事實上，涉及免遣返聲請的問題眾多，現時的審核程序也有不少需要優化的地方。
There are indeed plenty of problems associated with non - refoulement claims and considerable room for improvement with regard to the existing screening process
我認為政府應該研究是否收緊程序，包括明確規定聲請人須在抵港後的指定時間內提出聲請，避免一些來港工作人士，在簽證到期時才提出免遣返聲請，以求可以繼續留在香港。
I advise the Government to consider tightening the process which includes implementing such measures as stipulating a specified period for claimants to lodge claims after arriving Hong Kong so as to eliminate cases where incoming workers lodge non - refoulement claims only when their visas are about to expire so as to extend their stay in Hong Kong
規定聲請者在指定時間內提出聲請，既可縮短他們的留港時間，也可減少他們來港當非法勞工的誘因。
Providing a specified time frame for lodging claims can help shorten claimants stay in Hong Kong and dampen their incentive to come and work as illegal workers in the territory
主席，為了加快審核現時大量積壓的聲請個案，保安局在11月11日的保安事務委員會會議上表示，打算推出法律支援試驗計劃，透過設立一批由律師組成的輔助名單，以補當值律師服務計劃的不足。
President in the meeting of the Panel on Security held on 11 November the Security Bureau revealed that in order to expedite the screening of the large number of outstanding claims at hand the Government was planning for a legal assistance pilot scheme on a supplementary roster of lawyers to complement the DLS
政府聘請律師或大律師後，如果由一些沒有經驗的人提供相關支援服務，包括接見個案人士及負責行政工作等，會否令律師承擔更大的法律風險，甚至可能會造成更多上訴個案，令處理聲請個案所需的時間變得更長？
If solicitors or barristers hired by the Government are not supported by experienced staff in giving interviews to the persons concerned and in rendering administrative assistance will these lawyers stand an even higher legal risk? . Will more appeals be generated thus prolonging the processing time for claims?
事實上，除了我之外，不少法律界人士對這個試驗計劃的內容和具體運作，也有很多疑問和不清晰的地方。
Indeed many legal professionals apart from me have raised a lot of queries and pointed out various areas needing clarification with regard to the content and specific operation of this pilot scheme
但入境處尚未弄澄清這些疑問，已經急不及待在11月中向所有當值律師名冊內的律師發信，介紹有關試驗計劃，並邀請他們參與。
Yet before these queries are duly addressed the Immigration Department jumped the gun in mid - November writing to all lawyers on the DLS roster so as to brief them and invite them to join the pilot scheme
我希望政府在計劃推行之前，先正視有關問題，及早妥善處理，以免影響計劃的推行和成效。
I hope the Government can properly consider the relevant problems and deal with them appropriately before launching the scheme so as to avoid compromising its implementation and efficacy
此外，我建議政府研究，如何透過改善和優化現有的傳譯安排，進一步提升個案的處理效率，以及加強和善用資訊和通訊科技，包括引入電視直播聯繫和電話中心，讓聲請人透過這些通訊科技與負責個案的律師和傳譯人即時對話，相信可以加快處理現時積壓的個案。
Furthermore I advise the Government to consider improving and enhancing the existing interpretation service to further raise the efficiency of the screening process . On top of this the use of information and communication technology including the introduction of live television link and call centres should be strengthened and capitalized on so as to allow instant communication between claimants and case lawyers and interpreters with a view to speeding up the processing of outstanding claims
事實上，在現行的司法制度下，已有法例規管以電視直播聯繫方式向法庭提供證據的程序，並且行之有效，很值得在免遣返聲請的過程中引入。
There are actually laws regulating the presentation of evidence to the Court through live television under the existing judicial system . Given the effectiveness of the measure it should be introduced to the screening process for non - refoulement claims
主席，不少國家在處理難民或尋求庇護人士的經驗，均值得香港參考。
President many foreign countries have a wealth of experience for Hong Kong to draw on with regard to handling refugees and asylum seekers
