如果一直也不推出共識方案，那麼長者生活津貼便會繼續沿用這個方法，那你便是食言了。
If no consensus proposal is ever floated the approach adopted in relation to OALA will continue to be followed . In that case you will have gone back on your words
我們是機動的、靈活的，目的就是希望以長者為先，以長者的利益為依歸。
We are adaptable and flexible and the aim is to put the elderly first and our foremost consideration is the interests of the elderly
我們一定會謹記這點來做的。
We will surely do our work bearing in mind this point
主席，我問局長現屆政府會否檢討長者生活津貼的資產限制。
President I am asking the Secretary if the current - term Government will review the asset limit for OALA
主席，我跟大家說，我們在整體規劃未來退休保障的過程中，會同時研究這一點，一定會看。
President I can tell Members that in the process of carrying out comprehensive planning on future retirement protection this point will be examined at the same time
主席，我非常認同局長所說，在政府規劃未來退休保障時，是會作全盤考慮的。
President I agree very much with the Secretarys comment that when the Government plans for future retirement protection comprehensive consideration should be given
但是，在政府的文件及在各類型的諮詢會上也可以看到，今次所說的全民退保，其目的與我們一直實行的強積金的目的有重疊的地方。
However it can be seen from government papers and various types of public forums that in terms of the objective the universal retirement protection being discussed this time around actually overlaps in many areas with MPF which has all along been in place
此外，在操作上，很多"打工仔"亦須面對可能須繳付兩項供款的情況。
In addition in terms of operation many wage earners will also have to face the prospect of making two sums of contributions
請問局長在這樣的原則和方向下，在一個全盤考慮的情況下，政府有沒有取消強積金的計劃？
Given such a principle and direction and the comprehensive consideration given to this matter may I ask the Secretary whether or not the Government has any plan to abolish the MPF Scheme?
我們有4根支柱，第一根支柱是社會保障。
We have four pillars the first one being social security . In fact there is actually no need to make contributions in this regard and only government resources are used
其實這是無需供款的，全部使用政府資源，例如長者生活津貼、"生果金"、綜合社會保障援助等，這些大家已經很熟悉；第二根支柱便是強積金，即是說與就業掛鈎，由私人管理的，但大家也知道政府在早期曾經注資；第三根支柱便是個人儲蓄；第四根支柱便是其他非現金項目，例如醫療、乘車優惠，甚至其他個人資產等，4根支柱互補不足，其實是互相扶持的，所以，強積金有其保留的價值和必要。
The second pillar is MPF which is placement - tied and privately managed but Members also know that the Government made fund injections at an early stage . The third pillar is personal savings . The fourth pillar is the other in - kind benefits for example health care transport concessions and even other personal assets
鄭松泰議員，請坐下。
Dr CHENG Chung - tai please sit down
主席，局長在主體答覆中說，"政府的目標是在本屆政府任期完結前，為退休保障訂出清晰的未來政策方向。
President the Secretary said in the main reply The Government aims to set a clear future policy direction on retirement protection within this term of the Government
"我想這個所謂政策方向便是：究竟這項退休保障會是全民的，還是採用經濟和資產審查的方式？
I think this so - called policy direction is Will this retirement protection be universal or will it a means - tested approach be adopted?
此外，政府在主體答覆亦表示，對於這兩個方向，市民的意見紛紜，即是說，這是一個政治決定：究竟全民的還是設有經濟審查的。
In addition in the main reply the Government also says that the publics views on these two directions are diverse so this means the decision will be a political one Will it be universal in nature or will it means - tested?
我想問局長憑甚麼在他任期完結前，為下一屆政府作出這麼重要的政治決定？
May I ask based on what he can make such an important political decision for the next - term Government before the end of his term?
