然而，今天除了主責的勞工及福利局局長在席外，我很高興看到民政事務局局長和教育局副局長同樣在席，足以證明特區政府重視今天這項議案，願意聽取議員的意見。
However today I am so glad to see that apart from the Secretary for Labour and Welfare who is the official - in - charge the Secretary for Home Affairs and the Under Secretary for Education are also present . It is sufficient to prove that the SAR Government attaches great importance to the motion today and is willing to listen to the views of Members
主席，今天的辯論議題是促請政府為新生嬰兒及18歲以下兒童設立"新生代基金"。
President the debate today is about setting up a New Generation Fund the Fund for newborns and children under the age of 18
"跨代貧窮"一詞很多時候會用來形容第三世界落後國家的情況，但原來亦離香港不遠。
While the term cross - generational poverty is often used to describe the situation of backward third - world countries this poverty issue is not far from Hong Kong
根據政府去年發表的《2019年香港貧窮情況報告》，香港青年貧窮人口連升4年，創下近10年新高，情況需要社會正視和關注。
According to the Hong Kong Poverty Situation Report 2019 published by the Government last year the population of poor youth in Hong Kong had increased for four consecutive years to hit a decade - high . The community needs to take this situation seriously and pay attention to it
政府現時對幼兒教育、託管、青少年個人成長及增值的支援並不足夠，單靠家長獨力負擔，我相信他們非常吃力。
Currently government support in areas such as child education child care youths personal growth and self - enhancement are insufficient and I think it is really hard for parents to only count on themselves
養兒一百歲，長憂九十九，我們可在網上看到很多家長熱烈討論壓力大、居住環境越來越小等問題。
As parents are always full of worries we can see online many parents keenly discuss their increasing pressure and smaller accommodation
很多雙職家庭的父母早出晚歸，沒有時間照顧子女，但亦總要預留儲蓄為子女報讀興趣班、補習班甚或模擬面試，替他們增值。
A lot of double - income parents have to work all day long and have no time for their children . Yet they will always leave some savings for their children to attend interest classes tutorial classes or even mock interviews to seek enhancements
這些情況非常普遍，不論中產家庭或基層朋友都得面對。
These problems are very common to both the middle - class and grass - roots families
究竟政府可以如何幫他們？
How can the Government help them?
除了提供12年免費教育外，其實政府可以扮演更積極、更具承擔的角色，支援年輕一代就業和發展。
Apart from the provision of 12 - year free education the Government can actually play a more active and committed role in providing young people with career and development support
相信很多人都聽過，真正幫助農民的方法，是教授他們耕種的方法和提 供耕種的農具，而我相信基金正正可以為新生代提供個人增值資源，扶助下一代的發展。
Many of us have heard that the best way to genuinely help farmers is to teach them farming methods and provide them with farm tools . The Fund in my view is the very tool to provide the new generation with resources for their self - enhancement and development
議案不但提到應由政府分擔基金部分供款及提供稅務寬免，以減輕家長的經濟壓力，亦建議提供誘因鼓勵家長參與供款。
The motion does not only suggest the Government to share the contributions to the Fund and provide tax deduction to ease the financial burden of parents it also suggests the Government to offer incentives to encourage parents to make contributions
為協助有經濟困難的家庭，議案亦提出設立豁免比例供款，容許該等家庭減少供款。
In order to aid families in financial difficulties the motion also proposes the provision of exemption from making full contributions to lower their contribution amount
主席，我認為這建議可從另一方面支援家長，讓他們能把更多資源投放於子女成長，為子女策劃未來。
President I think this is another way to support parents so that they will have more resources to raise their children and plan for their childrens future
今天，我希望在座各位局長及政府官員均會認真聆聽，詳細研究，作出跟進，為新生代長遠地策劃未來，改善香港青年的貧窮問題，我認為這對社會有幫助。
Today I hope that all Directors of Bureaux and government officials in this Chamber will listen seriously and study carefully to follow up on the matter . Making long - term plans for the new generation and improving the youth poverty problem in Hong Kong is in my opinion beneficial to the community
最重要的是，能令社會長遠穩定、和諧發展。
The most important of all they can contribute to the long - term stability and harmonious development of society
主席，我知道發言時限快到，但我想指出，民建聯過往曾經提出很多支援新生代的福利倡議，部分更獲得政府接納，例如大家經常討論的兒童醫療券、推展15年免費教育，以及增加課餘託管中心和育嬰院等社區設施。
