法案委員會就《條例草案》作出了深入和詳細的討論。
The Bills Committee has held in - depth and detailed discussions over the Bill
有個別議員關注政府應否取消標準稅率，以縮窄貧富懸殊和增加政府收入。
Some Members were concerned about whether the Government should abolish the standard rate so as to narrow the wealth gap and increase tax revenue
如按應課稅入息實額計算得出的應繳稅款，多於以總入息淨額按標準稅率計算得出的應繳稅款，納稅人只須繳交金額較低的稅款。
If the tax payable on the basis of a persons net chargeable income exceeds the tax charged at the standard rate on the persons net total income the person is only required to pay the lower amount of tax
此制度符合香港奉行簡單低稅制的政策目的。
This regime aligns with the policy intent to maintain the simple and low tax system of Hong Kong
政府在現階段並無計劃取消薪俸稅的標準稅率，但會繼續不時檢討本港的稅制，包括稅階及各種稅項的稅率。
The Government has no plan at this stage to abolish the standard rate for salaries tax but it will continue to regularly review the taxation system of Hong Kong including the tax bands and rates of various taxes
代理主席，我懇請各位議員支持通過《條例草案》，讓我們能早日實施上述各項惠及納稅人的措施。
Deputy President I urge Members to support the passage of the Bill so that we can expeditiously implement the aforementioned measures that will benefit taxpayers
《條例草案》獲立法會通過後，稅務局將由7月底起發出的評稅通知書中，落實相關寬減措施。
Following the passage of the Bill by the Legislative Council the Inland Revenue Department will implement the relevant concessionary measures in notices of assessment to be issued from late July
另外，我亦小心聆聽了議員的意見，特別是法案委員會主席黃定光議員的意見，將來於適當的時機我們會作考慮。
In addition I have carefully listened to Members views particularly the views of Mr WONG Ting - kwong Chairman of the Bills Committee and we will consider such views as and when appropriate in the future
我也要特別提出，在研究任何稅務措施時，政府會考慮多方面因素，例如本地和外圍當時的經濟環境、政府的財務狀況，以及通脹情況等。
I would like to point out in particular that when studying any tax measures the Government will take into account factors in various areas such as the prevailing local and external economic environment the financial position of the Government and inflation
每年於準備預算案時，政府會全盤考慮各項因素，此舉比設立固定機制更靈活，以及能回應社會所需。
When preparing the Budget each year the Government will comprehensively take into account various factors . This provides more flexibility than introducing a permanent mechanism and can cater to social needs
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 Bill 2018 be read the Second time
《2018年稅務條例草案》。
Inland Revenue Amendment Bill 2018
主席，我發言支持《2017年僱傭條例草案》。
President I speak in support of the Employment Amendment Bill 2017 the Bill
嚴格來說，上屆立法會已近乎完成審議《2016 年僱傭條例草案》，當中只是就僱主不遵從復職或再次聘用令的補償金額出現分歧。
Strictly speaking the last Legislative Council had almost completed the scrutiny of the Employment Amendment Bill 2016 during which the only disagreement was the amount of compensation payable by employer for non - compliance with an order for reinstatement or re - engagement
根據勞顧會的共識，政府同意把違反復職或再次聘用令須支付額外款項的上限，由原本50,000元提高至72,500元。
Based on the consensus of LAB the Government has agreed to raise the ceiling of the further sum payable by the employer for non - compliance with an order for reinstatementre - engagement from the originally proposed 50,000 to 72,500
這並不是最理想的安排，有勞工界人士認為調整不足。
This is not the most ideal arrangement and some members of the labour sector have considered the adjustment inadequate
然而，我作為勞工界的代表，必須尊重勞顧會內勞資雙方達成的共識，亦希望以此作為完善僱員復職保障的起步點。
However as the representative of the labour sector I have to respect the consensus reached between employers and employees at LAB . I also hope that this will become the starting point for enhancing the protection of employees in respect of reinstatement
儘管現時《條例草案》沒有訂明檢討相關罰則的機制，但政府已承諾在落實相關建議後，在適當的情況下進行檢討。
Although at present the Bill has not set out a mechanism for reviewing the relevant penalties the Government has undertaken to conduct review where appropriate after the implementation of the relevant proposals
我希望政府能履行承諾，在建議落實一段時間後，檢討《僱傭條例》的執行情況，包括調高相關的補償金額。
