不過，正如很多議員所說，他們不會放過政府。
However as many Members have said they would not let the Government get off the hook
由於疑似偷工減料的事件涉及重大公眾利益和公眾安全，社會絕對不能含糊，不能輕易放過。
As this incident involves significant public interest and public safety it cannot be handled causally in a slipshod way
禮頓承包整個沙中線工程，訂立了地盤監督及質量監控計劃，旨在監控各項大小工程的質量、施工規格及圖則等。
Leighton which undertakes the whole SCL project has developed a Site Supervision Plan and a Quality Supervision Plan to monitor different aspects including quality specifications and drawings of all relevant works
在傾倒石屎前，禮頓要向港鐵公司提交一份"檢查及測量申請"。
Before the pouring of concrete Leighton is required to submit a Request for Inspection and Survey Checks to MTRCL
既已訂有這些程序，為何仍會出現偷工減料且沒有上報的情況？
With all these procedures in place how come there are still unreported corner - cutting situations?
一些不稱職、怠職、失職的人，亦應受到處分或被問責。
Anyone who is incompetent or has neglected or failed to perform his duties should be punished or be held accountable
我經常批評外判制度。
I often criticize the outsourcing system
地鐵以前由政府擁有，後來在2000年私有化，2007年兩鐵合併。
MTRCL used to be owned by the Government
外判工程是否等於外判責任？
Is the outsourcing of works tantamount to the outsourcing of responsibility?
我不相信前線員工會自行拿起重型器材剪短鋼筋。
I do not think frontline workers will of their own accord use heavy machinery to cut the steel bars
我相信沒有前線員工如此斗膽，背後一定有些系統性的問題，我們必須查明真相。
I do not believe frontline workers have the guts to do so . There must be some systemic problems that we have to find out
當然，禮頓有主要責任，港鐵公司有責任，政府其實也有責任。
Of course while Leighton should bear most of the responsibility and MTRCL should also be held responsible the Government actually also to take the blame
我相信這次事件不是個人問題，而是制度問題，涉事人在漏洞面前更有一種僥幸心態。
In my view this incident lies with the system rather than individuals . The systemic loopholes even tempted the parties in question to try their luck
香港工會聯合會在上月底事件披露之初，已經要求政府委任法官，以成立獨立調查委員會。
Soon after the incident came to light at the end of last month The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions urged the Government to appoint a judge so as to set up an independent commission of inquiry
根據香港法例第86章《調查委員會條例》，調查委員會的權力很大，可以強制傳召證人、要求呈交證據、發出逮捕令，以及就進入及視察任何處所發出搜查令等。
Under the Commissions of Inquiry Ordinance Cap . 86 a commission of inquiry shall have great powers . It may summon witnesses require the giving of evidence issue arrest warrants issue search warrants for the entry and inspection of any premises so on and so forth
此外，這項調查研訊屬於司法程序，調查委員會主席甚至擁有接近法官的重大權力。
Moreover such inquiry will be a judicial proceeding and the Chairman of the Commission of Inquiry shall have the powers similar to those of a judge
再者，這個調查委員會的主席由退休法官夏正民擔任。
In addition the Commission of Inquiry is chaired by Mr Michael John HARTMANN a former Judge
任何調查都必須盡量客觀、獨立及減少政治干預。
All inquiries including hearings should be objective independent and free from political intervention as far as possible
因此，我們一直強調司法獨立的重要性。
That is why we always emphasize the importance of judicial independence
實在有需要慎用。
It must be used carefully
在甚麼情況下使用？
In what circumstances should it be used?
立法會作為一個政治舞台，我並不認為政治化一定不對，因為某程度上，政治化在立法會是一個常態，亦無可避免。
The Legislative Council is a political stage . I am not saying that politicization is definitely because to a certain extent politicization is the norm of the Council and is unavoidable
不過，我感到有些同事在調查前已有頗強的預設立場和先入為主的看法。
However I find that some colleagues already have a rather strong predetermined position and preconceived views before the commencement of the inquiry
如果在調查前已有預設立場，又或先入為主覺得某些人必須問責下台......
