我們亦鼓勵僱員如被指使收取超過法例所規定的佣金的話，應挺身而出，指證相關持牌人或管理層的罪行。
We also encourage those employees who have been instructed to charge commission exceeding the statutory prescribed rate to come forward and report the offence of the relevant licensee or management
有議員對於《職業介紹所實務守則》的執行表示關注。
Some Members expressed concern about the implementation of the Code of Practice for Employment Agencies the Code
勞工處在2017年1月頒布《守則》，在過去1年，處方就職業介紹所未能符合《守則》的情況，一共發出1,031次口頭警告，19次書面警告，亦撤銷了4間職業介紹所的牌照。
Since the promulgation of the Code in January 2017 LD has over the past year served a total of 1 031 verbal warnings and 19 written warnings for non - compliance with the Code by employment agencies and revoked the licences of four employment agencies
《條例草案》通過之後，《守則》將獲賦予法律地位，勞工處處長可拒絕發出、拒絕續發或撤銷違反《守則》規定的職業介紹所的牌照。
With the Bills passage the Code will be conferred a legal status enabling the Commissioner for Labour to revoke or refuse to issue or renew a licence of an employment agency which has violated the requirements of the Code
勞工處會繼續教育、宣傳和加強巡查，多管齊下確保業界依循《守則》。
To ensure the industrys compliance with the Code LD will continue to pursue its multi - pronged approach of education publicity and stepped up inspections
張超雄議員、蔣麗芸議員、郭榮鏗議員、尹兆堅議員和譚文豪議員過往都有提出過職業介紹所其他相關的罪行或不良行為，例如未經求職者同意而扣押其護照，又或安排求職者向財務公司借貸等。
Dr Fernando CHEUNG Dr CHIANG Lai - wan Mr Dennis KWOK Mr Andrew WAN and Mr Jeremy TAM have in the past mentioned other offences or malpractices of employment agencies such as withholding passports of jobseekers without their consent or arranging for jobseekers to take out loans from financial institutions
我想指出，這些罪行在現行法例或機制下已能處理。
I wish to point out that these offences can already be addressed under the current laws or mechanisms
在未經求職者明確同意下扣押個人財物，可能干犯《盜竊罪條例》。
Withholding the property of jobseekers without their explicit consent may constitute an offence under the Theft Ordinance
此外，《守則》亦清楚訂明職業介紹所不得在未經同意下扣押求職者的任何個人財物，以及不得直接或間接牽涉在求職者的財務事宜之中。
Besides the Code expressly states that an employment agency must not withhold any personal property of jobseekers without their consent nor should it be directly or indirectly involved in the financial affairs of jobseekers
勞工處在《守則》頒布之後，已撤銷一間違反扣押求職者護照的職業介紹所的牌照，以及向3間牽涉在求職者財務事宜的職業介紹所發出書面警告。
Subsequent to the promulgation of the Code LD already revoked the licence of one employment agency for withholding the passports of jobseekers while serving written warnings to three agencies involved in the financial affairs of jobseekers
事實上，勞工處一直嚴厲執法，打擊職業介紹所的違法行為。
As a matter of fact LD has been taking rigorous actions against violations of the law by employment agencies
自2014年起，勞工處已大幅提升對職業介紹所的巡查次數，由每年1,300次增加至1,800次，今年的巡查目標將進一步提升至2,000次。
Since 2014 LD has substantially increased the number of inspections targeting employment agencies from 1 300 to 1 800 annually . The target of inspection this year will be raised further to 2 000
陳沛然議員建議勞工處除巡查外，亦應考慮訪問求職者，特別是外傭，是否有被職業介紹所剝削的情況。
Dr Pierre CHAN suggested that in addition to inspection LD should consider questioning jobseekers especially foreign domestic workers to find out whether they have been exploited by employment agencies
其實，現時勞工處職業介紹所事務科在巡查時，是會抽查求職者的紀錄，並會隨後聯 絡該求職者作查問。
In fact in the course of inspections staff of the Employment Agencies Administration of LD will at present conduct spot checks on the records of jobseekers then contact and question the relevant jobseekers to make enquiries
聽到議員的意見後，我們定會繼續嚴格執法，並會加強宣傳工作及更新《守則》，讓職業介紹所清楚知悉最新的法例要求。
