我經常說，勞顧會無論是代表商界還是勞工的一方，都不是代表全港整體商界及勞工界，他們的代表是有民意授權的立法會直選議席。
I often say that the business sector and the labour sector represented in LAB are not the representatives of all business operators and workers in Hong Kong . Their representatives are the directly - elected Members in this Council who have the mandate of the people
最簡單的一點，我希望再次提及馬克思，我與陸頌雄議員經常交流馬克思的東西。
Again I wish to cite Karl MARX for a simple illustration . Mr LUK Chung - hung and I often exchange views on Marxism
我們常說要家庭友善，但大家真的要考慮這些實際狀況，請假並非沒有理由。
We often talk about the need to be family - friendly and we really need to consider these practical situations . It is not unjustified for male employees to take leave
事實上，現時社會已不再是男主外、女主內的情況，一些女員工在生產後需要放假休養身體，而男士亦要在女方產前及產後承擔一定程度的責任。
Actually men make houses women make homes may no longer be valid in a modern - day society . Female employees need to take leave for physical recovery after childbirth and male employees also need to share some responsibilities before and after their wifes childbirth
此外，關於主席審批修正案的裁決，我亦要為其他議員抱不平，例如由何啟明議員提出"一年一檢"侍產假的修正案。
Moreover regarding the Presidents ruling on the amendments I have to do justice to the Members concerned such as Mr HO Kai - ming whose proposed amendment seeks to propose an annual review on paternity leave
因此，我覺得男士侍產假及家庭友善政策很重要，我們必須堅守。
I thus think that paternity leave and family - friendly policies are very important and we must stand to uphold them firmly
我們要多爭取兩日侍產假，也是為了追上世界潮流，即使我們採用最右及最經濟掛帥的思維或以維持競爭力為由，讓員工及勞工享有適合待遇，也是競爭力的表現。
Our fight for two more days of paternity leave is meant to keep abreast with the world trend . Even if we adopt the most rightist point of view or an economy - first mentality or even use maintaining competitiveness as a justification to press for suitable remuneration for employees and workers it is still reflective of our competitiveness
所以，無論是要求增至7日的修正案以至黃碧雲議員的中間落墨方案，我也會盡數支持。
Hence I will support all the amendments including those seeking to increase paternity leave to seven days or the progressive option proposed by Dr Helena WONG
但是，我希望善意忠告各位議員尤其是工聯會的議員摒棄勞顧會，站在工人這邊。
But I wish to give a piece of well - meant advice to fellow Members especially those from FTU . Please abandon LAB and take side with workers . This is the only way to win the respect that workers deserve
這樣才能夠爭取到工人應有的尊嚴，這樣方能阻止工商界在此說出如此涼薄的話；在推行種種勞工政策問題上，不要再瞻仰工商界的鼻息，令政府要用如此大的代價來處理強積金對沖的問題，至今也不知道問題能否解決，以及令香港能夠真真正正面向世界。
This is the only way to stop Members from the industrial and business sectors from saying something so mean here . Regarding the implementation of labour policies stop living by the breath of the industrial and business sectors so that the Government need not pay such a dear price to abolish the offsetting arrangement of MPF an issue yet to be settled . Only by so doing can Hong Kong truly face up to the world
希望大家一起支持7日侍產假。
I urge Members to support a seven - day paternity leave
我當然答說這是手民之誤，但事實上對我來說，侍產假與產假的討論並無分別，均屬家庭政策的應有範疇。
I of course replied that it was just a typographical error but as a matter of fact the discussions on paternity leave and maternity leave make no difference to me and both should fall within the scope of family policy
侍產假並非為男士及一眾父親制訂的政策，而純粹是家庭政策中的一個範疇。
The granting of paternity leave should not be taken as a policy matter for men and fathers but simply one of the areas within the ambit of family policy
政府若要鼓吹家庭友善政策，便應就產假和侍產假作出一併的討論，而在討論過程中必然會觸及那基本問題：為甚麼香港要在今天增加侍產假？
If the Government wants to promote a family - friendly policy the granting of maternity leave should then be discussed together with paternity leave entitlement and in the course of discussion we would definitely touch on the following basic issue Why should we increase paternity leave entitlement in Hong Kong today?
