我相信，地區規劃得宜的話，不但可以改善市民的生活質素，亦可以善用公共資源，對市民和政府來說都是雙贏的做法。
I believe that proper district planning not only can improve the quality of life of the public but also optimize the use of public resources; this is a win - win approach for the public and the Government
代理主席，隨着人口增加，各區居住環境越來越擠迫，加上市民對社區設施的期望越來越高，要求增加社區設施以優化市民的生活，是政府必須面對的問題。
Deputy President the living environment in various districts has become more crowded with the increase in population . This coupled with the publics ever - growing aspiration for additional community facilities to improve peoples livelihood are the problems which the Government must address squarely
陳恒鑌議員提出更新《香港規劃標準與準則》，我原則上同意在規劃上作出適當調整，特別是泊車位、公眾街市、文娛及康樂場地等。
Mr CHAN Han - pan proposed to update the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines HKPSG . I agree in principle that suitable adjustments be made to Hong Kongs planning especially in the provision of parking spaces public markets as well as cultural leisure and sports venues and so on
同時，政府亦要注意善用各區現有環境及配套資源，在服務當區居民之餘，又能夠利用各區之間的既有資源進行互補，令市民可以跨區感受不同的地區特色。
At the same time the Government should ensure the optimal use of the existing environment and ancillary resources in the communities to serve the local residents while giving people a feel of the unique characteristics in different districts through the synergy achieved by the complementary use of existing resources in each district
所以，我不贊成在各社區強制性執行量化的指標。
Hence I do not agree that quantitative targets should be implemented mandatorily in all communities
如果用"一刀切"的標準來規劃社區設施，只會令各區缺乏既有特色，正如不少議員詬病各區的領展商場千篇一律，毫無特色一樣，亦容易浪費了各社區獨特的資源。
If community facilities are planned by using the same standards across the board the characteristics of each district will be taken away . It is just like the criticisms made by some Members a moment ago that shopping malls under Link Real Estate Investment Trust are all the same without any individual characteristics . Moreover unique resources in each community may also be wasted easily
大家也知道，香港地少人多，居住環境擠迫，文娛康樂活動對市民身心健康至為重要。
As we all know Hong Kong is a small place with a large population and people are living in a crowded environment . Cultural and recreational activities thus have a pivotal role to play in ensuring the publics mental and physical well - being
因此，我想集中討論規劃文康設施的原則。
That is why I would like to focus my speech on discussing the principles of planning for cultural and recreational facilities
首先，規劃文康設施要有全局觀念。
Firstly planning for cultural and recreational facilities must be made from an overall perspective
目前我們可以看到政府在規劃每個社區的文康設施的同時，亦會根據各區不同的特色，提出一些全面性的規劃。
At present we note that when planning for cultural and recreational facilities in individual communities the Government will also propose an overall direction of planning taking into account their unique characteristics
例如，財務委員會今年5月通過撥款，興建接駁上水至屯門的單車徑網絡，單車徑貫通馬鞍山、沙田、大埔、粉嶺、上水、元朗至屯門，總長度達60公里；如果屯門至荃灣的一段稍後亦能"拍板"，單車徑總長度可達82公里。
For example in May this year the Finance Committee approved the funding application to construct a cycle track network connecting Sheung Shui and Tuen Mun . Upon completion the cycle track network will span across 60 km in length connecting Ma On Shan Sha Tin Tai Po Fanling Sheung Shui Yuen Long and Tuen Mun . If funding for the construction of the section between Tuen Mun and Tsuen Wan is also approved later the cycle track will have a length of 82 km in total
猶記得，這段單車徑本來是分開一段段的，並無計劃連接起來；去到2007年，政府決定分階段把各路段貫通起來，並提升原有單車徑標準。
Members should also recall that the cycle tracks in the network were originally confined to individual areas without any plan of connection . It was not until 2007 that the Government decided to connect the cycle tracks to form a comprehensive network and upgrade the standards of the original cycle tracks in phases
這樣，單車徑網絡便可貫通6區，項目對地區居民及香港市民都有着十分重要的意義。
As such the cycle track network will connect the six districts and become a significant infrastructure for both local residents as well as Hong Kong people at large
上述例子說明全局觀念對民生的重要性。
The above example illustrates the importance of planning from an overall perspective for peoples livelihood
其次，規劃文康設施時亦要因地制宜。
Secondly planning for cultural and recreational facilities should give due regard to the local conditions
政府應主動把具備條件而且有特色的地區景點和文物古蹟作全面盤點，在不影響環保及地區居民日常生活的前提下，提升為全港具標誌性的旅遊項目，以吸引本地市民及遊客。
