就這個問題，我有到訪那些"假難民"原本所屬國家的駐港領事館，我亦到訪中國外交部駐港特派員公署，尋求解決方法。
In respect of this issue I have visited the consulates of the countries of origin of these bogus refugees in Hong Kong and the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong in order to find a solution
當然，我們也到過保安局多次。
Of course we have also been to the Security Bureau many times
而這批非法入境者就是濫用此條文，踏入香港後便立即提出酷刑聲請，這樣我們便要提供法律援助、生活津貼。
These illegal entrants are precisely abusing this article . As soon as they set foot on Hong Kong they lodge torture claims and then we have to provide them with legal assistance and living allowance
在"一國兩制"下，同樣都是一國，但澳門並沒有香港如此嚴重的問題。
It also said that under one country two systems Macao which is also under one country does not have such a serious problem as in Hong Kong
公安廳更認為他們都受到這個問題影響，因為那些人認為香港"好食好住"，所以便冒着生命危險從廣東省過來。
The Public Security Bureau thinks that it is also being affected by this problem because these people risk their lives to come to Hong Kong via the Guangdong Province under the impression that they can have better food and accommodation in Hong Kong
所以，我希望局長聽到，我亦希望無須在此重複，便是請他們不要""做，要正視問題，在"假難民"的問題上，要從根源出發。
I thus hope that the Secretary can hear my view so that I do not need to repeat it here . I would ask them not to take the problem lightly but face it squarely and resolve the problem of bogus refugees from the root
我希望局長會痛定思痛，在今屆解決問題。
I hope that the Secretary can draw a lesson from the bitter experience and resolve the problem within this term
事實上，提出免遣返聲請的人士滯留香港，是因為他們的難民身份仍在審核，未獲確認，我們不知道他們究竟是否真難民。
In fact non - refoulement claimants are stranded in Hong Kong because their refugee status is still being verified and unconfirmed . We do not know whether they are genuine refugees or not
傳媒和政黨動輒使用"假難民"一詞，很容易造成負面標籤，對真正有需要的難民，以至在香港土生土長的南亞裔人士也造成負面影響。
The indiscriminate use of bogus refugees by the media and political parties can easily result in a negative labelling effect . It will also leave a negative impact on refugees with a genuine need or even home - grown South Asians
在座多位議員是律師，他們應該明白不應該未審先判，把在香港提出免遣返聲請的人士說成是"假難民"。
Many Members here in the Chamber are lawyers . They should know that no judgment should be passed before a trial . The non - refoulement claimants should not be referred to as bogus refugees
大家應深切反思。
We should reflect deeply on this
這證明了現時的免遣返聲請機制存在很多漏洞，也有不足之處，容易被部分有心人濫用，讓他們有機會在香港從事非法活動，賺取金錢。
This proves that there are a lot of loopholes and inadequacies in the existing mechanism for non - refoulement claim . It can be easily abused by people with ill intention giving them the opportunity to engage in illegal activities in Hong Kong to make money
同時，我們亦要集中資源，幫助真正有需要的人士。
Meanwhile we also have to focus resources on helping those who are really in need
今天，媒體大量報道與聲請者有關的新聞，當中以負面居多，例如搶劫、街頭打鬥或"黑工"等，將他們塑造成十惡不赦的壞人。
Nowadays the media are widely covering news relating to the claimants . Most of the reports are negative for example robberies street fights or illegal workers portraying them as heinous villains
因此，我同意張超雄議員的修正案。
So I agree with Dr Fernando CHEUNGs amendment
社會認為我們不能無止境供養聲請者，不應該在機制被濫用的情況下同情他們。
Society is against providing the claimants with endless support and extending sympathy to them when the mechanism is being abused
我們能否改善審核機制呢？
Can we improve the vetting and approval mechanism?