若以政治角度作出評價，只有一個結論，那就是政府倒不如不要提供任何侍產假，一方面輸入大陸人口，另一方面則壓抑香港人，不讓我們生育下一代。
If judging from a political perspective we can only come up with one conclusion and that is the Government might as well opt not to grant any paternity leave while admitting immigrants from the Mainland on the one hand and suppressing Hong Kong peoples aspirations for having children on the other
理由很簡單，她作為議員有此權力，議會的秘書處應創造條件讓她行使這項權力。
The reason is very simple She as a Member does have such powers and the Secretariat of this Council should put in place arrangements to facilitate the exercise of her powers as a Member
我期望今天能盡快通過《2018年稅務條例草案》，吸引更多私人企業投入資源進行研發，突破現時以政府開支主導的局面。
We suggested to the Government many years ago the introduction of enhanced tax deduction measures to encourage private enterprises to increase their investments on RD . Hence I agree with the Governments proposals under the Inland Revenue Amendment No
主席，我謹此簡單陳辭，支持《條例草案》和修正案。多謝主席。
With these remarks Deputy President I support the proposed amendments
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：《2018年稅務條例草案》，予以二讀。
I now put the question to you and that is That the Inland Revenue Amendment No . 3 Bill 2018 be read the Second time
《2018年稅務條例草案》。
Inland Revenue Amendment No . 3 Bill 2018
代理主席，去年8月及本年9月，超強颱風天鴿和山竹分別襲港，伴隨而來的風暴潮和暴雨導致多個位處海旁及低窪的地點嚴重水浸，並造成嚴重破壞。
Deputy President super typhoons Hato and Mangkhut hit Hong Kong respectively in August last year and September this year with the concomitant storm surges and rainstorms causing severe flooding in a number of coastal and low - lying locations and inflicting serious damages
受影響的地點包括杏花邨、將軍澳南及鯉魚門。
The affected locations included Heng Fa Chuen Tseung Kwan O South and Lei Yue Mun
有科學家指出，全球暖化導致海平面持續上升和極端天氣越來越常見，海旁及低窪地點受風暴潮和水浸影響的情況因而會日益頻繁。
Some scientists have pointed out that global warming has resulted in the sea level rising continuously and extreme weather conditions being increasingly common . As a result occasions of coastal and low - lying locations being affected by storm surges and flooding will become increasingly frequent
此外，在颱風吹襲期間，海浪沖擊岸邊時可能會越過海堤，形成"越堤浪"。因為"山竹"的風速比"天鴿"高，所引致的越堤浪也相對嚴重，所以受風暴潮影響的地區也較"天鴿"多。
Instead overtopping waves which overtop the seawalls are blown by strong winds
代理主席，我的祖父是大澳居民，首先，多謝政府在大澳所做的工作，以及發展局於上星期派出秘書長和多個部門的官員跟我討論即將就杏花邨所進行的研究工作。
Deputy President my grandfather is a Tai O resident . First of all I wish to thank the Government for taking measures in Tai O and sending the Permanent Secretary and officials from various departments to discuss with me the impending study on Heng Fa Chuen last week
我的補充質詢是，大家看到主要受風暴潮影響的杏花邨、海怡半島和將軍澳南，主要都是私人屋苑。
I have this supplementary question . As we can all see Heng Fa Chuen South Horizons and Tseung Kwan O South which were subjected to the impact of the storm surge are mainly private housing estates
事實上，政府在岸上能夠做的工作極之有限。
Actually the Government can do very little on the shore
就此，我想請問局長，政府在海上有甚麼工作可以做，可否加快做，以協助這些區域的居民，從而保障市民生命財產的安全呢？
In this connection may I ask the Secretary what efforts can be made by the Government and expedited at sea in order to help residents living at these locations with a view to protecting the lives and properties of the public?
