至於在今年9月完成諮詢，由18區區議會選出的48個下一階段推展項目，路政署已聘請工程顧問進行勘測及設計工作，預計建造工程將於2019-2020財政年度陸續展開。
As for the 48 items selected by the 18 DCs in the consultation exercise completed in September this year for implementation in the Next Phase the Highways Department has engaged consultants to carry out the investigation and design work; the construction works are anticipated to commence progressively starting from the financial year 2019 - 2020
我們一直致力克服在推展各個加建工程項目時遇到的困難及挑戰，全速推展各項目。
We have all along been striving to overcome the difficulties and challenges encountered in delivering the retrofitting works with the aim of implementing the various items expeditiously
在本年11月17日的立法會交通事務委員會會議上，有議員動議將"人人暢道通行"計劃的資助範圍擴展至香港房屋委員會轄下可供購買的租者置其屋計劃屋邨及資助出售房屋；該無約束力動議獲得通過。
At the Legislative Council Panel on Transport meeting on 17 November this year Member moved the motion for the Government to expand the funding scope of the UA Programme to cover Tenants Purchase Scheme TPS estates where flats are available for purchase as well as subsidized sale flats under the Hong Kong Housing Authority HA; the said unbinding motion was passed
政府於當日的會議上解釋現時"人人暢道通行"計劃並未涵蓋可供出售的租置屋邨及資助出售房屋的原因在於要確保公帑用得其所，避免政府接管私人業權人的土地及責任。
The Government has explained at the Panel meeting that day that the reasons for not including TPS estates and subsidized sale flats under the UA Programme were to ensure the proper use of public funds and to avoid the Government taking over land and relevant responsibility from private owners
至於就"人人暢道通行"計劃的資助範圍作出檢視方面，由於路政署現時已有一定數量的行人通道需要在計劃下處理，以及鑒於資源的限制，路政署會先集中處理市民及區議會已提名的行人通道。
Regarding the review over the funding scope of the UA Programme as the Highways Department already has a considerable number of walkways in hand for implementation under the UA Programme and in view of resources constraints the Highways Department will first focus on dealing with those walkways which had already been suggested by the public and DCs earlier
在推展"人人暢道通行"計劃下一階段的過程中，我們會累積經驗，日後視乎實際情況，探討是否有需要及空間進一步擴大"人人暢道通行"計劃的範疇。
In the course of delivering the Next Phase we will accumulate experience and depending on the actual circumstance in the future explore if there are any need and scope for further expanding the ambit of the UA Programme . Same as any other private properties all TPS estates regardless of the number of flats sold are governed by the Building Management Ordinance BMO Cap
所有租置屋邨，無論售出多少單位，均與一般私人物業無異，即受《建築物管理條例》、政府租契及大廈公契所規管，其日常的管理事務，包括屋邨內公用部分的維修工作，由業主立案法團按照大廈公契及《條例》的規定，召開管理委員會會議或業主大會進行商討及議決，並由法團委聘的物業管理公司負責執行。
344 the Government leases and the Deeds of Mutual Covenant DMCs . Daily management issues of the TPS estates including maintenance work in estate common areas are discussed and resolved at meetings of management committees or owners general meetings convened by the Owners Corporations OCs pursuant to the provisions of DMCs and BMO . The property management companies appointed by OCs undertake the estate management work
現時所有租置屋邨均已成立法團。
As of today OCs are formed in all TPS estates
房委會作為租置屋邨內未出售單位的業主，除根據大廈公契就有關業權管理份數支付管理費外，亦會委派代表參與法團的管委會。
HA as the owner of unsold flats in TPS estates appoints representatives to participate in management committees of OCs apart from paying the management fee according to its ownership shares under DMCs
為了鼓勵業主參與屋邨管理事務並提倡業主自主，房委會無意主導屋邨事務。因此，房委會代表於業主大會及管委會進行表決一般管理事宜時保持中立，讓其他業主決定屋邨的日常運作。
