現時的安排可以有效地將有限的公屋資源用於有真正需要的人士及家庭。
Under the current arrangements the limited PRH resources can be effectively provided to people and families with genuine needs
在現行富戶政策下，在香港並無擁有住宅物業，但家庭入息超過現行公屋入息限額2倍但不高於3倍的住戶，須繳交倍半淨租金另加差餉；家庭入息超越現行公屋入息限額3倍但不高於5倍的住戶，則須繳交雙倍淨租金另加差餉。
Under the existing WTP for households who do not have domestic property ownership in Hong Kong if their household income is higher than 2 times but less than 3 times the existing PRH income limits they will be required to pay 1.5 times net rent plus rates; if their household income is higher than 3 times but less than 5 times the existing PRH income limits they will be required to pay double net rent plus rates
我們相信這已是平衡了大家訴求的一個安排。
We believe this arrangement has struck a balance among the peoples aspirations
寬敞戶政策方面，房委會一直透過要求居住面積超出標準的寬敞戶遷往其他合適的公屋單位，收回較大的單位，以重新編配予人數較多的輪候公屋家庭或擠迫戶。
As regards the under - occupation policy HA has been recovering larger flats for re - allocation to larger families on the PRH waiting list or overcrowded households by requiring under - occupation households with excessive living space to move to another PRH unit of a more appropriate size
過去5年，房委會平均每年處理約2,200宗個案。
In the past five years HA handled about 2 200 cases on average each year
除此以外，房委會亦於2019年12月推出措施，讓所有家庭成員均年滿70歲的全長者寬敞戶，如他們選擇調遷至面積較 小的公屋單位後，可享有終身租金全免。
Besides in December 2019 HA introduced a measure whereby under - occupation households whose family members are all aged 70 or above will enjoy full rent exemption for life if they choose to move to smaller PRH units
截至上月底，房委會共批出約390宗申請，當中86戶已接受編配。
As at the end of last month HA has approved about 390 applications of which 86 households have accepted the allocation
我們相信以上的政策，是切合社會對確保公屋資源得以有效運用的期望。
We believe that the aforesaid policy can meet the expectation in society on ensuring effective utilization of PRH resources
除了將公屋資源聚焦分配予有需要的人士，將公屋租金定於租戶可負擔的水平同樣重要，亦是我們一貫的政策。
Apart from focusing PRH resources on those in need it is equally important to set the PRH rent at an affordable level which is our established policy
《房屋條例》訂明，房委會需要按照法定機制每兩年檢討公屋租金一次，並需要按該次租金檢討中收入指數的變動結果調整公屋租金。
The Housing Ordinance stipulates that HA shall review the PRH rent every two years in accordance with the statutory mechanism and adjust the rent based on the change in the income index worked out in that rental review
上調租金設有10%的"封頂"安排，下調租金時則不設下限。
There is a 10 % cap in the case of rent increase while there is no lower limit in the case of rent reduction
另外，《房屋條例》亦訂明，房委會可按其認為適合的期間，減免租戶的租金。
In addition the Housing Ordinance provides that HA may remit tenants rent for such a period as it thinks fit
上述機制一方面為房委會提供客觀的基礎，以租戶的負擔能力決定何時應調整公屋租金及調整的幅度，另一方面亦給房委會足夠彈性，適時對居民多加協助。
On the one hand the said mechanism provides an objective basis for HA to determine when the PRH rent should be adjusted and by how much taking into account the tenants affordability . On the other hand it provides sufficient flexibility for HA to offer more assistance to the residents in a timely manner
因應2019冠狀病毒病疫情對整體社會經濟造成衝擊，以至對公屋租戶所帶來的影響，在平衡公屋租戶的負擔能力，以及房委會的財務健康和可持續發展後，房委會在去年7月調整公屋租金時，亦通過為公屋租戶在去年9月及今年9月提供租金寬免。
In view of the impact of the COVID - 19 epidemic on the overall socio - economic environment and PRH tenants after striking a balance between the PRH tenants affordability and the healthy and sustainable development of HAs finances HA approved the provision of the rent waiver to PRH tenants in September last year and September this year when it adjusted the PRH rent in July last year
正如我剛才所說，除了為低收入家庭提供可以負擔的租住房屋外，透過推出資助出售單位回應中低收入家庭的置業訴求亦是房屋政策的重要一環。
As I said just now apart from providing affordable rental housing for low - income families an important part of the housing policy is to address the home ownership aspirations of low - and middle - income families through the introduction of subsidized sale flats
有關的定價政策和選樓優次亦為市民所關注。
The pricing policy and flat selection priorities are also of public concern
我希望在此簡單闡述現行的政策和理念。
I wish to briefly explain the current policy and philosophy here
房委會於2018年恆常化綠表置居計劃時亦決定，綠置居單位的折扣率會較上一次居屋銷售計劃的折扣率高10%。
