主席，還有，說來說去，信心是很重要的。
President besides confidence is after all of great importance
如果單靠1,500元這項罰則，老實說，是可以起到阻嚇作用的，但實際執法又如何？
If we rely solely on the penalty of 1,500 frankly speaking it may have deterrent effect but what about the actual law enforcement?
屆時是否真的有足夠人手執法呢？
Will there really be adequate manpower to enforce the law by then?
我看到局長的眼睛在眨，我要說的是，屆時是否單靠環保署的人員執法，還是其他政府部門都會聯手執法呢？
I see the Secretary blink his eyes . What I want to say is Will enforcement be carried out by EPD staff alone or will other government departments join hands to enforce the law?
我認為最關鍵的，局長，就是透過教育來反思如何做到源頭減廢，改變市民過往的習慣。
In my view Secretary the key is to have people reflect on waste reduction at source through education and change their old habits
主席，我想指出，垃圾徵費由環保署執法，可能其他政府部門都會幫手，但實質安排如何，我很希望局長可以跟我們分享，告訴我們如何能使執法有效果，執法能果斷，以至執法能有成績，給市民信心。
President I would like to point out that waste charging will be enforced by EPD and other government departments may render assistance . Yet regarding the specific arrangements I hope the Secretary will share with us how it will ensure that the enforcement will be effective and decisive so as to achieve results and instil confidence among the public
我認為這點反而才是重點，局長，所以我希望他能夠考慮。
I think this should be the key point instead Secretary so I hope he will consider it
另一點，我已說過，就是要從源頭減廢，要做思想工作，要做理念工作，局長。
Another point as I have said is the need to reduce waste at source and engage in ideological and philosophical work Secretary
我不斷重複的說，我一直都支持減廢，我經常把膠樽帶到三色桶丟棄，安排廚餘棄置。
I keep repeating that I always support waste reduction and I always take plastic bottles to three - coloured waste separation bins for disposal and arrange for the disposal of food waste
老實說，"污者自付"是其中一種手段，一種自付的方法，我認為要做好減廢的宣傳，回收是同樣重要的。
Frankly speaking polluter - pays is one of the approaches to have the cost borne by individuals . While it is necessary to better promote waste reduction I think recycling is equally important
政府既然要對棄置廢物向市民徵費，就應從多鼓勵、多促進和多便利市民的角度來看。
As the Government is going to charge the public on waste disposal it should look at it from the perspective of providing more incentive facilitation and convenience for the public
其實，署方於今年1月推出了先導計劃，測試入樽機在香港實施的情況。
In fact EPD launched a pilot scheme in January this year to test out the application of reverse vending machines for beverage containers in Hong Kong
全港放了60部機，每投入一個膠樽就可有0.1元的回贈。
There are 60 machines in Hong Kong and a rebate of 0.1 is provided for every plastic bottle inserted into the machine
結果，直到今年8月1日，共收集了610萬個塑膠飲料容器，平均每日收集3萬個，總回收量只等於全港1.3日棄置堆填區的膠樽數量。
As a result by 1 August this year a total of 6.1 million plastic beverage containers were collected an average of 30 000 bottles per day . Yet the total recovery volume was only equal to the number of plastic bottles disposed of at landfills in Hong Kong for 1.3 days
由此可見，局長，我們要有充足便利市民的回收設施，才能達到促進市民共同參與的目標。
Secretary this shows that we need to have sufficient recycling facilities which are convenient to the public in order to achieve the goal of promoting public participation
如果回收設施不足，誘因不大，根本很難令到市民實踐。
If recycling facilities are inadequate and incentives are not big it will be hard to get the public to pitch in
這一關市民有責任，但政府更加有責任，政府更加要做好這工作。