The Government should take the initiative to conduct a comprehensive stock - taking exercise for all local scenic spots and cultural relics with characteristics across the territory so that they can be developed into iconic tourist spots to attract both local residents and overseas visitors on the premise that the environment as well as the livelihood of residents in the communities will not be affected
大家也知道，在各方努力下，在2011年9月17日，中國香港世界地質公園獲聯合國教科文組織列入世界地質公園名錄，成為中國第二十六個世界級地質公園，亦是罕有位於國際大都會中世界地質公園。
As we all know through concerted efforts from all parties concerned the Hong Kong Global Geopark of China was added to the UNESCOs Global Geoparks Network on 17 September 2011 and became the 26 world - class national geoparks of China . Hong Kong Global Geopark of China is also unique because of its location in an international metropolitan city
另一個例子是麥理浩徑。
Another example is the MacLehose Trail
麥理浩徑今年獲美國國家地理頻道選為全球20條最佳行山徑之一。
This year the MacLehose Trail was cited as one of the worlds top 20 hiking trails by the United States National Geographic Channel
這些都是利用地區的珍貴資源作推廣而得到世人所認同。
Through promotion these sites of precious local natural resources have gained world recognition
當然，我們在鼓勵市民及旅客遊覽時，亦要作合理安排，予以適當保護，否則難保有朝一日，這些榮譽也會得而復失。
As we encourage members of the public and tourists to visit these places we must of course ensure that reasonable arrangements are made for their protection accordingly or else we may lose such honour forever some day
最後，在推動增加地區文康設施時，要結合地區的實際情況。
Lastly the Government should give due regard to the actual circumstances of the districts when promoting the provision of additional cultural and recreational facilities
去年政府向全港18區區議會各撥款1億元，以推行社區重點項目的計劃，已邁出了重要一步。
Last year the Government took an important step to allocate 100 million for each of the 18 District Councils to implement signature projects in the community
除了新項目外，香港各區亦有不少極具歷史價值的古蹟。
Apart from the implementation of new projects monuments with historical value can be found in many districts throughout the territory
以就近的中環、上環為例，便有禮賓府、纜車總站、荷李活道警署、元創方、甘棠第、文武廟、摩羅街等。
For example in the areas of Central and Sheung Wan around us we have the Government House the Peak Tram Lower Terminus the Central Police Station Compound in Hollywood Road PMQ Kom Tong Hall Man Mo Temple Cat Street and so on
通過漫步旅遊，市民及旅客可以了解香港更多歷史，認識香港更多旅遊資源。
By taking walking tours in these areas local residents as well as tourists can gain a better understanding of Hong Kongs history and tourism resources
其實，其他地區同樣有很多值得向全港講述的故事，我認為政府應該根據各區實際情況，支持當區區議會及相關團體，發掘不同的地區主題，豐富社區文化內涵，增加市民對香港地理及歷史的認識。
As a matter of fact equally interesting stories that are worth sharing can also be found in other districts of Hong Kong . I hold that the Government should support the District Councils and relevant organizations to explore the development of different themes in the districts taking into account their actual circumstances so as to enrich the cultural contents of the communities while enhancing the publics understanding of Hong Kongs geography and history
代理主席，我謹此陳辭，支持原議案。
With these remarks Deputy President I support the original motion
代理主席，過去立法會會議上就不同政策範疇的討論中，經常提及《香港規劃標準與準則》。
Deputy President the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines HKPSG has often been mentioned in the previous discussions on various policy areas at Legislative Council meetings
結果經過多年爭拗，《規劃標準》仍未認真修訂。
Consequently after years of wrangling HKPSG has never been seriously amended
事實上，即使根據過往的規劃標準，現時很多社區設施的數量均未能達標，以致無法回應社會的需求。
In fact even by the standards of the long - standing guidelines many community facilities at present have failed to meet the targets thereby failing to respond to the needs of the community . Take recreational and sports facilities as an example
以康體設施為例，根據現行準則，每65,000名市民興建1個體育館，全港應有111個體育館，目前只有96個尚未達標。
According to the current HKPSG one sports stadium should be built per 65 000 residents . Thus there should be 111 sports stadia in Hong Kong . The provision of only 96 stadia at present has fallen short of the target
根據一份本地報章年初的統計，全港18區中，有部分地區的康體設施嚴重不足。
According to a survey conducted by a local newspaper earlier this year there is a serious shortage of recreational and sports facilities in some of the 18 districts of Hong Kong
例如油尖旺區只有21個籃球場，少於標準的32個；七人足球場只有5個，少於標準的11個。
For example there are only 21 basketball courts in the Yau Tsim Mong District lower than the 32 as required; and there are only 5 7 - a - side football pitches lower than the 11 as required
