員解釋？
How will he explain it to the officials of the Central Authorities?
大灣區的發展有數項重點。
There are several salient points in the development of the Bay Area
以往我們與珠三角的合作，是地方政府與地方政府之間的交往。
Our past cooperation with PRD was dealings between regional governments
今次大灣區的發展有一個很大的特色，就是我們希望整個大灣區能發揮綜合優勢。
This time the development of the Bay Area has a major characteristic that is we hope the whole Bay Area can give play to its combined strength
早前民主建港協進聯盟要求政府為香港市民爭取一個國內身份證編號，提出"一卡兩號"的概念，一張回鄉卡既有回鄉卡編號，同時亦有國內身份證編號，讓大家在國內可以好像國內市民般，便利地使用各種支付服務或便利生活的服務。
Earlier on the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB has requested the Government to strive for a Mainland identity card number for Hongkongers . We have proposed the concept of one card with two numbers under which a Home Visit Permit can carry both a Home Visit Permit number and a Mainland identity card number thereby enabling us to conveniently use various types of payment or facilitation services on the Mainland just like Mainland citizens
在這方面，我想問局長，跟進的進度如何，可否告訴我們？
May I ask the Secretary the progress of the follow - up in this aspect? . Can he tell us about it?
這是一個很好的例子。
This is a very good example
至於日後會否有更多相類的例子？
Will there be more similar examples in future?
我的黨主席剛才曾就此提問，我想再細問，政府究竟有否在更高層次探索爭取國民待遇的方法和途徑，包括專業資格互認及投考公務員等方面的措施？
Just now the Chairperson of my party enquired about this and I would like to ask in further detail . Has the Government actually explored ways and means of striving for national treatment at a higher level including such measures as mutual recognition of professional qualifications and applications for civil service posts?
正如我在主體答覆中提到，現時《規劃》的編製工作已進入尾聲，在《規劃》頒布後，我們會在政策層面制訂工作計劃。
As I have mentioned in the main reply now the work on drawing up the Development Plan has reached the final stage . After the promulgation of the Development Plan we will devise the work plans at the policy level