While members of the public have a role to play in this regard the Governments role is even more significant and it is all the more necessary for the Government to do a good job
對於垃圾分類，我認為香港走在最前面。
I think Hong Kong is at the forefront of waste separation
不過，從2019年開始，國內從上海開始實施垃圾分類，到2020年共46個重點城市已基本建成了生活垃圾分類系統，政府強制社區監督、社會教育，每一個實施垃圾分類的城市都是全城起動，全城投入。
However since 2019 the Mainland has implemented waste separation starting from Shanghai and by 2020 a total of 46 key cities have basically completed their domestic waste separation systems . With the imposition of mandatory community supervision and social education by the government all people in individual cities implementing waste separation are mobilized and participating actively
環保分類亦成為國內的新時尚、新習慣，減廢效果是明顯的，局長。
Waste separation for environmental protection has also become a new trend and a new habit in the Mainland where the effect of waste reduction is obvious Secretary
香港如果又再落後的話，其實真是不理想，所以我認為我們要急起直追。
If Hong Kong is lagging behind again it will really be undesirable . Therefore I think we have to catch up quick
不過，你要記着一點，真的要多管齊下，不要只想一方面。
However you have to remember one point that is the authorities should adopt a multi - pronged approach rather than focusing on a single aspect
在適應期的18個月，我認為要能給市民一個信心。
During the 18 - month phasing - in period I think the authorities have to build up public confidence
主席，垃圾徵費如果沒有公眾配合，其實都是變成名存實亡而已，所以必須要透過我剛才所說的執法、教育相輔相成，才能達到預期的目標。
President without the cooperation of the public waste charging will only exist in name . As such enforcement and education should go hand in hand as I have mentioned earlier in order to achieve the desired goal
正如環保的概念一樣，現時中小學教育，以至公眾的宣傳都有介紹甚麼是環保三色桶，"藍廢紙、黃鋁罐、啡膠樽"，這些分類我們經常都背出來。
Just like the concept of environmental protection the concept about three - coloured separation bins is now being introduced at primary and secondary schools as well as in publicity programmes so we can always tell the separation categories according to the slogan of blue for paper yellow for aluminium cans and brown for plastic bottles
我希望政府都能夠從小開始，在這方面多一點推行教育，這不只是環境局的事情，教育局、民政事務局都需要做。
I hope the Government will step up its education efforts in this area and start the teaching from an early age . This is not merely the task of the Environment Bureau ENB as the Education Bureau EDB and the Home Affairs Bureau HAB also have their part to play
要記着一點，環保這個議題是大家都關心的，時至今日，很多市民都提出要研究如何提高我們的環保意識。
We should bear in mind that environmental protection is of common concern to all of us and today many members of the public have proposed to examine ways to raise our awareness of environmental protection
因此，主席，我想指出，政府除要加強硬件配套執法外，亦要跨局由民政事務、教育、環境局等推動宣傳，在適應期內爭取市民和商戶支持，長遠要多管齊下，做好公民教育。
Therefore President I would like to point out that apart from strengthening hardware support for law enforcement the Government should engage different bureaux including HAB EDB and ENB to undertake promotional efforts to gain the support of the public and business operators during the preparatory period . In the long run a multi - pronged approach should be adopted to enhance civic education
此外，當局亦要透過不同的線上線下宣傳，讓市民更了解這件事。
Moreover the authorities should also make use of various online and offline publicity tools so that the public can better understand this issue