代理主席，如果真的如政府所說，會委託土木工程拓展署研究在港島不同地方，例如海怡半島、杏花邨、藍灣半島或石澳等地區加裝防浪牆、防波堤或弱波石等，我相信區內居民對此也是歡迎的。
Deputy President I believe residents living in South Horizons Heng Fa Chuen Island Resort or Shek O will welcome the move if the Government is really entrusting CEDD to conduct a study to examine if wave walls breakwaters or dolosse should be deployed at various locations in Hong Kong
不過，我留意到土木工程拓展署今年1月更新的《海港工程設計手冊》中極端海水位的標準，今次颱風"山竹"便已經達到。
However I note that the sea level rise during typhoon Mangkhut this time around had already met the new criteria for extreme sea level as published in CEDDs Port Works Design Manual the Manual which was updated this January
然而，氣候變化長遠只會越來越嚴重，極端海水位只會越來越高，我擔心有關標準未能與時並進。
However in the long run climate change will only be more serious and extreme sea level rise will only be more frequent . I am concerned that the criteria are not up - to - date
局方會否承諾盡快檢討，並更新《手冊》的有關標準，好讓我們在檢討和加裝設施時，能遵循一些較好的標準來進行建設呢？
Will the Bureau undertake to review that as soon as possible and update the relevant criteria of the Manual so that the Government can follow a set of better criteria in the course of review and erecting additional installations?
但是，我想反映新界西和離島區的情況，在颱風"山竹"襲港後的數天，我曾前往視察。
Nonetheless I wish to speak on the situation of New Territories West and the outlying islands where I visited several days after the passage of Typhoon Mangkhut
例如南丫島索罟灣、坪洲以至梅窩一帶，我認為發展局應該考慮一個方向，就是政府將來會否在這類型的工作協調上，強化離島的民政事務處或民政事務專員的角色？
For example as regards places such as Lamma Islands Sok Kwu Wan Peng Chau and Mui Wo the Development Bureau should consider one thing and that is the Government should consider strengthening the roles of the Islands District Office and District Officer Islands in coordinating efforts at these several locations?
因為據我們的視察，其實每個部分也很零碎，甚至當區居民強調，風暴過後的那個星期內，根本沒有政府官員前往處理問題。
From our observation these locations are very much scattered . Some residents even told us that no government officials had been there to deal with the problems in the week after the passage of the typhoon
代理主席，超強颱風"山竹"襲港時，確實看到政府部門在預防方面做得較佳，我最深感受的是發展局同事處理鯉魚門的事。
Deputy President during the periods when Super Typhoon Mangkhut hit Hong Kong I could actually see that the Government had executed the preventive measures properly . I feel deeply about the assistance colleagues of the Development Bureau rendered residents living in Lei Yue Mun
因為過往鯉魚門也會被忽略，一般在颱風後政府才亡羊補牢。
It was because Lei Yue Mun had been neglected in the past . The Government would only take remedial measures after the passage of typhoons
但是，就這次鯉魚門一些低窪地方的預防工作上，我完全體會到，也親身感 受到發展局同事很用心處理。
However this time around the bureau had made some preventive efforts for low - lying locations in Lei Yue Mun . I can truly feel that colleagues of the Development Bureau had made a great effort in taking the preventive measures
然而，我很想局長知道，當局其實更需要從長遠考慮，想想有何辦法能改善低窪地方的水浸問題。
Nevertheless I very much hope the Secretary will realize that the authorities should make long - term considerations thinking up methods to ameliorate the flooding problem at these low - lying locations
局長，我關注的是西貢污水處理廠處理後的一級污水，即等同糞水流往海港其他範圍的情況。
Secretary my concern is about the sewage discharged into the harbour by the Sai Kung Sewage Treatment Works after primary treatment which is equivalent to the discharge of septic waste into other parts of the harbour direct
環保署在9月20日公布，但其實9月18日已有傳媒查詢關於鴨脷洲污水處理廠的情況，當時渠務署回應媒體沒有提過轄下其他設施有損毀。
The Environmental Protection Department EPD made the announcement on 20 September but actually the media had made an enquiry about the Ap Lei Chau Preliminary Treatment Works on 18 September . At that time no damage of facilities was mentioned in DSDs response to the media