大家也知道，在討論期間提出的意見很激烈，意見紛紜，出現很多矛盾，但我認為我們應面對現實，迎難而上，希望能夠透過今次的辯證，在社會上清楚地討論這一件事，如果在公布方向後，大家也接受，我們便會有出路。
As we all know the views expressed during the discussion period were quite strong and diverse so there were many conflicting views but I think we should face the reality and rise to the challenges . It is hoped that through the debate this time around this matter can be discussed thoroughly in society . If all parties accept the direction after it has been announced we will have a way out
所以，請大家給予我們空間和時間，我們希望能在矛盾中找到一條大家均認為可行的道路。
For this reason I ask Members to give us some scope and some time . We hope that a way considered by all parties to be feasible can be identified among all the conflicting views
我們最主要的目的是希望長者可以受惠。
Our chief objective is to benefit the elderly
在過去4年，我不斷跟進，但可惜當局仍然置若罔聞，而領展這隻大怪獸卻變本加厲，對市民和小商戶步步進迫。
Over the past four years I have been following this matter up . Unfortunately the authorities have turned a blind eye to this matter and the conduct of this monster called Link REIT has gone from bad to worse and the public and small shop operators are subjected to increasing oppression
領展自2005年上市後，一直也進行其口中的"資產提升"。
Since the listing of Link REIT in 2005 it has been carrying out what it calls asset enhancement
工程美其名是營造良好的零售環境，但實質客觀的效果便是趕絕小商戶，要市民承受價錢昂貴的貨品。
The excuse for carrying out this kind of projects is to create a decent retail environment but the actual and objective outcome is that small shop operators have been driven to a dead end and the public have to bear the high prices of goods
根據領展的年報，它旗下零售物業在2006年的平均每月租金是每平方呎23元。
According to the annual reports of Link REIT in 2006 the average monthly rent of the retail properties under its management was 23 per square foot
可是，到了2016年已經倍增，達每平方呎50元。
By 2016 it has doubled to as much as 50 per square foot
小商戶除飽受租金狂升外，更隨時甚至無法經營，被迫結業。
Apart from enduring runaway rents small shop operators may even find it impossible to continue with their business operation and may be forced out of business at any time
正如我們自數月前便已開始跟進的天水圍頌富商場個案，領展自4月開始進行翻新工程以來，問題多多，影響居民，出入口、冷氣和燈光均完全不足，空氣又污濁。
For example several months ago we began to follow up the case of Chung Fu Plaza in Tin Shui Wai . Since Link REIT started the renovation works in April many problems have arisen and residents are affected . The number of entrances the air conditioning and the lighting are all inadequate and the air is murky
商場和街市的多個主要出入口被封閉，影響生意，亦影響市民的生活。
A number of main entrances at the plaza and the market were closed so business and the daily lives of the public were affected
我們約領展開會，它卻告訴我們在完成這些工程後便對居民會有幫助，不過卻未見其利，先見其害。
When we held a meeting with Link REIT it told us that after the completion of the works residents would stand to be benefited but we can see many disadvantages before the advantages can be seen
領展近年不斷翻新旗下的商場和外判街市管理，然後便以巨額拆售圖利，他們眼中只有金錢，完全是金錢，完全漠視小商戶和市民的利益。
In recent years Link REIT continually renovated the shopping malls under its management and outsourced the management of its markets . Then it would divest them in return for large sums of money and make profits . All that it cares about is money and nothing but money so the interests of small shop operators and the public are totally disregarded
為何領展可以如此橫行無忌呢？
Why can Link REIT act with such impunity?