物管業界要知道，商界的朋友都要知道，要提升社會的參與度，加強市民的公民意識，這樣才能從源頭減廢，達到從理念先行這個長遠目標。
The property management industry and friends in the business sector should also be aware of this . It is necessary to raise community participation and enhance peoples civic awareness so as to reduce waste at source and realize the long - term goal of ideology comes first
主席，我謹此發言，支持恢復二讀《條例草案》。
President with these remarks I support the resumption of the Second Reading of the Bill
代理主席，過去30年，香港都市固體廢物總量增加68%，遠遠超過同期人口增長的32%，人均棄置量亦高於其他主要城市。
Deputy President the total volume of municipal solid waste MSW disposal in Hong Kong has increased by 68 % over the past 30 years far exceeding the population growth of 32 % over the same period and our per capita MSW disposal rate is also higher than that of other major cities
《條例草案》於去年7月原訂立法會會期終結前，已進行了兩年的審議工作，及後在現屆立法會延任後，重新成立法案委員會再度審議。
The Bill had been under scrutiny for two years before the end of the legislative session originally scheduled in July last year . Upon extension of the current term of the Legislative Council a bills committee was subsequently re - established to scrutinize the Bill again
在法案委員會上，不同委員皆清楚表達了各項關注點，亦提出了不同的質問。
Various members have expressed their points of concern clearly and raised different queries at the Bills Committee
政府最終亦採納了我認為是法案委員會最主要的意見，就是讓市民有18個月的適應期，而且政府亦答應會視乎實際執行情況，如果有需要，將會把過渡期再延長。
The Government has eventually adopted what I consider to be the major view of the Bills Committee and that is to allow a phasing - in period of 18 months for the public . In addition the Government has also agreed to depending on the actual implementation situation further extend the transitional period if necessary
因此，整體而言，我會支持《條例草案》。
Therefore I will support the Bill on the whole
在擬議新法例下，市民日後要拋棄家居固體廢物，就必須使用指定的垃圾袋包妥，才能夠棄置在垃圾車、垃圾收集站或指明桶箱。
Under the proposed new legislation members of the public will be required to wrap their domestic solid waste into designated garbage bags in the future before disposing of such waste in refuse collection vehicles refuse collection points or specified bins
這類指定垃圾袋將來可以在超級市場、便利店、油站和郵局購買，鄉郊地區亦會設置售賣機，方便市民購買。
These designated garbage bags will be available for sale at supermarkets convenience stores gas stations and post offices whereas vending machines will also be placed in rural areas to facilitate members of the public to purchase these bags
可以說，只要大家願意付費購買垃圾袋，也極為方便。
It can be said that it would be extremely convenient as long as people are willing to pay for these garbage bags
至於指定垃圾袋的收費，在實施首3年，政府估計一個三人家庭每月所需的費用介乎33元至51元，較大型而無法放入指定垃圾袋的垃圾，則需要貼上指定標籤，劃一收費11元。
Regarding the charge for these designated garbage bags the Government estimates that during the first three years of implementation a three - member household will have to pay a charge of 33 to 51 per month . For oversized waste that cannot be put into a designated garbage bag such waste is required to be affixed with a designated label and a uniform rate of 11 per piece will be charged
收費標準屬於高或低是見仁見智，所以更加需要提供足夠彈性，特別是當經濟不景時，會否加重了市民的財政壓力呢？
As it is a matter of opinion whether the fee levels are high or low it is all the more necessary to allow sufficient flexibility . During economic downturns in particular will it add to the financial pressure of the public?