香港自稱是一個國際都會，應負起捍衞人權的國際責任。
Hong Kong claims to be a cosmopolitan city . We should assume the international responsibility of defending human rights
社會和政府要共同努力解決這個問題，不應盲目或冷漠地稱聲請者為"假難民"。
Society and the Government have to make concerted efforts to solve this problem . We should not blindly or indifferently refer to the claimants as bogus refugees
"打擊'假難民'"的議案辯論。
The motion debate on Combating bogus refugees
主席，"假難民"問題已困擾香港一段很長時間。
President the problem of bogus refugees has been troubling Hong Kong for a very long time
"假難民"其實是一些刻意濫用目前免遣返聲請制度的人士，他們留在香港"打黑工"，或甚至作奸犯科。
Bogus refugees are people who intentionally exploit the existing system for lodging non - refoulement claims . They stay in Hong Kong taking up illegal employment or even committing crimes
縱容"假難民"不單會養肥"蛇頭"，並會陷那些真正被迫害的聲請者於不義，更會陷那些守法及無辜的本地少數族裔於不義，令他們無緣無故因這些"假難民"而被錯誤標籤。
Conniving at bogus refugees will not only fatten human traffickers but also result in unfair treatment to those claimants who are genuinely subject to persecution risk . This is also unfair to the law - abiding and innocent ethnic minorities in Hong Kong as they are wrongfully labelled without reason because of these bogus refugees
真正受迫害的聲請者，包括因戰亂而受酷刑對待的人士，亦因"假難民"擠滿現時輪候免遣返聲請的隊伍，結果導致他們唯有等待，甚至不獲足夠的支援。
That a large number of bogus refugees have crowded the queue for non - refoulement protection means longer waiting time for claimants at genuine risk of persecution including those tortured because of war and they are also deprived of adequate support as a consequence
主席，過去我與同事葛珮帆議員亦曾親身探訪一些真正受酷刑迫害的聲請者，而他們的聲請亦獲確認，我們當然非常體恤他們的狀況，而且他們亦強調，目前在香港濫用這項聲請機制的人實在太多，嚴重影響他們。
President my colleague Dr Elizabeth QUAT and I have visited some genuine torture claimants . We of course are sympathetic with their situation yet they emphasize that they are seriously affected by the large number of people abusing the system
就目前的免遣返聲請機制，我們察悉存在數大問題。
We have identified a few major problems in the existing mechanism for non - refoulement claims
第一個問題是，不少聲請人士來港後遲遲不提出聲請，反而在一些反"黑工"或打擊罪案的行動中被拘捕時才提出免遣返聲請。
First many claimants do not lodge any non - refoulement claim even after they have stayed in Hong Kong for a long time yet they will do so once they are arrested in the course of law enforcement operations against illegal employment or criminal activities . A case brought to the Court of Final Appeal in 2014 serves as a reminder to us
2014年一宗終審法院案件提醒了我們，雖然當日案件的判詞並非今天談論的主題，但其案情非常具啟發性，事主已有多次逾期居留紀錄並被判監禁，在他被監禁5個月出來後，突然提出聲請，希望留在香港。
Though the judgment of the case at that time is not the subject of our current discussion it demonstrates the effect on our present situation . The person concerned was sentenced many times for imprisonment for overstaying in Hong Kong . Upon his release after a five - month imprisonment he suddenly lodged a claim seeking to stay in Hong Kong
事實上，根據眾多地區的區議員同事的觀察，這類濫用機制的個案比比皆是。
In fact many fellow District Council members in numerous districts have noticed this kind of abuse cases
第二個問題，聲請人應在審核過程中盡量合作，以便盡快獲其他國家收容的資格。
Second claimants should be as cooperative as possible during screening so that they can receive asylum in other countries as soon as possible
可是，有不少人士千方百計拖延審核程序，例如以不同理由取消與律師會面，包括裝病，令入境事務處無法進行審視，變相令他們能繼續滯留香港。
However many of them have exploited every means to prolong the screening procedures such as cancelling meetings with lawyers for different reasons including pretending to be ill so that the Immigration Department cannot carry out any screening rendering them able to go on staying in Hong Kong
根據《東方日報》報道，香港現時積壓的聲請個案，已升至超過1萬宗，而用於處理聲請的公帑開支，亦由每年數億元上升至今年10多億元。
