你如此刪減議員的發言時間和機會，屬違反《議事規則》之舉。
Your ruling has reduced the time and opportunity of Members to speak and thus contravened RoP
主席，我剛才聽了部分在座建制派同事的發言，聽到相當多類似的觀點，便是談論高鐵的經濟效益。
President I listened to some pro - establishment Members speeches just now . I find many similar viewpoints . Many of them talked about the economic returns of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL
正如我昨天發言時所說，我不會與大家爭辯這一點，因為大家的估算可能不一樣，基於假設不同，最終得出的結論也可以截然不同。
As I said yesterday I will not contest this point with Members because we may have based our views on different assumptions and different assumptions will lead to different conclusions
不過，我聽到部分建制派議員說，民主派反對高鐵、反對"一地兩檢"，其實跟過往的做事方式一樣，便是想破壞香港經濟，損害香港的長期繁榮穩定。主席，我認為使用這些言詞批評我們極不恰當，而且不公允。
However President I find some pro - establishment Members remarks against us highly inappropriate and unfair . They say that the democrats oppose the XRL and the co - location arrangement in just the way as they opposed everything in the past; and that they just want to ruin the economy of Hong Kong and undermine the long - term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong
我的家族由祖父母輩到我的子女，全部生於香港、長於香港。
My family members from my grandparents to my children are all born and brought up in Hong Kong
我全家沒有一個人持有外國護照，或擁有外國居留權，我也沒有外國資產，我全家人也在香港生活。
My family members do not hold any foreign passport or foreign right of abode . I do not hold any assets in other countries . My whole family is living in Hong Kong
他們想指控任何一位民主派議員破壞香港經濟、損害香港的長期繁榮穩定，請他們指出動機，不要很簡單地說，我們存有政治動機和政治利益，所以要破壞香港的長期繁榮穩定。
If they want to accuse any democrats of ruining Hong Kongs economy or undermining Hong Kongs long - term prosperity and stability would they please state our intention . Do not simply say that we have a political agenda or political interest and thus we want to undermine the long - term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong
如果他們認為我們是英美的"走狗"、英美政府在香港的內奸，便 請他們提出證據。
If they think that we are the lackeys of the United Kingdom and the United States or their covert spies in Hong Kong would they please provide evidence
如果沒有證據，是完全沒有意思的，只會貶低他們的身份和公信力。
If they do not have any evidence what they say is meaningless and will only serve to degrade their personality and undermine their integrity
我奉勸大家，要辯論便辯論政策，不要進行這些沒有必要的人身攻擊，猜度別人的立場和動機。
Let me give them some advice . If they want to debate they had better restrict their debate on the policy . They should not make these unnecessary personal attacks or speculate on other peoples stance or intention
主席，我昨天已就經濟發展與法治的關係，作了清楚的解說，我今天多補充一點。
President yesterday I already explained in detail the relationship between economic development and the rule of law and I wish to add one more point today
我明白中國大陸近年經濟騰飛，舉世矚目，這是沒有爭議的，我們也看到內地一些城市的優勢不斷上升，無論是基建或人才。
I know that the economy take - off of China in recent years has caught world - wide attention . This is indisputable . We also notice that some Mainland cities have been gaining an edge on infrastructures and manpower
香港面對內地城市的競爭越來越激烈，這是無可否認的事實，但為何長時間以來，仍然有很多國際企業來港設置亞太區總部，而不是到上海或深圳呢？
In face of the undeniably increasing competition from Mainland cities why does Hong Kong rather than Shanghai or Shenzhen all along remain the chosen city for many international enterprises to locate their Asia - Pacific headquarters?