代理主席，《2018年僱傭條例草案》是遲來的修訂。
Deputy President the amendments introduced under the Employment Amendment Bill 2018 the Bill have been long - overdue
侍產假在2015年生效，經過3年才進行檢討，而目標也只是將日數上調至與公務員對等的5天侍產假。
Paternity leave came into effect in 2015 . But a review is conducted only three years later and the objective is merely to increase the number of leave days to bring it on a par with the five days of paternity leave for civil servants
亦正因為檢討姍姍來遲，有議員提出修正案，要求因應本港的社會經濟發展進一步增加侍產假，把《條例草案》建議的5天侍產假改為7天，甚至是更長的14天，亦有議員要求將侍產假的薪酬款額增至全薪。
Also precisely because the review is long - overdue some Members have proposed amendments requesting to further increase the paternity leave in the light of Hong Kongs socio - economic development and amend it from five days as proposed by the Bill to seven days and even more to 14 days . Some Members also request to raise paternity leave pay to full pay
我身為代表勞工界的議員是完全理解的。
As a Member representing the labour sector I can totally understand all these requests
我對侍產假的態度始終如一，持兩項原則：第一，是盡可能完善《條例草案》，改善僱員權益，以及第二，讓相關的改善能盡快實施，讓僱員受惠。
My attitude towards paternity leave has remained the same throughout and I adhere to two principles First refining the Bill as far as possible to improve employee rights and interests; and second enabling the expeditious implementation of the relevant improvements to benefit employees
故此，身為勞工界議員，我將審慎考慮不同因素，作出投票決定。
Therefore as a Member of the labour sector I will consider various factors prudently before making my voting decision
遺憾的是，這項修正案不獲主席批准，未能提出。
Regrettably the amendment was rejected by the President and cannot be proposed
除一些技術性的原因外，對於每年檢討侍產假，政府回應指勞工及福利局局長會在適當時候檢討侍產假及其他僱員福利，無須以立法的方式達致此目標。
Apart from putting forth certain reasons of technicality the Governments reply regarding an annual review of paternity leave points out that the Secretary for Labour and Welfare will review paternity leave and other employee benefits as and when appropriate and that it is not necessary to achieve this objective by enacting legislation
對於這種說法，勞工界曾受教訓。
Speaking of this kind of assertion the labour sector has already learnt a bitter lesson
在立法會審議《最低工資條例草案》時，勞工界要求把每兩年一次調整最低工資改為每年一次，當時政府的回應便載有類似說法，表示會在該條例草案實施後再檢討是否落實每年調整最低工資。
During the scrutiny of the Minimum Wage Bill in the Legislative Council the labour sector requested to change the frequency of adjusting the minimum wage from once every two years to once a year . At the time the Government gave a similar assertion in its reply saying that it would conduct a further review after the implementation of the Minimum Wage Bill to review whether an annual adjustment of the minimum wage would be conducted
法定最 低工資已在2011年5月開始實施，至今已超過7年。
The implementation of the statutory minimum wage already began in May 2011 and over seven years have passed since then
儘管勞工界和社會支持勞工權益的團體一再要求政府落實每年調整最低工資，但政府彷彿完全忘記在審議最低工資時的承諾，對勞工界的要求置若罔聞。
Despite repeated calls from the labour sector and pro - labour rights groups in society for the Governments implementation of an annual adjustment of the minimum wage the Government seems to have totally forgotten the promise it made during the scrutiny of the minimum wage and pays no heed to the demand of the labour sector
前車可鑒，我們再難以相信政府所謂的"不時檢討"。
With this previous experience we can hardly believe the Governments assertion of conducting a review from time to time again
我們除要求政府每年檢討侍產假的日數外，亦認為需對更靈活使用侍產假進行檢討。