I hope that the Government will honour its pledge by reviewing the operation of the Employment Ordinance sometime after the implementation of the proposals including the upward adjustment of the amount of compensation
這項《條例草案》是政府就張超雄議員的修正案交回勞顧會討論的成果。
The Bill is the outcome of the discussion on the amendments of Dr Fernando CHEUNG reverted to LAB by the Government
我理解修正案的目的。
I understand the purpose of the amendments
主席，我今天大開眼界，工會代表和商界代表竟然口徑一致。
President seeing a trade union representative and a business representative speak with one voice today was an eye - opener for me
剛才自由黨鍾國斌議員說，工聯會陸頌雄議員的講稿若由他讀出，也無不可。
Just now Mr CHUNG Kwok - pan of the Liberal Party said that it would not be a problem if he were to read out the script of the speech delivered by Mr LUK Chung - hung of The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions FTU
我相信香港的"打工仔"看在眼裏，更了解為何我們今天會有這項討論。
I believe that after seeing this wage earners in Hong Kong have gained a better understanding of why we are having this discussion today
為何要有法例保障"打工仔"？
Why do we need legislation to safeguard wage earners?
就是因為勞資雙方並非在對等的情況下進行談判或辯論，因此有需要在法例上為"打工仔"提供保障。
This is because employers and employees are not on an equal footing when they negotiate or debate with each other . That is why we need to provide legislative safeguards for wage earners
主席，今年2月，月薪車長大聯盟因不滿九巴的薪酬調整方案，發起了一次罷駛，嘗試爭取與資方對話的機會。
President in February this year dissatisfied with a pay adjustment package announced by Kowloon Motor Bus KMB the Monthly - Paid Bus Drivers Alliance staged a strike in an attempt to seek an opportunity for dialogue with the management
可是，聯盟發起人葉蔚琳、與她一同參與罷駛的丈夫劉卓恆，以及另外兩名參與的車長，卻在罷駛行動的11天後，遭九巴秋後算帳，九巴指4名車 長嚴重違反公司守則，即時解僱他們。
However YIP Wai - lam founder of the Alliance and her husband LAU Cheuk - hang who joined her in the strike as well as two other participating bus drivers were subjected to reprisal by KMB 11 days after the strike . KMB alleged that the four bus drivers had seriously violated the companys rules and dismissed them summarily
這是活生生擺在我們眼前的事例。
This was a real - life incident that happened before our very eyes
我們看看數字，香港在2012年至2016年期間，每年只有1至3宗罷工事件，唯獨2013年曾出現包括碼頭工潮在內的7宗罷工。
In each of the years from 2012 to 2016 only one to three strikes took place in Hong Kong except in 2013 which saw seven strikes including the container terminal labour dispute
對比很多其他發達國家，情況相差很遠。
This was in stark contrast to the situations in many other developed countries
舉例而言，在2013年，英國就有114宗罷工，而日本和韓國這兩個鄰近我們的亞洲國家，亦分別有71宗和72宗。
For example in 2013 114 strikes took place in the United Kingdom and there were 71 and 72 strikes respectively in Japan and South Korea two of our neighbouring Asian countries
可惜的是，香港的罷工次數低並非因為我們的勞工權益較這些國家好；相反，這是因為香港法例根本沒有妥善或充分保障遭不合理解僱的"打工仔"。
Sadly the number of strikes in Hong Kong is small not because we have better labour rights and interests than those countries but because the laws of Hong Kong simply do not provide proper or sufficient safeguards for wage earners who are unreasonably dismissed
主席，如果香港的"打工仔"因罷工而遭解僱，又或被老闆或上司針對，罷工的代價便很高。
President if Hong Kong wage earners should be dismissed or picked on by their bosses or supervisors for striking the price they have to pay for striking is very high
在香港現行法例下，遭不合理及不合法解僱的員工必須得到僱主批准才可復職。
Under the existing laws of Hong Kong unreasonably and unlawfully dismissed employees may not be reinstated unless with their employers approval
換言之，若工會代表被資方秋後算帳，即使勞資審裁處裁定為不合法解僱，員工仍要先獲得僱主同意才可復職。
In other words where a trade union representative has been subjected to reprisal by his employer even if the Labour Tribunal rules that it is a case of unlawful dismissal the employee may not be reinstated unless with the employers prior consent
主席，各位香港市民，試問一心想解僱工會代表從而削弱工會實力的僱主，又怎會心甘情願地批准工會代表復職呢？
President and fellow Hong Kong citizens as the employer is bent on dismissing the trade union representative in order to weaken the strength of the trade union how would it be possible for the employer to willingly approve the reinstatement of the trade union representative?