其中一個最重要的理由，便是香港有一個相對完善的法治制度。
One of the important reasons is that Hong Kong has a relatively sound rule of law system
香港的優勢，便是我們的法治傳統，我們的法治是不容動搖的。
The edge of Hong Kong is our long - standing rule of law . Our rule of law is not to be shaken
《基本法》清楚訂明，全國性法律不會在香港實施，除了國防和外交，以及不屬香港自治範圍的法律。
The Basic Law clearly provides that national laws shall not be applied in Hong Kong except for those relating to defence and foreign affairs and those outside the limits of the autonomy of Hong Kong
很明顯，今次在西九站設置內地管轄區，實施內地清關、檢疫法例等，全部也是內地法律。
Obviously the Mainland control area to be set up in West Kowloon Station for the Mainland side to conduct customs and quarantine procedures will use only Mainland laws
香港實行普通法制度，《基本法》條文的演繹是最清楚不過的。
As clearly stipulated in the Basic Law provisions Hong Kong practices the common law regime
這是赤裸裸地損害香港的法治。
This is an naked damage to the rule of law of Hong Kong
袁國強司長身為大律師，無論他如何嘗試運用其專業身份和知識來解讀條文，所有這些解讀也說不過常理。
As a barrister himself Secretary for Justice Rimsky YUEN has interpreted the provision using his professional capacity and knowledge . But his interpretation cannot get the better of common sense
硬要這樣解讀《基本法》，是一而再、再而三地開創很壞、很壞的先例，也是在損害香港的"一國兩制"。
His insisted interpretation of the Basic Law has repeatedly set a very bad precedence and is undermining the one country two systems principle of Hong Kong
主席，剛才不同議員就不同民意調查有各自的解讀，其實不同民意調查得出不同的結果，是最正常不過的，因為大家的抽樣方式不 同、調查方法不同，自然會得出絕對不同的結果。
President just now different Members have their own interpretation of the opinion polls . It is actually very normal that different opinion polls will lead to different results because their different sampling and surveying methods will naturally arrive at absolutely different results . Mr Christopher CHEUNG says that a survey he conducted with his constituents shows that 90 % of the interviewees are very satisfied or satisfied with the arrangement
張華峰議員說，他向業界進行調查，九成受訪者表示非常滿意或滿意，我絕對不會質疑張華峰議員的調查結果，因為他是向其業界進行調查，集中了數百或一兩千名從業員進行調查，所以我不質疑張華峰議員的調查結果，但這只是代表一兩千名從業員或某個行業，甚或某種利益團體的調查結果。
I surely will not question Mr Christopher CHEUNGs survey result because it is the result on the few hundred or thousand people in his industry . I thus will not question Mr Christopher CHEUNGs survey result . But it only represents the survey result on a few thousand industry players a certain industry or even a certain interest group
我們民主黨也有自己的調查方法，你們亦可以質疑，並無問題。
We the Democratic Party have our own way of conducting surveys . They can also question our results . It does not matter
我想說的是，既然政府如此有信心，指這個方案獲得廣大市民支持，便應進行公眾諮詢，進行全面及徹底的公眾諮詢。
What I wish to say is that if the Government is very confident that this proposal has the support of the general public it should conduct a public consultation a comprehensive and thorough consultation
它說已經過充分討論，這真是很奇怪！
It says that the proposal has already been thoroughly discussed . This is strange!