Yet I wish to point out that DAB has made a lot of welfare proposals that can give support to the new generation . Some of them have even been accepted by the Government eg . the frequently - discussed child healthcare vouchers the introduction of 15 - year free education and the addition of community facilities such as after school care programme centres and day crèches
上述措施可減輕家長實際的育兒壓力。
The aforesaid initiatives can help ease parents pressure of child - raising
不過，最重要的是，政府面對現時的新形勢及新挑戰，應該更加高瞻遠矚，以戰略思維布局，令我們的下一代感到幸福，感到他們在香港可以有不同發揮。
However in the face of new situation and new challenges the Government must be more forward - looking and plan strategically to bring happiness to our next generation and make them feel that they can give play to their strengths in Hong Kong
主席，最後，我支持蔣麗芸議員的議案，我謹此陳辭，多謝主席。
President lastly I express my support for Dr CHIANG Lai - wans motion . I so submit . Thank you President
主席，民建聯支持這次發展局根據《建築物條例》第23條提出的擬議決議案。
President DAB supports the proposed resolution under section 23 of the Buildings Ordinance introduced by the Development Bureau
這項議案的重點是把一些違例僭建物的項目，納入法例原有的小型工程監管制度，以配合住戶的實際需要。
The main purpose of this resolution is to incorporate certain items of unauthorized building works UBWs into the Minor Works Control System MWCS initially provided in the Ordinance to meet the genuine needs of building occupants
僭建物對香港人而言一點都不陌生，但細問之下，我們會發現他們對僭建物的認識不深。
UBWs are nothing new to Hong Kong people but upon further enquiries we notice that the people do not have a deep understanding of UBWs
定義上，"凡未經屋宇署事先批准或沒有根據小型工程監管制度的簡化程序而進行的樓宇加建或改動，均屬僭建物"，即沒有通過審批的招牌、簷篷、平台構築物、天台搭建物、冷氣機支架、燈支架，以至大家近日相當關注的"劏房"亂駁渠管，均屬僭建。
By definition any additions or alterations to buildings without the prior approval of the Buildings Department or not following the simplified procedures under MWCS are regarded as UBWs . In other words signboards canopies flat roof structures roof top structures supporting frames for air - conditioners lighting towers and drainage misconnections in subdivided units without prior approval are regarded as UBWs
此舉其實十分不環保，亦費時失事。
This is not only very environmentally unfriendly but also a waste of time and ineffective
因此，政府便提出這項議案。
Thus the Government has introduced this resolution
我認為既然要大費周章，勞民傷財地拆卸一些小型設施，暫時容許它們存在是務實的做法。
I think instead of spending lot of effort and money to demolish some minor features a pragmatic approach is to allow them to exist for the time being
這做法除了可顧及居民的實際需要外，還可大大減省執法人員巡查和跟進拆卸工作的人力成本，讓相關部門可以調撥資源，處理更重要的工作。
Apart from meeting the genuine needs of the building occupants this approach can also greatly reduce the manpower costs of inspecting and following up demolition works by law enforcement officers allowing the relevant departments to allocate resources for handling the more important tasks
這次修例後，市民可委託專業人士，例如結構工程師或註冊承建商，核實其小型家居裝置是否符合法例要求的安全規定，這點很重要。
After this amendment exercise the public can engage professionals such as structural engineers or registered contractors to validate if their minor household features comply with the safety requirements of the law which is very important
就此，我認為整體方向正確，值得支持。
Therefore I think the general direction of the proposal is correct and worthy of support
由此可見，只要偶一不慎，疏於檢查樓宇情況，意外便會隨時發生。
If one is not careful enough and has neglected to check the conditions of the building accidents can happen any time
第一，是做好宣傳。
First the Secretary should enhance publicity work
局長想必知道，過往政府的宣傳工作上總有錯漏，要不就是好心做壞事，要不就是不懂得把握時機宣傳。
As the Secretary may be aware there were always mistakes and omissions in the publicity work of the Government in the past . The Government had either turned a well - intentioned measure into a disservice or failed to grasp the opportunity to attract publicity
我希望局長能夠加強市民對這方面的認知。
I hope that the Secretary will enhance the publics knowledge in this area
第二，局長應該緊記，在法例通過後仍須持續監察樓宇安全，公眾利益和公眾安全是絕對不能妥協的。
Second the Secretary should bear in mind that after the passage of the Bill it is still necessary to monitor the safety of buildings on an ongoing basis since public interests and public safety cannot be compromised at all
我希望局長能夠加強執法，利用騰出的資源，針對確實會影響公眾安全和公眾利益的僭建物果斷執法，讓問題得到適當處理。