其實從容海恩議員的發言中我已經留意到，她問當日為何政府在與領匯簽定這些契約時，可以容許領匯拆售停車場和再出售商場？
In fact when Ms YUNG Hoi - yan was delivering her speech I noticed that she asked why the Government would allow The Link to divest its car parks and re - divest its shopping malls when it entered into those leases with The Link back then
根據那些條款，要拆售停車場，房委會必須擁有不多......即只要它不擁有該屋苑或屋邨的其中一個單位，停車場便可以拆售。
According to those conditions if the car parks are to be divested HKHA must be in possession of not more thanthat is if it does not own any of the units in a housing estate the car parks can be divested
為何停車場如此容易便可以拆售，造就現時我們看到領展經常出售其資產，而在出售後，新的發展商在入場後便把停車場分拆、分拆、分拆，然後出售的情況？
Why can the car parks be divested so easily thus leading to the situation we now see that is Link REIT sells its assets frequently and after the car parks have been sold the new developers would parcel them out again and again after taking over and then sell them?
我覺得所有關注這件事的有心人也得看看當日是由誰訂定這些契約？
I think all parties who are concerned about this matter have to look at who drew up those leases back then
領展能夠肆無忌憚地加租，更改租約條款，便是因為它有壟斷的優勢。
That Link REIT can raise rents and change the terms of the leases with impunity can be attributed to its monopolistic position
它並非為公屋居民提供服務，而是只為其股東謀求利益。
It is not providing services to residents in public housing estates rather it is only working for the interests of its shareholders
本來這是無可厚非的，但它卻犧牲了居住於公共屋邨的基層市民的最基本生活需要。
This is actually no cause for complaint but the basic needs of the grass roots in public housing estates are sacrificed
我記得我們的常任秘書長來立法會討論過很多次，但仍是一籌莫展，說這是商業機構的運作，領展甚至無須到立法會來見我們和向我們解釋。
I remember that our Permanent Secretary once came to the Legislative Council to have discussions with us on many occasions but the Government remained unable to do anything saying that Link REIT operates on commercial principles . Link REIT does not even have to come to the Legislative Council to meet with us and give explanations
我知道局方已承諾會在新發展區，例如東涌或洪水橋預留土地興建公眾街市。
I know that the Policy Bureau concerned has undertaken to reserve land for the construction of public markets in new development areas for example Tung Chung and Hung Shui Kiu
我們多謝局方接納工聯會這項建議。
We thank the Policy Bureau concerned for taking on board this proposal put forward by the Federation of Trade Unions
但是，我們更希望的是在現有社區，例如天水圍、將軍澳等，政府也繼續覓地。
However we hope all the more that the Government will also continue to identify sites for this purpose in existing communities for example Tin Shui Wai and Tseung Kwan O
我們知道覓地並不容易，但希望局長不要放棄任何一個機會。
We know that the identification of sites is not easy but hope that the Secretary will not let any opportunity pass by
更重要的是，剛才有一些同事也提及在規劃標準與準則內有關街市與人口比例的標準。
More importantly just now some Honourable colleagues also mentioned the standards related to the ratio of markets to population in the planning standards and guidelines
現時，在2009年修訂這項標準後，便變成須考慮一籃子因素，才可以決定是否興建街市，但最終卻是一個也沒有興建。
At present after the revision of these standards in 2009 a host of factors has to be considered before a decision can be made on whether or not to build markets but in the end not a single market has been built
事實上，如果我們談論規劃標準與準則，這並非發展局的範疇。
In fact insofar as the planning standards and guidelines are concerned they are not within the ambit of the Development Bureau
因為發展局或規劃署在制訂規劃標準與準則時，也必須諮詢有關的負責部門。
This is because when the Development Bureau or the Planning Department formulates planning standards and guidelines it has to consult the relevant government departments
因此，高醫生，你們的政策局必須要求發展局和規劃署盡快更改規劃標準與準則。
For this reason Dr KO your Policy Bureau must ask the Development Bureau or the Planning Department to revise the planning standards and guidelines as soon as possible
此外，其實剛才陳沛然醫生他不在席提及屋邨醫生的問題，這其實是非常重要的，不單影響醫生，也影響公屋居民。
In addition just now Dr Pierre CHAN―he is not in the Chamber now―also mentioned the problems related to private doctors in housing estates and this is actually very important . Not only doctors are affected but residents in public housing estates are also affected
為甚麼天水圍區私家醫生與人口的比例是如此低呢？
Why is the ratio of private doctors to the population so low in Tin Shui Wai?