我進入立法會參加交通事務委員會及鐵路事宜小組委員會，每次向時任局長、副局長，還有律政司司長提問，他們都是說會在本屆政府完結前公布方案，暫時未有定案，所以無法深入討論。
After I became a Legislative Council Member I joined the Panel on Transport and the Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways . Whenever I asked the incumbent Secretary Under Secretary and Secretary for Justice on this proposal they all said that the proposal would be announced before the Government ended its term and there was no finalized proposal for further discussion
其實，政府從來沒有與立法會或公眾作正式討論，它確實沒有討論過現時提出來的"一地兩檢"方案，因為當時政府表示未有具體定案，仍與內地商討中。
In fact the Government has never held any formal discussion with the Legislative Council or the public on the co - location arrangement because it said that discussion with the Mainland was underway with no finalized option yet
在梁振英政府時期，政府表示未有定案；到了林鄭月娥政府便說有定案，不過時日無多，要趕着通車，所以不進行公眾諮詢，況且以前已經討論過。
The LEUNG Chun - ying Government said during its term that there was yet to be any finalized proposal . But there is now a finalized proposal under the Carrie LAM Government except the Government now claims that time is limited due to the need to meet the commissioning of the XRL and that it will not conduct any public consultation because the proposal has been discussed before
上屆政府一拖再拖，沒有回答究竟是否已經落實"一地兩檢"，是否已經有協議，它一拖再拖，直至傳媒揭發原本已經預計在福田站設立口岸的位置，現時卻成為杳無人煙、空空蕩蕩、讓市民候車的位置。
The last Government stalled on the proposal and refused to answer whether it has chosen the co - location arrangement or not and whether it has already forged an agreement with the Mainland . It stalled on the proposal until the press discovered that the area in Futian Station originally reserved for the port area was now left vacant and used as a parking lot
這個突然的改動是從何而來呢？
Why is there such a sudden change?
政府直到現在也沒有交代。
To date the Government has not given any explanation
到現在都是不明不白。
It is still a mystery
主席，政府表示向立法會提交一項無約束力議案，是希望尊重民意機關。
President the Government says that the non - binding motion which it submitted to the Legislative Council seeks to show its respect for this public opinion body
首先，如果用政府的邏輯，提交立法會便是尊重民意機關的話，那麼不進行公眾諮詢，是否不尊重香港的小市民呢？
First if this logic of the Government stands then is refraining from conducting a public consultation equivalent to disrespect for Hong Kong people?
建制派議員或政府可以說不是，立法會是代表香港民意，但這樣便變成一項政治哲學討論，即究竟立法會是否真正能夠代表民意呢？
Pro - establishment Members or the Government may disagree and say that the Legislative Council is the representative of Hong Kong people . But this will become a debate on political philosophy . Can the Legislative Council truly represent the views of Hong Kong people?
立法會一半議員是由直選產生，另一半則是功能界別。
Half of the Legislative Council Members are returned from direct election while the other half are elected through their functional constituencies
以我對普選的理解，普選其中一個最重要的元素，就是每人投票的分量大致上相等。
My understanding of universal suffrage tells me that one of the important elements of universal suffrage is that each vote carries more or less the same importance
我不大想仿效有些同事所說，建制派來自功能界別的議員是"零 票"議員，我不想作這樣的表述。
I do not want to echo some Members in saying that the Functional Constituency Members from the pro - establishment camp are zero - vote Members . I do not want to say so
"零票"代表沒有人與他競爭，我且不爭議其界別沒有人與他競爭這一點，但他只是代表其界別有權投票的選民，並非代表整個界別。
Zero vote means they are elected without any contest . Whether these Members were returned uncontested or not I will not challenge this point for the moment . But these Members only represent a fraction of the people not everyone in their industries who have a right to vote
例如我很尊重的陳振英議員，銀行界有很多從業員，但能夠投票給陳振英議員的，只是整個銀行界中的極少數。