In regularizing the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme GSH in 2018 HA also decided that GSH flats would be sold at a discount of 10 % more than that in the preceding sale exercise of the Home Ownership Scheme
除了讓資助出售單位的定價為買家所能負擔，我們亦要確保較有置業需要的申請者，可以在選樓時享有較高優次，達致有效運用房屋資源。
Apart from making subsidized sale flats affordable to buyers we also need to ensure that applicants with a greater need for home ownership can enjoy higher priority in flat selection so as to achieve effective utilization of housing resources
就此，房委會於每個銷售計劃開售前，制訂相關銷售細節，包括不同類別申請者的選樓優次。
In this regard before the commencement of each sale exercise HA will work out the details on the sale including the flat selection priority for different categories of applicants
以房委會於今年3月通過的綠置居2020-2021銷售安排為例，申請者的選樓優次依次為：受房委會已公布清拆計劃影響的家庭申請者、家有長者優先選樓計劃的家庭申請者、其他家庭申請者、受房委會已公布清拆計劃影響的一人申請者， 最後為一人申請者。
Take the sales arrangements for GSH 2020 - 2021 approved by HA in March this year as an example . The priority in flat selection for applicants is as follows family applicants affected by HAs announced clearance programmes family applicants applying under the Priority Scheme for Families with Elderly Members other family applicants one - person applicants affected by HAs announced clearance programmes and the last one other one - person applicants
現時的選樓優次，在公營房屋供應仍然緊絀的情況下，大致能平衡各方期望。
The current flat selection priority can basically strike a balance among the expectations of various parties despite the tight supply of public housing
當然，我們希望日後土地供應足夠的時候，我們可以滿足所有輪候申請人的期望。
Of course we hope that we will be able to satisfy the expectations of all the applicants on the waiting list when there is sufficient land supply in the future
另外，我亦希望藉此機會，分享公營房屋發展項目所應用的新科技。
Besides I wish to take this opportunity to share with Members the new technology applied in public housing development projects
因應2017年施政報告建議引入"組裝合成"建築法，房委會從技術角度，積極探討把"組裝合成"建築法應用於公營房屋項目的可行性，希望透過新技術，"因地制宜"加快建築流程及提升效率。
In response to the proposal in the 2017 Policy Address to introduce the modular integrated construction MiC HA has been actively exploring the feasibility of applying MiC in public housing projects from a technical perspective with a view to expediting the construction process and enhancing efficiency through the use of new technology which is site - specific
房委會已選定東涌第99區一幢12層高的住宅大廈為應用"組裝合成"建築法的先導項目。
HA has selected a 12 - storey residential block in Area 99 Tung Chung to conduct a pilot project for the application of MiC
項目將於今年內開展，預期在2024年完成。
The project will commence within this year and is expected to be completed in 2024
房委會亦會將德田街一幢33層高的住宅大廈，以及安達臣道石礦場兩幢28層高及另外一幢17層高的住宅大廈作為下一輪採用"組裝合成"建築法的項目，以制訂"組裝合成"建築法適用於不同工地限制下的解決方案。
A 33 - storey residential block in Tak Tin Street as well as two 28 - storey and one 17 - storey residential blocks at Anderson Road Quarry have also been selected for the next round of projects applying MiC so as to formulate solutions using MiC under different site constraints
房委會會繼續積極選取更多適合採用"組裝合成"建築法的項目，務求充分利用技術發展的優勢，為有需要的市民興建適切的居所。
HA will continue to actively select more projects suitable for adopting MiC with a view to fully leveraging on the advantages of technological development to construct adequate housing for people in need
代理主席，就私營房屋方面，政府一直致力維持私人住宅物業市場的健康發展。
Deputy President in respect of private housing the Government has been committed to maintaining the healthy development of the private residential property market
除積極開拓土地，加快土地平整以至基礎建設，增加土地及房屋供應外，政府亦運用需求管理措施以穩定住宅樓市，包括額外印花稅、買家印花稅及新住宅印花稅。
Apart from actively expanding land resources and expediting land formation and infrastructure development to increase land and housing supply the Government has also adopted demand - side management measures to stabilize the residential property market including the Special Stamp Duty Buyers Stamp Duty and New Residential Stamp Duty
政府會一如既往，繼續留意住宅物業市場的情況和參考相關指標，適當的時候會採取合適的措施回應市場變化。
As in the past the Government will continue to monitor the situation in the residential property market and draw reference from relevant indicators . It will take proper measures to respond to changes in the market when appropriate