便是因為在天水圍區內，領展的商場令私家醫生負擔不起租金，私家醫生不能入場，最終 是市民根本不能依賴私營醫療，必須到公營醫療機構求診，結果公營醫療機構又"迫爆"。
Because in Tin Shui Wai private doctors cannot afford the rent in the shopping malls managed by Link REIT so they cannot enter the market there and in the end it is virtually impossible for the public to rely on the private sector rather they have to seek treatment in public sector health care institutions . As a result public sector health care institutions are jam - packed with people . In view of this we hope that the Government can summon up its determination and boldness in respect of this issue
所以，就這個問題，我希望政府能夠拿出決心和魄力，希望張局長快一點告訴我們，房屋署可在公共屋邨內增加甚麼設施，以幫助基層......
I hope Secretary Prof Anthony CHEUNG can tell us at an early date what additional facilities the Housing Department can introduce into public housing estates to help the grass roots solve the problems in their daily lives
主席，現時，有不少非技術員工受聘於外判服務承辦商，為政府部門提供清潔及保安等非技術服務。
President at present quite a number of non - skilled workers are employed by outsourced service contractors to provide services such as cleaning and security to government departments
據悉，他們所獲薪酬福利的水平遠低於職責相若的公務員及其他私營企業僱員的水平。
It is learnt that the remuneration packages for them are far inferior to those of civil servants and employees of other private enterprises with comparable duties
部分外判商甚至於外判服務合約完結時，以各種方法逃避向外判員工支付遣散費及長期服務金的責任。
Some outsourced contractors have even evaded by various means kind of crafty tactics their obligation to pay outsourced workers severance payment SP and long service payment LSP upon expiry of outsourced service contracts
主席，局方的回應也是意料之內，但我仍想跟進數點。
President the reply provided by the Bureau is as expected yet I would like to follow up on a few points
政府會否考慮將部分外判員工轉為長期聘用或直接聘用的僱員？
Will the Government consider converting the employment of some of the outsourced workers to permanent terms or recruiting them directly?
第二，高等法院在2013年一宗涉及一間清潔公司的案件的判詞中指出，如工友簽下標準僱傭合約，當外判商未能在原來的地方中標時，他們應向工友支付遣散費。
Second in the judgment of a case involving a cleaning company in 2013 the High Court pointed out that for workers who have signed a SEC the outsourced contractor should pay SP to these workers when it lost its bid for the tender for providing services at the original venue of work
可是，我想告訴局長，現實是很多外判商在合約結束後，便會使出各種"蠱惑"招數，例如鼓勵員工自願離職，又或威嚇員工，指如他們不自願離職，接手的公司即不會繼續聘用他們......
However I would like to tell the Secretary that in reality upon the completion of their contract many outsourced contractors will adopt all kinds of crafty tactics such as encouraging workers to resign voluntarily or threatening workers that the succeeding company will not offer continual employment if they refuse to resign voluntarily
主席，工會一直反對這種外判安排。
President FTU has all along opposed this kind of outsourcing arrangement
我發現食環署的欠薪個案有32宗；遣散費及長期服務金有8宗，當然房屋署的個案也有33宗。
I note that there were 32 cases on non - payment of wages and eight cases on SP and LSP for the FEHD and of course HD also has 33 cases
主席，我曾在人力事務委員會要求有關當局檢討政府外判清潔服務的招標機制和扣分制度。
President I had urged the authorities to review the tendering mechanism for outsourcing cleaning services of the Government and the demerit point system at the Panel on Manpower
我的補充質詢是：政府會否考慮全面檢討有關機制，又或調整評分制度中價錢和素質的比例，由現時的7:3調整至5:5？
Alright my supplementary question is Will the Government consider conducting a comprehensive review of the relevant mechanism or adjust the price and quality proportion under the marking scheme from 7col3 to 5col5?