If they have predetermined and presumed before the inquiry that certain persons must take responsibility and step down personally I think we should investigate first and then consider if someone should take responsibility and step down
我個人認為，應該先作調查，才考慮是否有人需要問責下台，而不應該在調查之前已有強烈的傾向及預設立場，因為預設立場對於調查的公信力及查明真相未必有好處。
We should not have a strong inclination or a predetermined position before the completion of the inquiry because having a predetermined position may undermine the credibility of the inquiry and the search for truth
既然政府現已成立獨立調查委員會，是否有必要架床疊屋？
Since the Government has already set up an independent Commission of Inquiry is it necessary to duplicate the work?
可否先等獨立調查委員會公布調查結果，視乎其結果的客觀及合理程度，才考慮應否引用《條例》進行調查？
Can we wait for the inquiry outcome to see whether it is objective and reasonable before considering the invocation of the Ordinance?
這個會否是更有智慧的做法？
Will this be a wiser choice?
我認為是次調查需要加強透明度及擴大調查範圍。
To me this inquiry should be more transparent and cover a wider scope
因此，雖然我支持政府成立調查委員會，但我也希望政府考慮擴大調查範圍，不單調查"紅磡站的短筋事件"，亦應調查土瓜灣站月台牆壁被削去兩層鋼筋的事件、會展站的問題，以及港鐵公司外判工程制度的問題。
Therefore although I support the Government in setting up a Commission of Inquiry I hope the Government will consider expanding the scope of inquiry so that the Commission of Inquiry will not only inquire into the cutting of steel bars at Hung Hom Station but also the removal of two layers of steel bars from the platform wall at To Kwa Wan Station the defects of Exhibition Centre Station and the outsourcing system of MTRCL
我們不希望見樹不見林，亦不希望着眼於令一兩個人"人頭落地"，而忽視整體的結構性問題。
We do not wish that we cannot see the wood for the trees; we also do not want the inquiry to focus on beheading one or two persons to the neglect of the overall systemic problems
最後，我再次強調，港鐵公司是香港其中一個金漆招牌，我們的鐵路安全及工程安全涉及重大的公眾利益及公眾安全，絕對不容許有半點含糊。
Lastly I wish to repeat one point . MTRCL is one of the renowned brands in Hong Kong . As railway safety and works safety involve significant public interest and public safety no ambiguity should be allowed
代理主席，沙田至中環線的連串事件，如果指控屬實，實在令人失望。
Deputy President regarding the series of incidents surrounding the Shatin to Central Link SCL it will be disappointing if the allegations are found to be true
被指控者不作回應，究竟是為了保護自己的法律權益，抑或別有內情，還是無言以對？
Is it trying to protect its legal rights? . Are there any inside stories? . Or does it have nothing to say?
為了大眾的利益，我希望政府進行調查，一定要將事情查個水落石出，令公眾能對工程回復一定信心，事件日後亦可供鑒戒。
For the sake of public interest I hope that the Government will conduct an inquiry to uncover the truth and restore public confidence in this works project . This incident may also become a lesson to be learned
今天，我一直坐在席上細心聆聽議員發言，發覺雖然政府的調查委員會尚未展開調查，但林卓廷議員已經未審先判，甚至指名道姓，要求某君下台。
Today I have been sitting in this Chamber listening attentively to Members speeches . Although the Commission of Inquiry appointed by the Government is yet to carry out the inquiry Mr LAM Cheuk - ting has already made a pre - emptive judgment and has gone so far as to specifically ask someone to step down
如果這個指控屬實，問題就大了。
If this allegation is true serious problems will arise because many judges in Hong Kong are appointed under this procedure
香港很多法官的委任也是採用這個程序，難道我們不相信香港的法律是公正的嗎？
Does it mean that we should query the fairness of the laws of Hong Kong?