I hope that the Secretary will strengthen law enforcement and utilize the spare resources to take decisive law enforcement actions against UBWs which will actually affect public safety and public interests so that the problems can be properly solved
主席，我再次表示，我和民建聯支持這項議案。
President I reiterate that DAB and I support this motion
主席，我感謝劉國勳議員提出議案，以及姚思榮議員提出修正案。
President I thank Mr LAU Kwok - fan for moving the motion and Mr YIU Si - wing for proposing the amendment
對政府來說，我們非常重視新界北部，特別是邊境管制站附近土地未來的發展潛力。
From the perspective of the Government great importance is attached to the potential for future development of the northern New Territories particularly the land in the surrounding areas of the boundary control points
接下來，我會就兩位議員提出的建議，以及新界北部政府未來的規劃，作一個扼要的闡述。
Next in response to the proposals of the two Members I will explain in gist the Governments future planning of the northern New Territories
根據2016年公布的全港土地發展策略《香港2030+：跨越2030年的規劃遠景與策略》，新界北部是中部水域人工島以外的另一個策略增長區。
According to the territorial development strategy of Hong Kong 2030 Towards a Planning Vision and Strategy Transcending 2030 released in 2016 the northern New Territories is another strategic growth area apart from the artificial islands in the Central Waters
新界北策略增長區發展範圍佔地超過1,400公頃，涵蓋了落馬洲、落馬洲支線、文錦渡和香園圍管制站附近具潛力作高密度發展的土地。
The New Territories North strategic growth area covers a development area of more than 1 400 hectares including land in the surrounding areas of the control points of Lok Ma Chau Lok Ma Chau Spur Line Man Kam To and Heung Yuen Wai which has potential for high density development
我們的規劃概念，正正是透過綜合規劃及善用區內的土地，包括棕地和農地等，建立新市鎮和基建配套，以滿足香港長遠的社會和經濟發展。
Our planning concept is precisely to build new towns and ancillary infrastructure by means of comprehensive planning and utilizing land available in the area including brownfield sites and agricultural lands to meet the long - term social and economic development needs of Hong Kong
就新田/落馬洲發展樞紐而言，初步估計這個發展樞紐佔地約320公頃，藉着規劃中的北環綫新田站，可以作中至高密度的發展，預計可以提供約31,000個住宅單位，當中公營房屋的比例約為七成，可以容納約84,000人居住及提供約64,000個就業機會。
As far as the San TinLok Ma Chau Development Node is concerned the preliminary estimate is that it covers about 320 hectares . With San Tin Station of the Northern Link under planning the area can be used for medium to high density development and is expected to provide about 31 000 residential units . As the public housing ratio is about 70 % the development can accommodate about 84 000 residents and provide about 64 000 job opportunities
在發展樞紐的北部，當中約有50多公頃，我們建議劃作企業及科技園，作企業辦公和科技創新，以配合附近落馬洲河套地區創科園的發展，發揮協同效應。
To the north of the Development Node there are about 50 - odd hectares of land . We propose to designate it as an enterprise and technology park for enterprises to operate and for technology and innovation development . This will dovetail with the development of the nearby Innovation and Technology Park at the Lok Ma Chau Loop to create synergy
新界北發展除了新田/落馬洲發展樞紐，還有兩個組成部分，便是新界北新市鎮及文錦渡物流走廊。
In addition to the Development Node the development of New Territories North also consists of two other components namely new town in New Territories North and the Man Kam To Logistics Corridor
這兩個組成部分佔地加起來約1,140公頃，初步預計可容納不少於20萬人居住及提供約134,000個就業機會。
These two components added up to give a total area of about 1 140 hectares . Our preliminary estimate is that it can accommodate no less than 200 000 residents and provide about 134 000 job opportunities
我們會探討如何配合粵港澳大灣區發展的趨勢，在該區規劃新產業和新的就業機會，以助提升本港的經濟活力，並且為地區創造就業機會，以紓緩職位過度集中於市區的情況。
To tie in with the development trend of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area we will explore how to plan for development of new industries and new job opportunities in the region to enhance economic vitality in Hong Kong and create job opportunities for the region so as to reduce excessive concentration of jobs in the urban areas
為了爭取時間，我們特別在新界北新市鎮內鄰近香園圍邊境管制站的地方，預先預留了約56公頃的土地作科學園或工業邨發展。
In order to save time we have particularly reserved about 56 hectares of land in advance for the development of science parks or industrial estates in the surrounding areas of the Heung Yuen Wai Border Control Point in the new towns of New Territories North