政府回應了法案委員會的關注，在推出時會有兩項措施減少新法例帶來的衝擊。
The Government has addressed the concerns of the Bills Committee by introducing two measures to reduce the impact of the new legislation at the time of implementation
首先，政府會向綜合社會保障援助計劃受助人提供財政援助。
First the Government will provide financial assistance for the recipients of the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance CSSA Scheme
現時超過六成綜援受助人居於公屋，以一個三人家庭為例，每月約有30元的額外津貼額。
At present over 60 % of CSSA recipients are living in public rental housing PRH . For example a three - member household will receive an additional allowance of about 30 per month
其次，政府亦答應研究在過渡期向市民提供指定垃圾袋。
Second the Government has also agreed to consider providing designated garbage bags to the public during the transitional period
一般而言，現時部分公屋大廈及私人屋苑也有提供免費垃圾袋。
In general free garbage bags are currently provided in some PRH buildings and private housing estates
當新法例實施後，政府可以透過屋邨辦事處或管理公司，每個月在每幢大廈向居民發放一定數量的垃圾袋。
Upon implementation of the new legislation the Government can distribute a certain number of garbage bags to the residents at each building every month through the estate offices or management companies
不過，沒有管理公司和法團的大廈仍然是一個盲點，政府應該研究由民政事務署派員或組織義工團隊，關顧這類大廈居民的需要，從而關注"三無大廈"在執行新法例後的情況。
Yet buildings without management companies and owners corporations will remain a blind spot . The Government should consider having the Home Affairs Department sent staff or set up volunteer teams to take care of the needs of the residents of such buildings so as to keep an eye on the situation of these three - nil buildings after implementation of the new legislation
代理主席，《條例草案》的目標是透過徵費減少固體廢物。
Deputy President the Bill seeks to reduce solid waste through charging a fee
為了鼓勵市民減少棄置廢物，政府其實應該與管理公司或其他私人機構合作，採用獎勵方式，如果大家減少領用垃圾袋，便可獲回贈日用品，例如毛巾和衞生紙。
In order to encourage the public to reduce waste disposal in fact the Government should work with the management companies or other private organizations to provide incentives . For instance people who collect and use less garbage bags will be rewarded with daily necessities such as towels and toilet paper
如果在過渡期內同時推行減廢的獎勵辦法，其實是有助市民加快適應。
In fact the concurrent introduction of incentive measures for waste reduction during the transitional period will help the public to adapt more quickly
政府估計住宅樓宇、村屋、地鋪和公共機構收集到的指定垃圾袋，會佔每日棄置於堆填區的都市固體廢物大約八成。
The Government estimates that designated garbage bags collected from residential buildings village houses street - level shops and institutional premises will account for about 80 % of the daily MSW disposed of at landfills
在審議《條例草案》時，委員已關注到有可能出現在公眾地方非法棄置垃圾，以逃避徵費的情況，這種行為無疑會令整體減廢政策大打折扣。
During the scrutiny of the Bill members have expressed concern about the possibility of people illegally disposing of waste in public places in an attempt to evade the charge . There is no doubt that such behaviour will greatly undermine the overall waste reduction policy
政府曾經提出會根據物業管理公司及市民的情報及投訴，制訂"違法黑點"名單，但有這種名單出現，便已代表該等地方的衞生情況已經變差。
The Government has proposed to draw up a list of black spots based on the intelligence and complaints received from property management companies and the public . Nevertheless the presence of such a list already implies that the hygiene conditions of those places have deteriorated
其實，預防黑點出現才是治本的方法。
In fact preventing black spots from emerging should be the solution to cure the root of the problem
政府應該有足夠的人手編制加強執法。
The Government should have sufficient staffing to strengthen law enforcement
在人手方面，預計有196名非首長級人員支援，以及開設150個非公務員合約職位。
Speaking of manpower it is estimated that 196 non - directorate staff will be engaged in providing support whereas 150 non - civil service contract posts will be created
換言之，全港18區只有不足400個人手推行計劃，可想而知，當中可"落手落腳"，最終進行巡查的人手，我相信會更少。