其實，有關康體設施的標準，已由1980年代沿用至今。
In fact the standards for some recreational and sports facilities have been in use since 1980s . The population size and structure have seen great changes since then
其間，香港人口數目及結構出現很大變化，而且現今市民較昔日更注重健康，願意花更多時間做運動，對 體育設施的需求比30年前大；加上人口老化，需求亦有所變化。
Furthermore the public nowadays are even more health conscious than before . As they are more willing to spend time on exercise there is a stronger demand for sports facilities compared with that 30 years ago . Population ageing has also resulted in changes in demand
然而，市民要租用康樂及文化事務署的場地非常困難，很多場地長期約滿；某些場地如羽毛球場及籃球場要共用一個場館，如有市民預訂羽毛球場，這個時段籃球場便不能使用，這類安排並不理想。
However it is very difficult for the public to book venues managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department LCSD because many of them are always fully booked . At some stadia badminton court and basketball court share the same venue . If the venue has been booked as a badminton court no basketball court will be available during the very time slot
因此，當局必須盡快檢討及修訂《規劃標準》，改善設施規劃，興建更多康體場地。
This arrangement is far from desirable . Hence the authorities must expeditiously review and amend HKPSG to improve facilities planning and build more recreational and sports venues
以空置校舍為例，有文化藝術團體一直有意向政府申請使用空置校舍，希望有一個可供發展和練習的穩定處所，但有關空置校舍資料極不透明，連查詢有何空置校舍可供申請，教育局、地政總署或規劃署等部門也經常互相推諉。
Some arts and cultural groups have always wanted to apply to the Government for using these premises in the hope of having a stable premise for their development and practices . However the information on these vacant school premises is far from transparent . The Education Bureau the Lands Department and the Planning Department etc
又例如很多空置工廠大廈單位原本很適合作文化藝術及康樂體育用途，但礙於法例規定，不少業主為免麻煩而拒絕出租予這些團體，浪費寶貴空間；亦經常有單位因為不合規格而被取締。
are very often passing the buck to each other . In many cases vacant factory units are originally very suitable for cultural arts recreational and sports purposes . However subject to legal requirements some owners have refused to lease them to such groups to avoid getting involved in trouble resulting in wastage of valuable spaces
我曾多次在立法會不同會議上跟進這個問題，包括要求當局盡快修訂《規劃標準》中工業用途的定義，以免扼殺藝術及文康產業的生存空間，但經常不獲正面答覆。
In fact some units have often been banned for failing to comply with relevant standards . I have repeatedly followed up on this issue at various Legislative Council meetings including calling on the authorities to expeditiously amend the definition of industrial use in HKPSG to avoid smothering the survival of the arts cultural and recreational industries . However very often I have not been given a direct answer
除空置校舍及工廈單位外，有政府建築物及土地亦空置多年，沒有重新使用，實在非常浪費。
Apart from vacant school premises and industrial units some government buildings and sites have been vacant for many years . It is really a great waste not to reuse them
當局應積極考慮把這些空間批予有需要的團體使用。
The authorities should actively consider granting these spaces to the groups in need
當然，在批出空間時可保留一定彈性，以短期租約形式出租，以便將來有需要時可重新徵用；而最重要的是，政府當局要提升透明度，簡化申請程序，包括改變土地用途的程序，盡量縮短重新使用土地的時間，達致地盡其用。
Of course the Government may retain certain flexibility in granting these spaces by way of short - term tenancy so that it can recover these spaces when necessary in the future . Most importantly the Administration has to enhance transparency and streamline the application procedures including the process for changing land use with a view to shortening the time needed for the reuse of land in order to fully utilize land resources
至於有同事建議把人口與電影院比例的標準重新納入《規劃標準》，我持開放態度。
I keep an open mind on the proposal of a colleague to re - incorporate the standard for population - to - cinema ratio into HKPSG
過去數年，我不斷要求政府就缺乏戲院的地區批地時加入條款，希望發展商能開設戲院。
In the past few years I have been urging the Government to include a clause when granting lands in areas without a cinema in the hope of encouraging developers to build cinemas
電影界的持份者亦曾提出類似要求，但社會有意見認為，電影院屬商業運作，並非政府設施，應隨市場運作，無需政府直接介入。
Stakeholders of the film industry have also made a similar request but there are also views that the commercial operations of cinemas which are not government facilities should be left to the market and no direct government intervention is needed
但是，特首在其過去兩份施政報告中承諾，會在合適的出售土地契約內加入興建電影院的條款，以較間接而非全面的方式介入；但這項政策提出後，至今仍未出現首宗案例。