The Oriental Daily News reports that there is a backlog of over 10 000 cases in Hong Kong pending processing and the amount of public money spent on such claims has risen from several hundred million dollars each year in the past to over one billion dollars this year
第三個問題是，不少聲請者在留港期間參與刑事罪行，例如偷竊、當"黑工"、製毒、犯毒、毆鬥，甚至強姦和非禮。
Third many claimants have commit crimes during their stay in Hong Kong such as stealing illegal employment drug manufacturing drug related crimes affray or even rape and indecent assault
根據警方的數 字，涉及這些聲請人的犯案數字，已由2011年的632宗增至2015年的1,152宗，數字在5年間升了1倍；今年上半年亦有多達641名聲請人因觸犯刑事罪行而被捕，比去年同期亦增加了三成。
Figures from the Police indicate that the number of crimes involving these claimants doubled from 632 in 2011 to 1 152 in 2015 in five years; as many as 641 claimants were arrested for criminal offence in the early half of this year representing an increase of 30 % from the same period last year
第四個問題是，香港人與居住在香港的少數族裔的生活受到滋擾。
Fourth the problem has disturbed the daily life of Hong Kong people and ethnic minorities residing in Hong Kong
上述種種問題已令市民感到嚴重不安。
This is grossly unfair to them . The various problems above have caused great concern among the people
如果我們的公共資源並非投放於幫助真正受酷刑迫害的聲請人，而是幫助那些來港當"黑工"、"搵快錢"或犯法的"假難民"，造成治安問題，我們該如何應對呢？
If our public resources are not deployed on helping those claimants who are really suffering from torture but on supporting those bogus refugees who have disturbed law and order by engaging in illegal employment making quick money or committing offences how are we going to address this?
所以，主席，我們亦提出了一些意見，要求檢視我們現行的統一審核機制。
So President we have also offered some recommendations to request a review on the existing unified screening mechanism
民建聯過去已不斷向保安局提出這方面的關注和要求，防止"假難民"濫用我們這項機制。
The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong has long been arousing concerns and making requests to the Security Bureau against the abuses of the system by bogus refugees
儘管有個別團體扭曲我們的動機，詆毀我們，指我們挑動港人歧視少數族裔，其實這些全是詆毀及"老屈"之詞。
Certain groups have distorted our motives and accused that we are provoking Hong Kong people to discriminate against ethnic minorities . In fact such remarks are totally groundless and unjustified
我們打擊濫用機制的"假難民"，正正就是要為那些無辜受到錯誤標籤的本地少數族裔討回公道，亦是為那些真正受到迫害的聲請人士討回公道。
The combat against bogus refugees abusing the system is done exactly with an aim to get justice for the innocent ethnic minorities in Hong Kong who are wrongfully labelled . We do it also for claimants genuinely put under persecution
我想說，我們看到傳媒報道，得知社會某些實況，進而要求政府關注及跟進問題，實在是正常不過，而這亦正正是傳媒及議會應當發揮的監察作用。
I want to respond that it is absolutely right for us to demand the Governments attention and follow - up on a problem related to certain facts that we learn from the media . This also demonstrates how the media and the legislature should fulfil their monitoring duties . President some groups or individuals do not believe these media reports and they consider that the rights of claimants do not receive proper care
主席，退一萬步而言，即使有組織或有人不相信這些報道，只認為聲請人的權益未被妥善照顧，但如果我們不檢討現行機制，堵塞漏洞的話，現時積壓過萬宗的聲請個案根本無法解決，而個案數目只會不斷增加，令真正被迫害的聲請人滯留在港，得不到真正的保障，對他們或港人毫無好處。
Even though I make a compromise in this respect and accede to such remarks but we simply cannot resolve the backlog of over 10 000 cases if we do not review the current system and plug the loopholes . As a result the number of cases will only go up incessantly denying true protection to genuine claimants at risk of persecution . This will not offer any help to them or to the people of Hong Kong