After listening to Members views we will continue to rigorously enforce the law stepping up our efforts in publicity and updates of the Code and keeping employment agencies clearly informed of the latest legal requirements
我們會檢視規管職業介紹所的人力需求，並在有需要時爭取額外資源。
We will review the staffing requirements for regulation of employment agencies and request additional resources as and when necessary
各位議員，《條例草案》的各項建議回應了社會、求職者和僱主的期望，讓勞工處更有效地規管職業介紹所，加強對求職者包括外傭的保障。
Honourable Members the Bill with its various proposals has answered the expectations of society jobseekers and employers enabling more effective regulation of employment agencies by LD and enhancing protection for jobseekers including foreign domestic helpers
我感謝法案委員會和其他議員的意見，並懇請各位議員支持《條例草案》，以及我稍後在全體委員會審議階段提出的修正案。
I thank members of the Bills Committee and other Members for their views and implore Members to support the Bill as well as the Committee stage amendments to be proposed by me later on
我想補充一點，勞工處在宣傳和教育外傭這方面的工作，過往一直不斷加強，日後亦會繼續加強。
I wish to add that LD has all along been stepping up publicity and education among foreign domestic helpers and will continue to do so in future
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：《2017年僱傭條例草案》，予以二讀。
I now put the question to you and that is That the Employment Amendment No . 2 Bill 2017 be read the Second time
《2017年僱傭條例草案》。
Employment Amendment No . 2 Bill 2017
根據《釋義及通則條例》就延展於2018年1月24日提交本會省覽的《2018年能源效益條例令》的修訂期限而動議的擬議決議案。
Proposed resolution under the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance to extend the period for amending the Energy Efficiency Ordinance Order 2018 which was laid on the Table of this Council on 24 January 2018
我希望我以下的發言可以協助她更了解張超雄議員的修正案，而我亦認為民主派議員如有機會應再次發言，以協助蔣麗芸議員釐清很多混亂的邏輯，因為她對《2017年僱傭條例草案》及修正案的理解可能有些偏差。
I hope what I am going to say will help her understand more about Dr Fernando CHEUNGs amendment and I also think that if possible Members from the pro - democracy camp should speak again in order to help Dr CHIANG Lai - wan straighten out much of her muddled reasoning because her understanding of the Employment Amendment No . 2 Bill 2017 the Bill and the amendment may be a bit mistaken
主席，如果人人也是如蔣麗芸議員般的好僱主，或人人也是如蔣麗芸議員的家族般的老實商人，便根本無須立法。
Chairman if every employer is as good as Dr CHIANG Lai - wan is or every businessman is as honest Dr CHIANG Lai - wans family members are there is simply no need for legislation
現在我們立法是要打擊一些不良中介公司榨取外傭微薄薪酬的行為。
Our current legislative exercise seeks to combat some unscrupulous intermediaries acts of squeezing the meagre salary of foreign domestic helpers
主席，我當然支持政府的《條例草案》，亦支持張超雄議員今天提出的修正案，將檢控濫收中介費的法定時效限制延長至24個月。
Chairman I certainly support the Bill introduced by the Government and the amendment proposed by Dr Fernando CHEUNG today with the latter extending the statutory time limit for prosecution of overcharging of intermediary charges to 24 months
其實我們今天才處理《條例草案》，已經非常慚愧。
In fact we are most ashamed of ourselves for not dealing with the Bill until today
曾幾何時，香港是在華人地區中人權排名居首的地方，現在卻變成一個近乎販賣人口和把人當成奴隸的地方。
Once upon a time Hong Kong ranked first in terms of human rights among Chinese regions . But nowadays it has virtually become a human trafficking hub where people are enslaved
政府到今天才嚴正處理這個問題。
Only now is the Government addressing this issue seriously
在二讀時很多議員均提到一些研究數字，指出過去多年來，中介公司勞役外傭的個案時有發生，令香港蒙羞。
A number of Members have quoted some research figures during the Second Reading and pointed out that over the years cases of intermediaries enslaving foreign domestic helpers have occurred from time to time thereby bringing Hong Kong into disrepute