香港科技園公司會在短期內展開相關的工程及技術可行性研究。
The Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation will soon launch related engineering and technical feasibility studies
主席，為了推展新界北發展，政府亦已展開向立法會申請撥款的程序，為新田/落馬洲發展樞紐進行勘查研究及詳細設計，以及為新界北新市鎮及文錦渡物流走廊展開規劃及工程研究。
President in order to drive the development of New Territories North the Government has commenced the procedures for making a funding application to the Legislative Council to undertake investigation and detailed works design for the Development Node as well as commencing planning and engineering studies for the new towns of New Territories North and Man Kam To Logistics Corridor
我們已就撥款申請，在前日諮詢發展事務委員會，我在此衷心感謝在會議上議員對撥款申請基本上表示正面的態度。
We have already consulted the Panel on Development on the funding application the day before yesterday . I would like to express my sincere thanks to members for they have basically expressed a positive attitude towards the funding application at the meeting
我們計劃在6月份就相關撥款申請諮詢立法會工務小組委員會。
We plan to consult the Public Works Subcommittee of the Legislative Council on the funding application in June
我盼望議員仍然能夠繼續對撥款申請作出支持。
I hope that Members will continue to support the funding application
事實上，議員的支持對我們來說是非常大的動力來源。
In fact the support of Members is a huge driving force to us
姚思榮議員提及可否開放沙頭角禁區發展邊境旅遊。
Mr YIU Si - wing asked whether the closed area of Sha Tau Kok can be opened up to develop boundary tourism
主席，邊境禁區的設立旨在提供一個緩衝地帶，協助執法機構維持香港特區與內 地之間的界線完整，以及打擊非法入境、走私及其他跨境的犯罪活動。
President closed areas have been established to provide a buffer zone to assist law enforcement agencies in keeping the boundary between HKSAR and the Mainland intact and to combat illegal immigration smuggling and other cross - boundary criminal activities
特區政府的政策一直是將禁區的範圍限制於維持公共秩序所需的範圍內，因此，在平衡保安風險後，特區政府已於2008年至2016年間，已將邊境禁區的陸地範圍由約2,800公頃大幅縮減至約400公頃。
It has been the SAR Governments policy all along to limit the extent of closed areas to that required in maintaining public order . Thus after balancing the security risks the SAR Government has significantly reduced the land area of closed areas from about 2 800 hectares to about 400 hectares from 2008 to 2016
現時，邊境禁區只覆蓋警方的邊界巡邏通道及其以北的土地、過境設施、沙頭角墟、沙頭角海，以及米埔部分地方。
At present the frontier closed area only covers the boundary patrol road of the Police and areas to its north the boundary crossing facilities Sha Tau Kok Town Starling Inlet and parts of Mai Po
政府將上述地點保留在邊境禁區範圍內，主要是考慮到區內的實際環境及其保安風險。
The major considerations of the Government in keeping these places within the frontier closed area are the actual situation in the region and its security risks
主席，劉國勳議員亦提及是否可以有專設的組織或部門處理有關新界北發展的情況。
President Mr LAU Kwok - fan also asked whether a dedicated organization or department can be set up to handle issues concerning the development of New Territories North
其實，目前已有機制在政府內外對有關發展作推動。
In fact mechanisms have been put in place both within and outside the Government to drive the development
在目前的設計下，主要牽頭的為發展局，部門來說有規劃署及土木工程拓展署。
Under the current design the Development Bureau is the spearhead . Other departments involved include the Planning Department and the Civil Engineering and Development Department
由於牽涉大量珍貴土地的拓展，財政司司長及行政長官都對有關發展親自關心。
Since development of a lot of valuable sites will be involved the Financial Secretary and the Chief Executive have personally expressed their concerns about the development
在目前來說，我們沒有打算新增一個支援的部門處理有關事宜，因為未來的財政狀況亦蒙受挑戰。
At present we have no plans to create an additional supporting department to deal with the matter because the financial conditions in the future will be met with challenges
但是，就如何可以進一步加強目前的推動機制，我們樂意與劉國勳議員進一步探討不同的可能性。
However we are willing to explore more possibilities with Mr LAU Kwok - fan to further enhance the existing mechanisms for driving the development
主席，新界地區發展涉及不同的議題，包括如何平衡自然保育及發展，如何提供充足的交通基建配套。
President the development of the New Territories involves a variety of issues including how to strike a balance between conservation of nature and development and how to provide adequate ancillary transport infrastructure