在探討"假難民"問題時，我們發現統一審核機制出現了一個"三無"問題，便是"無時間限制"、"無金錢限制"及"無活動限制"，以致產生了現在的弊端。
In the course of our study of the bogus refugees problem we notice a three - nos problem in the unified screening mechanism namely no time limit no money limit and no restriction on the claimants movements . These have brought forth the problems at present
主席，所謂"無時間限制"，是指何時提出聲 請也可以。
President by no time limit I mean that they can lodge a claim anytime
"假難民"根本不符合聲請資格，如果我們要求他們盡早提出聲請，提交受到酷刑或不人道對待等證據，便可越早揭發他們不符合資格的事實。
Bogus refugees simply are not qualified to lodge a claim but if we require them to lodge their claims as early as possible and ask them to prove the alleged torture or inhuman treatment then we can expose as early as possible the fact that they are not qualified at all
所以，我們認為，如果要堵塞漏洞，必須要規定提出聲請的法定時限。
So we believe that we must set a statutory time limit for lodging non - refoulement claims in order to close the loopholes
"無金錢限制"是指，"假難民"在沒有任何成本的情況下，不斷拖延審核程序，總之不讓當局審核其資格。
No money limit refers to the attempts of bogus refugees to endlessly prolong the screening procedures as it costs them nothing to do so . In short they do not want to go through screening
但是，我們現時花在他們身上的公帑法律支援不斷上升，由2013-2014年度的7,600萬元，上升至2016-2017年度的1億7,800萬元預算公帑開支。
However the expenses on publicly - funded legal assistance spent on them have been rising from 76 million in 2013 - 2014 to the estimated amount of 178 million in 2016 - 2017
為堵塞這些漏洞，我們認為應參考外國的做法，設定公費法律支援的上限，以合理的公共資源幫助真正有需要的聲請人。
To plug the loopholes we consider that we should draw reference from overseas practices and cap a limit on publicly - funded legal assistance while deploying reasonable public resources to help those claimants truly in need
主席，英國相關的法律公費上限設在大約港幣8,000元，為確保資源得到良好運用，我們認為應加速處理程序。
President the relevant cap on publicly - funded legal assistance in the United Kingdom is set at around HK8,000 . To ensure proper use of resources we should speed up the screening procedures
最後是"無活動限制"，這是最擾民的，因為很多聲請人拿着"行街紙"做甚麼也可以，甚至可以犯罪，似乎無從監管。
Finally it is most disturbing to local communities that the claimants are not restricted on their movements . Many claimants can effectively do anything holding a going - out pass . They can even commit crimes as if there is no regulation in place
因此，我們建議政府考慮設立收容中心，令"假難民"無法外出工作或犯罪，切斷他們來港的經濟誘因。
Therefore we suggest the Government to consider setting up holding centres so that no bogus refugee can work or commit any offence outside . This can also contribute to remove the economic incentives for them to come to Hong Kong
我相信這個方式能夠減少"假難民"在社區滋擾市民的機會。
In my opinion such an arrangement makes it less likely for bogus refugees to disturb our communities
主席，我知道要堵塞上述漏洞，我們需要做很多工作，但"假難民"是一個大問題，我希望大家能夠同心協力，為香港人建設一個安全的社會，減少濫用聲請的機會，集中資源幫助真正有需要的聲請人的意願，亦還本地守法的少數族裔一個公道，請大家支持我的議案。
President I understand that much work is needed before we can tighten the loopholes above . But bogus refugees have created such a big problem that I hope we can joint force to create a safe society for Hong Kong people and reduce the room for abusing the system for lodging non - refoulement claims so as to focus our resources on satisfying the aspirations of genuine claimants as well as to give justice the law - abiding ethnic minorities in Hong Kong . Please support my motion
我會依次請要動議修正案的何啟明議員、毛孟靜議員、容海恩議員、潘兆平議員、梁美芬議員、張超雄議員及涂謹申議員發言；但他們在現階段不可動議修正案。
I will call upon Members who move the amendments to speak in the following order Mr HO Kai - ming Ms Claudia MO Ms YUNG Hoi - yan Mr POON Siu - ping Dr Priscilla LEUNG Dr Fernando CHEUNG and Mr James TO; but they may not move the amendments at this stage