For example Mr CHAN Chun - ying whom I respect very much is returned from the banking sector which has many practitioners . But only a very small fraction of the practitioners have the right to cast votes for him . They account for a very small percentage of the banking sector
而全世界普遍的民主制度，都是採用一種相對均等的方式，容許市民在沒有篩選下，揀選自己的民意代表。
All common democratic regimes in the world tend to adopt a relatively fair approach allowing people to choose their representative without screening
但是，立法會整體的組成並不是這樣。
However the overall composition of the Legislative Council does not follow this approach
主席，如果政府說，它尊重立法會，就是尊重香港的民意，我覺得這是以偏概全的說法，尤其是民選代表在"DQ案"後，有若干議員被取消資格，進一步損害香港立法會民意代表的分量。
President the Government says that by showing respect for the Legislative Council it is showing respect for public views . I think this is a sweeping generalization . This is especially true after the DQ case which led to the disqualification of certain Members
所以，我認為政府這樣說，只是一種掩耳盜鈴式的說法。
I thus think that the Governments remark is self - deceiving
主席，有議員近日不斷批評我們民主派"拉布"，希望大家留意，民建聯前主席兼立法會前主席曾鈺成先生的說話，他說，"拉布"在"一國兩制"下是容許的。
President in recent days some Members have been criticizing the democratic camp for filibustering . I wish to draw Members attention to the remark made by Jasper TSANG the former Chairman of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong and the former President of the Legislative Council . He says that filibustering is allowed under one country two systems
主席，就政制及內地事務局在2017年施政報告所涉及的內容，較早前在立法會政制事務委員會及工商事務委員會已經有機會跟議員有詳細的交流和討論。
President regarding the contents of the 2017 Policy Address that see the involvement of the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau I have had the opportunities to exchange views and discuss in depth with Members in the Panel on Constitutional Affairs and the Panel on Commerce and Industry of the Legislative Council earlier
我在聆聽議員今天的發言後，並顧及昨天和前天議員就駐內地辦事處的發言，我在此扼要回應數點。
After listening to Members speeches today and taking into account the speeches made by Members on our Mainland offices yesterday and the day before here I will briefly respond to a few points
一直以來，我們與內地在經貿和各方面的合作，均按"一國兩制"和互惠雙贏的原則來推動這方面的工作。
All along we have been promoting cooperation with the Mainland in economic trade and other aspects under one country two systems and the principle of attaining mutual benefits
大家可看到，去年國家"十三五"規劃中的《港澳專章》正體現"一國兩制"的靈活性和適切性。
As we can see the Dedicated Chapter on Hong Kong and Macao in the National 13 Five - Year Plan promulgated last year has exactly manifested the flexibility and suitability of one country two systems
《港澳專章》提及數點，包括再一次確定香港的國際金融、航運、貿易中心地位；中央支持香港繼續推動和發展高端服務業，當中包括法律服務、創新科技和各樣專業服務；繼續支持我們與內地各個區域展開合作，以及鼓勵並支持香港的中小微企和青年到內地拓展市場和創業空間等，這些均有利香港未來的經濟發展。
A few points were mentioned in the Dedicated Chapter including reaffirmation of Hong Kongs status as an international financial transportation and trade centre; Central Authorities support for Hong Kongs continuous promotion and development of high - end service industries including legal services innovation and technology and various kinds of professional services; continuous support for us to commence cooperation with various regions on the Mainland and encouraging and supporting micro small and medium enterprises as well as young people in Hong Kong to go to the Mainland to tap the market and explore the room for starting businesses . All of these are conducive to Hong Kongs future economic development
至於政府之間的合作，回歸以來，我們在粵港合作、深港合作、與泛珠三角的合作、京港合作、滬港合作等機制中，過往數年也有不少進展。
As regards cooperation between governments after the reunification much progress has been made over the past few years under our mechanisms of collaboration with Guangdong Shenzhen the Pan - Pearl River Delta Region Beijing Shanghai etc
在這些基礎上，我們兩年前再開設香港與福建的正式合作機制，在過往亦有就數個雙方有連繫和商界有興趣的範疇展開廣泛合作。