Apart from requesting the Government to review the number of paternity leave days every year we also think that it needs to examine how paternity leave can be used more flexibly
英國早於2015年便落實新的侍產假模式，把侍產假和分娩假組合在一起，成為夫妻分享的育嬰假。
Britain implemented a new paternity leave model in as early as 2015 and combined paternity leave and maternity leave into parental leave which could be shared between the husband and the wife
育嬰假並不複雜，只要女方提早完結分娩假重返工作，其未放取的分娩假便會成為育嬰假，可由父親放取。
Parental leave is not a complicated concept . As long as the wife ends her maternity leave earlier and returns to work her untaken maternity leave will become parental leave which can be taken by the husband
將分娩假和侍產假合流，在不增加任何日數下，同時更有利嬰兒的家長照顧嬰兒，我希望政府積極考慮有關建議。
Combining maternity leave and paternity leave without increasing the total number of leave days is more beneficial to parents who need to take care of their babies . I hope the Government can give active consideration to the idea
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：《2018年稅務條例草案》予以三讀並通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the Inland Revenue Amendment No . 3 Bill 2018 be read the Third time and do pass
兩名獲香港業餘游泳總會提名參與3個項目的泳手落選，其上訴亦遭駁回；反而另外3名成績較遜的泳手卻獲選出賽，而其中1名獲選泳手的父親據報是泳總執行委員會委員及兩個大型泳會的董事。
Two swimmers nominated by the Hong Kong Amateur Swimming Association HKASA to participate in three events were not selected and their appeals were also dismissed . On the contrary three other swimmers with inferior results were selected to participate in the competitions and it was reported that the father of one of the selected swimmers was a member of the Executive Committee of HKASA and a director of two big swimming clubs
代理主席，中國香港體育協會暨奧林匹克委員會是國際奧林匹克委員會和亞洲奧林匹克理事會的成員，負責遴選香港代表隊隊員出戰國際大型運動會，包括2018年亞洲運動會。
Deputy President the Sports Federation Olympic Committee of Hong Kong China SFOC is a member of the International Olympic Committee and the Olympic Council of Asia . It is responsible for selecting the Hong Kong Delegation to compete in major international multisport events including the 2018 Asian Games
今年的亞運會共有40個運動項目，每個項目均由相關的體育總會按其訂立的準則提名運動員，然後由港協暨奧委會的遴選委員會按既定準則進行遴選，以決定香港代表隊名單。
For each of the 40 sports in the 2018 Asian Games the related national sports association NSA nominated athletes for inclusion in the Delegation based on its established nomination criteria . These nominations were then submitted to the Selection Committee of SFOC for consideration with the established selection criteria
就林卓廷議員有關選拔游泳運動員的質詢，我已要求港協暨奧委會提供資料，現回覆如下： 一 今年亞運會的游泳比賽，男女子合計共有34項個人項目和7項接力項目。
Based on the information provided by SFOC my reply to Mr LAM Cheuk - tings question on the selection of swimmers is as follows 1 There were a total of 34 mens and womens individual swimming events and 7 relay swimming events at the 2018 Asian Games
參賽的運動員均是由香港業餘游泳總會提名。
All athletes who competed in these events were nominated by the Hong Kong Amateur Swimming Association HKASA
一般而言，泳總會提名每個項目在近年游出最快時間的兩名運動員，供港協暨奧委會考慮。
In general HKASA would nominate the two fastest swimming athletes based on their results in recent years for SFOCs consideration
港協暨奧委會的遴選委員會於今年4月24日召開會議，按照港協暨奧委會一貫的遴選準則，考慮泳總提交共37名運動員的提名。
The Selection Committee of SFOC held its meeting on 24 April 2018 to consider HKASAs nominations of 37 swimming athletes based on SFOCs established selection criteria
由於香港游泳運動員在個別項目的水平與國際水平有差異，港協暨奧委會除了考慮運動員在香港的排名外，亦須考慮運動員在國際大型賽事的表現。
In the light of the gaps between local and international levels of performance in certain swimming events SFOC had to give consideration to the athletes performances in major international competitions in addition to their rankings in Hong Kong