主席，民主黨的胡志偉議員原本要求提出這項緊急質詢，但不獲你批准。
President Mr WU Chi - wai of the Democratic Party originally intended to ask this urgent question but you did not approve
主席，《基本法》第一百零四條規定︰"香港特別行政區行政長官、主要官員、行政會議成員、立法會議員、各級法院法官和其他司法人員在就職時必須依法宣誓擁護中華人民共和國香港特別行政區基本法，效忠中華人民共和國香港特別行政區。
President Article 104 of the Basic Law provides that [w]hen assuming office the Chief Executive principal officials members of the Executive Council and of the Legislative Council judges of the courts at all levels and other members of the judiciary in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR must in accordance with law swear to uphold the Basic Law of HKSAR of the Peoples Republic of China PRC and swear allegiance to HKSAR of PRC
" 全國人大常委會於11月7日就《基本法》第一百零四條作出解釋。
On 7 November the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC adopted the interpretation of Article 104 of the Basic Law
主席，如果議員已完成了《基本法》第一百零四條的法定程序，他們其後在每一次立法會大會上所發表的言論，以及在辯論中提出的論點，當然繼續受《基本法》及相關的本地法例，特別是《立法會條例》及《議事規則》規管。
President if Members have completed the statutory procedure under Article 104 of the Basic Law BL the speech they make at each Legislative Council meeting and the arguments they present during debates will as matter of course continue to be governed by BL and the relevant local legislation in particular the Legislative Council Ordinance and the Rules of Procedure
主席，前立法會主席曾鈺成在11月發表了一篇題為"庸人自擾"的文章，清楚指出提出雙重效忠的人是搞錯了對象，亦搞錯了概念。
President the former Legislative Council President Jasper TSANG wrote an article in November entitled Much Ado About Nothing庸人自擾 . He pointed out clearly that those who forge the notion of double allegiance have gone after the wrong target and mixed up their concept
我認為有些人過去長期企圖以"兩制"頂着"一國"。
In my opinion some people have long in the past tried to challenge one country with two systems
既然是"一國兩制"，當然是先有"一國"才有"兩制"。
Since it is one country two systems one country should of course come before two systems
李慧琼議員的補充質詢是有關《基本法》的推廣。
Ms Starry LEEs supplementary question is about the promotion of BL
主席，我很少認同毛孟靜議員的言論，但我也覺得局長剛才沒有好好作答。
President I seldom agree with Ms Claudia MOs comments but I also think that the Secretary has not answered properly
主席，第一，就陳克勤議員問及的個案，上訴法庭今天已有判決，明天還會聽取有關上訴至終審法院的許可申請。
President first regarding the case mentioned by Mr CHAN Hak - kan the Court of Appeal has handed down a judgment today . Tomorrow the Court will hear the application for leave to take the appeal to the Final Court of Appeal
根據我們一般的立場，在司法程序完成前，我們不會對個案作進一步評論。
It is our normal stance that we will not comment further on the case before the judicial proceedings are over
主席，第一，我在作出主體答覆時是十分小心，希望羅議員也留意。
President first I was very careful when I made the main reply . I wish Mr LAW would also pay attention
有關的宣誓內容主要涉及兩方面，一方面是擁護《基本法》，另一方面是效忠中華人民共和國香港特別行政區。
The oath content mainly involves two aspects one of which is to uphold BL and the other is to swear allegiance to HKSAR of PRC
我在主體答覆亦指出，宣誓內容並沒有因為《解釋》而有所修改。
I also pointed out in the main reply that the oath content has not changed as a result of the Interpretation
我在主體答覆第一和二部分特別強調，《解釋》的第三條並沒有改變《基本法》第一百零四條所規定的宣誓內容。
I have particularly emphasized in parts 1 and 2 of the main reply that Article 3 of the Interpretation has not changed the oath content under Article 104 of BL
至於尹議員問及關於主席的國籍，我們當然不會在質詢環節評論個人情況。
Regarding Mr WANs enquiry on the Presidents nationality of course we will not comment on individual situation during the question and answer session
局長說《解釋》的第三條說明相關公職人員是對中華人民共和國及其香港特別行政區作出法律承諾。