代理主席，高永文局長剛才已講述了政府對設立公眾街市和墟市，以及相關營運模式的政策和處理方式。
Deputy President Secretary Dr KO Wing - man has just talked about the Governments policy and approach to public markets and bazaars as well as their mode of operation
在此議案辯論的開場發言中，我想集中討論有關領展房地產投資信託基金運作的問題。
In this opening remarks of the motion debate I would like to focus on the operation of Link Real Estate Investment Trust Link REIT which is a matter of concern to many Members
同時，希望藉私營機構以商業原則經營，提升營運效率。
Meanwhile it was hoped that the operating efficiency could be enhanced through a private organization operating on commercial principles
領展於2005年上市後，已是一間私營機構，政府及房委會並沒有持有領展的任何基金單位。
Link REIT has been a private organization since its listing in 2005 . The Government and HA do not hold any fund unit of Link REIT
領展的經營方式和日常運作，亦完全獨立於政府及房委會。
Its business model and daily operation are also totally independent of the Government and HA
領展作為私人企業，與一般私人業主一樣，受到相關法例，例如《城市規劃條例》和《建築物條例》等，以及地契條文所規範。
As a private company same as any other private owner Link REIT is subject to relevant ordinances such as Town Planning Ordinance and Buildings Ordinance and the lease conditions
地契條文一般有列明有關地段的土地用途。
Land use of the relevant lots is generally stipulated in the lease conditions
業主必須先得到地段內其他業權人的同意，以及地政總署的批准，才可以改變有關土地用途。
Any change of land use must be agreed by other owners of the lots and approved by the Lands Department
剛才有議員希望能夠知道限制性契諾的內容，其實這些限制性契諾已清楚載於個別的商業及停車場設施的買賣契約，公眾可以在土地註冊處查閱有關的買賣契約，資料是清晰和公開的。
Just now Members wished to know the contents of the Restrictive Covenants . In fact they are clearly set out in the Assignment Deeds of individual commercial and car parking facilities . The Assignment Deeds are accessible to the public at the Land Registry
過去，政府亦在不同場合，例如就立法會的委員會討論事項或議員的質詢等，清楚解釋限制性契諾的作用。
The information is clear and publicly available . The Government has clearly explained the function of Restrictive Covenants on various occasions in the past for instance during committee discussions of the Legislative Council or Members questioning sessions
在維護法治社會及尊重產權的大前提下，只要是符合法例規定、政府地契條文和其他限制，政府便不能干預任何業權人合法使用其物業的權利。
On the premise of upholding the rule of law and respecting property rights the Government cannot intervene in the owners right of lawful use of its property as long as it complies with the statutory requirements Government Lease conditions and other restrictions
同樣，只要領展不違反與房委會訂立的上述契諾，房委會不會干預領展的日常運作和商業決定，包括租金釐定、行業組合及經營策略等。
Likewise as long as Link REIT does not violate the aforementioned Deeds with HA HA will not intervene in its daily operation and business decisions including its rent determination trade mix and business strategy
反過來說，如果領展及其後繼的業權人違反任何法規、地契條文或與房委會訂立的契諾，則相關政府部門及房委會必定我強調是必定追究及採取相應行動。
On the contrary if Link REIT and the subsequent owners violate any regulations lease conditions or the Covenants with HA relevant government departments and HA are bound to―I stress they are bound to―pursue responsibility and take action
過去，政府在不同場合均已公開指出上述規定適用於所有相關業主，並不限於領展，亦曾提醒領展應在買賣過程中向買家清楚說明這些限制。
The Government has publicly stated on different occasions in that past that the aforementioned requirements are applicable not only to Link REIT but to all owners . It has also reminded Link REIT to clearly explain these restrictions to buyers during the transaction process
剛才尹兆堅議員在談及他的修正案時提到，拆售房委會的商業設施會否令房委會無法滿足《房屋條例》的要求，為轄下屋邨居民提供所需服務。