所以，在香港現行法例下，所謂復職令只是"無牙老虎"，不但未能保障"打工仔"，客觀上更縱容僱主解僱他們眼中不聽話的工會成員。
Thus under the existing laws of Hong Kong a so - called order for reinstatement is just a toothless tiger which not only fails to safeguard wage earners but also objectively condones employers dismissal of trade union members whom they consider disobedient
勞工處曾統計，在1997年7月至2011年12月期間遭不合理及不合法解僱的僱員中，只有三成要求復職的僱員最終獲重新聘用。
According to the statistics compiled by the Labour Department only 30 % of the employees who were unreasonably and unlawfully dismissed between July 1997 and December 2011 and requested reinstatement were eventually rehired
數據顯示，"打工仔"即使遭老闆不公平對待，現時的法律機制也無法有效保障僱員的復職權；即是空有復職令，沒有復職權。
The statistics show that even if wage earners are unfairly treated by their bosses the current legal mechanism cannot effectively safeguard the employees right to reinstatement; that is to say even if there is an order for reinstatement there is no right to reinstatement
主席，引入"不合理及不合法解僱"的概念，是為了保護因懷孕、工傷及組織工會等無關工作表現的理由，而遭僱主解僱的"打工仔"。
President the purpose of introducing the concept of unreasonable and unlawful dismissal is to protect wage earners dismissed by their employers for reasons unrelated to their work performance such as pregnancy injuries at work and forming trade unions
然而，多年來，由於《僱傭條例》的漏洞，不合理解僱的個案即使獲頒布復職或再次聘用的命令，也必須獲得僱主同意才能生效。
However over the years due to the loopholes in the Employment Ordinance even if an order for reinstatement or re - engagement was made in a case of unreasonable dismissal the order could not take effect unless with the employers consent
換言之，不合理地開除員工的僱主，變相擁有不合理解僱的特權，令"打工仔"失去保障。
In other words employers who have unreasonably dismissed their employees are in effect entitled to the privilege of unreasonable dismissal leaving wage earners unprotected
其實，勞工處早在1999年已經檢討《僱傭條例》，當時的建議是，在處理不合理及不合法解僱的個案時，勞資審裁處如認為適當而 合理切實可行，即可頒布復職令，無須取得僱主同意。
In fact as early as 1999 the Labour Department already reviewed the Employment Ordinance and it was proposed that when dealing with a case of unreasonable and unlawful dismissal the Labour Tribunal should have the power to make an order for reinstatement if it considered it appropriate and reasonably practicable to do so without having to secure the employers consent
改善復職令是政府超過17年的政策承諾，但政府做過甚麼？
Refining the mechanism for making orders for reinstatement is a policy commitment made by the Government more than 17 years ago but what has the Government done?