However the Chief Executive has pledged in his last two policy addresses to include a clause on cinema construction in the land sale lease where appropriate as a means of a more indirect yet less comprehensive intervention . However after this initiative has been proposed no precedent has been established so far
當然，政策能否有效幫助業界覓地興建戲院，為市民提供更多選擇，仍是未知之數。
Of course it remains uncertain as to whether the Government can effectively help the trade identify proper sites for building cinemas so as to offer the public more choices
在成功推行這項政策的前提下，就當局應否進一步把人口與電影院的比例納入《規劃標準》中，我認為大家仍可再作討論，尋求共識。
On the premise of the successful implementation of this policy I am of the view that we can still have more discussion on whether the authorities should further incorporate the population - to - cinema ratio into HKPSG in order to arrive at a consensus
我剛才提及的都是與業界有關的例子，與今天同事提及的其他社區設施，例如興建更多泊車位、街市、醫療、保健以至照顧長者的設施，均以社區的實際需要出發，我非常贊成。
The industry - specific examples I mentioned just now together with the community facilities suggested by colleagues today such as the provision of more parking spaces public markets as well as medical and health facilities for the elderly all proceed from the needs of the community . I strongly support them all
主席，我們今天討論的是《香港規劃標準與準則》，但我關心的是這些是否"堅"標準、"堅"準則，我們可否做到"堅"落實。
President today we are discussing the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines HKPSG but my concern is whether such standards and guidelines are genuine that we can genuinely implement
這正好反映我們議員都看到，《規劃標準》有一個很大的局限，即沒有法律效力和權力硬性規定有關部門必須根據《規劃標準》行事，有關部門達不到要求也不用承擔後果。
This exactly reflects that we Members have observed a serious limitation of HKPSG that is it has no statutory effect or power to mandatorily require the departments concerned to act in accordance with HKPSG and the departments concerned will not have bear any consequences even if they fail to meet the requirement
《規劃標準》第一章寫道："這本手冊所載的標準與準則不具備法定效力，也不具約束力。
Chapter 1 of HKPSG states [t]he standards and guidelines in the HKPSG are neither statutory nor rigid
能否發揮成效，則因應政府內部對各項標準與準則是否確切了解、靈活應用，以及各部門是否通力合作。
The HKPSGs effectiveness depends on the proper understanding flexible application and cooperation within the Government
我們在前線接獲的很多個案都反映了這種情況。
Many cases we have received in the front line have reflected such a situation
很貼身的例子是在我的區議會選區藍田和油塘區內，我們要求興建一間診所。
For example in a case that I am personally involved in we request to build a clinic in Lam Tin and Yau Tong my District Council constituencies
政府回答沒有辦法做到，原因是房屋署雖然會在兩年內興建兩座居屋，但衞生署評估可能要五六年後，才有足夠人口支持在區內興建診所。
The Government replied that it cannot do so for although the Housing Department will build two Home Ownership Scheme blocks within two years the Department of Health estimates that it will take five to six years before the population requirement is met for the provision of a clinic
前期工夫不做好，事後才不斷提出要求，這便是我們社區目前遇到的情況。
The current problems faced by us in the community are inadequate preliminary work and incessant demands made afterwards
我們的前線同事要求政府根據《規劃標準》在社區落實興建一些設施， 但政府卻以《規劃標準》的一些量化指標拒絕興建，令大家空歡喜一場。
When my frontline colleagues ask the Government to implement the construction of certain facilities in the communities in accordance with HKPSG the Government has rejected such requests by quoting certain quantitative yardsticks under HKPSG disappointing us all
這令區內違例泊車的情況十分嚴重，特別是中型車輛及大型巴士。
As a result illegal parking in the district is very serious particularly that of medium vehicles and large buses
張華峰議員剛才說，轉型中的觀塘商貿區由以前的貨車特別多，轉為現時商業車特別多。
As remarked by Mr Christopher CHEUNG just now in the past goods vehicles packed the streets of Kwun Tong but as Kwun Tong transforms to a commercial district commercial vehicles now pack the streets
即使發展局轄下有起動九龍東辦事處專責改善該區的營運，但受限於很多私人物業，根本無法改變。
Even though he Energizing Kowloon East Office under the Development Bureau is dedicated to improving the operation of the district not much can be changed due to the restrictions of many private residential estates
另一例子是政府現在提到的低碳排放的課題，希望減少路邊污染。
Another example involves low - carbon emission advocated by the Government nowadays with the hope of reducing roadside pollution
《規劃標準》沒有提出標準，又沒有人跟進，加上部門又沒有通力推行有關準則的落實，試問香港的社區規劃怎會做得好？
Since HKPSG provides no standard no one is taking any follow - up actions and the departments have not made concerted efforts to implement the guidelines concerned how can proper community planning be formulated for Hong Kong?