所以，這些指控是不必要的，而且會影響香港市民對於司法公正的觀感。
This allegation is therefore unnecessary and will affect Hong Kong peoples perception of judicial fairness
對於紅磡站的問題，今天有議員提出立法會要引用《條例》進行調查，否則他們便認為立法會沒有尊嚴。
As regards the problems with Hung Hom Station today some Members propose that the Legislative Council should invoke the Ordinance for inquiry or else the Legislative Council will have no dignity
他們竟把法官帶領的獨立調查委員會說成黑箱，將立法會的調查說成是陽光下的調查，因為可以公開透明地調查。
How can they describe the inquiry conducted by the independent judge - led Commission of Inquiry as black - box operation and the inquiry conducted by the Legislative Council as an open and transparent inquiry conducted under the sun?
我認為，反對派為了引用《條例》，提出了一套謬論。
I think the opposition camp has put forward an absurd argument for the sake of invoking the Ordinance
絕不能在安全問題上妥協。
No compromise must be made in respect of safety
以上種種，才是香港社會今時今日最需要的。
All these are what Hong Kong society needs most today
因此，中肯中立的調查非常重要。
Therefore it is vital to have a neutral and fair inquiry
結果，政府確實引用了《調查委員會條例》將鉛水事件查個水落石出，時至今日，有關食水安全的大量建議已經一一實施。
The Government subsequently invoked the Commissions of Inquiry Ordinance to get to the bottom of the lead - in - water incident . Today the myriad of recommendations on drinking water safety have been implemented one after another
這就是由法官帶領獨立調查委員會的作用。
The function of an independent judge - led commission of inquiry has been well demonstrated in this case
我想告訴市民，在兩星期前，即6月10日的那個星期，鄭議員在政府尚未委任法官帶領獨立調查委員會和並未表示會成立獨立調查委員會時，向內務委員會提出引用《條例》。
Members of the public should note that two weeks ago ie . the week of 10 June Dr CHENG proposed to the House Committee the invocation of the Ordinance before the Governments announcement of setting up an independent commission and its appointment of an independent judge - led Commission of Inquiry
在同一個星期的星期二，行政長官宣布委任夏正民法官帶領獨立調查委員會，鄭議員的議案因而在6月15日的內務委員會會議上被否決。
On Tuesday of that week the Chief Executive announced the appointment of Mr Justice Michael John HARTMANN to lead the independent Commission of Inquiry . The motion of Dr CHENG was thus voted down at the meeting of the House Committee held on 15 June Friday
鄭議員今天再次向立法會大會提出議案，要求討論早前被否決的議題。
Today Dr CHENG moved the same motion to the Legislative Council urging for the discussion of a subject which was previously voted down
他會告訴市民，他提出引用《條例》調查紅磡站"短筋問題"，但建制派反對。
He may tell the public that his proposal to inquire into the cutting of steel bars at Hung Hom Station by invoking the Ordinance was opposed by the pro - establishment camp
可是，他沒有說後半的情況，即目前已有一個由夏正民法官帶領的獨立調查委員會進行調查。
Yet he will not tell the other half of the story ie . the independent Commission of Inquiry led by Mr Justice Michael John HARTMANN has already been set up to conduct an inquiry
我們希望調查能令事件水落石出，而不是為了達到他們的其他目的。
In our view the purpose of an inquiry is to uncover the truth rather than to achieve the other motives of the opposition Members
主席，我基本上及原則上支持立法會運用法定權力，對政府進行監察。
President I basically and in principle support the Legislative Council to invoke its statutory power to monitor the Government
因政府或相關機構做的事情出現了問題而進行調查，是立法會的權力及特權的一部分。
The Legislative Council has the power and privilege to inquire into the problems associated with the actions taken by the Government or relevant organizations
然而，立法會的權力必須謹慎運用，在甚麼情況下才運用呢？
However the Legislative Councils power must be exercised with caution . Under what circumstances this power should be exercised?