例如，澳洲政府處理難民庇護申請時，如果申請人無法親身前往澳洲移民局辦理相關程序，入境官員會考慮以視像設施或電話與申請人對話，節省交通時間和人力成本。
One of the examples is the Australian Governments handling of refugee protection application . An immigration officer in Australia may talk to an applicant for refugee protection via video facilities or telephone if the latter cannot go to the immigration office in person to complete the relevant procedures so as to reduce transportation time and manpower cost
此外，澳洲移民及邊境保護部亦提供翻譯及傳譯服務，為有需要人士提供24小時全年無休，超過160種語言的即時電話傳譯服務。
Additionally the Australian Government Department of Immigration and Border Protection provides round - the - clock translation and interpretation service to people in need throughout the year and renders instant telephone service in more than 160 languages
我相信澳洲在這方面的經驗值得香港參考。
Hong Kong should draw reference from Australia in this regard
主席，免遣返聲請及其引發的問題已對香港造成一定的影響，我希望政府全面檢討現有的審核機制，早日紓解這個問題。
President non - refoulement claims and their resultant problems have brought about quite a number of repercussions to Hong Kong . We hope the Government can conduct a comprehensive review of the existing screening mechanism for early alleviation of the problem
代理主席，多謝張華峰議員提出"制訂全面上市政策"這項議案，以及涂謹申議員剛才提出的修正案，並提到在國際慣例上，上市政策和上市審批等程序。
Deputy President I would like to thank Mr Christopher CHEUNG for moving the motion on Formulating a comprehensive listing policy and Mr James TO for moving the amendment just now with regard to listing policy vetting and approval procedures for listings and so on under international norms
針對香港的情況，特區政府一直致力提升香港作為國際金融中心的地位，吸引更多海內外資金投資香港證券市場，與張華峰議員的出發點完全一致。
In relation to Hong Kongs situation the SAR Government has been committed to raising Hong Kongs status as an international financial hub and attracting more Mainland and overseas capital to invest into the local securities market . Our consideration fully tallies with what Mr Christopher CHEUNG has said
聆聽議員發言後，我會就各項議題作整體回應。
After listening to Members speeches I will provide an overall response to various issues
首先談談香港證券市場的變化。
First let me talk about changes that have taken place in the Hong Kong securities market
香港現行的上市規管架構於2000年代訂立，當時的證券市場規模明顯較小，結構亦遠較目前簡單。
The existing listing regulatory structure was formulated in the 2000s when the securities market was remarkably smaller in scale and far simpler in structure
在過去10多年來，我們的市場經歷了大幅增長，而且變得非常複雜。
In the last 10 years or so our market has undergone impressive growth and become very complex
具體來說，過去10年，在香港上市的公司數目由1,135家上升至去年年底1,866家，升幅達64%，而總市值則由8兆1,000億港元上升3倍至去年年底24兆6,000億港元。
Specifically in the last decade or so the number of firms listed in Hong Kong has increased 64 % from 1 135 to 1 866 as of late last year . Their total market value has risen two times from 8.1 trillion to 24.6 trillion as of late last year
以往市場主要以服務本地的公司及業務為主，現在已演變成為內地及海外公司首選的集資中心。
Previously the market primarily served local firms and local businesses but now it has become the premiere capital formation centre for Mainland and overseas companies
香港市場一直對國際投資者開放，而我們在科技、監管及金融服務等方面的發展，亦令市場參與者能夠更容易從外地直接參與香港的市場。
The Hong Kong market has always been open to international investors and our development in technology governance and financial services helps overseas market participants directly involve in the Hong Kong market
香港證券市場在規模及複雜程度已經歷了巨大演變，故此有需要為應對現今的市場環境，設置一套切合時宜的審批流程及模式。
The Hong Kong securities market has gone through tremendous changes in terms of scale and complexity necessitating the establishment of a set of updated procedures and model for vetting and approval to cater to the current market situation