According to the Secretary Article 3 of the Interpretation explains that relevant public officers are making a legal pledge to PRC and its HKSAR
主席，我要強調，經徵詢律政司意見後，我們的看法是《解釋》的第三條沒有改變《基本法》第一百零四條所規 定的宣誓內容。
President I have to emphasize that upon consulting the Department of Justice DoJ we hold that Article 3 of the Interpretation has not changed the oath content stipulated under Article 104 of BL
我在主體答覆第一部分提到，宣誓內容的第一部分是擁護《基本法》。
I mentioned in part 1 of the main reply that the first part of the oath content concerns upholding BL
讓我再三強調，《基本法》第一百零四條的宣誓內容本身，包括擁護《基本法》及效忠中華人民共和國香港特別行政區的內容並沒有改變。
Let me stress again that the oath content per se under Article 104 of BL has not changed . The oath content encompasses upholding BL and swearing allegiance to HKSAR of PRC
此外，我們亦更清楚知道人大常委會的釋法及《基本法》在"一國兩制"之下的法律地位。
Moreover we also have a clearer understanding of the legal status of the NPCSC Interpretation and BL under one country two systems
我相信這能有助市民日後進一步認識《基本法》。
I believe this can help the public further understand BL in future
有創新科技業人士向本人反映，由於地政總署過於狹窄地詮釋工業大廈地契中"工業用途"的定義，所以工廈單位業主因擔心違反地契而拒絕向他們出租工廈單位。
Some members of the innovation and technology IT industry have relayed to me that since the Lands Department LandsD interprets the definition of industrial use in the land leases of industrial buildings too narrowly owners of industrial building units have refused to lease the units to them lest the land leases may be breached
地政總署採用的"工業用途"定義跟隨上世紀60年代制定的《工廠及工業經營條例》中"工廠"的定義，即是指任何處所或地方，而在其內是進行物品的製造、更改、清洗、修理、裝飾、精加工、出售前改裝、搗碎或拆除，或在其內是進行物料改變。
The definition of industrial use adopted by LandsD follows the definition of factory under the Factories and Industrial Undertakings Ordinance enacted in the sixties of the last century which refers to any premises or place in which articles are manufactured altered cleansed repaired ornamented finished adapted for sale broken up or demolished or in which materials are transformed
儘管城市規劃委員會用以詮釋法定圖則所用規劃詞彙中，"工業用途"的定義與地政總署採用的大致相同，但城規會曾經多次修訂該定義，以涵蓋研究、設計及發展等工序。
Notwithstanding that the definition of industrial use among the planning terms used by the Town Planning Board TPB in interpreting statutory plans is broadly in line with that adopted by LandsD TPB has amended the definition for many times to cover processes such as research design and development
此外，城規會已擴大"工業"地帶內所准許的用途範圍，容許工業地帶內的樓宇作"工業用途"定義以外的用途。
Moreover TPB has widened the scope of uses that are permitted under the industrial zone so that uses falling outside the definition of industrial uses are allowed in buildings in the industrial zone
在逐一回應吳議員的質詢之前，我希望先指出，法定城市規劃與土地契約行政是兩套不同的制度，讓我解釋兩者有何不同之處。
Before responding to his question part by part I wish to first point out that the statutory town planning and land lease administration are two different systems . Let me explain the differences between them
法定圖則讓公眾和持份者知悉個別用途地帶的規劃意向，以及在該等地帶內進行個別發展或非發展項目是否需要申請規劃許可。
Statutory plans enable the general public and stakeholders to understand the planning intention of particular land use zonings and whether application for planning permission is required for certain development or non - development projects
有關法定圖則所訂明的用途和要求，反映該圖則內的最新規劃意向，並涉及較廣泛地區規劃層面的法定管制，亦會隨法定圖則或規劃定義修訂而改變。
The uses and requirements stated in the statutory plans reflect the latest planning intention of the plans and the statutory planning control in broader areas and would be subject to changes in accordance with the amendment of statutory plans or planning definitions
政府售賣土地時，會參考相關分區計劃大綱圖制訂該地段的地契用途。
When putting up land for sale the Government will work out the uses of the lots to be specified in the leases by reference to the applicable outline zoning plans