政府在去年年底公布已覓得足夠土地滿足未來10年公營房屋單位的供應目標後，社會上有意見認為我們已有足夠空間，進一步提升市民的人均居住面積。
Following the Governments announcement at the end of last year that it had identified sufficient land to meet the target for the supply of public housing units in the next 10 years there is a view in society that we have sufficient space to further increase the average living space per person
社會上有這個想法和建議，我們十分理解。
We fully appreciate this view and suggestion in society
政府積極覓地和造地當然是希望改善市民的居住質素，包括環境和空間，市民固然都希望"住大啲、住鬆啲"。
In actively identifying and creating land the Government certainly seeks to improve the peoples quality of living including the environment and space as there is no doubt that people wish to have a more spacious living environment
但是，縱使政府已努力增加土地和房屋供應，香港整體可作公營房屋發展的資源仍然有限。
However despite the Governments efforts to increase the land and housing supply the overall resources available for public housing development in Hong Kong are still limited
因此，我們必須按緩急先後善用土地資源。
Hence we must make optimal use of land resources based on the order of priority
目前，我們最迫切需要處理的是房屋供應短缺的問題。
At present the most pressing problem we need to address is the shortage of housing supply
我們必須先利用有限的土地資源提供更多單位，盡快解決有需要家庭，例如居於不適切居所的家庭，以及輪候公屋已久的申請者等住屋問題。
We must first make use of the limited land resources to provide more flats to resolve the housing problem of families in need such as those living in inadequate housing and applicants who have been waiting for PRH for a long time
長遠而言，預期土地和房屋供應到位及穩定時，公屋平均輪候時間大幅縮減後，我們可適時探討能否及如何進一步提升居於公屋、資助出售單位以至私人住宅單位的市民的居住空間。
In the long run it is expected that when the land and housing supply becomes available and stable the average waiting time for PRH will be substantially reduced after which we can explore in due course whether and in what way the living space of people residing in PRH subsidized sale flats and private residential flats can be further increased
就這方面而言，我 們必須深入研究並作全盤考慮，包括增加人均居住面積對公屋平均輪候時間以至整體公營房屋發展的影響、怎樣按新標準處理單位的分配和調遷安排等。
In this regard we must conduct an in - depth study and give consideration in a holistic manner including the impact of increasing the average living space per person on the average waiting time for PRH and the overall public housing development and how to handle the allocation and transfer arrangements in accordance with the new standards
我們和大家的想法一樣，不過我們需要先處理當前輪候公屋的超過15萬個家庭、10萬個單身申請者，以及居於不適切居所的11萬戶家庭。
We share Members views but we need to first deal with the more than 150 000 families currently on the PRH waiting list 100 000 singleton applicants and 110 000 households living in inadequate housing
除房屋政策外，議員亦建議重組政府架構下的房屋、土地、運輸及環保政策範疇。
Apart from the housing policy Members have proposed to reorganize the government structure in respect of the policy areas of housing land transport and environmental protection
重組政策局是重要課題，涉及複雜的考量、籌備及修例工作，過程需時，不能一蹴而就。
Reorganization of Policy Bureaux is an important issue which involves complicated considerations preparations and legislative amendments . The process takes time and cannot be achieved overnight
政府會就如何整合和提升土地、房屋、運輸及環保政策工作，繼續聆聽各方意見，務求精益求精。
The Government will continue to listen to the views of all parties on how to consolidate and enhance the policies on land housing transport and environmental protection in order to strive for excellence
代理主席，我和兩位副局長會在聆聽各位議員在辯論中的發言後，再作適當補充和進一步回應。
Deputy President the two Under Secretaries and I will add information and make further responses as appropriate after listening to the speeches made by Members in the debate
我感謝剛才3位議員的發言，亦希望他們日後對我們的土地及房屋建設，以及為基層市民提供公屋方面多給意見及支持，謝謝。
I am grateful to the three Members who have just spoken . I hope that in the future they will give us more advice and support on land and housing development as well as the provision of PRH for the grass roots . Thank you
我現在請吳永嘉議員動議修正案。
I now call upon Mr Jimmy NG to move an amendment
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：吳永嘉議員動議的修正案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the amendment moved by Mr Jimmy NG be passed
沒有了製造業，特別是沒有了先進的生產後，對經濟有甚麼影響？
Without the manufacturing industry especially advanced production what are the impacts on the economy?