When speaking on his amendment just now Mr Andrew WAN mentioned whether HAs divestment of commercial facilities will lead to its inability to meet the requirements of the Housing Ordinance on providing necessary services to residents of its housing estates
這一點其實在上屆立法會曾經多番討論。
In fact this issue has undergone extensive discussion in the last term
《房屋條例》第4條的確賦予房委會廣泛的職能，房委會需要經常審視應如何履行其職務，平衡資源限制、成本效益、社會期望等各方面的考慮，按緩急輕重執行其職務。
Indeed section 4 of the Housing Ordinance vested HA with a wide range of functions . HA needs to constantly review how it should perform its duties strike a balance among various considerations as resource constraints cost - effectiveness and social expectations and work through prioritization
事實上，終審法院在2005年7月已經裁定，房委會分拆出售零售和停車場設施的計劃符合《房屋條例》第41條所訂明的房委會的宗旨。
In fact the Court of Final Appeal CFA ruled in July 2005 that HAs plan to divest its retail and car parking facilities was in line with the objectives of HA stipulated in section 41 of the Housing Ordinance
就領展與政府及香港房屋委員會的關係，以及目前它受到地契條文和與房委會制訂的契諾的限制，我在開場發言時已作詳細說明。
In my opening speech I already elaborated the relationship between Link REIT and the Government as well as the Hong Kong Housing Authority HA and the restrictions currently imposed on Link REIT by the land lease conditions and covenants signed with HA
我亦解釋了為何今天政府購回領展基金單位，以及它旗下的商業或停車場設施，皆不符合公帑運用得宜的原則。
I have also explained why it is not in compliance with the principle of prudent use of public funds should the Government buy back Link REIT fund units and its commercial or car parking facilities today
無論當年拆售的決定是對或是錯，在今天來說，回購是不可行和不可取的。
Irrespective of whether the divestment decision previously made was right or wrong it is both infeasible and undesirable to buy back Link REIT now
我在開場發言時亦說明了，房委會與領展所訂立的限制性契諾對領展及其業權繼承人的約束，這包括繼續以優惠的租金出租予指定單位所提名的非牟利機構作社會服務或教育的用途，是不可以再另收管理費或其他費用。
I also made it clear in my opening speech the constraints imposed by the restrictive covenants signed between HA and Link REIT on Link REIT and its successor in title including letting out relevant units to non - profit - making organizations nominated by specified units at concessionary rent for social welfare or educational purposes . Moreover management fees or other charges must not be collected
我在開場發言時亦指出，如果領展或其後繼的業權人違反任何法規、地契條文或與房委會訂立的契諾，相關政府部門及房委會必定會追究及採取相應行動，包括法律行動。
I also pointed out in my opening speech that should Link REIT or its successor in title breach any statutory provisions land lease conditions or covenants signed with HA the relevant government departments and HA will definitely pursue the matter and take action including legal action accordingly
在辯論中，有議員對房委會轄下商業設施的運作提出批評。
In the debate some Members criticized the operation of the commercial facilities under HA
事實上，公營房屋的居民和一般市民大眾一樣，在日常生活上，需要使用多種公共設施和相關服務，包括教育、醫療、社會服務、文娛康樂及商業設施。
In fact like the general public public housing residents require a variety of public facilities and relevant services including education health care social services cultural and recreational facilities and commercial facilities in their daily life
對這些設施和服務的需求，各地區之間會有差異，而且會隨着時間而改變。
Nevertheless the demands for these facilities and services vary from district to district and change with the times
政府各專責部門會考慮實際的情況，作出相應的規劃。
Various dedicated government departments will consider the actual circumstances and make planning accordingly
至於增設公眾街市的建議，稍後會由高局長有所回應。
As regards the proposal for providing additional public markets Secretary Dr KO will give a response later on
主席，房委會並沒有於2005年把其轄下所有的零售和停車場設施拆售給領匯，其後亦沒有再拆售相關的設施。