基本上是有列明的，但我覺得必須符合三大條件，立法會才可以行使這項法定權力。
Such circumstances have basically been specified but I think three conditions must be met before the Legislative Council can exercise its statutory power
第一，有關事情牽涉的是巨大的公眾利益，而對社會會產生深遠及嚴重的後果，這是必須符合的條件，並不是普通的一件事情就要調查。
First some matters involve huge public interest and will have far - reaching and serious consequences on our society . This is a condition that must be met and investigations should not be conducted on ordinary matters
政府有沒有在合理時間內採取一些糾正或補救措施等？
Has the Government taken corrective or remedial measures within a reasonable time?
這些條件我們要考慮，立法會要行使《立法會條例》賦予的權力的話，我會考慮以上3方面。
We have to take into account these three conditions when considering whether the Legislative Council should exercise the power conferred by the Legislative Council Ordinance
當然，沙中線的新聞現時鬧得沸沸揚揚，參與工程的人亦作了"吹口哨"及報案者，向香港鐵路有限公司投訴，但似乎"投訴接受，態度照舊"。
Certainly the news about the Shatin to Central Link SCL has given rise to much discussion and people who are involved in the project have become whistle - blowers or have reported to the Police . In the face of complaints the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL seems to have accepted such complaints but its attitude remains the same
這些新聞傳出後，當然令社會有很大困擾。
Such news reports have cause great anxiety in society
我會採取一種較謹慎的態度。
I will adopt a more cautious attitude
我剛才提出了3個理由，在表面上，沙中線一事一定與社會大眾有重大的利益關係，這項條件是符合的。
I have just given three reasons . On the fact of it the SCL incident is closely related to public interest so the first condition is met
在這樣的情況之下，就第三方面，政府有否及時採取相關調查及補救措施？我最低限度知道政府已經採取調查的方案，但是否沒有做其他補救措施？
Under such circumstances regarding the third point on whether the Government has conducted investigations and taken remedial measures in a timely manner at least I know that the Government has proposed to conduct an investigation . Has the Government not taken other remedial measures?
議員可以作出很大膽的批評，但正如主席也說議員在立法會的發言未必一定正確，言論自由引申出來的，可以是很多隨想。
Members can make bold criticisms but as pointed out by the President the remarks made by Members in the Legislative Council may not necessarily be correct . The freedom of speech may give rise to a free flow of ideas
審批標書後要審批圖則，施工時亦有監工，監工後會有測試，測試後要報告完工才會驗收，整個程序是很成熟的。
After a tender has been awarded the plans have to be approved the construction has to be supervised and tests have to be conducted . The works will only be accepted upon the production of the tests reports . The whole process is well - established
現時究竟是17支、21支、5,000支還是25,000支鋼筋被剪短呢？
How many steel bars had actually been cut short 17 21 5 000 or 25 000?
但現在的情況究竟是否已達至嚴重程度而沒有人採取補救措施和方案？
Is the current situation very serious and has no remedial measures been taken?
在這一刻，我未能夠支持鄭松泰議員提出的議案。
I cannot fully support Dr CHENG Chung - tais motion at this moment
在這一刻，立法會只是道聽塗說，而社會上亦眾說紛紜。
The Legislative Council only has some unofficial information and many different opinions are voiced in the community
倘若調查委員會在6個月的指定時間內完成報告，而報告的內容言之無物，又或者得過且過，有意放過某些須負責任的官員，在這個時候，我們看不過眼，立法會便可以進行獨立調查。
If the Commission of Inquiry completes a report within the specified period of six months but the report is devoid of substance or is perfunctorily written with the intent of letting some responsible officials get off the hook by then if the Legislative Council is dissatisfied it can conduct an independent investigation
所以，我認為鄭松泰議員的心意是好的，但從天時、地利、人 和3個元素考慮，我覺得不應在這一刻進行這項工作，否則便是越俎代庖，或是偷步，或者更可以說是浪費人力和物力，做了雙重的工作，事倍而可能只有功半。
Therefore while I think Dr CHENG Chung - tais motion has good intention but taking into account the three conditions of timing geographical and human conditions I think we should not undertake the work right now . Otherwise we will be taking others job into our hands or making a pre - emptive move . Or it can be said that we will be wasting manpower and resources and making twice the effort for half the effect
在這種情況下，我認為大家應該稍為忍耐，待6個月後報告完成後，我們細讀，然後查找不足。
Therefore I think we should be more patient . After the completion of the report six months later we can read in detail and look for deficiencies
政府會如何處理？
What should be done by the Government?