On these foundations two years ago we further established an official mechanism for collaboration between Hong Kong and Fujian and we have set off extensive cooperation in several areas in which both parties have maintained liaison and the business sector is interested
不少議員提及駐內地的辦事處，我們在過往數年也積極推動這方面的工作，一些大的辦事處或經貿辦事處有4個，在加設駐武漢辦事處後即有5個。
A number of Members have mentioned our Mainland offices . Over the past few years we have proactively taken forward the work in this regard . There are four major offices or Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices ETOs
在這5個辦事處之下，我們在現屆政府開始時設有3個聯絡辦事處，將會在今年年中拓展至總共11個聯絡辦事處。
And with the establishment of the Wuhan ETO the number of such offices will increase to five . We will set up additional liaison units under these five offices by the middle of this year bringing the total number of liaison units to 11 compared with three when the current - term Government took office
換言之，在內地的東南西北中的地方，也設有我們的辦事處。
In other words there are our units in the Eastern Southern Western Northern and Central regions on the Mainland
此外，最近，駐上海經貿辦新開設了入境事務組，為香港市民提供相關服務，包括無 須回港便可換領特區護照等服務，的而且確受到當地港商和港人的歡迎。
Moreover recently the Shanghai ETO has newly set up the Immigration Division to provide the people of Hong Kong with relevant services including replacement of the Special Administrative Region SAR passports without the need to return to Hong Kong which are indeed welcomed by Hong Kong businessmen and Hongkongers there
這些辦事處亦負責在"一國兩制"原則下，推廣香港作為投資、經商和就業的理想地方。
These units are also responsible for promoting Hong Kong as an ideal place for making investments doing business and pursuing careers
關於性傾向歧視方面，特區政府正積極跟進"消除歧視性小眾諮詢小組"提出的策略及措施，包括加強宣傳、制訂不歧視約章、檢討支援服務、提供培訓和資源以提高特定專業及界別的人員對性小眾的敏感度，以及研究其他司法管轄區推行反歧視措施的經驗。
Regarding discrimination on the ground of sexual orientation the SAR Government is proactively following up the strategies and measures proposed by the Advisory Group on Eliminating Discrimination against Sexual Minorities including stepping up publicity formulating a charter on non - discrimination reviewing the support services providing training and resources to raise the sensitivity of personnel in specific professions and sectors towards sexual minorities and studying the experience of other jurisdictions in implementing anti - discrimination measures
我們會繼續透過不同的公眾教育及宣傳活動，推廣有關不歧視不同性傾向及跨性別人士的信息，藉此期望在社會上建立多元、包容及互相尊重的文化和價值觀。
We will continue to promote the message of non - discrimination against people of different sexual orientations and transgenders with a view to nurturing a culture and value of diversity tolerance and mutual respect in society
我們已在這數方面的工作投入資源，在下星期的財政預算案以至隨後的特別財務委員會會議上，我們會繼續與議員交代具體的資源配合情況。
We have injected resources for the work in these several aspects . We will continue to give Members a specific account of the corresponding allocation of resources in the Budget next week and special meetings of the Finance Committee that follow . Some Members have also mentioned the review of the discrimination law
有議員亦提到歧視條例的檢討，平等機會委員會提出的建議牽涉範圍廣泛，我們計劃在不久將來就平機會提出優先處理的部分建議，與立法會政制事務委員會開展討論，我們計劃在3月份的議程上提出展開相關討論。
The recommendations made by the Equal Opportunities Commission EOC cover a wide area . We plan to commence discussion in the near future with the Panel on Constitutional Affairs of the Legislative Council on some of the recommendations to which EOC has proposed according priority . We plan to bring up the relevant issue for discussion on the agenda in March
我們特別希望就一些較易取得共識的議題，進行較深入研究並聽取各方的意見。
We especially wish to conduct more in - depth studies and collect the views of various interested parties on subjects which are easier to attain a consensus