政府不同的政策局及部門一直有緊密合作，以有效推動新界北及其他地方的發展。
Different Policy Bureaux and departments have worked closely together to promote the development of New Territories North and other places effectively
接下來我和運輸及房屋局、創新及科技局和環境局的同事會細心聆聽各位議員的發言，稍後再作適當的回應及補充。
Colleagues of the Transport and Housing Bureau the Innovation and Technology Bureau and the Environment Bureau and I will listen carefully to Members speeches and where appropriate give appropriate responses and provide additional information later
主席，感謝劉國勳議員提出今次"以口岸經濟帶動新界北發展"的議案。
President I thank Mr LAU Kwok - fan for proposing the motion on Driving the development of New Territories North with port economy at this meeting . In the first 100 years or so after the opening up of Hong Kong local development mainly concentrated in the south especially the two sides of Victoria Harbour
香港開埠首100多年來的發展，都集中在南面，尤其是維多利亞港兩岸，我估計主要的原因是香港依賴港口經濟、海上貿易起家；其次是由於英國人通過武力，將香港由中國手中借回來、搶回來，所以要嚴守北面與中國大陸邊界，不把重要的經濟設施及商業發展，放在租借回來的新界。
I guess it was mainly because Hong Kong had relied on seaport economy and thrived on sea trade . Also as the British had forced China to lease and cede different parts of Hong Kong by military means they had to tightly secure the northern border between Hong Kong and the Mainland of China . Therefore neither key economic facilities nor commercial activities were developed in the leased land of the New Territories
其後，香港人口不斷增加，香港島及九龍的發展日漸飽和，港英政府開始發展多個新界新市鎮，主要是用來興建住宅及工廠。
Subsequently as the population of Hong Kong continued to grow little room was left on Hong Kong Island and in Kowloon for further development . The British Hong Kong Government then began to develop new towns in the New Territories but there were mainly residential units and factories
隨後工業北移，大部分經濟活動及就業職位仍然集中在香港南部，很多新界 居民要每天長途跋涉到市區工作，產生日益嚴重的塞車、污染及交通費問題。
While some industries had relocated to the north most of the economic activities and job opportunities still concentrated in southern Hong Kong . Many New Territories residents have to travel long way to work in the urban areas every day creating increasingly serious problems of traffic congestion pollution and high transport costs
新界北部及口岸地區，正如局長所說要防範走私偷渡，很多土地都列為邊境禁區，難以發展。
As for the northern New Territories and the port areas they were hard to develop because just as the Secretary said a lot of land there had been designated as frontier closed area to guard against smuggling and illegal entry
不過，隨着香港回歸祖國，經濟轉型，以及國家自改革開放40年來的高速發展，拉近兩地經濟及生活水平，由內地偷渡來港的人幾近絕跡。
However after Hong Kongs economic restructuring following our return to the Motherland and Chinas rapid development after 40 years of reform and opening up the gap between the Mainland and Hong Kong has been narrowed in terms of economic development and living standard
反之，依賴內地經濟、內地旅客，以及在疫情前每天、每周經不同口岸往返內地的香港居民人數大增，令特區政府需要不斷加建陸路口岸及跨境交通基建、縮減邊境禁區範圍，以至全盤重新思考香港規劃發展格局。
There are hence barely any illegal immigrants from the Mainland since then . Conversely our reliance on Mainlands economy and tourists as well as the significant increase in the number of Hong Kong residents travelling to and from the Mainland every day or every week via different ports before the epidemic have prompted the SAR Government to build additional land boundary control points and cross - boundary transport infrastructure facility reduce the land coverage of the frontier closed area and reconsider the development plan of Hong Kong in a holistic manner
隨着美國等西方反華勢力對中國的打壓加劇，國家確立以內循環為主體的雙循環發展策略。
In response to the intensified suppression of China from the Western anti - Chinese forces including the United States China has established the development strategy featuring dual circulation which takes the domestic market as the mainstay
香港必須加快發展，將重心向北移及西移，推動口岸經濟，更充分把握深圳、珠海，以至整個大灣區高速發展帶來的龐大機遇，為香港經濟及社會民生發展注入新動力、引領新方向。
Hong Kong must speed up its development shift the focus of development to its northern and western parts and promote the port economy to better capitalize on the massive opportunities brought by the rapid development of Shenzhen Zhuhai and the entire Greater Bay Area with a view to injecting new impetus into and giving a new direction to Hong Kongs economic and social development