我特別再次強調，當局不要將問題掩飾，而一定要針對問題，查找不足之處，並給予解決辦法。
Let me stress once again the authorities should not cover up the problem they must target at the problem identify the deficiencies and provide solutions
但是，我希望並呼籲大家，不要將問題太政治化，我們需要將問題解決，亦不需要在議事廳內互相指控。
Yet I would like to urge Honourable colleagues not to politicize the problem . We have to solve the problem but we should not hurl criticisms at each other in the Chamber
我今天不支持鄭松泰議員的議案，但我欣賞他反應如此快，不過是稍為早了一些。
Although I do not support Dr CHENG Chung - tais motion today I appreciate that he has reacted quickly though he might be reacting a bit too soon
主席，我發言支持鄭松泰議員的議案，根據《立法會條例》成立專責委員會調查事件。
President I speak in support of Dr CHENG Chung - tais motion to set up a select committee to inquire into the incident under the Legislative Council Ordinance
我加入立法會多年，甚少就這些事項發言，因為我覺得這些是大是大非的事，但今次卻很奇怪。
Being a Member of the Legislative Council for many years I seldom speak on such matters as I think they are related to the fundamental question of right and wrong . Yet something odd has happened this time
局長不知道，因為他不是議員，不過我加入立法會10多年，清楚知道要維護立法機關的尊嚴。
The Secretary does not know because he is not a Member of the Legislative Council but as a Member for 10 - odd years I clearly know that we must uphold the dignity of the Legislative Council
我們提出此議案正是要告訴大眾，在《基本法》第七十三條第五項下，立法會的作用是監察政府運作。
We move this motion to tell the public that under Article 735 of the Basic Law the Legislative Council has the function of monitoring the work of the Government
正如莫議員剛才說，立法會是否用來配合政府？
As stated by Mr MOK a moment ago should the Legislative Council be established to tie in with the Government?
根據現時的制度，《基本法》賦予立法會權力，其中一個目的就是制衡政府，對政府的運作及做法提出質詢及意見，這是我們要做的，與政府本身怎樣做完全是兩回事。
Under the present system the Basic Law confers powers on the Legislative Council to achieve among others the purpose of exercising check and balance on the Government by asking questions and expressing views on the operation and actions of the Government . These are the tasks to be undertaken by Members . The actions taken by the Government is not a matter to be concerned by the Legislative Council
作為立法會議員，我不認同我們不應該調查政府將會調查的事情。
As a Member of the Legislative Council I disagree with the view that we should not inquire into a matter which the Government will investigate
當然，我在此階段得到的資料也是道聽塗說，我把報章報道及其他專家的意見拼湊一起。
Certainly the information I have obtained at this stage is hearsay only and I have only collated some press reports and the views of some experts
雖然我完全不懂得工程的事工程界的代表不在席我也知道可能會有很大問題。
Although I know nothing about engineering―the representative of the Engineering sector is not present now―I understand that serious problems may arise
問題不是誰人要問責下台如此簡單，此刻是否需要想出補救方法，令市民可以安心長遠使用公共設施？
The question is not simply who should be held accountable and step down but whether it is necessary to formulate remedial measures now so as to gain the publics confidence in using public facilities in the long term
這個專責委員會跟政府成立由法官領導的調查委員會不會相沖，我相信市民也不會認為我們浪費公帑或時間，因為這樣做，正正可讓市民安心。
The proposed select committee will not clash with the judge - led Commission of Inquiry set up by the Government . I believe the public will not think we are wasting public money or time because if we conduct an inquiry it will ease their minds
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持鄭松泰議員提出引用《立法會條例》成立專責委員會，調查整件事。
President I so submit and support Dr CHENG Chung - tais motion to set up a select committee under the Ordinance to inquire into the whole incident
