我希望大家能夠善用會議時間，個別議員亦可以其議員身份在不同場合調停社會紛爭，但不應要求暫停會議。
I hope that Members can make good use of the meeting time . Individual Members can in their capacity as Members mediate social disputes on different occasions but they should not request the meeting be suspended
我會嚴格按照《議事規則》主持會議，亦請保安人員了解是哪位議員放置發聲物件，妨礙會議進行。
I will preside over the meeting in strict compliance with RoP . Will security personnel please see which Member has placed the sound device to disrupt the proceedings of the meeting
我現在不會與你們辯論，我請保安人員立即移除發聲物件，讓本會繼續進行會議。
I am not going to debate with you . Will security personnel please immediately remove the sound device so that the meeting can proceed
我們稍後會調查是哪位議員放置該物件。
We will investigate which Member has placed the device later
倘若議員再次就我剛才的決定提出規程問題，我將不會處理，因為我已作出決定。
If Members raise further points of order on the decision I made just now I will not deal with them because I have made a decision
議員如對我的決定有意見，可在其他場合與我討論。
If Members have any views on my decision you can discuss with me on other occasions
大致上，大多數地區，特別是設有民主選舉制度的國家或地區都不設國歌法，原因很簡單，當一個地區的人民真心誠意尊重政府或國歌，便無須使用任何罰則。
Generally speaking most regions especially countries or regions with a democratic election system do not have national anthem laws . The reason is simple When people truly and sincerely respect the Government or the national anthem there is no need to impose penalty
中國現時經常輸出孔儒文化，眾所周知，全球有很多孔子學院，即使有部分由於不同原因已關閉。
At present China often exports Confucian culture and as we all know there are many Confucius Institutes in the world but some of them have been closed for different reasons
談到孔子、儒家，必須引用先賢孟子的說話："以德服人者，中心悅而誠服也。
When it comes to Confucius and Confucianism we must quote the words of the sage Mencius When one subdues men by virtue in their hearts core they are pleased
"反之，"以力服人者，非心服也"。
On the contrary When one by force subdues men they do not submit to him in heart
目前建制派經常把和平、守法、尊重社會掛在口邊，其實這些道理數千年前已有記載，孔孟早已教導國家領導人視民如子，將所有人民當作親人般對待和尊重，如是者所有事情也會好辦得多。
The pro - establishment camp often talks about peace law - abiding and respect for society; these truths have actually been recorded thousands of years ago . Confucius and Mencius taught state leaders to treat people like their own children . If they treated and respected all people as family members everything could be handled easily
然而，特區政府對待市民時卻倒行逆施，我舉一個眾所周知的例子。
However the SAR Government treats the public in a perverse way . Let me give a well - known example
政府去年逼於無奈取消《逃犯條例》。
Last year the Government reluctantly withdrew the Fugitive Offenders Bill
如能令香港人心悅誠服，政府又何需用重典？
If Hong Kong people are pleased in their hearts core why should the Government impose heavy penalties?
警方剛剛在中環使用催淚煙、催淚彈、胡椒球彈，暫時只欠橡膠子彈。
Just now the Police have used tear smoke tear gas and pepper ball guns in Central; the only firearm not being used for the time being is rubber bullet
根據目前的建議，內地部門可以在香港執法，這等同用驚嚇手段治港。
As currently suggested the Mainland authorities can enforce laws in Hong Kong which is tantamount to governing Hong Kong by threatening means
用這些方法迫使香港人順服，究竟是制度出了問題，還是政府出了問題？
Hong Kong people are forced to comply; is there something wrong with the system or with the Government?
我記得我們當時問他，李克勤的"球迷奇遇記"、黎明的"全日愛"等流行曲，會否因曲調與國歌相似而被視為貶損國家？
I remember that we asked him at that time whether Hacken LEEs Adventure of Football Fans and Leon LAIs All Day Love and other popular songs would be regarded as disrespectful of the country because the scores were similar to the national anthem
聶局長當時笑笑說，"球迷奇遇記"和"全日愛"沒有問題，初步過關。
Secretary Patrick NIP smiled and said at the time that there were no problems with the songs Adventure of Football Fans and All Day Love
究竟是法官有問題，還是政府有問題？
Are there problems with the judges or with the Government?