政府多年來均採取拖字訣，一直沒有修正《僱傭條例》。
It has been procrastinating and has not amended the Employment Ordinance over the years
現時放在我們面前的《條例草案》並不完善，亦非盡善盡美，日後要再修訂將更加困難。
The Bill before us right now is not flawless or perfect . It would be more difficult to make further amendments in the future
主席，《條例草案》原本在今年1月便可恢復二讀，但政府當時卻以張超雄議員提出的修正案偏離勞工顧問委員會的共識為由這與工聯會陸頌雄議員剛才發言時提及的共識政治很相似撤回《條例草案》，使其無法二讀，拖延了立法會的審議。
President originally the Second Reading debate on the Bill could have resumed in January this year but at the time the Government withdrew the Bill on the grounds that the amendments proposed by Dr Fernando CHEUNG were deviations from the consensus of the Labour Advisory Board LAB―this is very similar to the consensus politics mentioned by Mr LUK Chung - hung of FTU in his speech just now―thus preventing the Bill from being read the Second time and delaying this Councils consideration of the Bill
其實，主席已經批准張議員的修正案，證明他的修正案符合修訂範圍，但當時政府卻認為他的修正案不合其心意，突然撤回《條例草案》，更假戲真做地發還勞顧會諮詢。
Actually the fact that the President had given the green light to Dr CHEUNGs amendments was proof that his amendments were within the scope of the Bill but as the Government disliked his amendments it suddenly withdrew the Bill and farcically returned it to LAB for consultation
主席，結果在4個月後，《條例草案》原封不動地再次提交立法會審議。
President the result was that after four months the Bill was resubmitted in its original form to this Council for scrutiny
這樣做的客觀效果，當然是令《條例草案》避過了3月11日立法會補選的敏感時間。
The objective effect of doing so was of course that the Bill avoided the sensitive timing of the Legislative Council By - election held on 11 March
所以，有報章報道，政府"kill bill"是為了"阿彪"，令有鄧家彪做勞顧會成員的工聯會避免尷尬，無須在補選期間就有爭議的《條例草案》修正案投票。
That was why it was reported in the press that the Government killed the Bill for the sake of TANG Ka - piu an FTU member appointed to LAB so as to save FTU from being put in the awkward situation of having to vote on the controversial amendments to the Bill during the by - election period
陸頌雄議員剛才用"捕風捉影"、"扣帽子"等字眼來形容另一位議員的評論，並一次又一次地批評張超雄議員明明合乎修訂範圍的修正案，說成十惡不赦一般。
Just now Mr LUK Chung - hung used such words as unfounded and labelling to describe another Members comments and criticized Dr Fernando CHEUNGs clearly admissible amendments over and over again as if they were too wicked to be pardoned
事實上，任何一位議員即使沒有在法案委員會提出修正案，也有權提出修正案，但張超雄議員卻被工聯會議員在二讀辯論中大力批評。
As a matter of fact any Member had the right to propose amendments even if he did not propose amendments at a meeting of the Bills Committee and yet Dr Fernando CHEUNG was fiercely criticized by the Member from FTU in the Second Reading debate
主席，各位香港市民，解決了提出問題的人並不代表解決了問題。
President and fellow Hong Kong citizens fixing the person who brought up the problem does not mean that the problem has been fixed
為何我支持張超雄議員提出的修正案呢？
Why do I support Dr Fernando CHEUNGs amendments?