因此，港協暨奧委會在今年3月已通知所有體育總會選拔游泳項目的其中一項重要考慮因素，是運動員有否在遴選準則列明的國際大型賽事中，例如奧運會、亞運會、世錦賽和亞洲錦標賽等，達到訂明的成績水平，即獲得有關項目參賽人數前三分之一的排名。
SFOC had accordingly informed all NSAs including HKASA in March 2018 that the athletes attainment of the specified levels of performance that is top one - third ranking in related events at the specified major international competitions such as the Olympic Games Asian Games World Championships and Asian Championships would be a major factor for selection
換言之，泳總提名的運動員如果在國際大型賽事中未能排名前列位置，亦不會獲選為亞運會游泳代表隊隊員。
In other words a swimming athlete nominated by HKASA but without a top ranking result in major international competitions would not be selected as part of the Delegation
除此之外，遴選委員會亦會就泳總的備戰計劃，包括運動員的訓練和比賽詳情，作整體考慮。
Apart from the athletes results in recent years the Selection Committee would also take into account HKASAs preparation plan for the Asian Games including the training and competitions of swimming athletes in an overall assessment
經詳細討論後，遴選委員會決定接納33名游泳運動員的提名，選拔他們成為出戰今屆亞運會的香港代表隊隊員。
After detailed discussion the Selection Committee accepted the nominations of 33 swimming athletes and selected them as part of the Delegation
其餘4名運動員的提名則不獲接納，原因是他們的最佳成績並未能達到港協暨奧委會訂明的準則，以致有些項目並沒有運動員能成功入選，例如男子50米蝶泳和男子100米蛙泳項目；亦有項目只有1名運動員入選，例如男子50米背泳項目。
The nominations of the remaining four swimming athletes were rejected because their best results could not meet the selection criteria of SFOC . As a result some events such as mens 50 m butterfly and mens 100 m breaststroke were left with no swimming athletes selected; while some other events such as mens 50 m backstroke were left with only one swimming athlete selected
根據國際游泳聯會的規定，今年亞運會每項個人的游泳項目，香港可派出最多兩名運動員參賽。
According to the rules promulgated for the 2018 Asian Games by the International Swimming Federation Hong Kong was allowed to send a maximum of two athletes to compete in each individual swimming event
香港游泳代表隊總教練會視乎賽程和運動員是否需要參加接力賽，指派憑其他項目成績達標而獲選的港隊游泳代表參加未有足夠代表獲選的項目。
For swimming events with no or only one athlete selected the Head Coach of the Hong Kong Swimming Representative Team would subject to the competition schedule and the athletes participation in relay events assign athletes who had been selected to be part of the Delegation on the basis of results attained in other swimming events to compete in these swimming events
因此，在這情況下，獲派出賽的運動員在該 項目的成績，未必是所有運動員的最快時間。這是因為可能有其他運動員縱使有較快成績，但由於不符合港協暨奧委會的遴選準則而落選亞運會游泳代表隊。
In such a scenario the athlete assigned to compete in a swimming event might not have the fastest result among all swimming athletes as some other athletes might have a faster result in the same swimming event but still failed to secure selection to be part of the Delegation because the result did not meet the selection criteria of SFOC
二 根據港協暨奧委會的遴選機制，若體育總會不滿意遴選委員會的決定，可就其提名提供補充資料，並要求遴選委員會覆檢其決定。
2 In accordance with the selection mechanism of SFOC if an NSA is dissatisfied with the decisions of the Selection Committee it may provide supplementary information and request a review by the Selection Committee
若體育總會不滿覆檢結果，可進一步提供補充資料，並要求遴選委員會再次覆檢其決定，次數不限。
If an NSA is dissatisfied with the result of the review it may again submit supplementary information and request a further review by the Selection Committee . There is no limit on the number of rounds of review requested
若體育總會在覆檢後不滿結果，亦可選擇向港協暨奧委會的上訴委員會提出上訴。
If the NSA is dissatisfied with the result of a review it may also elect to file an appeal to the Appeal Panel of SFOC
