港澳辦副主任鄧中華表示，中央在港區國安法有司法管轄權，這明顯違反《基本法》及《中英聯合聲明》第三條第三款：香港特別行政區享有獨立的司法權及終審權。
DENG Zhonghua Deputy Director of HKMAO said that the Central Peoples Government has jurisdiction over the national security law . This obviously contravenes the Basic Law and paragraph 33 of the Joint Declaration which states that the Hong Kong SAR will be vested with independent judicial power including that of final adjudication
我想問局長，如果港區國安法明顯違反《基本法》及《中英聯合聲明》，香港政府會如何向全世界包括聯合國交代？
May I ask the Secretary how the Hong Kong Government will account to the whole world including the United Nations should the national security law obviously contravene the Basic Law and the Joint Declaration?
我想指出，最終的條文會符合《憲法》及《基本法》相關的規定。
Let me say that the final provisions will comply with the relevant requirements of the Constitution and the Basic Law
我亦想一再強調，這項工作會依法進行。
I would also like to stress once again that this piece of work will be conducted in accordance with the law
就此，我也想指出一點。
I would like to make one point in this regard
《基本法》第十九條訂明特區享有獨立的司法權及終審權。
Article 19 of the Basic Law stipulates that the SAR shall be vested with independent judicial power including that of final adjudication
他沒有回答關於《中英聯合聲明》的部分。
He has not answered the part on the Joint Declaration
《中英聯合聲明》是在香港回歸前，中英雙方就回歸的情況作出的聲明，當中有些是英方提出，有些是中方提出，有些是雙方共同提出。
The Joint Declaration is a declaration made by China and the United Kingdom before the reunification . Some of its provisions were proposed by the United Kingdom some by China and some by both parties
主席，我手上有一份1999年2月10日立法會會議一項質詢的書面答覆，是時任政制事務局局長對張文光議員就全國性法律應否列入《基本法》附件三的質詢所作回覆，："如有任何擬列入《基本法》附件三的全國性法律對香港有實質影響，我們會把有關事宜提交立法會有關事務委員會討論，並會諮詢法律界或其他有關人士。
President I have with me a copy of the written reply to a question asked at the meeting of the Legislative Council held on 10 February 1999 . It was the reply of the then Secretary for Constitutional Affairs to Mr CHEUNG Man - kwongs question on whether national laws should be listed in Annex III to the Basic Law and I quote If any national law proposed to be added to Annex III to the Basic Law has any practical effect in the SAR we will refer the issue to the relevant Legislative Council Panel for discussion and we will consult the legal profession and other persons concerned
"我請問局長，上述答覆到今天是否仍然有效？
unquote May I ask the Secretary whether the above mentioned reply is still valid today?
局長會否就相關問題諮詢本會相關的事務委員會？
Will the Secretary consult the relevant panel of this Council on this issue?
當年，孫明揚代表特區政府回答，如有擬列入附件三的法律，會諮詢本會。
Back then Michael SUEN gave the reply on behalf of the SAR Government that if any law was proposed to be listed in Annex III the Government would consult this Council
主席，由市區重建局發展的首個港人首次置業先導項目―煥然懿居，已於上月開始入伙。
President intake of residents for the eResidence the first Starter Homes SH for Hong Kong Residents pilot project developed by the Urban Renewal Authority commenced last month
有該屋苑的單位業主投訴，他們須支付高昂的管理費，相當於每平方呎4元3角，並較某些私人屋苑還要高；高昂的管理費加上樓宇按揭還款，令他們百上加斤。
Some unit owners of that housing court have complained that they have to pay exorbitant management fees which amount to 4.3 per square foot and are even higher than those of certain private housing courts . The exorbitant management fees coupled with property mortgage repayments have aggravated their financial burden
就此，政府可否告知本會：一既然首置單位售價的定位，是介乎居者有其屋計劃屋苑和私人屋苑的單位售價之間，有否評估首置屋苑的管理費應否定於居屋屋苑與私人屋苑的管理費之間的水平；若有評估，結果為何；二政府有否參與訂定煥然懿居管理費水平的工作；及三會否設立機制，監管首置屋苑的管理費水平？
In this connection will the Government inform this Council 1 given that the prices of SH flats are positioned at a level between those of Home Ownership Scheme HOS courts and private housing courts whether it has assessed if the management fees of SH housing courts should be pitched at a level between those of HOS courts and private housing courts; if it has conducted such an assessment of the outcome; 2 whether the Government participated in determining the management fee level of the eResidence; and 3 whether it will set up a mechanism to monitor the management fee levels of SH housing courts?