近年先後落成啟用的港深西部通道、高鐵香港段、港珠澳大橋、蓮塘/香園圍口岸，以及仍處於興建和籌劃階段的落馬洲河套地區創科園、皇崗口岸"一地兩檢"、"明日大嶼願景"及新界北新發展區等，我相信都是循這個方向發展。
Regarding the Hong Kong - Shenzhen Western Corridor the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge and the LiantangHeung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point which have been successively commissioned in recent years as well as the Hong Kong - Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park in the Lok Ma Chau Loop the co - location arrangement at the Huanggang Port the Lantau Tomorrow Vision and the New Territories North new development area which are either under construction or planning I believe all of them develop towards the same direction
然而，正如其他很多良好的發展計劃及政策措施，政府都做得太慢。
However same as many other remarkable development plans and policy initiatives the speed of the Government was too slow
深圳河以北可三五年就完成的建設，香港現時往往需時七八年，甚至十多二十年仍未完成。
Development project to the north of Shenzhen River which can be completed in three to five years will probably take Hong Kong seven to eight years or even 10 to 20 years to complete
主席，機會不會等人，香港如再不加快追趕，就會被內地發展進一步拋離。
President opportunities do not wait . Hong Kong will lag further behind if it does not hurry up to catch up with Mainlands development
另外，特區政府要加強與深圳、廣東省政府及相關中央部委的溝通協調，不要單單考慮自己，或單看深圳河以南，並要站在國家大局思考，配合內地規劃及發展，最理想的當然是做好機制對接，共同規劃發展。
Moreover the SAR Government should strengthen its communication and coordination with Shenzhen the government of Guangdong Province and the relevant Central Government ministries instead of simply focusing on its own concerns or the situation to the south of the Shenzhen River . It has to consider with the overall picture of the country in mind and support the planning and development of the Mainland . Of course it will be most desirable for the mechanisms of the two places to tie in with each other and plan jointly for development
不少市民都覺得，關於很多內地的發展規劃建議，香港官員好像是看報章才得悉。
Hong Kong officials give people an impression that they do not know much about the proposed developments of the Mainland and could only learn them from news reports
如果情況屬實，局長當然不能坐視不理，必須從速改善。
If this is true the Secretary must take action to expeditiously improve the situation
主席，時間所限，我不能夠逐一回應原議案及姚思榮議員的修正案的各項內容，原則上我都支持，尤其是在加快北區及跨境交通基建、土地改劃及發展流程方面。
President as time is running out I cannot respond to all the proposals in the original motion and Mr YIU Si - wings amendment . In principle I agree with all of them especially those about speeding up the development of transport infrastructure in the North District and across the border and expediting the land rezoning and development processes
不過，對於將政府部門遷往北區，我認為要審慎考慮。
Yet as regards the proposal of relocating government departments to the North District I think it deserves careful consideration
這項議案旨在修訂《建築物條例》附表8，透過經修訂的附表讓更多的小型適意設施儘管它們在法律上來說，屬於《建築物條例》下的違例建築亦可以在"風險為本"的原則下，經適當的機制被繼續使用。
The purpose of this resolution is to amend Schedule 8 to the Buildings Ordinance in order to allow a greater number of minor amenity features in that amended Schedule though they legally remain as unauthorized under the Ordinance to continue to be used under the risk - based principle through an appropriate mechanism
現行的小型工程監管制度源於2010年12月31日實施的《建築物規例》。
The prevailing Minor Works Control System MWCS originates from the Building Minor Works Regulation which came into operation on 31 December 2010
該制度為樓宇業主提供一個有效的途徑，以合法、簡單、安全而又方便的形式進行小規模建築工程，並且無須事先獲得建築事務監督批准圖則或同意。
It provides an effective way for building owners to carry out small - scale building works in a lawful simple safe and convenient way without the need to obtain prior approval of plans and consent from the Building Authority
此外，在小型工程監管制度下，一些在規例於2010年12月31日實施前已經被違例豎設，但又符合相關規定的小型適意設施，亦可以受惠於一個檢核計劃。
Furthermore under MWCS certain minor amenity features that are erected in violation of the Ordinance before the commencement of the Building Minor Works Regulation on 31 December 2010 but which meet relevant requirements could also enjoy a validation scheme