因此，我們贊成陳恒鑌議員的議案，希望改善和優化《規劃標準》，令我們的社區規劃......
For this reason we support Mr CHAN Han - pans motion with the hope of improving and perfecting HKPSG so that our community planning will be improved
主席，香港向來地少人多，寸金尺土，居住環境侷促，社區設施配套如車位、休憩設施，以至街市等的規劃，均嚴重失衡，追不上時代發展，故此我支持陳恒鑌議員今天的議案，希望能喚起政府對整體用地需求規劃的關注。
President Hong Kong has always been a small and densely populated city where land is highly precious the living environment crowded and community facilities such as parking spaces sitting - out facilities and even markets are seriously imbalanced failing to keep up with the development of the times . For this reason I support Mr CHAN Han - pans motion today with the hope of arousing the Governments concern about the overall demand for and planning of land
同時，我亦十分贊成盧偉國議員的修正案，因為我們除了要關注住屋及社區設施配套外，還要同時關注工商業用地的規劃，原因是香港是一個國際金融中心，也是重要的商業中心，沒有足夠的商業用地供應，會影響我們的經濟發展，繼而影響我們的民生發展。
At the same time I also fully support Ir Dr LO Wai - kwoks amendment . Apart from focusing on housing and community facilities we should also focus on the planning of sites for the industrial and commercial sectors . As Hong Kong is an international financial centre as well as an important commercial centre the inadequate commercial land supply will affect our economic development and consequently our livelihood
近年來，香港與內地的交往，不論是人流、物流以至金融合作，均越趨緊密。
In recent years the exchanges between Hong Kong and the Mainland have become increasingly close in terms of passenger flow logistics and even financial cooperation
以我代表的金融服務界為例，隨着兩年前"滬港通"開通，有越來越多的內地金融機構來港開業或投資，連帶推動對甲級商廈的需求。
Take for example the financial services sector of which I am a representative . Following the implementation of the Shanghai - Hong Kong Stock Connect two years ago more and more Mainland financial institutions have come to Hong Kong for business start - ups or investment and have accordingly driven up the demand for Grade A commercial buildings
有機構進行的研究顯示，近年中資已取代國際金融機構吸納越來越多的高級商廈，這些商廈更是甲級中的甲級，單是今年，已有超過60%的寫字樓交易是中資買家。
A study conducted by an organization also reveals that in recent years Mainland - funded organizations have taken the place of international financial institutions to take up more and more high - end commercial buildings which are the most superior of Grade A commercial buildings . This year alone over 60 % of office transactions have involved Mainland - funded buyers
事實上，已有多間機構預測，隨着"深港通"開通，明年寫字樓的租金會進一步上揚，必會令中小企業的經營百上加斤。
In fact various organizations have predicted that following the implementation of the Shenzhen - Hong Kong Stock Connect office rents will further rise next year which will certainly increase the operation hardship of small and medium enterprises
第一，騰出核心商業區政府辦公室佔用的樓面，增加區內寫字樓的供應量。
First releasing spaces occupied by government offices in core business districts to increase the supply of offices in the districts
例如，政府計劃分階段遷出灣仔北的3幢政府大樓，將騰出約1,884 000平方呎的樓面面積。
For example the Government has planned to reprovision the three government office buildings in Wan Chai North in phases and some 1 884 000 sq ft of floor area will be released
但是，早前政府答覆立法會質詢時表示，在啟德興建的新稅務大樓要到2022年年初才竣工，即還要多等最少5年。
That said in reply to a question in the Legislative Council earlier the Government indicated that a new Inland Revenue Tower to be constructed at Kai Tak will only be completed in early 2022 . In other words we will still have to wait another five years at least
此計劃其實早於2008-2009年度的財政預算案中已提出，但政府卻一再蹉跎，為何不能提高辦事效率？
This plan was proposed as early as in the 2008 - 2009 Budget but the Government has all along delayed its implementation . Why cant it improve its efficiency?