主要原因是相對於政府提出的修訂，他的修正案更能使法例確保只有在特定的情況下，僱主才可用已另聘人手為由不讓僱員復職，從而確保僱主不能藉詞不讓僱員復職。
The main reason is that compared with the Governments amendments his amendments can better enable the legislation to ensure that only under specific circumstances can employers refuse to reinstate employees on the grounds of having engaged other people so as to ensure that employers have no excuse not to reinstate employees
張超雄議員的修正案亦將僱主不遵守復職令的僱員賠償，由僱員月薪的3倍，上限72,500元，增至僱員月薪的6倍，並不設上限。
Also Dr Fernando CHEUNGs amendments seek to increase the amount of compensation to be paid to the employee in the event of the employers failure to comply with the order for reinstatement from three times the employees average monthly wages to be capped at 72,500 to six times the employees average monthly wages with no cap
我的理解是，由於政府方案的門檻不高，等同讓僱主可"買起"僱員的復職權，而且上限只是72,500元，對僱主的阻嚇力不足，對僱員而言亦是無從選擇，只能接受。
My understanding is that as the threshold in the Governments proposal is not high it means that the employer would be able to buy up the employees right to reinstatement and with a cap of just 72,500 the sum to be paid would not serve as a sufficient deterrent to the employer and the employee would have no choice but to accept it
故此，任何議員、工會或工會代表，如果站在勞工的角度和立場，不可能會反對張議員提出的修正案。
Therefore it is impossible for any Member trade union or trade union representative on the side of employees to oppose Dr CHEUNGs amendments
我們不應為了辯論、談判和繼續討論，而反對張議員的修正案。
We should not oppose Dr CHEUNGs amendments for the sake of debate negotiation and continuous discussion
陸頌雄議員剛才說"贏了一顆糖，輸了一間廠"。
Just now Mr LUK Chung - hung talked about being penny - wise and pound - foolish
對我而言，張議員的修正案就是"廠"。
To me Dr CHEUNGs amendments are the pound
陸議員不斷提及所謂的共識政治，又搬出唯物辯證法，討論矛盾與統一，理念與實際；這種討論其實是一顆"糖"，我們不能墮入陷阱，在"打工仔"面前說要不斷討論，永續爭取便好像是解決問題之道。
Mr LUK kept referring to what he called consensus politics and cited dialectical materialism as the basis of his discussion on contradictions vis - à - vis unity and ideals vis - à - vis reality . That kind of discussion is actually the penny . We must not fall into the trap of preaching to wage earners that we have to engage in continuous discussion or perpetual striving as if it were the solution
主席，政府不能一再以勞顧會的共識作為擋箭牌，因為《條例草案》本身是針對不合理及不合法解僱僱員的僱主，而尋求資方完全同意的方案，其實等同犧牲勞工權益。
President the Government cannot repeatedly use the consensus of LAB as a shield because the Bill itself is targeted at employers who unreasonably and unlawfully dismiss their employees and seeking a solution totally agreeable to employers is actually tantamount to sacrificing labour rights and interests
以我開始發言時提到的九巴車長罷駛事件為例，若非罷駛行動受到香港市民和媒體的關注和施壓，九巴作為資方根本不會讓步，根本不會收回解僱的決定。
Take for example the KMB drivers strike mentioned by me at the start of my speech . If the people and media of Hong Kong had not expressed concern about the strike and exerted pressure on KMB KMB as the employer simply would not have made a concession and withdrawn its decision to dismiss the bus drivers
我當天凌晨與多位民主派議員到九巴荔枝角車廠聲援那幾位車長，事件歷歷在目。
In the small hours of the material day a number of pro - democracy Members and I went to KMBs Lai Chi Kok Depot to support the several bus drivers
目前的現實是勞資關係嚴重失衡，"打工仔"的聲音在政府制訂勞工政策的過程中，很多時都沒有受到應有的重視，甚至可以說是被忽視。
The incident is still fresh in my mind . What we now see in reality is a serious imbalance in labour relations . The voice of wage earners is often denied the attention it deserves or even ignored in the process of formulation of labour policies by the Government
"打工仔"的權益並未獲得應有的保障，政府亦沒有做好本分，好好維護"打工仔"的權益，反而不斷把責任推卸給勞顧會。
The rights and interests of wage earners are not duly protected nor has the Government done its part to properly safeguard their rights and interests . Rather it keeps passing the buck to LAB
勞顧會本身的代表性也備受質疑和爭議，讓委任的勞資雙方代表協商，得出的後果或方案往往是資方受到偏袒，勞工權益受到漠視。