今天張超雄議員只是協助政府完善《條例草案》，在追溯期方面給予外傭多點空間。
Today Dr Fernando CHEUNG is just helping the Government perfect the Bill allowing more room for foreign domestic helpers in terms of the retrospective period
今天大家可以說由於張超雄議員的修正案太遲提出，未有時間討論，故暫時無法支持。
Today Members may say that having no time to discuss the amendment proposed by Dr Fernando CHEUNG in a belated manner they cannot support it at the moment
但如果大家以一些歪理提出反對，只會令國際 社會或外傭組織認為香港現在進行的立法千瘡百孔，明明可以做好點卻不去做，究竟是否真心誠意去做這件事呢？
But if Members opposition is based on sophistry it will only make the international community or foreign domestic helper groups think that the current legislative exercise in Hong Kong is full of flaws and loopholes . We could have done better but we have not . Are we really sincere in doing it?
舉例而言，我看到政府對張超雄議員的信件所作的回覆，其中一段提到政府認為建議延長時效限制至在罪行發生的日期後12個月的修正案已容許受屈的求職者有足夠時間提出投訴時間足夠與否其實應由受害人而非政府決定並同時鼓勵他們在罪行發生後盡早提出投訴，這當然是正確的。
For example I have read the Governments reply to Dr Fernando CHEUNGs letter in which one of the paragraphs states that the Government considers its amendment proposing to extend the time limit to within 12 months after the date of the commission of the offence has allowed sufficient time for aggrieved jobseekers to file complaints―but whether the time is sufficient should actually be a matter decided by victims instead of the Government―and at the same time encouraged them to file complaints as soon as possible after commission of the offence . This is certainly true
正如性侵案件，在遭受侵犯後短時間內舉報當然是最有效、最減省政府資源的做法，在搜證或調查方面也會更快。
Just like sexual assault cases making a report soon after an assault incident is certainly the most effective way which can minimize the use of government resources while speeding up collection of evidence or investigation
然而，受害人當然有其困難，無論是認知上還是客觀環境條件上的困難，令他們無法盡快舉報，因而才會設立容許追溯的時效限制。
Nevertheless the victims certainly have their own difficulties be they cognitive or physical constraints rendering them unable to make a prompt report . It is only because of this that a time limit for retrospective complaints has been set
其實我認為要重新反思整套法例。
In fact I consider it necessary to reflect on the entire law afresh
我們明白這一點，而受害人亦明白越遲舉報，成功控訴的機會可能會越低。
We understand this point and those victims also understand that the later a report is made the less likely for a case to be won
局長或政府其實要向市民解釋清楚。
The Secretary or the Government actually needs to explain it clearly to members of the public
從僱主或中介公司的角度來看，如將檢控期延長至6年或7年，當然會增加行政成本。
From the perspective of employers or intermediaries an extension of the time limit for prosecution to six or seven years will certainly increase the administrative costs
他表示大部分被濫收中介費的外傭均是初次來港工作，對相關條例及自身權益了解不多。
According to him most foreign domestic helpers overcharged by intermediaries are on their first appointment to Hong Kong with limited knowledge of the relevant law and their own rights and interests
他的意思是有些來港人士認為剝削是常態，舉報數字因而不高。
What he means is that some of these people consider exploitation a norm thus resulting in a low number of reports
但其實現在沒有一些互相鼓勵的成功例子，只靠外傭組織鼓勵他們。
But in fact successful examples are currently absent for them to encourage one another and they are just encouraged by foreign domestic helper groups
根據本地工會的經驗，願意挺身指控職業介紹所的外傭，大多數是合約即將或已經完結的人士，希望透過追溯期討回公道。
From the experience of local labour unions most foreign domestic helpers who are willing to come forward to accuse employment agencies are those whose contracts will soon expire or have expired hoping to see justice done through the retrospective period