胡志偉議員和邵家臻議員的修正案均有提及本屆特區政府就政制發展方面的工作。
Both Mr WU Chi - wais amendment and that of Mr SHIU Ka - chun have mentioned the work of the current - term SAR Government on constitutional development
我在此重申本屆特區政府是決心依法落實2017年普選行政長官的目標。
Here let me reiterate the determination of the current - term SAR Government to achieve the objective of selecting the Chief Executive by universal suffrage in compliance with law in 2017
就此，本屆政府在2013年年底開始，先後進行了兩輪的公眾諮詢，其間出席超過300場諮詢活動，"政改三人組"用心聆聽社會各界的意見，並且全面地、如實地向全國人大常委會提交報告，以啟動政改"五步曲"的憲制程序，並將有關報告向社會公布。
In this connection since the end of 2013 the current - term Government had conducted two rounds of public consultation and attended more than 300 consultation events during the process . The constitutional reform trio listened attentively to the views of various sectors in society comprehensively and truthfully reported to the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC so as to initiate the constitutional procedures for the Five - step Process of constitutional reform and released the relevant report to the community
主席，政改從來也是十分高難度的工作，政治上非常敏感，十分容易造成社會矛盾，甚至引發社會躁動。
President constitutional reform has always been a tall task . Highly sensitive on the political front it may easily cause social conflicts and even lead to social unrest
不過，本屆政府仍然為落實普選時間表，為市民大眾期望可以早日以"一人一票"方式選出行政長 官而努力。
Nevertheless the current - term Government still made strenuous efforts in finalizing a timetable for universal suffrage in light of the public expectation of selecting the Chief Executive by one person one vote as early as possible
我們以迎難而上、不屈不撓的精神，努力爭取社會各界和70位立法會議員的支持，希望使2017年的行政長官選舉可以透過"一人一票"普選產生。
Rising to the challenges ahead with resilience we strove for the support of various sectors in society and the 70 Legislative Council Members in the hope that the Chief Executive Election in 2017 would be conducted by way of universal suffrage of one person one vote
因此，我對上屆立法會28名泛民議員的反對立場，感到非常遺憾，對政制發展因此而原地踏步，感到失望。
Hence I express my deep regret for the stance of the 28 pan - democratic Members against the proposal in the last - term Legislative Council . I am disappointed that the development of constitutional reform has come to a standstill because of this
代理主席，我希望泛民主派的朋友能夠"經一事，長一智"，汲取歷史教訓，回歸到《基本法》和全國人大常委會的解釋和決定，並負起應有的憲制責任，為未來重啟政改打好基礎，並願意積極和有建設性地與特區政府及中央進行溝通，建立互信。
Deputy President I hope Members of the pan - democratic camp can gain in the wit from the fall in the pit learn a lesson from history and go back to the Basic Law and the interpretation and decision of NPCSC . I hope they will also duly shoulder their constitutional responsibility lay a proper foundation for restarting constitutional reform in the future and willingly communicate and establish mutual trust with the SAR Government and the Central Authorities in a proactive and constructive manner
主席，我動議若稍後就"致謝議案"或其修正案再進行點名表決，表決須在鐘聲響起1分鐘後進行。
President I move that in the event of further divisions being claimed in respect of the Motion of Thanks or any amendments thereto this Council do proceed to each of such divisions immediately after the division bell has been rung for one minute
主席，我只餘下5分鐘發言時間，我想在此與大家談談法治問題。
President I have got only five minutes left to speak . I wish to talk about the rule of law with Members
正如施政綱領第八章"法治、管治"的引言所述，"法治對保障我們各種權利及自由，以及促進香港作為國際金融及商業中心的發展，至為重要。
As stated in the introduction of Chapter 8 Rule of Law Governance of the Policy Agenda The rule of law is vital for safeguarding our rights and freedoms . It is also instrumental in promoting Hong Kongs development as an international financial and commercial centre
我們會不斷完善法律制度，強化法律基建，以確保......公義得以彰顯。