青年可以選擇的工種狹窄了很多，很多人入讀大學時選修的科目也與服務業有關，例如商科、專業、法律、會計、酒店等服務性行業。
The range of jobs which young people may choose has become much narrower . The subjects taken by university students are mostly related to the service industry such as business professional service law accounting and hotel service
青年人可以選擇的工種大幅減少，我甚至知道有些數、理、化成績優秀的同學成為了記者。
The types of jobs available to young people have substantially reduced . I even know that some students with excellent results in mathematics physics and chemistry have become journalists
第二，一些與先進生產機械工程有關的技能和興趣在社會上流失，令到現時例如港機工程經常聘請不到人手，因為青年人已經對這些用手生產的工作失去興趣。
Moreover there has been a loss of skills and interest in advanced mechanical engineering in society . Consequently now companies such as Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Limited HAECO are often unable to recruit manpower as young people have lost interest in manual production work
我們經常聽到港機工程聘請不到人手，甚至較低層次的電梯、冷氣維修也聘請不到人手，令到香港社會勞工的所謂skill set狹窄了很多，香港變成只是服務業的經濟，流失了很多技能及職位。
We often hear that HAECO is unable to recruit manpower which is unavailable even for such lower - level work as escalator and air - conditioning maintenance . The so - called skill set of the labour force in Hong Kong society has thus become much narrower . Hong Kong has been reduced to a service economy having lost many skills and jobs
這種情況曾在日本出現，被稱為日本工業的"空洞化"，因為其製造業同樣追求廉價勞工和土地，遷離了日本。
Such a situation was once seen in Japan . It was called the hollowing out of Japanese industries since its manufacturing industry had similarly moved out from Japan in the quest for cheap labour and land
美國現時知道出現了嚴重的問題，特別是發覺半導體生產已完全遷移到亞洲的台灣及韓國，所以要急起直追。
The United States is now aware that a serious problem has emerged especially since it found that semiconductor production has entirely relocated to Taiwan and Korea in Asia . So it has to rouse itself to catch up
我當然支持香港再工業化，但我想指出，過往香港在工業的成就不單靠政府支持，而是市場的推動。
I certainly support the re - industrialization of Hong Kong but I would like to point out that Hong Kongs industrial achievements in the past did not rely solely on the Governments support . Rather it relied on the promotion of the market
如果政府支持，不論是誰提出要有財政或資源上的支持，我覺得資源一定要用得到位。
If the Government is to provide support no matter who requests financial or resource support I think such resources must be used properly
政府在特別會議前已按其承諾就所有問題提供答覆。
The Administration according to the undertaking it made earlier submitted replies to all questions before the special meetings
主席，我支持謝偉銓議員提出的"改革房屋政策，解決住屋問題"議案，感謝柯創盛議員及郭偉强議員提出修正案，亦感謝局長剛才用了很多時間替我們重溫房屋政策，但重溫完畢後，我似乎看不到局長對今天的議案有很多正面回應。
President I support the motion on Reforming the housing policy to resolve the housing problem proposed by Mr Tony TSE . I am grateful to Mr Wilson OR and Mr KWOK Wai - keung for proposing their amendments and I also thank the Secretary for spending a lot of time to recap the housing policy for us just now . But after the recap it seems I cannot find many positive responses from the Secretary to todays motion
指標非常重要，今天的議案及修正案均提到幾個指標，包括人均居住面積指標、"三年上樓"的指標，以及合理租金釐定的指標。
Standards are highly important . The motion and the amendments today have mentioned several standards including the standard for the average living space per person the standard of three - year waiting time for public rental housing PRH allocation and the standard for determining a reasonable rent level
事實上，我明白這些指標難以釐定，但這些指標的訂立，正正代表特區政府對房屋政策和房屋改革有多少承擔、願意做多少工作。
In fact I understand that it is difficult to set these standards but the formulation of these standards precisely represents how committed the SAR Government is to the housing policy and housing reform and how much work it is willing to do
撥出數百個甚至2,000個單位，日後便可增加數萬個單位，如此簡單的數學題，他們都計算不到，原因只有一個，就是各部門只顧着自己的成績單，不願意協調，這是一個阻礙香港房屋發展的具體例子。
If they allocated a few hundred or even 2 000 flats there would be several ten thousand additional flats in the future . It was such a simple mathematics question but they failed to work it out . There was only one reason that is each department just cared about its own report card and was thus unwilling to coordinate with others