及後，大家對墟市議題的討論焦點集中於如何配合旅遊業，打造有特色的露天市集，以及在偏遠地區為基層市民辦天光墟等。
Subsequently Members discussion on the subject focused on how bazaars could complement tourism; how to create special open - air bazaars and to hold morning bazaars for grass - roots people in remote areas etc
時至今天，行政長官林鄭月娥曾在其競選政綱中提出研究增設墟市，作為促進地區經濟發展的其中一個措施，更希望可以作為平台讓青年人在周末售賣自製手工藝品。
Today Chief Executive Carrie LAM stated in her election manifesto that studies would be conducted on establishing more bazaars as a measure to promote the development of district economy . She hoped that bazaars could become platforms where young people could sell their handicrafts at weekends
因此，墟市與本地區內經濟的發展變得息息相關。
Thus bazaars have become closely related to the economic development within the local districts
當然，這樣的演變，與領展壟斷、連鎖店及超市持續擴張、市場走向單一化有莫大的關係。
Certainly this development is also closely related to the monopolization of Link REIT and chain stores as well as the continual expansion of supermarkets and the uniformity of markets
無可否認，政府的官僚作風，只按本子辦事，確實令本港的商販政策未能因時制宜，及時回應社會的需要。
Undeniably the Governments bureaucratic approach of sticking only to the rules has really caused its policy on traders unable to respond to the demands of the times and society
因此，自由黨認同當局制訂切合社會需要的墟市政策。
Thus the Liberal Party supports the authorities in formulating a policy on bazaars which can meet the demands of society
不過，大家先要明白，墟市政策影響很多持份者，包括墟市選址附近的居民及商戶。
Nevertheless Members have to first understand that a policy on bazaars will affect many stakeholders including residents and business operators near the chosen sites of bazaars
因此，當局要小心處理，確保不同持份者的利益得到平衡。
Hence the authorities have to carefully ensure that the interests of different stakeholders are balanced
要確保墟市不擾民，就一定要做好衞生管理、人流管制、交通配套及消防安全等工作。
To ensure that bazaars will not create a nuisance to the public the authorities must do a good job in managing hygiene regulating visitor flows providing ancillary transportation services and taking fire precautions
但是，要達到這些範疇的標準，當局又不改變既有做法的話，恐怕只能選在人流稀疏的地點舉辦墟市或市集，這便會令墟市失去原有的意義。
However if the authorities do not change its established approach I am afraid that the required standards can only be met if bazaars or markets are held at sites with low visitor flows . In that case the original objectives of holding bazaars will not be achieved
因此，我經常說，當局應該積極研究及使用新科技，為臨時攤檔引入美觀、安全、衞生、環保及實用的元素，確保有效控制油煙及氣味等。
Thus as I often say the authorities should explore and apply new technologies to introduce the elements of aesthetics safety hygiene environment friendliness and pragmatism into the temporary stalls and ensure that cooking fumes and smells etc . are effectively controlled
只要不擾民，反對的聲音便會大減。
If bazaars do not create nuisances voices of opposition will be greatly reduced
這樣的話，莫說假日墟市，即使把現時長期空置的攤檔和"大牌檔"翻新及重新競投，相信也會得到區議會的支持。
In that case I believe District Councils will agree not only to holding bazaars at weekends but also to refurbishing and re - tendering for stalls and dai pai dongs which have been left vacant for a long time
與此同時，當局必須確保墟市不會與既有商戶構成惡性競爭。
Meanwhile the authorities must ensure that there will be no cut - throat competition between the bazaar traders and the existing business operators
首先，大家要知道，礙於入貨數量、運輸及貨倉等問題，墟市貨品的售價未必可以較連鎖店便宜。
First Members must understand that goods offered for sale at bazaars may not be cheaper than those at chain stores due to the quantity of goods ordered and the costs of transportation and storage . Thus to succeed in trading at bazaars traders should not compete by offering a lower price