We will continue to improve our legal system and enhance our legal infrastructure to ensure that justice are upheld
治安是社會穩定的基石。
Law and order is the cornerstone of a stable society
我們的紀律部隊勤勉盡責"。
Our disciplined services are firmly committed
今天香港成為世界上最安全的城市之一，亦有賴我們廉潔的警隊。
Also thanks to our clean and honest Police Force Hong Kong has become one of the safest cities in the world
在2014年9月28日發生的佔中事件中，政府展示出莫大的忍耐，而警方亦同時展示出極高的情操和專業精神，終於克服危機，免卻香港的金融和商業完全停頓。
In the Occupy Central incident that occurred on 28 September 2014 the Government exercised great patience and the Police also demonstrated immensely noble virtues and professionalism thereby overcoming the crisis eventually and avoiding a complete halt of financial and commercial operations in Hong Kong
過程中，7名警員在受到極大的壓力下，在維護秩序期間研判犯錯。
In the process under tremendous pressure seven police officers made a wrong judgment while maintaining order
今天"七警案"已審結，他們面對入獄兩年，做錯事便必須面對法律後果。
Today the case of seven police officers has closed and they face an imprisonment term of two years . Anyone who has done wrong must face legal consequences
在法律面前，人人平等。
All are equal before the law
無論你是警察、律師、教師還是牧師，人人平等。
Be it a police officer a lawyer a teacher or a pastor all are equal
相反，在2014年9月28日發起佔中的3名首腦戴耀廷、陳健民及朱耀明導致香港金鐘、銅鑼灣和旺角發生79日的佔中雨傘革命。
On the contrary the three leaders organizing Occupy Central on 28 September 2014 Benny TAI CHAN Kin - man and CHU Yiu - ming led to the 79 - day Occupy Central Umbrella Revolution in Admiralty Causeway Bay and Mong Kok
這是一次革命，令香港翻天覆地，除金融外，還將我們的治安、商業完全顛覆。
It was a revolution that turned Hong Kong upside down . In addition to our finance it has completely subverted social order and commerce
在這種情況下，如何令公眾人士對我們的檢控部門有信心呢？
In that case how can we command public confidence in our prosecutions department?
因此，在這個時候，我們需要的是立刻行動，以彰顯香港的法治精神，這是至為重要的。
Hence at this moment we need to take immediate actions so as to rightly manifest the spirit of the rule of law in Hong Kong which is essential
因此，律政司司長，是時候坐言起行，採取行動！
Hence Secretary for Justice it is time to put words into deeds and take action!
代理主席，就議員在地區行政方面的發言，我想作以下回應： 區議會在地區行政擔當重要角色，也是特區政府在處理地區事務的最重要合作夥伴。
Deputy President my responses to the remarks made by Members concerning district administration are as follows District Councils DCs play a vital role in district administration which are also the most important partner of the SAR Government in handling district affairs
為了讓區議會更好地發揮其角色和職能，政府致力加強支援在地區行政方面的工作，同心協力解決地區的問題，提升居民的生活質素。
To better facilitate DCs in exercising their role and functions the Government strives to strengthen the support to the work concerning district administration and makes a concerted effort to resolve district issues thereby improving the quality of life of residents
現時，社區參與計劃每年撥款共3億6,000多萬元，讓區議會推展各式各樣的社區參與活動，滿足地區的需要。
At present the total annual funding for the Community Involvement Programme amounts to some 360 million which allows DCs to carry out various kinds of community involvement projects and meet local needs
這項計劃一直受到廣大市民歡迎。
This programme has been well received by the general public
為進一步加強區議會推行社區參與項目，我們將額外向社區參與計劃撥款1億元，把每年的總撥款額提升至4億6,000多萬元，讓區議會推行或資助更多社區參與項目，讓更多市民受惠。
To further enhance the implementation of community involvement projects by DCs we plan to provide an additional 100 million for the Community Involvement Programme and increase the total annual funding to some 460 million so as to enable DCs to implement or sponsor more community involvement projects and benefit more members of the public
"地區主導行動計劃"貫徹"地區問題地區解決，地區機遇地區掌握"的理念。
The District - led Actions Scheme fully adheres to the concept of addressing district issues at the local level and capitalising on local opportunities