正如財政司司長在2016-2017年度財政預算案中指出，面對龐大而複雜的證券市場，我們須不斷檢視有關規管制度、精簡程序、提升市場效率和質素，鞏固香港作為首選集資中心的地位。
As pointed out by the Financial Secretary in the 2016 - 2017 Budget given the size and complexity of the securities market we need to constantly review the relevant regulatory regime streamline procedures enhance market efficiency and quality so as to reinforce Hong Kongs status as the premiere capital formation centre
證監會及港交所在今年6月就"建議改善香港聯合交易所有限公司的上市監管決策及管治架構"展開聯合諮詢，目的就是令上市監管架構及流程更能應對市場迅速的發展。
SFC and HKEx conducted in June this year a joint consultation on Proposed Enhancements to the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limiteds Decision - Making and Governance Structure for Listing Regulation with the aim of enabling the listing regulatory structure and procedures to better respond to rapid developments in the market
政府歡迎證監會與港交所就這個重要的課題進行聯合諮詢。
The Government welcomes SFC and HKExs joint consultation on such an important issue
諮詢文件建議香港聯合交易所有限公司增設兩個委員會，即"上市政策委員會"及"上市監管委員會"。
The consultation paper proposes the addition of two committees to The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited SEHK that is the Listing Policy Committee LPC and the Listing Regulatory Committee LRC
上市政策委員會處理上市政策，上市監管委員會則處理涉及合適性問題或具更廣泛影響的上市個案或申請。
LPC will work on listing policy whereas LRC will deal with cases or applications that involve suitability issues or have broader policy implications
諮詢文件旨在引進更多一站式處理，讓證監會及聯交所有更集中的平台，更早處理對市場質素、競爭力及發展重要的政策及決策，以及簡化上市申請程序，令審批流程更有效率。
The consultation paper aims at introducing further one - stop processing and providing a more focused platform for SFC and SEHK to tackle policies and decisions that are significant to the quality competitiveness and development of the market at an earlier stage . The paper also aims at streamlining the process for initial listing applications with a view to enhancing the efficiency of the vetting and approval process
張華峰議員的議案提及，有意見關注落實建議會否干擾現時的上市程序及削弱香港證券市場的長遠發展。
As mentioned in Mr Christopher CHEUNGs motion some views are concerned that once the proposals are implemented they may disrupt the current listing process for companies and undermine the long - term development of the Hong Kong securities market
議案亦建議政府在認真聆聽業界就諮詢文件發表的意見後，審慎制訂全面的上市政策及釐清上市合適性的定義。
The motion also suggests the Government seriously listen to the views expressed by the industry on the consultation paper prudently formulate a comprehensive listing policy and clarify the definition of suitability for listing
上市政策方面，諮詢文件建議的上市政策委員會討論有關市場質素、競爭力及發展重要的政策議題。
Regarding listing policy the consultation paper suggests LPC discuss policy issues important to the quality competitiveness and development of the market
上市政策委員會的成立讓證監會及聯交所有一個更為集中的平台，以便更早處理重要的政策及決策。
The establishment of LPC provides SFC and SEHK a more focused platform to tackle important policies and decisions at an earlier stage
這樣可加強協調、提升效率，從而作出及時和經周詳考慮的決策。
The proposal will bring about better coordination higher efficiency and thus is conducive to making timely and thoroughly considered decisions
至於合適性定義方面，合適性規定早已納入《上市規則》多時。
About the definition of suitability provisions on suitability have long been introduced to the Listing Rules
聯交所須認為發行人及其業務適合上市，才可批准上市。
The SEHK will only grant listing permission when in its opinion both the issuer and its business are suitable for listing
聯交所根據其過往作出的決定，曾就此議題發表指引。
With reference to its previous rulings the SEHK has issued guidelines on this issue
就諮詢文件內建議將有合適性問題的申請交由上市監管委員會處理，證監會及港交所已注意到市場有意見希望釐清合適性定義。