In order to encourage owners participation in estate management and promote their autonomy HA will not dominate estate matters and its representatives will maintain a neutral stance in voting on general management issues at OC or management committee meetings to let other owners decide on the day - to - day management of the estates
多謝陳恒鑌議員的問題和意見。
I thank Mr CHAN Han - pan for his question and opinions
租置屋邨在1998年至2005年之間推出發售，這些屋邨出售後，與一般私人物業無異，業主享有使用屋邨公共地方和設施的權利，但亦須承擔有關責任及所需開支。
Flats in TPS estates were sold between 1998 and 2005 . After those flats were sold TPS estates are the same as private properties . Owners have the right to use the common areas and facilities in the estates but they also have to bear the relevant responsibilities and costs
代理主席，房委會在租置屋邨的角色向來被人詬病，認為過於被動和消極，以中立之名把應承擔的責任推得一乾二淨，剛才陳議員都提過這點。
Deputy President as far as TPS estates are concerned HAs role has always been criticized as overly passive . In the name of neutrality it shirks all due responsibilities and just now Mr CHAN has also mentioned this point
正所謂"上有所好，下必甚焉"，房委會本身就不遵守《殘疾歧視條例》，難怪山景邨的管委會可堂而皇之不讓社工進行家訪，不讓復康巴士入邨，不讓老人中心的同事帶長者到籃球場曬太陽。
As the saying goes What the superior loves his inferiors will be found to love exceedingly . As HA does not comply with the Ordinance no wonder the management committee of Shan King Estate can blatantly forbid social workers to conduct home visits disallow rehabilitation buses from entering the Estate and forbid workers from elderly centres from taking the elderly residents to the basketball court for sunbathing
我想問局方究竟如何介入這些具體問題？
May I ask how will the Bureau tackle these specific problems?
對於山景邨對教育機構和社福機構如此不友善的態度，諸般刁難，政府如何處理？
What will the Government do to address Shan King Estates hostility toward educational and social welfare organizations and hindrance of their work?
至於在各地區蒐集所得或經由路政署轉介有關公共租住屋邨內加建升降機的建議，房委會亦會一併考慮，根據實際地形、已有的通道設施、社區需求、技術可行性及善用公共資源原則等，制訂優先次序。
HA will also consider the proposals put forward by various parties in different districts or forwarded by the Highways Department concerning the installation of lifts in public rental housing PRH estates . It will also set the priority of works according to the actual terrain availability of access facilities needs of the community technical feasibility and the principle of proper use of public resources
房委會會繼續考慮在公共租住屋邨範圍內加建升降機的建議，如果項目涉及其他持份者，我們會與他們磋商，取得各方的共識後才會展開項目的可行性研究。
HA will continue to consider proposals to retrofit lifts within the boundaries of PRH estates . If a project involves other stakeholders we will negotiate with them and try to reach a consensus before carrying out the feasibility study of the project
在這方面，我剛才已說明，租置屋邨與一般私人物業無異，所以我在這方面並沒有補充。
As I said just now TPS estates are no different to private properties in general hence I have nothing to add in that respect
代理主席，局長剛才的答案確實令很多議員，包括我本人在內都感到不滿，甚至憤怒。
Deputy President the Secretarys answer surely disappointed many Members including me . They are even furious
首先，我申報我是房委會委員。
First I have to declare that I am a member of HA
房委會如果明知有一些租置屋邨無法符合法例要求，妥善的處理辦法不是要求住戶申請調遷到一些合規格的屋邨居住，而是作出改善。
If HA is well aware that certain TPS estates do not meet the legal requirements the proper way to deal with the situation is not to ask the tenants to apply for transfer to other estates that meet the required standard but to make improvements
局方會否提出一個具體方案，令所有屋邨均符合法例要求？
Will the Secretary put forward a specific proposal to make all estates comply with the law?