政治無情，打壓是真實。
Politics is ruthless and suppression is true
我根據《議事規則》第162條要求動議休會待續議案，以便就全國人民代表大會審議為香港訂立國安法進行辯論。
In accordance with Rule 162 of the Rules of Procedure RoP I propose moving a motion for the adjournment of this Council to debate the deliberation of the National Peoples Congress NPC to enact a national security law in Hong Kong
主席，全國人大正在北京審議為香港訂立國安法，引起各界，以至國際社會的憂慮甚至極度恐慌。
President the national security law currently being discussed in Beijing by NPC has aroused worries and even extreme fears among various sectors and even in the international community
這種氣氛差不多有如1980年代香港前途談判的氣氛，觸發嚴重的信心危機，"一國兩制"在現時這刻可說是最大的轉捩點。
The current atmosphere resembles that of the serious crisis of confidence in the 1980s triggered by the negotiations held on Hong Kongs future . It is now the biggest turning point for one country two systems
我希望本會現即休會待續，以就下述事項進行辯論： 鑒於全國人大正審議《全國人民代表大會關於建立健全香港特別行政區維護國家安全的法律制度和執行機制的決定》》")，將授權全國人大常務委員會為香港訂立港區國安法，更可能有追溯權。
I hope the Council will now adjourn for the purpose of debating the following issue The draft Decision on establishing and improving the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to safeguard national security which is currently being deliberated by NPC will authorize the Standing Committee of NPC to enact with possible retroactive effect a national security law in Hong Kong
第一，《決定》針對4宗罪，當中分裂國家、顛覆政府、外國干預均是《基本法》第二十三條列明，屬於本港自行立法規管的範圍。
First the draft Decision will target four offences among which secession subversion of state power and foreign intervention fall within the scope of the legislation to be enacted by Hong Kong on its own under Article 23 of the Basic Law
此舉有否僭越本港立法權力，違反"高度自治"原則？
Is this a usurpation of the legislative powers of Hong Kong violating the high degree of autonomy principle?
第二，《決定》列明中央維護國家安全的機構會來港設立機構，究竟包括甚麼機關及如何運作？
Second the draft Decision provides for a national security agency to be set up in Hong Kong by the Central Government . Exactly what kind of agency is to be set up and how will it operate?
不過，我們看到今天這裏劃一條紅線，第二天那裏又劃一條紅線。
However we see a red line being drawn here today and another red line being drawn there the next day
謝偉銓議員剛才提到北京政府的做法，又說"我們'抵死'"、"敬酒不喝喝罰酒"、"終於知道味道了"，我們表示擔心有何問題？
Just now Mr Tony TSE talked about the practice of the Beijing Government; and he said serve you right refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit and finally know the taste . What is wrong with expressing our worries?
如需解釋某些事實，藉以述明背景，令人了解有關法例，則使用弁言是適當的。
A preamble is appropriate if an explanation of certain facts is necessary to provide a context in which to understand the legislation
弁言最好留作這種特殊情況之用"。
It is best reserved for such exceptional cases
這是香港人的憂慮，也是令我們最擔心的事情。
This is the concern of Hong Kong people and it is also something that we are most worried about
可以批評中央政府的嗎？
Could we criticize the Central Government?
如果沒有抗日戰爭，怎會有這首抗日歌曲？
How could this anti - Japanese song come about if the Anti - Japanese War has not taken place?
如果田漢在文革期間未被扣上"資產階級反動學術權威"的帽子，他會有甚麼下場？
If TIAN Han was not tagged with the label bourgeois reactionary academic authority during the Cultural Revolution what would happen to him?
主席，這段有關文革的歷史，是"利多於弊"還是"弊多於利"呢？
President did this part of the history of the Cultural Revolution do more good than harm or do more harm than good?