SFC and HKEx have noted with regard to the consultation papers proposal to let applications with suitability issue to be decided by LRC market views which seek a clarification of the definition of suitability
證監會及港交所將會分析及考慮就諮詢文件所收集到的所有意見書，包括上述有關合適性定義的意見。
SFC and HKEx will analyse and consider all the submissions collected in relation to the consultation paper including the above comments on the definition of suitability
正如我們在本月9日的立法會會議上指出，證監會及港交所持開放的態度，聆聽市場的意見。
As we said on the Council meeting held on the ninth this month SFC and HKEx will keep an open mind and listen to market views
諮詢進行至今，我們看見各持份者對諮詢建議十分關注，並提出了很多不同的意見，政府樂見業界的踴躍反應。
Since the launch of the consultation we have observed stakeholders who are highly concerned about the consultation proposals put forth a large number of different views . The Government is pleased to see the overwhelming response of the industry
事實上，證監會及港交所已把諮詢的回應期限延長兩個月至本月18日結束，令諮詢期長達5個月，讓各界人士有足夠時間和更多機會提交意見。
In fact SFC and HKEx have pushed back the consultation feedback deadline for two months till the 18 of this month extending the consultation period to five months so as to allow enough time and more opportunities for people from all sides to file their comments
諮詢期剛剛結束。
The consultation has recently come to a close
證監會及港交所已表示會審慎地考慮及分析所有收到的意見和建議，以擬備有關的諮詢總結，並在適當時候發表。
SFC and HKEx have indicated they will prudently consider and analyse all comments and suggestions gathered and prepare a conclusion for the consultation to be released at appropriate time
就議員今天發表的意見，證監會及港交所亦會細心聆聽和考慮。
SFC and HKEx will also carefully listen to and consider the views provided by Members today
代理主席，我暫發言至此，待議員發言後，會再作整體回應，多謝代理主席。
Deputy President I will stop for now and let Members speak before giving an overall response . Thank you Deputy President
代理主席，針對現時證券市場的發展趨勢，我同意張華峰議員的議案和涂謹申議員的修正案。
Deputy President in view of the current development trend of the securities market I agree to Mr Christopher CHEUNGs motion and Mr James TOs amendment
香港聯合交易所有限公司和證券及期貨事務監察委員會今年發表的"建議改善香港聯合交易所有限公司的上市監管決策及管治架構"聯合諮詢文件，引起市場熱烈討論。
The joint consultation paper entitled Proposed Enhancements to the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limiteds Decision - Making and Governance Structure for Listing Regulation issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited SEHK and the Securities and Futures Commission SFC this year has aroused heated discussion on the market
雖然市場的意見不一，但卻有一個共通點，便是大多數持份者均同意香港市場一直不斷轉變，因此定期檢討監管的機制可以回應市場發展的需要，確保機制持續有效運作。
Despite the various views on the market such views have one thing in common the majority of stakeholders agree that the Hong Kong market is evolving so a regular review of the regulatory mechanism can respond to the development needs of the market and ensure its effective operation on an ongoing basis
對於諮詢文件列出的目標，包括提升效率、提高透明度及加強在監管過程中的協調和問責，我相信絕大多數的持份者都會表示支持。
I believe an overwhelming majority of stakeholders will agree to the objectives set out in the consultation paper such as enhancing efficiency raising transparency and strengthening coordination and accountability in the regulatory process
支持諮詢文件的一方認為，引入兩個新委員會並加入證監會的成員，以及釐清聯交所總裁的審批職責，將有助強化監管水平。
Supporters of the consultation paper think that the setting up of two new committees the inclusion of SFCs representatives and also the clarification of the vetting and approval duty of SEHKs Chief Executive can help to raise the regulatory standard
此外，根據擬議的新架構，證監會亦可以在早期直接參與上市監管的決策，以及政策制訂的過程，提高整體的效率、透明度和問責性。