In other words only less than 400 officers will be involved in implementing the scheme in the 18 districts across Hong Kong . Therefore it can be imagined that the number of staff who will actually do the work and eventually conduct inspections would in my opinion be even smaller
希望政府將來向立法會匯報進展的時候，可以讓我們看到有足夠的巡查和執法。
I hope the Government can show us that sufficient inspections and law enforcement actions have been taken when it reports the work progress to the Legislative Council in the future
其實，政府應積極利用科技配合，例如我們經常建議加裝攝錄機，24小時監察非法棄置垃圾的情況，這亦可配合"智慧城市"的發展方向。
In fact the Government should take the initiative to make use of technology . For instance we have constantly proposed the installation of video cameras to monitor fly - tipping round the clock . This can also complement the direction of development into a smart city
透過收集、分析廢物處置及回收的大數據，亦可以更快地到位解決執法和及時清理棄置垃圾的問題。
By collecting and analysing the big data of waste disposal and recycling the problems with law enforcement and timely removal of waste can also be properly solved in a more expeditious manner
代理主席，垃圾徵費只是其中一個減廢的方法，減少垃圾棄置量、增加回收意欲，才是真正的出路。
Deputy President waste charging is only one of the ways to achieve waste reduction . The real way out should be reducing the waste disposal volume and enhancing the inclination for recycling
以南韓首爾市為例，1995年推行廢物按量收費及其他的配套措施後，回收率在15年內由29%上升至66%。
Take Seoul in South Korea as an example the recycling rate rose from 29 % to 66 % in 15 years after quantity - based waste charging and other complementary measures were introduced in 1995
在1994年至2011年間，人均家庭垃圾棄置量亦從每日1.3公斤降至0.34公斤，減幅達74%。
Between 1994 and 2011 the per capita household waste disposal rate also dropped from 1.3 kg per day to 0.34 kg per day registering a decrease of 74 %
現時，香港的廢物回收情況仍有很大改善空間。
At present there is still plenty of room for improvement in respect of waste recycling in Hong Kong
舉例來說，日、韓等國家可回收垃圾的分類標準比較細緻及嚴格，塑膠飲品瓶必須將包裝上的商標貼紙撕掉，才可掉進塑料垃圾收集箱；牛奶盒亦需要清洗乾淨並壓平後，才能丟進紙類回收箱。
For instance there are more detailed and stringent standards for separation of recyclable waste in countries such as Japan and Korea . Trademark labels on the packaging of plastic beverage bottles must be removed before they can be put into plastic waste collection bins; whereas milk cartons must be rinsed and flattened before they can be thrown into waste paper collection bins for recycling
希望在推出這項新法例的同時，政府當局能夠加強公眾教育，讓大眾將垃圾準確分類。
I hope the Administration will step up public education in tandem with the introduction of this new legislation to enable members of the public to separate waste accurately
廚餘亦是固體廢物的來源之一。
Food waste is a source of solid waste as well
現時棄置於堆填區的固體廢物約有三成為廚餘，政府雖然已推行廚餘收集先導計劃，將廚餘轉化為能源；而"惜食香港運動"也提倡從源頭減廢及捐贈食物等，但如何更有效運用廚餘，可參考其他地方的做法。
At present food waste accounts for about 30 % of the solid waste disposed of at landfills . Although the Government has implemented the Pilot Scheme on Food Waste Collection in a bid to convert food waste into energy whereas the Food Wise Hong Kong Campaign also advocates waste reduction at source and donation of food etc reference should be drawn from the practices of other places regarding how to make use of food waste in a more effective manner
上海市政府將廚餘轉化為有機肥料，再用於種植蔬果分發到居民區，既能回收廚餘又能進行環保教育工作；同時，上海亦開放廚餘處理中心作為環保體驗中心，讓市民親身觀察廚餘如何轉廢為寶。
The Shanghai Municipal Government turns food waste into organic fertilizer which is then used to grow vegetables and fruits for distribution to residential areas through which recycling of food waste and environmental protection education can be pursued concurrently . At the same time Shanghai has also made open its food waste treatment centre to serve as an environmental protection experience centre thereby enabling the public to observe with their eyes how food waste is turned into resources