主席，我不知道中央政府把港區國安法視作一種測試，我也沒有想到"送中條例"會引發這麼大的風波，但港區國安法確實令很多市民感到惶恐，不是因為他們會犯法，而是他們很客觀地擔憂港區國安法會落在甚麼人手上？
President I do not know that the Central Government regards the Hong Kong national security law as a test and I have not imagined that the China extradition law will cause such a huge disturbance but the Hong Kong national security law really makes many people terrified . It is not because they will break the law but because they are objectively worried about who is going to deal with the Hong Kong national security law
有甚麼人會受到影響？
Who will be affected?
我們看到，行政機關有法必用，更用到最盡，令他們手上多了一種法律武器。
The Executive Authorities will certainly exploit the law to the fullest so that they will have an extra legal weapon in hand
特區政府怎樣使用這種法律武器呢？
How will the SAR Government exploit this legal weapon?
所以，香港人要"企硬"！
Therefore Hong Kong people stand strong!
主席，我發言支持《國歌條例草案》。
President I speak in support of the National Anthem Bill the Bill
香港實行"一國兩制"、"高度自治"，不是國際共管。
Hong Kong is governed under the principles of one country two systems and a high degree of autonomy; it is not governed by the international community
反對派在審議《條例草案》期間的表現屬於"政治幼稚"，即使這麼小的憲制責任，他們也不懂得互相尊重，好好處理中央與地方關係，反而不惜癱瘓內務委員會超過半年，多次高調表明反對《條例草案》。
During the scrutiny of the Bill the performance of the opposition camp can be said to be politically naïve . In dealing with such a minor constitutional obligation the opposition camp has failed to show mutual respect . Instead of properly handling the relationship between the Central Authorities and the local government they have paralysed the House Committee for more than six months and repeatedly vowed in a high - profile manner that they opposed the Bill
不過，回歸23年，反對派很多時候只要聽到牽涉主權便會反抗，誤導市民說這是剝奪言論自由。
However 23 years after the reunification the opposition camp very often rises to oppose anything related to the sovereignty; they will mislead the public by saying that they will be deprived of their freedom of expression
我聽了多位議員同事的發言，他們並沒有指出中國本來並沒有訂立國歌法。
I have listened to the speeches made by a number of Honourable colleagues but no one pointed out that China originally did not enact the national anthem law
"樹欲靜而風不息"，為甚麼中國要在2017年通過訂立《中華人民共和國國歌法》？
While the tree may long for calmness the wind will not subside . Why did China pass the Law of the Peoples Republic of China on the National Anthem in 2017?
我剛才聽到郭家麒議員說，似乎連內地的國際學校也沒有這樣的要求。
Just now I heard Dr KWOK Ka - ki say that even international schools on the Mainland have not imposed such requirements
根據以往的經驗，《中華人民共和國國旗法》正是透過當地立法實施，並經法律適應化而成為香港法例。
Based on past experience the Law of the Peoples Republic of China on the National Flag was enacted by way of local legislation and became the law of Hong Kong after adaptation
再者，本地有案例，實行得非常好。
In addition there are local cases of successful implementation
郭榮鏗議員剛才一直提及《公約》第十九條有關誹謗的規定，但他並沒有提到第十九條訂明人人皆享有表達自由之餘，亦表明這些自由不是絕對的。
Mr Dennis KWOK just now repeatedly referred to Article 19 of ICCPR on libel but he has not mentioned that Article 19 provides that everyone enjoys the right to freedom of expression and that such freedom is not absolute
在保障國家安全、公共秩序、公共衞生和風化方面，不同的國家可以作出一定的規限。
Different countries may impose a certain degree of regulation on the protection of national security public order public health and sex crimes
如果翻看1999年吳恭劭一案的判案書，其實《條例草案》參考了有關的內容。
If Members take a look at the judgment on the case of NG Kung - siu in 1999 they may find that the Bill has actually made reference to the judgment
終審法院在判案書指出，"國旗是一個國家的象徵......