我曾翻看有關文件，發現有些學者或關注這個問題的人士指出半年的時效限制已過時。
Having read the papers I find that some scholars or those who are concerned about this issue have pointed out that the half - year time limit is outdated
此外，延長舉報期限會提高對相關罪行的阻嚇作用，令這些受違法中介公司影響的外籍員工敢於舉報。
Moreover an extension of the time limit for making a report will enhance the deterrence against such offences thereby encouraging those expatriate employees affected by lawbreaking intermediaries to make a report
當越多人舉報，便會形成一種風氣，反過來會令中介公司稍為收斂，更謹慎行事。
With more and more people making a report a trend will be formed which will in turn make intermediaries exercise some restraint and act with greater caution
我認為政府的回覆中最無理的一點是額外開支的問題。
I think the most unreasonable point in the Governments reply is additional expenditure
我認為受害人有權在合理時限內為自己的權益、所受的屈辱和勞役作出申訴。
I hold that victims have the right to make a complaint about their grievances and forced labour for the sake of their own rights and interests
主席，我動議講稿附錄我的修正案，以修正《2017年僱傭條例草案》第7條，在《僱傭條例》第60條下加入第款。
Chairman I move my amendment to amend clause 7 of the Employment Amendment No . 2 Bill 2017 the Bill by adding subsection 7A in section 60 of the Employment Ordinance EO as set out in the Appendix to the Script
這項修正案是因應法案委員會的意見而提出。
The amendment is proposed in response to the views expressed by the Bills Committee
法案委員會委員普遍對這項修正案並無異議。
Members in general have not raised any objection to the amendment
這項修正案的目的是延長檢控在現行《僱傭條例》第606及7條下，關於職業介紹所無牌經營和濫收求職者佣金罪行的時效限制。
The purpose of the amendment is to extend the time limit for prosecution of offences of unlicensed operation of employment agencies and overcharging of commission from jobseekers by employment agencies under section 606 and 7 of EO
根據《裁判官條例》第26條，"凡成文法則對罪行......並無規定作出申訴或提出告發的時效，則申訴或告發須分別於其所涉事項發生後起計的6個月內作出或提出。
According to section 26 of the Magistrates Ordinance in any case of an offence where no time is limited by any enactment for making any complaint or laying any information in respect of such offence such complaint shall be made or such information laid within six months from the time when matter of such complaint or information respectively arose
"現時，《僱傭條例》第60條並無就條文所述的罪行指明法定時效限制，因此《裁判官條例》第26條適用於《僱傭條例》第606及7條。
At present there is no statutory time limit specified for the offences under section 60 of EO . Hence section 26 of the Magistrates Ordinance applies to section 606 and 7 of EO
在法案委員會的會議上，委員建議政府考慮延長檢控上述罪行的法定時效限制，以便投訴人有足夠時間提出投訴，以免不良職業介紹所在法定時效限制屆滿後逃過刑事責任。
At the meetings of the Bills Committee Members suggested that the Government should consider extending the statutory time limit for prosecution of the aforesaid offences so as to allow complainants sufficient time to file complaints and pre - empt the situation where unscrupulous employment agencies could escape from criminal liability upon the expiry of the statutory time limit
政府同意提交這項修正案，將檢控該兩項罪行的時效限制延長至罪行發生的日期後12個月，讓受屈的求職者有充分時間投訴，亦配合《僱傭條例》第56條的規定，即職業介紹所須將求職者紀錄，在每個會計年度完結後保留不少於12個月的規定。
The Government agreed to submit this amendment proposing an extension of time limit for prosecuting the two aforementioned offences to within 12 months after the date of the commission of the offence . It will allow aggrieved jobseekers sufficient time to file complaints while tying in with the requirement under section 56 of EO that employment agencies have to retain records of job applicants for a period of not less than 12 months after the expiry of each accounting year