代理主席，這項條例只是解決固體廢物的收費問題，但對於香港的固體廢物處理政策，似乎仍需要一個更仔細的藍圖，才能鼓勵全港市民合力減少耗損地球資源。
Deputy President this ordinance will only address the issue related to solid waste charging but it appears that a more detailed blueprint on Hong Kongs policy in respect of solid waste management is still needed with a view to encouraging all Hong Kong people to make concerted efforts in consuming less of the earths resources
全體委員會已完成審議《2021年法律執業者條例草案》的所有程序。
All the proceedings on the Legal Practitioners Amendment Bill 2021 have been concluded in committee of the whole Council
廢鉛酸蓄電池如處理不當，當中的有害物質可能危害人體健康及污染環境。
If waste lead - acid storage batteries are not disposed of properly the hazardous substances therein may threaten human health and contaminate the environment
故此，廢電池的收集、運輸、處置及出入口受法例監管。
As such the collection transportation disposal as well as import and export of waste batteries are regulated by the law
據報，2018年本港廢電池的產生量和出口量分別為38000及2100公噸。
It has been reported that in 2018 the quantities of waste batteries generated in and exported from Hong Kong were 38 000 and 2 100 tonnes respectively
另一方面，全港唯一並於2019年9月投產的廢電池回收中心每年回收到不足1000公噸的廢電池。
On the other hand the only waste battery recycling centre in Hong Kong which commenced operation in September 2019 recovered less than 1 000 tonnes of waste batteries each year
該等數字令人關注，大部分廢電池可能被非法處置。
Such figures have aroused the concern that the majority of waste batteries might have been disposed of illegally
就此，政府可否告知本會：一過去3年，每年本港廢電池的產生量，並按其處置方式列出分項數字； 二過去3年，每年分別有多少人因非法收集、處置和出口廢電池而被檢控，以及被定罪者受到的懲罰；有何措施加強打擊該等罪行；及三鑒於廢電池的循環再用率可超過百分之八十，政府有何新措施鼓勵相關業界把廢電池送往回收中心作循環再用？
In this connection will the Government inform this Council 1 of the quantity of waste batteries generated in Hong Kong in each of the past three years with a breakdown by their disposal methods; 2 of the respective numbers of persons prosecuted in each of the past three years for illegal collection disposal and export of waste batteries as well as the penalties imposed on those convicted; the measures in place to step up efforts in combating such offences; and 3 given that the reuse rate of waste batteries may exceed 80 % of the Governments new measures to encourage the relevant trades to send waste batteries to the recycling centre for reuse?
主席，局長的主體答覆表示，根據他們的評估，香港每年產生大概7000至8000公噸廢鉛酸電池，但我手上拿着與國際相比的研究報告，指香港應該大概有38000公噸，這數字有很大的差異。
President the Secretarys main reply states that according to their assessment about 7 000 to 8 000 tonnes of waste lead - acid batteries are produced in Hong Kong each year . However the study report I have in hand with comparisons with other places in the world indicates that the amount in Hong Kong should be about 38 000 tonnes . This figure carries a big difference
這份研究報告有一項備註寫着，因為環境局沒有收集這些數據，所以不能夠提供數字。
In this study report there is a remark that figures are not available as the Environment Bureau does not collect such data
我很高興政府在答覆中承認香港有出現非法收集和出口廢鉛酸電池的活動，但政府沒有告訴市民為何會發生這些問題。
I am glad that the Government has admitted in its reply that there are illegal collection and export of waste lead - acid batteries in Hong Kong but it did not tell the public why such problems have occurred
其實問題很簡單，就是"錢作怪"。
Actually the question is very simple that is it is all about money
如果局長記得，我多年前曾對他說，香港必須處理汽車廢電池和廢膠輪的工作，回收再造是必須進行的。
The Secretary may recall that some years ago I told him that Hong Kong must deal with waste vehicle batteries and waste rubber tyres . Recycling was a must
當時他回答我，現時政府有一個先後次序的問題，要先處理固體廢物徵費。
At that time he replied to me that the Government currently had a priority issue . It had to deal with solid waste charging first
今日稍後這項條例草案應該會通過，我不知局長下一步驟的工作是否會推行生產者責任制的理念，利用徵費來幫助合法的回收商在市場收集廢電池，然後再作出合法的處理？