In its judgment the Court of Final Appeal CFA stated that A national flag is the symbol of a nation representing the whole of a group
"旗幟、徽號......這類公平地代表整個群體的象徵，與一份傳達特定訊息的陳述之間，在內容和形式上，均存在固有及基本差異，即不是一般的表達自由。
a flag emblem impartially representing the whole of a group be it a small band or a large nation is inherently and essentially different both in substance and form from a statement conveying a specific message whether bland or controversial
"依本席之見，社會是有可能在保護其旗幟及徽號的同時，也能夠維護言論自由"。
I am of the view that it is possible for a society to protect its flags and emblems while at the same time maintaining its freedom of expression
終審法院最終判兩名被告罪名成立。
CFA eventually found the two defendants guilty
事實上，法院當時已充分考慮，並就言論自由和表達自由與所謂保障一個國家、民族的基本尊嚴作出平衡。
In fact at that time CFA had made thorough consideration and struck a balance between freedom of speech and of expression and the so - called protection of the fundamental dignity of a nation and race
在2015年希慎一案，香港終審法院更訂定相稱原則，即在普通法的普及原則上增加一項原則，以平衡香港社會的整體利益。
In the case of Hysan Development Co Ltd in 2015 CFA had even applied the principle of proportionality which is an additional principle on top of the common law principle of universality with the aim to balance the overall interests of Hong Kongs society
反對派堅決不肯完成這項憲制責任，結果弄到今日如斯田地。
The opposition camps stern refusal to fulfil this constitutional obligation has brought us to the present plight
由於反對派不願意全面了解《基本法》，每每選擇性地告訴支持他們的群眾，所以絕不會提及直接公布的可能性。
Since the opposition camp has been unwilling to fully understand the Basic Law they always choose to disclose selected information to their supporters and have never mentioned the alternative of direct promulgation
其實，這些都是我們應該珍惜的立法機會。
In fact these are all precious legislative opportunities
在香港風平浪靜時，我們可能忽略《基本法》附件三，但它卻確實存在於《基本法》之內，成為法律的一部分。
If everything goes smoothly in Hong Kong we may have neglected Annex III to the Basic Law but it does exist within the Basic Law and has become part of the law
現時國際形勢凶險，香港面對內憂外患，但反對派依然整天為一些小事而導致社會內傷，令國際虎視眈眈。
At present the international community is in a critical condition and Hong Kong is facing external and domestic challenges . Notwithstanding that the opposition camp has been causing harm to the community on trivial matters day after day thereby prompting the international community to look at us with ambition
他們不斷指為《基本法》第二十三條立法違反美國利益，竟然宣諸於口。
By reiterating that the legislation of Article 23 of the Basic Law would jeopardize the interests of the United States they have expressly raised their ulterior concern
澳門早已訂立國歌法例，並已在2009年為第二十三條立法，但卻不見得現已變成他們口中的"警察社會"，而是依然能夠好好地發揮"一國兩制"。
Macao has already enacted the national anthem law long ago and legislated for Article 23 in 2009 but there is no sign that it has become what they called the Polices society . Instead Macao has continued to bring into full play the principle of one country two systems
因此，香港終審法院在處理吳恭劭案時，已作出非常合理的平衡，並按照他們經常說的普通法原則作出判決。
Therefore when NG Kung - sius case was tried by CFA it has struck a very reasonable balance and a judgment was handed down in accordance with the common law principle which they have highlighted from time to time
今天，反對派不肯通過《條例草案》，口口聲聲說要保持香港的法治及文明，但其實卻是在害慘香港，害慘香港"一國兩制"，令香港萬劫不復。
Today the opposition camp refuses to pass the Bill vowing that they have to safeguard Hong Kongs rule of law and civilization . And yet the fact is they are actually causing harm to Hong Kong and ruining the principle of one country two systems thereby plunging Hong Kong into the dark abyss of destruction
我相信中央政府是因為這樣才出手，不能夠再讓他們縱容"港獨"、"自決"，甚至銷毀和隨意侮辱國旗及國歌。
I believe the Central Authorities has intervened for this reason as they can no longer allow the opposition camp to condone Hong Kong independence and self - determination or even destroy and arbitrarily insult the national flag and the national anthem