房委會亦樂意與法團及各持份者聯繫，商議各方面均可接受的方案。
HA is willing to contact OCs and various stakeholders to work out a proposal acceptable to all parties
其實政府為鼓勵業主進行大廈維修，便推出了樓宇維修綜合支援計劃，為鼓勵長者修葺單位，就推出了長者維修自住物業津貼計劃。
As a matter of fact the Government implemented the Integrated Building Maintenance Assistance Scheme to encourage owners to carry out building maintenance works; and launched the Building Maintenance Grant Scheme for Elderly Owners to encourage elderly owners to maintain their flats
多謝胡志偉議員的補充質詢及意見。
I thank Mr WU Chi - wai for his supplementary question and views
為了確保公帑用得其所及避免政府接管私人業權土地及責任，政府認為不應在私人擁有的土地範圍內，建造行人通道或加建升降機。
To ensure the proper use of public funds and avoid taking over privately - owned lands and the related responsibilities the Government considers it inappropriate to construct walkways or retrofit lifts within the boundaries of privately - owned lands
故此，需要確定行人通道並不屬於私人擁有......
Hence we must ensure that the walkways will not be privately owned
我問局長會否提供資助鼓勵法團去做，而不是要求路政署去做。
I asked the Secretary whether subsidies would be provided to OCs to carry out the projects I was not asking the Highways Department to carry out the project
房委會作為法團的代表之一，亦會提供意見，鼓勵法團因應租置屋邨的管理及設施作出跟進。
As one of the representatives in OCs HA will also advise and encourage OCs to follow up the issues taking into account the management and facilities of TPS estates
代理主席，我要阻你少許時間。
Deputy President may I take up a little of your time
我的問題很直接，局長可否提供數字，指出有多少租置屋邨現時未能符合"人人暢道通行"計劃所指定的要求？
My question is very direct Will the Secretary provide the data concerning the number of TPS estates that do not meet the requirements of the UA Programme?
代理主席，我先申報我是房委會委員。
Deputy President first I declare that I am a member of HA
我非常不滿今天局長的答案。
I am very dissatisfied with the Secretarys answer
事實上，現時所有租置屋邨均有同樣問題，便是違反了《殘疾歧視條例》的規定。
As a matter of fact all TPS estates have the same problem that is they are all in breach of the Ordinance
以藍田德田邨為例，長者每天要步行100多級樓梯才能到屋邨外進行社交生活和取得服務。
Take Tak Tin Estate in Lam Tin for example . Elderly residents have to walk down more than 100 stair steps every day to go outside for social activities or services
局長剛才不斷重複講稿內容，猶如"人肉錄音機"。
The Secretary has kept repeating the contents of his script just like a human recorder
我想澄清一點，《設計手冊：暢通無阻的通道2008》並沒有追溯力，業主可以因應需要進行改善工程，而我們會在屋邨管理諮詢委員會上向法團提供這方面的意見。
May I clarify that the Design Manual―Barrier Free Access 2008 has no retrospective effect . Owners can carry out improvement works as needed . We will provide advice in this regard for OCs in the Estate Management Advisory Committee
尚有兩位議員希望就提供無障礙通道進出租置屋邨的事宜提出補充質詢，但由於時間關係，請議員在其他場合跟進。
Two Members are still waiting to raise supplementary questions on the provision of barrier - free access to TPS estates but owing to time constraints I have to ask the Members to follow up on other occasions
代理主席，我發言反對盧偉國議員引用《議事規則》第401條，中止現正要察悉的《〈2017年實習律師規則〉公告》的討論。
Deputy President I rise to speak in opposition to the invocation of Rule 401 of the Rules of Procedure RoP by Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok to adjourn the discussion on the Trainee Solicitors Amendment Rules 2017 Commencement Notice the Notice we are now taking note of
盧議員根據第401條提出中止待續議案的理據是，"察悉議案"沒有爭議性，生效日期也沒有可辯論的地方，他更說這樣做並非不尊重律師專業。
Ir Dr LOs justifications for moving the adjournment motion under RoP 401 are that the take - note motion is uncontroversial and that the date of commencement has no points for debate . He even said that his moving of an adjournment motion is not disrespectful for the legal profession
我認為盧議員的說法自相矛盾：第一，如果他認為"察悉議案"的內容毫無爭議性，那為何他不讓議員討論？
I am of the view that Ir Dr LOs remarks are contradictory first of all if he considers the contents of the take - note motion uncontroversial why does he not let Members discuss?