正如我們在2017年11月21日舉行的法案委員會會議上向委員所解釋，受屈求職者盡早向勞工處作出舉報是非常重要的，因為證據會隨時間流失，證人的記憶也會隨着時間流逝而變得模糊。
Just as we explained to members at the Bills Committee meeting on 21 November 2017 with evidence and memory fading with the lapse of time it is important to start the investigation and evidence collection early
加上涉及濫收佣金的個案通常十分依賴受害人及證人提供的證據，例如職業介紹所發出的付款收據及職業介紹所保留的求職紀錄等文件證明，以及受屈求職者的證供，因此盡早作出調查和搜證對成功檢控非常重要。
Moreover cases involving overcharging of commission in general rely heavily on evidence from victims and witnesses which includes such documentary proof as payment receipts issued by employment agencies and placement records kept by employment agencies as well as statements given by the aggrieved jobseekers . Early investigation and evidence collection is thus crucial to a successful prosecution
我們既要容許受屈求職者有充分時間提出投訴，亦要鼓勵他們盡早提出投訴，兩者之間須取得合理平衡。
Between allowing sufficient time for aggrieved jobseekers to file complaints and at the same time encouraging them to file complaints as soon as possible an appropriate balance must be struck
考慮到上述因素，我們認為延長檢控時效限制至罪行發生日期後12個月是恰當做法，並已適當地回應了委員的關注。
Taking the aforesaid factors into consideration we find an extension of the time limit of prosecution to within 12 months after the date of the commission of offences appropriate and a proper response to the concern of Members
主席，我懇請委員支持我代表政府提出的修正案。
Chairman I implore Members to support the amendment proposed by me on behalf of the Government
這項決議的目的是上調《僱員補償條例》所規定的醫療費最高每天限額。
The purpose of this resolution is to increase the maximum daily rates of medical expenses under the Employees Compensation Ordinance
根據《僱員補償條例》，受傷僱員或訂明職業病患者如因工傷或訂明職業病接受醫治，可索還實際已支付的醫療費，但不可超過該條例訂明的最高每天限額。
Under the Ordinance an injured employee or a prescribed occupational disease sufferer who has received medical treatment in respect of a work injury or a prescribed occupational disease may claim reimbursement of the actual amount of medical expenses incurred subject to the maximum daily rates specified in the Ordinance
按既定機制，《僱員補償條例》所規定的醫療費最高限額是與公營醫療服務收費掛鈎。
According to the established mechanism the maximum rates of medical expenses under the Ordinance are linked to public health care service fees and charges
目前，住院或門診治療的最高每天限額皆定為200元，而同日接受住院及門診治療的最高每天限額則定為280元。
Currently the maximum daily rate for inpatient or outpatient treatment is both set at 200 whereas the maximum daily rate for inpatient and outpatient treatment received on the same day is set at 280
新的公營醫療服務收費由2017年6月18日起實施。
The new fees and charges for public health care services have taken effect since 18 June 2017
根據公營醫療服務新收費的實施，我們建議按既定機制，將《僱員補償條例》下住院或門診治療的醫療費最高每天限額由200元相應上調至300元，而同一天接受住院及門診治療的最高每天限額則由280元相應上調至370元。
Based on the new fees and charges for public health care services we propose to correspondingly increase the maximum daily rate of medical expenses for inpatient or outpatient treatment under the Ordinance from 200 to 300 and that for inpatient and outpatient treatment received on the same day from 280 to 370 in accordance with the established mechanism
勞工顧問委員會已通過上述的建議方案，而立法會人力事務委員會亦原則上支持政府盡快上調《僱員補償條例》的醫療費最高每天限額的建議。
The Labour Advisory Board has endorsed the above proposal . Moreover the Legislative Council Panel on Manpower has supported in principle the Governments proposal to increase the maximum daily rates of medical expenses under the Ordinance as soon as practicable
我們建議經修訂的醫療費最高每天限額由2018年2月9日起生效。
We propose that the revised maximum daily rates of medical expenses should become effective from 9 February 2018