主席，我奉勸泛民議員盡快收手，讓社會回復理智，讓立法會回復為莊嚴及文明的議會。
President I advise pro - democracy Members to hold back as soon as possible so that the community can return to its senses and the Legislative Council can resume as a legislature with dignity and civility
代理主席，2010年一份報告指出，香港油站用地土地成本是東京的兩倍，以及接近倫敦的六倍。
Deputy President a report in 2010 pointed out that the land costs of petrol filling station PFS sites in Hong Kong were double of those in Tokyo and nearly six times of those in London
去年一幅油站用地以6.2億元地價批出，按批租期21年攤分的地價，每日高達8萬元或每月每平方呎316元。
Last year a PFS site was granted at a land premium of 620 million which when amortized over a 21 - year lease term amounted to as high as 80,000 per day or 316 per square foot per month
有評論指出，高土地成本是車用燃油零售價一直高企的主因，而本港經濟近月受疫情重創，降低油價可減輕商業車輛的經營成本及市民的出行成本。
There are comments that high land cost is the main cause for the persistently high retail prices of auto - fuels and with Hong Kongs economy having been hard hit by the epidemic in recent months reduction in pump prices can reduce the operating costs for commercial vehicles and the commuting costs of members of the public
代理主席，聽完政府的主體答覆後，我們相信今天的高地價、以至高油價問題，是由政府一手促成的。
Deputy President after listening to the main reply of the Government we believe that the Government is solely to blame for the problem of high land premium and the problem of high pump prices today
在公共交通方面，香港已有九成多市民使用公共交通工具出行。
As for public transport more than 90 % of the members of the public use public transport in Hong Kong
更甚的是，官員今時今日使用的車輛，汽油費用全部由公帑支付。
What is more the expenses on petrol for the vehicles currently used by officials are all met by public money
我想問，政府認為油價是多少才合理？
I would like to ask What level of pump price does the Government think is reasonable?
代理主席，香港的油價加快減慢、市場失衡兼失靈是世界聞名的。
Deputy President pump prices in Hong Kong are quick to go up but slow to come down . Also the market is imbalanced and not functioning properly . These are widely known in the world
局長剛才回答我們的質詢時，我個人覺得局長好像處於天空，根本看不到現在油價加快減慢，或者油公司有可能合謀定價的情況。
When the Secretary answered our questions just now he was like staying in the sky and could not see that pump prices were quick to go up but slow to come down or there might be price fixing among oil companies
代理主席，近期國際原油價格不斷大幅下跌，紐約5月期油更一度跌至負點數。
Deputy President recently international crude oil prices have been reducing significantly . In May New York Crude Oil Futures Price once dropped to negative
很可惜，我觀察到，儘管油價怎樣下跌，我們的車主或在職司機均無法受惠於油價下跌而享有較低油價之利。
It is a pity that from my observation no matter how significantly oil prices have dropped our vehicle owners and serving drivers still fail to benefit from the drop in oil prices and enjoy a lower pump price
香港燃油價格仍然高企，我認為油公司油價加快減慢，甚至可能有合謀定價的情況，政府真的要想想辦法處理。
The fuel price in Hong Kong is still high . In my view oil companies are quick in raising but slow in reducing pump prices and there may even be price fixing among oil companies . The Government must really think of ways to tackle the problem
我經常說，政府在這時候還不出手，只會令普羅市民對政府更失信心。
I often say that if the Government refuses to take any actions now the public will lose trust in the Government even more
局長完全逃避我的問題，沒有回答，只是轉移視線。
The Secretary has evaded my question completely . He has not answered me . He was just diverting attention
我問局長，究竟政府可否更有承擔地跟進油價的問題？
I asked the Secretary whether the Government could be more committed to following up the problem of pump prices and whether the Secretary was willing to study this problem
代理主席，我首先要跟局長說，我今天早上剛與舊同學討論，澳洲現時每公升油價是0.829澳元，折合約為4.3港元，陳恒鑌議員剛才告訴大家新加坡的油價是每公升約13元，這是第一點。
Deputy President the first thing I want to tell the Secretary is that from the discussion with my old classmates this morning I learnt that the current pump price in Australia is A0.829 per litre amounting to HK4.3 . Just now Mr CHAN Han - pan told us that the pump price in Singapore was around 13 per litre . This is the first point