所以，我十分支持議案提到要重組政府架構，以及加強協調。
This is a specific example of obstruction to Hong Kongs housing development . For this reason I strongly support the proposal in the motion on reorganizing the government structure and enhancing coordination
由於時間關係，我希望政府就指標和架構等範疇回應我時，可以具體一點。
Given the time constraint I hope that the Government can be more specific in its response to me on such areas as standards and structure
主席，我謹此發言，支持議案，多謝。
With these remarks President I support the motion . Thank you
代理主席，我謹動議二讀《2021年業主與租客條例草案》。
Deputy President I move the Second Reading of the Landlord and Tenant Amendment Bill 2021 the Bill
政府一直關心居於"分間單位"住戶的情況。
The Government has all along been concerned about the situation of households living in subdivided units
行政長官去年宣布成立"劏房"租務管制研究工作小組，研究應否在香港實施"劏房"租務管制及其可行方案，以保障"劏房"租客的權益。
Last year the Chief Executive announced the establishment of the Task Force for the Study on Tenancy Control of Subdivided Units to study whether tenancy control on subdivided units should be implemented in Hong Kong and the possible options so as to protect the rights and interests of tenants of subdivided units
因應社會的關注，工作小組提前3個月完成研究，並在今年3月底向政府提交報告，建議政府實施適當的"劏房"租務管制，並提出規管框架和一系列的措施。
In response to the concerns of the community the Task Force completed its study three months ahead of schedule and submitted a report to the Government at the end of March this year recommending the Government to introduce rent control on subdivided units as appropriate as well as proposing a regulatory framework and a host of measures
正如我們於今年4月26日向立法會房屋事務委員會轄下過渡性房屋及劏房事宜小組委員會匯報，政府經過仔細考慮工作小組的報告之後，認為擬議的租務管制措施如果得以落實，是可以達致我們為"劏房"租客提供合理保障的政策目標。
As we reported to the Subcommittee on Issues Relating to Transitional Housing and Subdivided Units under the Panel on Housing of the Legislative Council on 26 April this year the Government after careful consideration of the report of the Task Force considered that the proposed rent control measures if implemented could achieve the policy objective of providing reasonable protection to tenants of subdivided units
委員普遍表示支持，並敦促政府盡快向立法會提交相關條例草案，令"劏房"租務管制措施能早日落實。
Members in general support the proposal and have urged the Government to introduce the relevant bill into the Legislative Council as soon as possible to facilitate the early implementation of rent control measures on subdivided units
行政長官在今年2月4日的立法會答問會上承諾，政府會在今個立法年度向立法會提交條例草案，以盡早實施"劏房"租務管制。
At the Chief Executives Question and Answer Session of the Legislative Council on 4 February this year the Chief Executive undertook that the Government would introduce a bill into the Legislative Council in the current legislative session to implement tenancy control on subdivided units as soon as possible
我們已完成有關法例的草擬工作，行政長官會同行政會議於上星期二同意政府將《條例草案》提交立法會審議。
We have completed the drafting of the relevant legislation and the Chief Executive in Council agreed last Tuesday that the Government would introduce the Bill into the Legislative Council for scrutiny
我們在草擬法例的過程中，最大的挑戰是如何在法律層面定義"劏房"和訂立規管範圍。
In the course of drafting the legislation the greatest challenge is how to define subdivided units at the legal level and delineate the scope of regulation
我們知道，"劏房"除了存在於住宅大廈，亦存在於工商大廈，以至"天台屋"、"平台屋"等臨時構築物。
As we know subdivided units exist not only in residential buildings but also in commercial and industrial buildings as well as temporary structures such as rooftop huts and podium huts
事實上，部分"劏房"可能涉及非法使用土地或僭建物。
In fact some subdivided units may involve illegal land use or unauthorized building structures
若然租務管制涵蓋這類不合法的"劏房"，可能會發放錯誤信息，令公眾誤以為政府把這類非法"劏房""合法化"。
If tenancy control covers such illegal subdivided units it may convey a wrong message to the public that the Government has legitimized such illegal subdivided units
我們亦明白居住在這類"劏房"的租客，相對於居住在一般住宅大廈內的"劏房"的租客更為弱勢，因此更需要租務管制措施的保障。