Nonetheless the representativeness of LAB is questionable and debatable as the outcomes of or solutions emerging from negotiations between appointed representatives of employers and employees are often biased in favour of employers to the neglect of labour rights and interests
因此，主席，我代表新民主同盟支持二讀《條例草案》，並支持張超雄議員的修正案。
Therefore President on behalf of the Neo Democrats I support the Second Reading of the Bill as well as Dr Fernando CHEUNGs amendments
我希望政府接納建議，真正承擔責任，從善如流地保障"打工仔"的復職權。
I hope the Government will accept his proposals genuinely take responsibility and readily follow good advice in safeguarding employees right to reinstatement
不斷協商和共識政治並非解決問題的真正方法。
Relying on continuous discussion and consensus politics is not a real solution
主席，我謹此陳辭，希望政府聆聽香港"打工仔"的心聲。
With these remarks President I hope the Government will listen to the voice of wage earners in Hong Kong
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 Bill 2018 be read the Third time and do pass
上月19日，九龍城發生一宗釀成一死四傷的嚴重交通意外，而涉事的四部車輛同告損毀。
On the 19 of last month a serious traffic accident occurred in Kowloon City killing one person and injuring four others and all of the four vehicles involved in the accident were damaged
有保險業人士指出，車輛如被用作白牌車，有關的第三者風險保險或會因而失效。
Some members of the insurance industry have pointed out that the third party risks insurance for vehicles being used as white licence cars may be rendered invalid as a result of such use
儘管有關的網約車平台聲稱已為涉事的白牌車投購第三者風險保險，但從未公開有關保單的詳情。
While the e - hailing platform concerned claimed that a third party risks insurance policy had been taken out for the white licence car concerned the details of the relevant policy have never been made public
關於白牌車服務，政府可否告知本會： 一有否評估在涉及白牌車的交通意外中，白牌車的司機和乘客、其他涉事車輛的司機和乘客，以及途人等現時受到甚麼保險保障；及二會否在公眾教育、立法及執法層面加強打擊白牌車服務，例如提醒市民乘坐白牌車可能沒有第三者風險保險保障、修訂法例以加重對白牌車司機的罰則，以及設立舉報熱線；如會，詳情為何；如否，有何其他措施杜絕白牌車服務？
Regarding white licence cars service will the Government inform this Council 1 whether it has assessed the insurance protection currently provided for the drivers and passengers of white licence cars the drivers and passengers of other vehicles the passers - by etc involved in traffic accidents involving white licence cars; and 2 whether it will step up from the public education legislation and law enforcement fronts its efforts in clamping down on white licence cars service such as reminding members of the public that they may not be protected by a third party risks insurance if they travel on white licence cars amending the legislation to raise the penalties on drivers of white licence cars as well as setting up a reporting hotline; if so of the details; if not what other measures are in place to eradicate white licence cars service?
主席，政府一直關注私家車非法載客取酬的情況。
President the Government has all along been concerned about the situation on illegal carriage of passengers for reward by private cars
就易志明議員的主體質詢各部分提問，現答覆如下： 一 財經事務及庫務局表示，私家車的第三者風險保險合約一般會要求投保人提供有關車輛用途的資料，作為核保基礎。
272 . My reply to the various parts of Mr Frankie YICKs question is as follows 1 As advised by the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau when taking out a third party risks insurance policy for a private car the policyholder is generally required to provide information on the uses of the vehicle which will form the basis of underwriting
如果投保人沒有如實披露車輛會用作出租或取酬，該保單可能會失效。
If the policyholder fails to truthfully disclose that the vehicle will be used for hire or reward the policy may be invalidated
按照保險業界處理交通意外的一貫慣例，保險公司會首先向車禍引致傷亡的第三者作出賠償，然後再向車主索償；如果車主或司機身亡，保險公司仍有權向其遺產索償。
Based on the established practice of the insurance industry in handling traffic accident cases the insurance company will first compensate the third party whose injury or death has been caused by the traffic accident and then recover the loss from the vehicle owner . If the vehicle owner or driver has died in the accident the insurance company is still entitled to recover the loss from the estate of the deceased