第二，我相信政府必須考慮，究竟汽油是必需品還是消費品？
Second I believe the Government must consider whether petrol is a necessity or a consumer good
我相信對很多香港市民而言，它是必需品。
I think for many citizens in Hong Kong petrol is a necessity
第三，局長剛才引用我們上一次開會時所提到的消委會分析，但我記得胡紅玉主席曾說"市場失效"。
Third the Secretary has earlier quoted the analysis of the Consumer Council which we mentioned in the last meeting but I remember Chairperson Anna WU once said market failure
第四，局長在主體答覆中提到，假如以低於市值或零地價批出油站用地，放棄了原本應得的賣地收入，這變相是補貼車主。
Fourth the Secretary has mentioned in the main reply that if the Government grants PFS sites at a lower than market value premium or nil land premium foregoing the government revenue which should have been generated this is in fact subsidizing vehicle owners . I have repeatedly proposed to the Government that prices should be set according to a formula
我已多次向政府提出有關方程式定價的意見，我們並沒有要求政府不收地價，我們只希望政府請測量師訂定土地價值，讓所有落標者均採用同一個土地價值，不要強行將地價炒高，然後以價低者得，即零售價最便宜者中標，這樣才能夠為市場提供一個公平競爭的環境。
We have not requested the Government not to charge land premium but we only hope that the Government will engage surveyors to determine the land premium so that all the bidders can adopt the same land premium and the land premium will not be pushed up . Then the successful bidder will be the one with the lowest tender price or retail price . Only by doing so can a level playing field be provided for market players
當然我明白這是整個概念上的改變，我上次在會議上也說過，這不是環境局單方面可以處理的問題。
Of course I understand that this represents an entire change in the concept . As I said in the last meeting this is not a problem that the Environment Bureau can handle unilaterally
我希望透過今天這項質詢，政府高層可帶領各局合作處理這件事，因為香港的油價一直是全球最高，這情況直至今時今日都沒有改變。
I hope that through this question today senior government officials can lead various Bureaux to handle this issue . The pump price in Hong Kong has been the highest in the world and this situation has not changed so far
局長在主體答覆中表示，競委會曾經提出關於促進香港車用燃油市場競爭的建議，當中包括推出更多油站用地。
The Secretary has said in the main reply that the Commission has put forth recommendations to enhance competition in Hong Kongs auto - fuel market including putting up more PFS sites
代理主席，由環境局局長負責回答這項質詢，我們已經知道有甚麼問題，因為事實上，商務及經濟發展局或其他局應該更需要關注這問題。
Deputy President we should have known what the problem is when the Secretary for the Environment is designated to answer this question . In fact the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau or other Policy Bureaux should be more concerned about this issue
就這問題，我明白局長有環保和鼓勵市民使用公共交通工具的考慮。
For this issue I understand that the Secretary has to consider how to protect the environment and encourage the public to use public transport
但是，局長的答覆似乎有點思覺失調。
However the reply of the Secretary seems to be somehow contradictory
尚有兩位議員正在輪候提問，請他們在其他場合跟進。
Two Members are still waiting for their turn to ask questions . I would like to ask them to follow up the matter on other occasions
我想清楚了解你的意向。
I want to understand your intention clearly
我會動議中止會議，但我希望你認真思考，其實你可以用暫停會議的形式協助當前情況，讓我們的同事能夠前往現場解決問題，協助了解當前發生的事情。
I will move an adjournment motion . Yet I hope that you will give serious consideration to suspend the meeting so that our colleagues can go to the scene to help in resolving the problem and understanding the current situation
所以，我希望你考慮以休會形式，讓大家可以靜下來處理當前的混亂。
Therefore I hope that you will consider adjourning the meeting so as to allow us to calm down and handle the current chaotic situation
我想澄清一下，你剛才說，有議員根據《議事規則》要求動議中止待續議案，我想請問哪位議員曾經提出這項要求？
I wish to clarify one point . Just now you said that some Members requested to move an adjournment motion under the Rules of Procedure RoP . May I ask which Members have made such a request?