President HA did not divest all of its retail and car parking facilities in 2005 to The Link REIT . Neither did it divest the relevant facilities again subsequently
目前，房委會仍然管理轄下47個屋邨內的主要商業及零售設施，當中有些設施位於領展轄下的商業設施附近。
Currently HA is still managing the major commercial and retail facilities in its 47 housing estates and some of these facilities are situated in the vicinity of the commercial facilities under Link REIT
房委會會因應實際情況，在現有商場合適的位置加設商鋪，增加零售服務。
HA will having regard to the actual circumstances provide additional shops at suitable locations in the existing shopping arcades for the provision of additional retail services
此外，房委會仍然會繼續在新落成的公共屋邨內設置商業設施。
In addition HA will continue to provide commercial facilities in newly completed public housing estates
自從領展上市後，落成啟用的房委會商場共有14個，分別位於觀塘、牛頭角、啟德發展區、元朗、北區和沙田。
Since the listing of Link REIT HA has seen the commissioning of a total of 14 shopping arcades in Kwun Tong Ngau Tau Kok the Kai Tak Development Area Yuen Long the North District and Sha Tin separately
連同房委會位於油塘毗鄰領展商場的大型地區商場"大本型"，現時由房委會提供的商業及零售設施總面積達到22萬平方米。在規劃新的公營房屋項目時，房委會會盡量興建最多的住宅單位，為更多居民提供可負擔居所，以達致地盡其用。
Coupled with a large shopping arcade in the district Domain which is situated adjacent to a shopping arcade under Link REIT and managed by HA the total area of commercial and retail facilities currently provided by HA has reached 220 000 sq m In planning new public housing projects HA will strive to build the largest number of residential units to provide affordable homes for more residents so as to maximize land utilization
但是，房委會亦會因應情況，在公共屋邨和屋苑提供社會服務和商業設施，為居民提供日常生活所需。
However HA will also in the light of circumstances provide social services and commercial facilities in public housing estates and courts to provide daily necessities for the residents
有議員反對房委會以整體承租方式出租轄下街市，希望可避免營運者使用價高者得的方法投得營運權。
Some Members disapprove of a single - operator letting arrangement for the markets under HA in the hope of preventing single operators from obtaining the operating rights of markets by offering the highest bids
我要指出，房委會於其新落成的街市均採取競投的方式，用整體承租的方法出租，即把一份租約批予一個承租商，由它再分租予個別檔戶，並且負責整個街市的管理，這是自1988年以來行之有效的模式。
I must point out that bidding will be adopted by HA in its newly completed markets under a single - operator letting arrangement . In other words a single tenancy is awarded to an operator who will let parts of the leased area to individual stall operators and the operator will be responsible for the management of the whole market . This model has been proven since 1988
其好處是借助私營機構的專業營運能力和經驗，為居民提供更佳的購物選擇和服務環境。
Such practice allows HA to leverage on the expertise and experience of the private sector with a view to providing better shopping choices services and environment for residents
不過，房委會在評審街市承租商的建議時，會根據其過去經營街市的表現及所競出的租金，以混合計分的方法評分批出租賃合約，並非純粹價高者得。
In evaluating the proposals put forward by the operators however HA will having regard to their past performance in market operation and tendered rents use a mixed scoring system for such evaluation and award of tenancy agreements rather than granting the agreements to bidders offering the highest bids
主席，房委會亦會對整體承租商作出監管，包括規範行業類別、提高對檔戶的保障及採納全面的表現評估，以適當地平衡商業營運應有的彈性及居民的購物需要。
President HA will also monitor the single operators by regulating the trade types enhancing protection for stall operators and adopting a more comprehensive performance appraisal system with a view to suitably striking a balance between the required flexibility in business operation and the shopping needs of residents