議會的天職是議事，所以這個地方稱為議事堂，而我們則是民意代表。
The function of the Council is to hold discussions so this place is called the Chamber and we are the representatives of public opinions
在政治憲制架構內，議會就是代表民意的最高架構，是制衡、監察的行政架構。
Within the political and constitutional framework the Council is the highest framework representing public opinions to check and balance as well as monitor the administrative framework
此外，我們還有司法架構，可以在出現爭議時根據法律獨立地作出仲裁，而這正是現代社會的三權分立。
In addition we also have the judicial framework so that we can arbitrate independently under the law in case of any disputes . This is indeed the separation of powers in modern society
很清楚，權力會令人腐化，而絕對的權力會使人絕對的腐化，所以議會的天職就是要在議事堂內議事。
Clearly power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely hence the function of the Council is to hold discussions in the Chamber
代理主席，究竟立法會的工作是甚麼？
Deputy President actually what is the work of the Legislative Council?
為何不讓我們履行《基本法》內訂明立法會的職責及立法會議員當仁不讓的工作？
Why are we not allowed to perform the functions of the Legislative Council as provided for in the Basic Law and undertake the due duties of Legislative Council Members?
不過，代理主席，我已說得很清楚，這其實違反《基本法》，而這個方向不單阻礙立法會議員行使其職權，亦不利於香港的發展。
However Deputy President I have said very clearly that it is in fact in breach of the Basic Law . This direction not only hinders the Legislative Council Members from exercising their powers and functions but is also not conducive to the development in Hong Kong
《議事規則》第401條今天所限制的，正是民意的表達。
What is limited under RoP 401 today is indeed the expression of public opinions
除了我剛才所引述《基本法》第七十三條第一、五及六項訂明的立法會職權外，大家不要忘記，《基本法》第六十四條亦訂明"香港特別行政區政府必須遵守法律，對香港特別行政區立法會負責"。
Besides the powers and functions of the Legislative Council specified in Article 731 5 and 6 of the Basic Law as I quoted a moment ago we shall not forget that Article 64 of the Basic Law also stipulates that the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region must abide by the law and be accountable to the Legislative Council of the Region
政府的工作包括答覆立法會議員的質詢。
The work of the Government includes replying questions raised by Members of the Legislative Council
代理主席，我已經說過質詢的過程十分重要，因為在一問一答的過程中，有時候真相便會出現。
Deputy President as I have said the process of raising questions is essential as the truth will sometimes be uncovered in the question - and - answer process
事實上，附屬法例的內容是否完全沒有爭議性？
In fact are the provisions of the subsidiary legislation completely uncontroversial?
在大律師轉業為律師的過程中，是否完全沒有需要特別考慮的地方？
In the process of a barrister becoming a solicitor is there nothing at all that requires special consideration?
我認為最突出的要算是謝偉俊議員，他是傳奇人物，原因是他由大律師轉業為律師，正好親身體驗這項附屬法例的實踐。
Among them I think Mr Paul TSE is the most outstanding one . He is a legend as he gave up being a barrister and became a solicitor . He had personal experience in respect of the provision of this subsidiary legislation
剛才葉建源議員為梁美芬議員平反，因為她早已通知主席會像郭榮鏗議員般，在討論"察悉議案"時發言，但結果她無話可說，現在連謝偉俊議員也無話可說，連曾親身經歷附屬法例涉及的過程的人也無話可說，這是令人十分遺憾的事。
Mr IP Kin - yuen has vindicated Dr Priscilla LEUNG just now as she had informed the President earlier that she would speak when discussing the take - note motion as in the case of Mr Dennis KWOK . However she ultimately has nothing to say and now even Mr Paul TSE has nothing to say . It is a pity that even the person who has personal experience of the process involved in the subsidiary legislation has nothing to say
謝偉俊議員當大律師，並在轉業為律師後曾被香港律師會吊銷牌照的經驗，本應可藉此機會與大家分享，但他的發言權卻被剝奪。
Mr Paul TSE formerly a barrister had been suspended from practice by The Law Society of Hong Kong after becoming a solicitor should have taken this opportunity to share his experience with us but his right to speak has been deprived of
很可惜，今 天我要為謝偉俊議員平反，我很希望他能夠站起來發言，但希望代理主席不要限制他只可就第401條發言，讓他有機會講述自己的經驗。
Sadly I have to vindicate Mr Paul TSE today . I really hope that he will rise to speak . Yet I wish the Deputy President will not limit him to only speak on RoP 401 but let him have a chance to relate his own experience
此外，另一位傳奇人物是何君堯議員。
In addition Dr Junius HO is another legend
變成獲得執業律師資格。
he has obtained the qualification to practise
究竟"執業律師"和"執業律師資格"有何分別？
What is the difference between a practising solicitor and having the qualification to practise as a solicitor?