我現在不會與議員辯論，請你停止發言。
I am not going to debate with Members . Please stop speaking
譚文豪議員，請你停止發言，我已回應你的提問。
Mr Jeremy TAM please stop speaking . I have responded to your query
鄭松泰議員，請發言。
Dr CHENG Chung - tai please speak
我按照《議事規則》第162條要求動議休會待續，以討論2020年5月27日至28日，警方在金鐘一帶的部署及對金鐘一帶交通及市民生活的影響。
In accordance with Rule 162 of the Rules of Procedure I propose moving a motion for the adjournment of this Council to debate the deployment of the Police in the area of Admiralty on 27 and 28 May 2020 and its impact on local traffic and peoples livelihood
鑒於今、明兩天警方在金鐘部署3,000多名警察，亦設置關卡，已對大量市民和駕駛者構成不便，警方已經發射防暴槍和胡椒球彈，數十名市民被捕，被捕人數不斷增加，本人希望立即討論警方在這兩天的部署，讓本會提供意見，讓警方可以改善部署，如果不能夠在今天討論，或會令大量市民受警方部署影響，引致更多警民衝突，構成不可逆轉的後果。
Given that the Police have deployed some 3 000 officers and set up barriers in Admiralty for today and tomorrow causing inconvenience to the public and drivers; that the Police have fired anti - riot launchers and pepper balls and arrested dozens of people and that the number of arrests is on the increase I hope that a discussion can be held immediately on the deployment of the Police in these two days so that the Council can make suggestions on how to improve the deployment of the Police . If a discussion cannot take place today a large number of members of the public may be affected by the deployment of the Police resulting in more conflicts between the Police and the public with irreversible consequences
陳志全議員，我認為你提出的事項，亦不符合《議事規則》第162條的規定，因此我不批准你的議案。
Mr CHAN Chi - chuen I think the issue you raised is also not in compliance with the requirements set out in Rule 162 of the Rules of Procedure . Hence your motion is rejected
我作為立法會主席，根據《基本法》第七十二條第一項主持會議時，有責任確保立法會會議有秩序、有效率及公平地進行，讓立法會可以在合理時間內，完成處理議程上的事項。
As the President of the Legislative Council when I preside over meetings under Article 721 of the Basic Law I am duty - bound to ensure that Council meetings are conducted in an orderly efficient and fair manner so that all the items on the Agenda can be completed within a reasonable period of time
一如議員所知，我預留了約30小時，讓本會於今次及下次會議處理《國歌條例草案》。
As Members are aware I have reserved about 30 hours for the Council to deal with the National Anthem Bill at this meeting and the next
我跟很多香港人一樣，反對《國歌條例草案》，但我有兩點必須先清楚說明。
Like many Hong Kong people I oppose the National Anthem Bill the Bill but there are two points that I must state clearly right at start
第一，根據《基本法》第十八條，凡列於《基本法》附件三的全國性法律，由特區政府公布或立法實施。
Firstly according to Article 18 of the Basic Law all national laws listed in Annex III to the Basic Law shall be implemented by way of promulgation or legislation by the SAR Government
其實，這也是特區政府的決定，但不要以為大獲全勝。
As a matter of fact this is also the decision of the SAR Government . And yet no one should consider this a landslide victory