根據港協暨奧委會提供的資料，泳總於今年5月17日獲通知游泳運動員的遴選結果，並於5月29日向港協暨奧委會提出要求覆檢3名運動員的提名，並向遴選委員會提交補充資料。
According to the information provided by SFOC HKASA received the selection results of the Selection Committee on swimming athletes on 17 May 2018 . HKASA provided supplementary information and requested a review by the Selection Committee on the nominations of three swimming athletes on 29 May
港協暨奧委會於6月19日通知泳總，遴選委員會經覆檢後維持原來決定，因為泳總提交的補充資料仍無法滿足遴選準則。
SFOC informed HKASA on 19 June that the Selection Committee maintained its original decision . This was because the supplementary information provided could not meet the selection criteria
泳總並沒有就覆檢結果提出上訴。
HKASA did not file an appeal on the results of the review
三 根據泳總提供的資料，在中央分配泳線計劃下，泳總推薦轄下屬會向康樂及文化事務署申請泳總獲分配的主泳池泳線和使用時段時，會按照這些屬會的年度累積分數訂立他們可享有的優先次序。
3 According to the information provided by HKASA it adopts an annual accumulative scoring system to determine the priority to be given to its affiliated clubs when recommending them to apply to the Leisure and Cultural Services Department for use of swimming lanes in main pools and sessions allocated to it under the Central Lane Allocation Scheme the Scheme
計算累積分數的準則，包括屬會歷史、註冊泳員人數、參賽人數及成績、泳員是否泳總訓練組隊員、泳員是否入選香港代表隊、紀錄刷新者或保持者、本地公開水域或游泳比賽排名等。
Under the scoring system the score of each affiliated club depends on a number of factors including the history of the club number of registered members number of members participated in competitions and their achievements whether its members are selected as HKASAs training team members whether its members are selected to join the Delegation whether its members are record - breakers or record - holders and its members rankings in Open Water Swimming or other swimming competitions . In other words whether club members are selected to be part of the Delegation is only one of the factors for earning points under the scoring system
例如，當討論遴選委員會主席為現任委員的體育總會的提名時，遴選委員會主席必須避席，並交由遴選委員會副主席接手主持該部分的討論和決議；或當討論遴選委員會委員為現任委員的體育總會的提名時，有關委 員則只可以所屬體育總會代表身份發言，並且不可投票。
For example if the Selection Committee is to discuss nominations by an NSA of which the Selection Committee Chairman is a committee member the Chairman is required to withdraw from that part of the meeting and the Vice Chairman should be asked to chair the discussion and resolution of the selection; or if the Selection Committee is to discuss nominations by an NSA of which a Selection Committee member is a committee member the member concerned should only take part in the discussion in the capacity of a representative of the NSA and is not allowed to vote
根據港協暨奧委會提供的資料，遴選委員會在討論泳總的提名時已跟從防止利益衝突的機制。
According to the information provided by SFOC the Selection Committee followed the mechanism for preventing conflicts of interests at its discussion of nominations by HKASA
"意思是，該4名泳手在50米的游泳項目中的時間最快，但由於未達標，因此不獲選。
In other words despite their fastest times in the respective 50 - m swimming events those four swimming athletes were not selected as they failed to meet the criteria
長此下去，有多少付出努力的香港運動員會不獲資格參加比賽呢？
While they are athletes who can jump the longest distance in Hong Kong they are unable to meet the selection criteria for the Olympic Games . So they are not selected even though they have the best results in Hong Kong . Nevertheless the head coach may make arrangements for them to participate in other events with unfilled quota places
局長的主體答覆提及，港協暨奧委會設有上訴機制。
As mentioned in the Secretarys main reply SFOC has put in place an appeal mechanism
不過，在此事上，泳總沒有就覆檢結果提出上訴。
But on this matter HKASA did not file an appeal against the review outcome