我希望議員支持並通過這項決議，讓工傷僱員及訂明職業病患者可盡早獲得更高的醫療費保障。
I hope that Members will support and pass this resolution so as to enhance the protection of injured employees and prescribed occupational disease sufferers in terms of their medical expenses as early as possible
雖然部分意見與今天有關議案內容，特別是有關跟隨機制作出調整金額的部分沒有直接關係，但我們亦已記下來，例如是否需要檢視有關定額或調整機 制；有關職業病的問題、職安健的問題等；一些受工傷或其他影響的工友的復康服務支援，又或儀器甚至消耗品的支援；檢視《僱員補償條例》等工作，我相信日後也會在立法會相關事務委員會上討論。
Although some of the views expressed are not directly related to the contents of the resolution proposed today especially the part on adjusting the rate of medical expenses in accordance with the established mechanism we have already jotted them down . The issues involved include the need to review the rate of medical expenses or the adjustment mechanism; the problems concerning issues such as occupational diseases occupational safety and health; rehabilitation service support granted to workers affected by injuries at work or other matters or support for the use of rehabilitation equipment and consumables; the review of the Employees Compensation Ordinance and so on . I believe all these issues will be discussed in the relevant Panels of the Legislative Council in the future
這項議案的目的是上調《肺塵埃沉着病及間皮瘤條例》......
The purpose of this motion is to increase the maximum daily rates of medical expenses under the Pneumoconiosis and Mesothelioma Compensation Ordinance PMCO
所規定的醫療費最高每天限額。根據《條例》，肺塵埃沉着病及間皮瘤病患者如因上述疾病接受醫治，可索還實際已支付的醫療費，但不可超過《條例》訂明的最高每天限額。
Under PMCO a pneumoconiosis and mesothelioma sufferer who has received medical treatment in respect of the above diseases may claim reimbursement of the actual amount of medical expenses incurred subject to the maximum daily rates specified in the Ordinance
按既定機制，《條例》所規定的醫療費最高限額與公營醫療服務收費掛鈎。
According to the established mechanism the maximum rates of medical expenses under PMCO are linked to public health care service fees and charges
新的公營醫療服務收費自2017年6月18日起實施。
The new fees and charges for public health care services have taken effect since 18 June 2017
根據公營醫療服務的新收費，我們建議按既定機制，將《條例》下住院或門診治療的醫療費最高每天限額由200元相應上調至300元，而同一天接受住院及門診治療的最高每天限額，則由280元相應上調至370元。
Based on the new fees and charges for public health care services we propose to correspondingly increase the maximum daily rate of medical expenses for inpatient or outpatient treatment under PMCO from 200 to 300 and that for inpatient and outpatient treatment received on the same day from 280 to 370 in accordance with the established mechanism
肺塵埃沉着病補償基金委員會及勞工顧問委員會已通過上述的建議方案，而立法會人力事務委員會亦原則上支持政府盡快上調《條例》的醫療費最高每天限額的建議。
The Pneumoconiosis Compensation Fund Board and the Labour Advisory Board endorsed the above proposal . Moreover the Legislative Council Panel on Manpower supported in principle the Governments proposal to increase the maximum daily rates of medical expenses under PMCO as soon as practicable
我們建議，經修訂的醫療費最高每天限額由2018年2月9日起生效。

I hope that Members will support and pass this resolution so as to enhance the protection of persons suffering from pneumoconiosis and mesothelioma in terms of their medical expenses as early as possible
一如上一項決議案，我們聽到議員的意見，並會在適當的場合作出討論，特別是在相關事務委員會。
As in the case of the last resolution we have heard Members opinions and will discuss these issues in appropriate occasions especially at meetings of the Panel on Manpower
我們日後會繼續在立法會相關事務委員會，跟大家商討如何改善有關安排及工友的權益。
We will keep on discussing with Members on enhancing the arrangements and workers rights and benefits at meetings of relevant Panels of the Legislative Council