Besides under the proposed new structure SFC will also be able to directly participate in the early decision - making stage concerning listing regulation and also in the policy formulation process . This can enhance the overall efficiency transparency and accountability
至於反對諮詢文件的一方，張華峰議員和涂謹申議員剛才已經詳述他們的部分觀點，我在此不再重複。
As for opponents of the consultation paper Mr Christopher CHEUNG and Mr James TO have already discussed thoroughly some of their viewpoints . I am not prepared to repeat them here
所以，諮詢建議暫時很難說明新架構能夠作出比原來架構更公平、有效、有秩序、具透明度及競爭力的上市決策。
For these reasons I think that for the time being the consultation proposals can hardly convince us that the listing decisions under the new structure can be fairer and more orderly with greater effectiveness transparency and competitiveness when compared to those under the original structure
代理主席，上市監管決策及管治架構改革的最終目的，應該是提升上市的審批質素和效率，所以應引入更多不同的專業人士參與決策 過程，而聯交所本身亦應該有合適機制，避免聯交所作為審批者同時亦是營運者的角色之間產生衝突。
Deputy President the ultimate goal of reforming the decision - making and governance structure of listing regulation should be enhancing the quality and efficiency of vetting and approving listing applications . So more different professionals should be involved in the decision - making process . And SEHK should devise an appropriate mechanism to prevent conflicts in its dual role as a vetting and approval authority and also an operator
現時上市委員會的成員數目比較多，背景多元化，好處是不容易被操縱及形成偏見，對平衡各種不同利益的意見發揮關鍵作用。
The existing Listing Committee comprises more members with diversified backgrounds . The merit of this is that it is not susceptible to manipulation and will not form prejudice easily . This is critical to balancing the views of people with various interests
雖然他們只是針對部分非常規的上市個案，但整體架構的設計不一定會較原組成優勝。
While they will only target at certain listing cases with abnormalities the design of this overall structure will not necessarily be better than the design of the original framework
此外，我想提出一點，這亦是十分重要的。
Besides I want to bring up one point which is also very important
有法律學者提出有關是次諮詢的法律原則問題。
Some legal academics have raised questions about the legal principles concerning this consultation
有關問題都值得各方關注，以確保這次改革有扎實的法律基礎。
The relevant issue should warrant various sides concern so as to ensure that the reform this time around is founded on a solid legal basis
在任何情況下，我相信加強對違規者的調查及執法，將能發揮很好的阻嚇作用。
In any case I believe strengthening investigations into lawbreakers and law enforcement can achieve a desirable deterrent effect
代理主席，健康有序的證券市場對香港作為國際金融中心的地位是十分重要的，我期望各方在多聆聽不同的意見後，制訂真正能夠符合香港實際情況的改革建議，一方面促進兩地證券投資的互聯互通，另一方面，在保障投資者權益的同時，讓香港的金融證券行業持續健康地發展。
Deputy President a healthy and orderly securities market is very important to Hong Kongs status as an international financial centre . I hope that after heeding more different views various sides can formulate reform proposals which are truly consistent with the realities of Hong Kong so as to facilitate mutual connection between both places in securities investment and enable the sustainable and healthy development of Hong Kongs financial and securities industries while also protecting investors rights and interests
主席，我今天發言的主旨只有一個，就是打擊濫用。
President there is only one aim in my speech today that is to tackle the abuse
香港是一個很穩定的城市，以致世界各地很多政局不穩、內戰頻繁、烽煙四起的地方的人民，都希望在此找到一片安穩土地，讓一家人生活下去。
Hong Kong has been a city of high stability so people living in politically unstable countries countries with lingering civil wars or lands beset by war all over the world will come to find a safe haven in Hong Kong so that their families can lead a peaceful life here