我只能說：消滅實質討論可惡，橫蠻中止辯論可耻。
All I can say is It is disgusting to stifle the substantive discussion and shameless to adjourn the debate in a rude manner
主席，我發言反對盧偉國議員根據《議事規則》第401條提出將有關《〈2017年實習律師規則〉公告》的辯論中止待續的議案。
President I speak to oppose the motion moved by Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok under Rule 401 of the Rules of Procedure RoP to adjourn the debate in relation to the Trainee Solicitors Amendment Rules 2017 Commencement Notice the Notice
主席，盧偉國議員的做法是不必要，也是相當不合理的，因為其實這項修訂規則本身的爭議性不大。
President what Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok did is unnecessary and very irrational because the Amendment Rules themselves are in fact not quite controversial
主席，這些是小動作，也令香港市民看到建制派經常說一套，但實際上卻在做另一套。
President these are small tricks which make Hong Kong people witness that the pro - establishment Members often do not practice what they preach
有關修訂可幫助香港法律界的執業人士。
The relevant amendments can facilitate legal practitioners in Hong Kong
為何連如此不具殺傷力、完全不會影響建制派大業的"察悉議案"也要遏抑和阻撓？
Why do pro - establishment Members stop and impede such a harmless take - note motion which will not in any way affect the great plan of the pro - establishment camp?
為何要採取這種看來極不君子的行為？
Why does such a seemingly dishonourable act be taken?
我現在看到立法會正走向極悲涼的景況，社會上不斷出現不公義的事情，例如工程項目超支、政府不負責任的行為，剛剛昨天便揭露沙中線超支的情況，其實立法會有責任......
There is a rising tide of continuous injustice in the community such as cost overruns of public works projects and irresponsible government actions . The cost overrun of the Shatin to Central Link project was unveiled yesterday . Indeed the Legislative Council is responsible for
代理主席，我首先申報我是一名會計師，亦是香港的執業律師，以及英格蘭及威爾斯的執業律師。盧偉國議員在上次會議時......
Deputy President first of all I would like to declare that I am an accountant and a practising solicitor in Hong Kong as well as a practising solicitor in England and Wales
香港承襲了英國的制度，將大律師和事務律師分開，其實是加重了市民在法律費用方面的負擔，亦令市民得到應有法律服務的機會減少。
Hong Kong followed the British system and divides the legal profession into barristers and solicitors . This actually increases the publics burden in terms of legal expenses and gives people fewer opportunities to receive legal services
首先，香港仍然維持大律師制度，市民不能直接聘請大律師，而必須通過事務律師。
First Hong Kong still maintains a barrister system under which members of the public cannot directly hire barristers and they must do so through solicitors
一名小市民想提出法庭訴訟，便須通過事務律師聘請大律師為他在法庭抗辯。
If an ordinary person wants to file a court proceeding he must hire a barrister through a solicitor to defend him in court
香港未有這方面改動，但香港亦有一個比較好的改動，就是如果事務律師具有相關經驗並經過相關考試，可以獲得在高等法院訴訟的資格，成為"solicitor advocate"。
Such a change has not been made in Hong Kong but a rather desirable change has been made here ie . if a solicitor has the relevant experience and passes the examination he will be qualified as a solicitor advocate with rights of audience in the High Court
兩年後，他才可以成為事務律師。
Deputy President let me give a simple illustration . A trainee solicitor will be trained for two years in a law firm and he usually has to work in four departments including the real estate department litigation department and commercial law department and he will become a solicitor after two years
換言之，大律師很多時都專注於刑事或民事訴訟。
In other words barristers often focus on criminal or civil proceedings
如果你說，5年......