This Bill is likely to be passed later today . I wonder if the Secretarys next step is to implement the concept of the producer responsibility scheme and use the levy to help legitimate recyclers to collect waste batteries in the market and then dispose of them legally
我相信這也是刻不容緩的，加上現時電動車越來越多，面對的問題更加複雜，因為它的毒性更高。
I believe this brooks no delay either . In addition the increasing number of electric vehicles EVs nowadays has made the problem even more complicated because of their higher toxicity
我不知政府有否計劃現時開始部署這方面的工作。
I wonder if the Government has any plan to start mapping out the work in this regard now
因為它有機會着火。
This is in fact rather dangerous . Why? . Because it may catch fire
所以，不要因為捉不到這些非法運輸，便當它不存在，我想告訴局長，這的而且確是存在的。
So please do not take that illegal shipment does not exist just because no such case has been caught . I would like to tell the Secretary that it does exist
回到我的補充質詢，我之前曾與局長研究過，亦詢問了相關業界，廢電池和廢膠輪的徵費究竟是否可行呢？
Back to my supplementary question . Earlier on I have studied with the Secretary and asked the relevant industry whether the charging for waste batteries and waste rubber tyres is feasible
粗略估計，對車主來說，每年可能只是二三百元的費用，便已經可以有適當的徵費來協助回收再造商把這些廢物轉廢為能，可以回收。
As a rough estimate to vehicle owners it may only cost 200 to 300 a year which can serve as an appropriate levy to assist recyclers in recycling and turning waste into energy
反而現在我們真的一定要關注的是，日後電動車的電池毒性是非常厲害的，有關工作必須馬上進行，因為此事已經開始了。
Actually what we really must be concerned about now is the severe toxicity of EV batteries in the future . The relevant work must be carried out immediately because the issue has already emerged
局長每次都告訴我有合法回收商，卻又掌握不到實際回收了多少，有多少到哪裏去了。
The Secretary always tells me that there are legitimate recyclers but he fails to grasp the actual quantity recovered and how many have gone to which places
我相信政府在這方面的執法是有力的。
I believe the Governments enforcement in this regard is effective
關於如何支援業界回收這些棄置的廢電池，這方面是設有基金的，其實已做得相當完善。
Concerning how to support the industry in recycling discarded waste batteries the Fund has been set up for this purpose which is in fact quite comprehensive
不過，回收基金對廢電池回收商的支援，僅僅合共批出860萬元。
However the total amount granted under the Fund to support waste battery recyclers is only 8.6 million
回收基金最高可以申請1,500萬元，但只批出860萬元，我不知道這只是支援一間公司，還是數間公司？
The maximum amount that can be applied for under the Fund is 15 million but only 8.6 million has been granted . I do not know whether it is for supporting a single company or several ones
如果是支援數間公司，更顯得回收基金無法發揮作用。
If it is for supporting several companies it is even more obvious that the Fund has failed to serve its purpose
所以，我想在此請問局長，在支援業界回收棄置廢電池的工作上，究竟現時回收基金可以做到多少更好的工作？
Therefore here I would like to ask the Secretary how much more can be done by the present Fund to better support the industry in recycling discarded waste batteries
本會恢復《2021年法律執業者條例草案》的二讀辯論。
This Council resumes the Second Reading debate on the Legal Practitioners Amendment Bill 2021
法案委員會主席容海恩議員先就委員會報告，向本會發言。
Ms YUNG Hoi - yan Chairman of the Bills Committee on the Bill will first address the Council on the Bills Committees Report
代理主席，香港法律執業者制度源自英國，主要分為大律師和律師兩個專業類別，前者專長於出庭訟辯，後者則提供廣泛的法律服務。
Deputy President the regime of legal practitioners in Hong Kong originates from the United Kingdom . There are mainly two professional categories barristers and solicitors . The former specializes in advocacy in courts whereas the latter provides a wide range of legal services
當中具備一定資歷、知識和聲望的大律師，在回歸前可獲委任為御用大律師，回歸後則改稱為資深大律師。
Barristers who possess certain qualifications knowledge and standing might be appointed as Queens Counsel before the handover of sovereignty and were retitled as Senior Counsel SC after the return of sovereignty