法律援助服務是香港法律制度的重要一環。
Legal aid services form an integral part of the legal system in Hong Kong
法援政策的目標是確保所有符合《法律援助條例》規定及具備合理理據在香港法院提出訴訟或抗辯的人，不會因缺乏經濟能力而無法尋求公義。
The policy objective of legal aid is to ensure that all those who comply with the regulations of the Legal Aid Ordinance LAO and have reasonable grounds for pursuing or defending a legal action in the Courts of Hong Kong will not be denied access to justice due to a lack of means
任何人士如欲獲得法援，必須同時通過《條例》規定的經濟審查及案情審查。
To qualify for legal aid a person is required to satisfy both the means test and merits test as provided by LAO
目前，根據《條例》第5條，任何人士若其可動用財務資源不超過290,380元，便符合普通法律援助計劃的財務資格，此限額亦適用於刑事法援。
At present a person whose financial resources do not exceed 290,380 is financially eligible for legal aid under the Ordinary Legal Aid Scheme OLAS which covers civil proceedings in the District Court or higher courts as set out in section 5 of LAO . The same limit is also applicable to criminal legal aid
《條例》第5A條則訂明法律援助輔助計劃的財務資格限額為1,451,900元。
The financial eligibility limit for the Supplementary Legal Aid Scheme SLAS is 1,451,900 as specified in section 5A of LAO
根據政府在1999年9月向立法會匯報，政府會每年檢討有關限額，以計及一般物價變動情況，並在兩年一度的檢討時，考慮律師私人接辦案件的訟費變動和其他相關因素。
Pursuant to the Governments report to the Legislative Council in September 1999 the Government will review the relevant limits annually to take into account general price movement and biennially to take into account changes in private litigation costs and other relevant factors
上次財務資格限額的調整於2015年7月實施，反映了在2012年7月至2014年7月期間丙類消費物價指數上升7.7%的變動。
The previous adjustments to the financial eligibility limits was implemented in July 2015 reflecting the 7.7 % increase in Consumer Price Index C CPIC for the period between July 2012 to July 2014
在今次的檢討，我們建議將普通計劃和輔助計劃的財務資格限額分別上調 4%，以反映丙類消費物價指數在2014年7月至2016年7月期間錄得的累積變動。
For the current review we propose to increase the financial eligibility limits under OLAS and SLAS by 4 % to reflect the accumulated change in CPIC for the period of July 2014 to July 2016
我現提出議案，建議將普通計劃的財務資格限額由290,380元調高至302,000元，以及將輔助計劃的限額由1,451,900元調高至1,509,980元。
I am moving the resolution to increase the financial eligibility limits under OLAS from 290,380 to 302,000 and the financial eligibility limits under SLAS from 1,451,900 to 1,509,980
我們已就是次檢討結果知會法律援助服務局、香港大律師公會、香港律師會，以及司法及法律事務委員會。
We have informed the Legal Aid Services Council the Hong Kong Bar Association The Law Society of Hong Kong and the Panel on Administration of Justice and Legal Services of the outcome of the current review
是項擬議決議案經由相關小組委員會審議。
The proposed resolution has been scrutinized by the relevant subcommittee
小組委員會由周浩鼎議員擔任主席，曾於2017年7月14日及11月7日舉行兩次會議審議該擬議決議案。
Under the chairmanship of Mr Holden CHOW the Subcommittee held two meetings on 14 July and 7 November 2017 to examine the proposed resolution
完成審議工作後，小組委員會已在2018年1月12日向內務委員會報告相關工作。
After the completion of the scrutiny the Subcommittee reported to the House Committee its work on 12 January 2018
是項擬議決議案獲得小組委員會支持。
The Subcommittee supports the proposed resolution
有關調整財務資格限額的建議，估計涉及法律援助署每年約140萬元的額外經常開支。
The proposal to increase the financial eligibility limits is estimated to incur an additional recurrent expenditure of around 1.4 million in a full year by the Legal Aid Department LAD
至於調整財務資格限額所涉及的工作，將由法援署的現有人手資源承擔。
The workload in effecting the changes to the financial eligibility limits will be absorbed by LAD with its existing manpower resources