If you say five years
梁議員，我提醒你，你已發言9分28秒。
Mr LEUNG I would like to remind you that you have spoken for 9 minutes 28 seconds
另外我反對盧偉國議員這項議案的理由是，基於《基本法》第七十三條第一至十項的精神，都與我們作為立法會議員制定、修改和廢除法律的憲制責任有關，而現在討論的，正是一項附屬法例的生效日期公告。
Another reason for opposing Ir Dr LO Wai - kwoks motion is that in line with the spirit of Article 731 to Article 7310 of the Basic Law we have the constitutional responsibilities as Legislative Council Members to enact amend and repeal laws . We are precisely discussing a notice on the commencement date of a subsidiary legislation
現在已有5位議員就中止待續議案發言。
Five Members have already spoken on the adjournment motion
我再次提醒議員，這項辯論的範圍很窄，即本會應否將該項附屬法例的"察悉議案"辯論中止待續。
I would like to remind Members once again that the scope of this debate is very narrow ie . whether this Council should adjourn the debate on the take - note motion in relation to this subsidiary legislation
有關律師行業或剛才有議員提到的律師分流事宜，可在相關事務委員會跟進。
Members may follow up on matters related to the legal profession or the division of the legal profession as some Members have mentioned at the relevant Panels
第一個原因，中止待續議案違反議員監察政府的職能。我認為這種做法愧對市民。
As for the first reason the adjournment motion is in contravention with the duty and function of Members to monitor the Government
請議員現在不要就修訂《議事規則》展開辯論，稍後會有時間讓各位就此發言。
Please do not debate on the amendments to the Rules of Procedure now . You will be given time later to speak on this subject
主席，我發言反對由盧偉國議員動議"現即將有關《〈2017年實習律師規則〉公告》的察悉議案的辯論中止待續"的議案。
President I speak in opposition to the motion moved by Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok that the debate on the take - note motion in relation to the Trainee Solicitors Amendment Rules 2017 Commencement Notice be now adjourned
正如陳志全議員在上星期發言時提到，民主派和建制派雖然都曾動議中止待續等議案，兩者的目的卻大相逕庭。
As Mr CHAN Chi - chuen said at last weeks meeting both the pro - democracy and pro - establishment camps had moved adjournment motions but for very different purposes
另一個例子是上屆立法會審議的《2014年版權條例草案》。
Another example is the Copyright Amendment Bill 2014 scrutinized in the previous legislative session
由這個會期開始至今，不論是陳帆局長、民主派同事或黃國健議員提出的休會待續或中止待續議案，我都表決反對。
Since the commencement of the current session I have voted against motions for adjournment of proceedings or of debate moved by Secretary Frank CHAN pan - democratic Members and Mr WONG Kwok - kin
今次由盧偉國議員提出的中止待續議案，我毫無懸念也會表決反對。
I will also vote against the adjournment motion moved by Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok without hesitation this time
陳志全議員及鄺俊宇議員先前分別提出中止待續議案，針對強制性能源效益標籤計劃第三階段及上調刑事案件法律援助費用的部分細節安排，希望政府再作諮詢及修訂才將有關附屬法例提交立法會。
Mr CHAN Chi - chuen and Mr KWONG Chun - yu earlier moved adjournment motions in relation to the third phase of the Mandatory Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme and the detailed arrangements for the increase of criminal legal aid fees hoping that the Government would do more consultation and make further amendments before submitting the subsidiary legislation to the Council again . However as I pointed out in my previous speech we should learn from past lessons
然而，正如我先前發言指出，前車可鑒，陳帆局長就《2017年印花稅條例草案》動議休會待續議案後，政府當局至今仍未恢復任何法案的二讀辯論，甚至未有提交任何附屬法例。
After Secretary Frank CHAN moved to adjourn the debate on the Stamp Duty Amendment Bill 2017 the Administration has so far neither resumed the Second Reading debate of any bill nor submitted any subsidiary legislation
由此可見，中止待續議案的後果其實可以很嚴重。