希望政府加快檢討，避免珍貴土地一再閒置。
I hope that the Government will expedite the review and prevent precious land from being left idle time and again
另一點，是鼓勵企業遷出核心商業區到其他新發展區去，現時互聯網盛行，企業不一定要在主要商業區開業，故此政府應多推廣宣傳，提供稅務優惠，鼓勵企業在非核心商業區開業。
The other strategy is to encourage enterprises to move from core business districts to other new development areas . Nowadays given the popularity of the Internet enterprises need not operate in prime business districts the Government should thus make more publicity efforts and offer tax concessions so as to encourage enterprises to operate in non - core business districts
希望政府在檢討規劃效率時能多加關注，以解核心商業區商業樓宇需求的燃眉之急。
I hope that the Government will pay more attention when reviewing its planning efficiency so as to address the pressing demand for commercial buildings in core business districts
主席，首先我要感謝各位議員今天就如何更好地規劃，以提供各項社區設施及服務提出了很多寶貴的意見。
President first of all I want to thank the Honourable Members for the valuable advice they have given today on how better planning can be made to provide various community facilities and services
正如我今早在開場發言時強調，政府各相關政策局及部門會因應其負責的政策範疇及發展需要，適時制訂、檢討及更新相關的《香港規劃標準與準則》，大原則是"以人為本"。
As I have emphasized this morning in my opening speech the relevant Policy Bureaux and departments will formulate review and update the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines HKPSG under their purview in a timely manner in accordance with their portfolios and development needs under the guiding principle of people - oriented
在過程中相關政策局和部門自然會考慮收到的意見，有時亦會展開顧問研究，因此指控《規劃標準》修訂時沒有進行諮詢是不公道的。
In the course of it the relevant bureaux and departments will naturally consider the collected views and sometimes commission consultancy study it is therefore unfair to accuse that HKPSG has been revised without consultation
至於個 別設施和服務的實施及推進時間，亦須視乎相關政策局/部門的資源運用優次，以及個別項目在工務工程計劃內的優次。
With regard to the implementation and development schedule of individual facilities and services they are subject to the resource priorities of the relevant bureauxdepartments as well as their priorities under the Public Works Programme
一般而言，政府需要考慮當區人口、現有設施供應和使用率等因素，訂立實施項目的優次。
Generally speaking the Government will take into account the local population provision and utilization of existing facilities and so on in determining the priorities of project implementation
根據過往的經驗，這些項目在實施的時間上往往未能符合議員或當區市民的期望。
Based on past experience the implementation schedule of these projects often fell short of the expectation of Members and local residents
郭偉强議員在剛才發言所舉出的一些閒置用地例子，其實並不是閒置用地，該等用地已定了用途，只不過相關部門在落實其用途時，可能在資源的配合上跟不上，所以出現時間上的一大落差。
The idle land lots cited by Mr KWOK Wai - keung just now are actually not idle lots but have specified use instead . It is only that in the course of implementation the relevant departments have failed to secure the necessary resources and thereby giving rise to a serious time gap
主席，就議員所關注的問題，涉及不同政策局的範疇。
President the issues which Members have expressed concern involve the policy purview of different bureaux
我現在嘗試綜合回應其中數個重點，我的回應中未有覆蓋的，我會在會後把各位的意見轉達相關的政策局和部門，作進一步跟進和考慮。
I will try to give a consolidated reply to a few main points and for issues that have not been covered in my reply I will relay Members views to the relevant bureaux and departments for further action and consideration
一 公眾街市 有多位議員都非常關心公眾街市這個議題，而早前立法會亦有就此進行討論。
1 Public markets A number of Members have expressed grave concern about the issue of public markets and relevant discussions had already been conducted in this Council earlier