香港位處東南亞，與東南亞其他地方，以及一些東非等地相對較近，因此很多來自這些地方的人考慮來香港尋求庇護。
Hong Kong is located in South East Asia so comparatively it is nearer to Southeast Asian countries and regions as well as East African countries . As a result a lot of people from these places want to come and seek asylum in Hong Kong
香港是一個多元包容的社會，對於遇上困難真正困難的人，香港人都樂意施以援手。
Hong Kong is a pluralistic and inclusive society . Hong Kong people are willing to help people who have difficulties―genuine difficulties
況且，在法律上，中國是《禁止酷刑和其他殘忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或處罰公約》的締約國，香港作為中華人民共和國的特別行政區，這公約都適用於香港，因此如果有人向入境處提出免遣返聲請，當局是一定要處理。
Besides as far as the law is concerned China is a contracting state to the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment so the Convention is also applicable to Hong Kong the Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China . For that reason if a person lodges a non - refoulement claim with the Immigration Department ImmD the relevant authority will have to process it
但是，我們看到近年的趨勢，這公約明顯被濫用。
However we can see that the Convention is apparently being abused as shown by the trend in recent years
有不少報道都指出，大部分提出免遣返聲請的人士，都不是因為家鄉有戰亂，或者政治動盪而來香港尋求庇護。
There are reports that the majority of people making a non - refoulement claim have come to Hong Kong to seek asylum not just because of the outbreak of wars or political instability in their home countries . Many people are attracted by the one - stop services provided by certain syndicates
其實他們不是尋求政治庇護，他們只不過是來香港謀生的偷渡客。
Actually they are not political asylum seekers and they are just illegal entrants who want to make a living in Hong Kong
由於這些免遣返聲請人士沒有真正庇護需要，所以我們認為一定要盡快核實他們的身份，請他們返回自己的家鄉。
Since these people who make a non - refoulement claim have no genuine asylum need we consider that we must verify their identities and repatriate them to their home countries as soon as possible
這公約被濫用，已經是眾所周知的事實。
It is widely known that the Convention has been abused
所以，對於毛孟靜議員和張超雄議員兩位的修正案，他們將原議案的措辭完全刪去，我們是極之不同意的尤其是毛孟靜議員的修正案的措施。
For that reason we strongly oppose the complete deletion of the wording of the original motion in Ms Claudia MOs and Dr Fernando CHEUNGs amendments―especially the measures proposed in Ms Claudia MOs amendment
她作為九龍西選區的議員，包括油麻地及深水埗，我不知道她究竟有多少個晚上曾在這兩個相對貧困的社區出入。
She is a Member returned in the Kowloon West geographical constituency which includes Yau Ma Tei and Sham Shui Po but I really do not know how many night visits she has paid to these two communities which have a relatively larger number of impoverished people
這些地區深夜時分有很多非本地人士留連，令到當區的治安嚴重惡化。
At night time these two districts are frequented by non - local people who have caused a serious deterioration in the public order of these districts
所以，我們認為對於真正需要申請聲請的人士，我們一定要協助。
Therefore we consider that we should help those who are in genuine need of lodging non - refoulement claims
但是，濫用的人士，我們一定要予以打擊，這樣做才對申請人公道，對香港市民公道。
Nevertheless we should curb those who are abusing the Convention . It is only in this way that applicants can be treated in a fair manner
政府處理這些酷刑聲請的花費，其實不少。
The Government has actually spent quite a lot of money on dealing with torture claims
根據政府數據，在2015-2016年度已經花了6億4,000萬港元處理這些酷刑聲請，包括當值律師服務、入境處費用，以及上訴委員會的資源。
According to government statistics 640 million were spent in 2015 - 2016 to handle these torture claims including Duty Lawyer Service ImmDs expenses as well as the resources of the Torture Claims Appeal Board . Comparing with the 430 million spent in the year before the relevant expenses have increased by at least 50 %