因此，要成功經營墟市，不是"鬥平"，反而應該講求特色和商業組合規劃，即是為消費者提供更多元化的選擇。
Instead they should strive to include special features in their goods and create a good trade mix so as to provide consumers with more diversified choices
這樣便可以提高墟市的吸引力，達到協同效應，令墟市可以與既有商戶作良性競爭。
This will enhance the attractiveness of bazaars achieve synergy and promote healthy competition between bazaar traders and the existing business operators
要做到以上兩點，我們不可以單靠食物環境衞生署只從規管的角度處理商販的問題，而是需要引入良好的規劃和配套，以及借助民政事務總署統籌及協調的功能，配合有效的宣傳推廣。
To achieve these two objectives we cannot merely rely on the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department to handle the problems of traders from a regulatory perspective . We must also introduce good planning provide ancillary facilities utilize the coordinating function of the Home Affairs Department and make effective promotional efforts . There are the measures to tackle the problem at root
這才是治本的方法。主席，自由黨對於"一區多市"有所保留。
President the Liberal Party has reservations about the recommendation of multiple bazaars in a district
我們反對"為搞而搞"，硬性規定每區均要有不同的墟市，而忽略了墟市應環境需要集結而成的特性。
We oppose establishing bazaars for the sake of establishing and mandatorily requiring that different types of bazaars should be set up in every district . We should not forget the special feature of bazaars that is bazaars are established in response to the needs of the place
政府官員根本不懂做生意，他們找的地方，一般都不適合做墟市。
Government officials do not know how to do business at all . The sites identified by them are usually not suitable for holding bazaars
香港地小人多，一面倒力推墟市，可能帶來反效果。
Hong Kong is a small place crowded with people . If bazaars are strenuously promoted in a one - sided manner it may bring negative results
我們仍應好好利用土地，在適合的地點加建商業零售設施和街市，給中小企更多機會向上流發展。
We should make good use of our land to build retail facilities and markets at suitable sites to provide more opportunities for upward development of small and medium enterprises
因此，自由黨比較支持假日墟市，因為比較容易平衡各方面的利益，也配合市民喜歡在假日逛墟市的習慣。
Thus the Liberal Party is more supportive of holding holiday bazaars . Under this approach it will be easier to balance the interests of various parties as well as meet the peoples habit of visiting bazaars during the holidays
假日墟市亦可以為很多售賣自家製貨品的市民，或者初入行的販商帶來小試牛刀的機會，是最能達致多贏的模式。
Holiday bazaars can also provide chances for people to sell self - made products or for new traders to try out their business ideas on a small scale first . This model is most likely to achieve an all - win situation
至於是否在墟市容許明火烹調，自由黨認為，原則上攤檔必須符合牌照規定和消防安全。
Regarding whether the use of naked flame should be allowed at bazaars the Liberal Party considers that in principle stalls shall comply with the licence requirements and fire safety requirement
其實，現時熟食攤檔只要符合風險評估及有關牌照規定，便可使用可攜式卡式石油氣爐。
In fact at present if cooked food stalls pass the risk assessment and meet the requirements of their licences they can use portable cassette cooker
當然，自由黨認同當局應該盡量簡化墟市檔位的牌照申請程序。
Certainly the Liberal Party agrees that the authorities should streamline the application procedures for stall licence at bazaars
不過，這不等於可以完全放寬，把食物衞生及消防安全置之不理。
However that does not mean that the authorities can totally relax the requirements and ignore food hygiene and fire safety
我十分關心墟市政策，所以在加入立法會後，在小組委員會完成工作後，我也曾閱覽整份報告，對於小組委員會的很多建議我也是支持的。
As I am very concerned about policies on bazaars I have read the whole report after I became a Member of the Legislative Council and upon completion of the work of the Subcommittee . I support many of the recommendations of the Subcommittee