如果地契訂立當時，有關的土地已納入當時適用的法定圖則，該地契的用途條款無須、亦不一定涵蓋相關法定圖則下該地段所屬用途地帶所容許的所 有用途，但基本原則是地契訂明的用途不能夠抵觸法定圖則，而一經雙方簽立，有關地契的用途條款並不會隨法定規劃修訂而自動改變，亦必須根據適用於合約詮釋並經確立的法律原則作出解釋。
If the land has been included in the statutory plan applicable at the time when the land lease is entered into the user clauses in the lease need not and do not necessarily cover all the uses permitted in the land use zone of the lot under the relevant statutory plan . But the basic principle is that the user clauses stipulated in the lease cannot contravene the statutory plan . Once the lease is executed by both parties the user clauses therein will not automatically change with the amendments to the statutory plan; and they must be construed according to established legal principles governing the applied contracts
因此，地契條款訂立後相關契約條款不會、亦不能隨着城規條例詞彙定義的演變而自動作出相應的調整。
As a result the relevant clauses in the lease will not and cannot automatically change with the amendments to the definition of terms in the Town Planning Ordinance once the lease is executed
但是，在推售新用地時，地政總署會適當考慮相關用途是否會因為社會的演變而出現了變化，須作出相應的調整。
When putting up land for sale however LandsD will consider whether the uses of the lots have to be adjusted in response to the changing social circumstances
例如近年售出的兩幅位於葵涌的工業用地，其地契條款除了准許作工業及倉庫外，亦加入了其他可容許的用途，例如直接支援工業營運的辦公室、資訊科技及電訊業、研究、設計及發展中心、實驗室、檢查及測試中心等。
For example the two industrial sites in Kwai Chung sold in recent years the lease conditions of which not only permit industrial and godown uses but also incorporate other permitted uses such as office in direct support of an industrial operation; information technology and telecommunications industries; research design and development centres; and laboratory inspection and testing centres etc
如果法定圖則下個別私人地段所屬的用途地帶有所修訂，相關私人地段業主可以向地政總署申請修訂地契或申請短期豁免書，以改變該地段地契下可以容許的用途，但建議修訂地契的土地用途必須符合所屬用途地帶所訂明的經常准許或已獲得規劃許可的用途。
Should there be any amendments to the land use zoning of a private lot under the statutory plan the owner of the private lot may apply to LandsD for lease modifications or a temporary waiver so as to change the permitted uses of the lease governing the lot . However the land uses of the lease proposed to be changed must comply with the always permitted uses specified in the respective land use zones or uses for which planning permission has been obtained
在審批過程中，分區地政處會徵詢相關部門包括規劃署及消防處的意見，並按需要透過民政事務處進行地區諮詢。
In processing the applications District Lands Offices DLOs will consult the relevant departments including the Planning Department and the Fire Services Department and conduct local consultation through the District Offices when necessary
分區地政處會視乎收到有關政府部門的意見，以地主身份考慮有關申請。
DLOs will depending on the comments received from the relevant government departments consider in the capacity of the landlord
如獲批准，申請人須繳付豁免限制費用/補地價費用和行政費，並接受批出的其他條款。
If the application is approved the applicant will have to pay a waiver feeland premium and an administrative fee and accept other terms and conditions stipulated
在政策主導下，政府可為個別行業或特定用途引入利便將工業地段或現有工業樓宇改作特定用途的豁免收費/特惠計劃。
Based on policy considerations the Government may introduce a fee exemptionconcessionary scheme in respect of an individual trade or a specified use so as to facilitate the conversion of an industrial lot or an existing industrial building to specified uses
正如上述，有關規劃用途修訂並不會取代個別地段原已訂立的地契的用途條款。
As mentioned above such amendments relating to land use planning would not replace the land use clauses already stipulated in the leases for the respective land lots