We also understand that tenants living in such subdivided units are more vulnerable than those living in subdivided units in ordinary residential buildings and are therefore in greater need of protection under the rent control measures
工作小組、關注團體和來自不同主要政黨的立法會議員亦普遍認為，"劏房"租務管制應盡可能讓更多"劏房"租客受到保障。
The Task Force concern groups and Members from different major political parties and groupings of the Legislative Council in general consider that tenancy control on subdivided units should protect as many tenants of subdivided units as possible
有見及此，現時《條例草案》已涵蓋位於不同類型的建築物，包括住宅大廈和工商大廈的"劏房"。
In view of this the Bill now covers subdivided units located in different types of buildings including residential buildings and commercial and industrial buildings
一般而言，亦包括位於這些大廈的板間房、床位、太空倉、閣樓、籠屋，以至"天台屋"和"平台屋"等不同類型的"劏房"。
Generally speaking it also covers different types of subdivided units in these buildings such as cubicles bedspaces capsules cocklofts cage homes as well as rooftop and podium units
儘管如此，我們必須強調，《條例草案》並不是將位於工商大廈或臨時構築物內的非法"劏房""合法化"。
Nevertheless we must emphasize that the Bill does not legitimize illegal subdivided units located in commercial and industrial buildings or temporary structures
實施租務管制不會影響相關政府部門按照現行法例採取的執法行動，特別是在建築物安全和消防安全方面。
The implementation of tenancy control will not affect the enforcement actions taken by the relevant government departments under the existing legislation particularly in respect of building safety and fire safety
《條例草案》建議的租務管制框架，包括強制規定"劏房"業主與租客簽立訂明雙方權利和責任的書面租賃協議；為租客提供為期4年的租住權保障；限制續租時的租金加幅，規定須參照差餉物業估價署所有類別私人住宅物業租金指數的變動，並以每兩年15%為上限；以及禁止業主向租客濫收公用設施費用等。
The proposed tenancy control framework under the Bill includes mandatory execution of a written tenancy agreement between the landlord and the tenant of a subdivided unit setting out the rights and obligations of both parties . It also includes providing a four - year security of tenure to tenants; restricting the level of rent increase upon tenancy renewal every two years with reference to the index of all classes of private residential properties compiled by the Rating and Valuation Department subject to a cap of 15 % ; and prohibiting landlords from overcharging tenants utility fees etc
我們認為，實施建議的租務管制措施，可以達致我們為"劏房"租客提供合理保障的政策目標，在不過度削弱"劏房"業主利益和財產權的情況下，為"劏房"的租客提供租住權保障，避免他們被業主濫收水電費，以及避免他們在續租時被業主任意加租。
We consider that the implementation of the proposed rent control measures can achieve our policy objective of providing reasonable protection to tenants of subdivided units . Without unduly undermining the interests and property rights of owners of subdivided units these measures provide security of tenure to tenants of subdivided units sparing them from being overcharged by landlords for water and electricity charges and arbitrary rent increases imposed by landlords upon tenancy renewal
代理主席，"劏房"租務管制是一個非常複雜和極具爭議的課題。
Deputy President tenancy control on subdivided units is a very complicated and controversial issue
我希望立法會能在今個立法年度完結前盡快完成審議及通過《條 例草案》，讓"劏房"的租務管制措施能夠早日落實。
I hope that the Legislative Council will complete the scrutiny and passage of the Bill as soon as possible before the end of the current legislative session so that the tenancy control measures on subdivided units can be implemented expeditiously
我們會全力配合立法會審議《條例草案》的工作，並會繼續聆聽議員及市民的意見。
We will fully cooperate with the Legislative Council in its scrutiny of the Bill and will continue to listen to the views of Members and the public
主席，在"黑暴"、新冠病毒疫症、大國博弈等因素夾擊下，香港自2019年第三季開始，經歷了連續6個季度的經濟收縮，是有紀錄以來最長的衰退期。
President having been hit by factors such as riots the coronavirus disease and conflicts between super powers Hong Kong has suffered economic contraction for six consecutive quarters since the third quarter of 2019 making it the longest recession on record
在經濟陷入低谷的時候，更凸顯傳統支柱產業增長乏力、經濟結構過於單一的弊病。
The economic doldrums have highlighted the maladies of lacklustre growth in traditional pillar industries and an overly homogeneous economic structure
香港經濟要長久繁榮，必須推動多元經濟發展。
In order for Hong Kongs economy to prosper in the long run it is necessary to promote the development of a diversified economy