It can therefore be seen that the consequences of adjournment motions could be very serious
"我在此提醒主席，立法會至今仍未能通過一項法案的責任其實不在議員， 而是政府未有盡責，一直拖延將法案提交大會審議。
So far not a single bill has been passed . I would like to remind the President that Members should not be held responsible for passing not a single bill . It is the Government that has not fulfilled its responsibility stalling the submission of bills to the Council for scrutiny
唯一一項已進入全體委員會審議的《2017年印花稅條例草案》，卻被政府強行擱置。
The Stamp Duty Amendment Bill 2017 the only bill which has commenced proceedings in committee of the whole Council had been shelved by the Government forcibly
我希望主席日後向記者發表意見時可以公道一點。
I hope the President can make fair comment when talking to the press in future
我在此提醒隸屬香港經濟民生聯盟的盧偉國議員，是項"察悉議案"由內務委員會主席李慧琼議員提出，原因是她接獲兩位議員的要求，擬就該項附屬法例發言，一位是郭榮鏗議員，另一位是同屬經民聯的梁美芬議員，即《〈2017年實習律師規則〉公告》小組委員會主席。
I would like to remind Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok a member of the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong BPA that the take - note motion was moved by House Committee Chairman Ms Starry LEE at the request of two Members intending to speak on the subsidiary legislation Mr Dennis KWOK and Dr Priscilla LEUNG who is also a BPA member and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Trainee Solicitors Amendment Rules 2017 Commencement Notice
本會就盧偉國議員動議的中止待續議案辯論期間，代理主席李慧琼議員提醒議員發言時不應論述"生效日期"和有關條文的內容。
I hope Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok would take note of that . During the debate on Ir Dr LO Wai - kwoks adjournment motion Deputy President Ms Starry LEE reminded Members that they should not talk about the commencement date and the contents of the Notice
由於這齣電影仍在上映，我不便透露太多劇情，以免影響同事或市民的觀看意欲。
Since the film is still in theatres now I had better not say too much about its plot in order not to turn Members or citizens away from the film
主席，我絕無離題，我只是想論證"生效日期"的重要性。
President I am absolutely not digressing from the subject I just want to prove the importance of commencement date
一名連環殺人犯在修例生效日期前犯案，並在修例後匿藏至起訴期失效為止，令警察無法將其拘捕。
A serial killer had committed crimes before the amendment law took effect and hidden himself until the term of the statute of limitations expired so as to avoid getting arrested by the Police
如有關"生效日期"能夠提早，或許能多救一條人命，甚至可以成功逮捕兇手。
If the commencement date had been brought forward perhaps one more life would have been saved or even the killer would have been arrested earlier
雖然今天討論的只是一項即將生效、且與人命沒有直接關係的附屬法例，我想借這個例子反駁盧偉國議員以"沒有必要就生效日期多作辯論"而動議中止待續這個論點。
Although what we are discussing about today is just a subsidiary legislation which will soon come into effect and is not related to peoples life I just want to use this example to refute Ir Dr LO Wai - kwoks argument for moving the adjournment motion there is no need to further debate on the commencement date
然而，《巴黎協定》簽訂後，本港的標準會否落後於國際標準？
However with the signing of the Paris Agreement do Hong Kongs standards lag behind those of the international community?
正如我當時就陳志全議員動議的中止待續議案發言時指出，即使擬議決議案有不完善或可斟酌之處，但也未至於要暫停審議。
As I have said in my speech in respect of Mr CHAN Chi - chuens adjournment motion even if the proposed resolution was not perfect and might need to be refined suspension of scrutiny might not be necessary
我亦希望在辯論期間向當局提出我的關注，好讓當局可以在日後考慮。
I also wanted to raise my concerns during the debate for consideration by the departments concerned in the future
事實上，世上並沒有一項政策是完美無瑕的。
As a matter of fact no policy in the world is perfect