法定第三者保險的保障範圍，並不包括車主或司機本人的人身傷亡。
The coverage of statutory third party risks insurance does not include the personal injury or death of the vehicle owner or driver
就易議員於質詢所指的該宗交通意外，據保險業監管局從有關保險公司了解，網約車公司"Uber"購買的保險，目的是為乘客及第三者在汽車共乘車程中引致的傷亡提供保障。
As for the traffic accident referred to in Mr Frankie YICKs question the Insurance Authority IA understands from the relevant insurance company that the insurance policy taken out by online car hailing company Uber aims to insure passengers and third parties against injury or death caused by ride - sharing trips
為免影響調查及隨後的法律程序，財經事務及庫務局和保險業監管局均不便就車禍作出評論。
In order not to affect the investigation and subsequent legal proceedings the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau and IA will not comment on the accident
二 政府一直透過宣傳教育和執法，打擊非法載客取酬活動。
2 The Government has been combating illegal carriage of passengers for reward through publicity and education campaigns as well as law enforcement efforts
在宣傳教育方面，運輸署一直透過不同渠道，包括在電台播放宣傳聲帶、在運輸署網頁展示出租汽車許可證的樣本，以及在公眾地方張貼海報等，向公眾宣傳在使用出租汽車服務時，須確保有關私家車持有有效的出租汽車許可證，以及教育公眾如何辨別已領有牌照的出租汽車。
In respect of publicity and education campaigns the Transport Department TD has been making use of various channels including broadcasting announcements of public interest on radio displaying samples of HCPs on the TDs website and putting up posters in public places . These efforts serve to promote to the public that when they use hire car service they should ensure the private car concerned is issued with a valid HCP; and educate the public on how to identify licensed hire cars
運輸署在有關的宣傳教育中，已同時提醒市民非法出租汽車的第三者風險保險或已失效。
In the related publicity and education campaigns TD has also reminded the public that the third party risks insurance for an illegal hire car may be invalidated
運輸署將會進一步加強公眾教育的工作，包括增加宣傳聲帶的播放渠道和在電台的播放次數，以及在更多的政府場地張貼海報等。
TD will further strengthen public education work including increasing the number of channels for broadcasting announcements of public interest and the frequency of such broadcast on radio increasing the number of government venues for displaying posters etc
運輸署並會透過運輸署的流動應用程式，宣傳該署設於"香港政府一站通"的出租汽車許可證網上查詢系統，以及與運輸業界保持溝通，提醒司機切勿以身試法。
TD will keep up with its efforts to promote the online enquiry system for HCP on the GovHK website through the TDs mobile applications and continue to communicate with the transport trades so as to remind drivers of the need to abide by the law
此外，警方會繼續在進行非法載客取酬的執法行動後，安排會見傳媒，向公眾宣傳使用非法出租汽車服務的風險，並提醒市民有關出租車的第三者風險保險或已失效。
In addition the Police will continue to arrange stand - up briefings with the media after taking enforcement actions on illegal carriage of passengers for reward . In the briefings the Police will publicize the risks involved in using illegal hire car service and remind citizens that the third party risks insurance for the hire car concerned may be invalidated
另一方面，政府一直對違規的載客取酬行為嚴厲執法，絕不縱容。
On the other hand the Government has been taking stern enforcement actions against illegal carriage of passengers for reward and will not condone such activities
《條例》第52條及附表4已列明，使用私家車或輕型貨車作非法載客取酬；或招攬或企圖招攬他人乘坐此類汽車的違例人士，如屬首次被定罪，可處罰款5,000元及監禁3個月，涉案車輛的牌照亦可予暫時吊銷3個月；如屬第二次或隨後再次被定罪，則可處罰款10,000元及監禁6個月。
Section 52 and Schedule 4 of RTO stipulate that an offender who uses a private car or light goods vehicle LGV for the illegal carriage of passengers for reward or who solicits or attempts to solicit any person to travel in such vehicles is liable to a fine of 5,000 and three months imprisonment on the first conviction . The licence of the subject vehicle may also be suspended for three months . On the second or subsequent conviction the offender is liable to a fine of 10,000 and six months imprisonment