相比前一個年度的4億3,000萬元，足足增加五成，這些錢全部出於納稅人的口袋，我們應該謹慎處理和使用，並且用在一些合適的地方。
All these expenses are paid by taxpayers . We should exercise prudence in dealing with these issues and we should use the money appropriately
我是勞工界議員，在爭取大家支持的時候，接觸過一些入境處同事。
I am a Member representing the labour sector . I have contacted certain ImmD staff in the course of seeking support from the sector
這些同事不斷反映，他們很多時候沒有辦法接觸到這類聲請人，因為他們會借故拖延審訊，而這些情況是屢見不鮮。
They keep on telling me that very often they cannot find these claimants as these claimants would try every means to delay the trials . It is a common occurrence
另一個令我們非常關注的，就是他們從事非法勞工的問題。
Another concern of us is that these claimants have become illegal workers
特別是提出了聲請的人士，很多都是為了來香港謀生，一些中介公司亦安 排了一些工作崗位給他們。
In particular most claimants lodge their claims just because they want to make a living in Hong Kong . Some intermediary companies or agencies will arrange jobs for them
去年入境處拘捕了1,117名這類從事黑工的聲請人，而在今年首10個月，入境處拘捕了421名非華裔非法勞工，以及254名本地僱主，反映非法勞工問題非常猖獗。
Last year ImmD arrested 1 117 claimants who were engaging in illegal employments . In the first 10 months of this year ImmD arrested 421 non - Chinese illegal workers and 254 local employers . All this shows that the problem of illegal workers is very rampant
工聯會希望入境處加強打擊力度，以收阻嚇之用。
The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions FTU hopes that ImmD will step up its efforts to crack down on the problem in order to achieve a better deterrent effect
但是，在上一次保安事務委員會，我們曾向副局長查詢僱主聘用聲請人未成功檢控的人數資料，我們希望盡快提供這方面的數字，提升檢控率，對這些有意聘用聲請人的僱主予以嚴厲打擊，減少黑工來香港的誘因。
Nevertheless we have asked the Under Secretary for information about the figures of unsuccessful prosecution of employers who employ these claimants in the last meeting of the Security Panel . We hope the authority will provide the figures as soon as practicable so that the successful prosecution rate can be increased and a severe blow could be struck at the employers who employ these claimants with a view to reducing the incentive for illegal entrants to come and seek employments in Hong Kong
此外，工聯會認為要設立一個收容中心，從而減少他們從事黑工的情況。
In addition FTU considers that we should set up a holding centre for them with a view to reduce the chance for them to engage in illegal employments
因為不少聲請人來香港，都是為了謀生然後寄錢回家鄉，如果設立了收容中心，便可以令他們無法外出打黑工，削弱他們來香港謀生的意欲。
It is because the major purpose of many of the claimants is to come to find a job in Hong Kong and then send some money back to their home countries . If a holding centre is set up then they will not be able to engage in illegal employments thus reducing their desire for coming and looking for a job in Hong Kong
同時也可以縮短處理他們聲請的時間，因為現在他們不斷以種種理由，例如生病、body check發現問題等作為借口，而缺席聆訊或推遲提交文件，令整個審訊拖延很長時間。
At the same time it can also shorten the time for processing their claims . It is because that they are using various excuses such as feeling sick taking body check and having problems to absent themselves from trials or delay the submission of papers . In this way trials are delayed
如果設立收容中心，便可以避免上述情況。
If a holding centre is set up we can avoid the above situations
免遣返聲請被濫用，對於正規居港的非洲裔或南亞裔人士十分不公平，一般市民，尤其是華裔市民，對他們的印象也可能會有一些影響。
The abuse of non - refoulement claim is also unfair to ethnic African or South Asian people in Hong Kong who came to settle in Hong Kong through proper channels . The impression held by the public towards them will likely be affected
這些濫用聲請人令他們受到一些不必要承受的歧視目光。
People who abuse the system have caused unnecessary discrimination against them