作為資助出售房屋的一個類別，首置的目標是在樓價高企的情況下，協助既不符合申請居屋資格、又未能負擔私營房屋的較高收入家庭，回應他們的置業期望。
As a type of subsidized sale flats SSFs SH aims to help the higher - income families who are not eligible for HOS and yet cannot afford private housing to meet their home ownership aspirations in the face of high property prices
政府在2018年6月邀請市區重建局將其位於馬頭圍道的重建項目改為首置先導項目煥然懿居。
In June 2018 the Government invited the Urban Renewal Authority URA to assign its redevelopment project at Ma Tau Wai Road as an SH pilot project eResidence
市建局其後在2018年12月公布預售煥然懿居的450個首置單位。
Subsequently URA announced the pre - sale of 450 SH units at eResidence in December 2018
所有首置單位已於2019年6月售出。
All SH units were sold in June 2019
隨着項目落成，市建局在今年5月初展開簽署單位轉讓契約的手續和交付程序。
Following the completion of the project URA commenced execution of assignment and handover procedures in early May this year
就柯創盛議員質詢的各部分，我現答覆如下。一 現時的房屋階梯主要有3類不同層級的資助出售房屋，分別是綠表置居計劃、居屋和首置。
My reply to various parts of the question raised by Mr Wilson OR is as follows 1 Currently there are three major types of SSFs under different rungs along the housing ladder namely Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme GSH HOS and SH
這3類資助出售房屋在房屋階梯上的定位和相對性，反映於單位的售價折讓。
The positioning and relativity of these three types of SSFs along the housing ladder are reflected in the discount of the selling prices of the units
因此，綠置居單位的折扣率會較居屋出售計劃的折 扣率高，而首置單位的折扣率則較居屋出售計劃的折扣率低。
Therefore the discount rate of GSH units would be higher than that for HOS sale exercise while the discount rate of SH units would be lower than that for HOS sale exercise
就煥然懿居項目而言，首置單位以評估市值六二折出售，即折扣率為38%，較前一期居屋出售計劃的48%折扣率低10%。
As for the eResidence project SH units were sold at 62 % of the assessed market values ie . a discount rate of 38 % which was 10 % less than the 48 % discount for the previous HOS sale exercise ie . in 2018
在物業管理角度而言，資助出售房屋項目與一般私人住宅項目沒有分別。
From the perspective of property management there is no difference between SSF projects and private residential projects in general
考慮到不同房屋項目的具體情況可以有很大差距，政府認為不宜就管理費水平訂定一個硬性指標。
Considering that the specific circumstances of different housing projects may be widely different the Government does not consider it appropriate to lay down a set of rigid indicators with regard to the management fee level
二 在邀請市建局將其位於馬頭圍道的重建項目改為首置先導項目時，政府在相關契約修訂文件中就首置單位已訂定一些規定，包括單位只可出售予符合政府指定資格準則的人士、定價須經由政府批准，以及單位設有轉讓限制等，當中不包括釐定管理費水平的事宜。
2 In inviting URA to assign its redevelopment project at Ma Tau Wai Road as SH pilot project the Government has specified certain requirements concerning SH units under the relevant lease modification document including that the units can only be sold to persons meeting the eligibility criteria specified by the Government the pricing should be subject to the approval by the Government and there should be alienation restrictions for the units etc while matters concerning the determination of management fee level are not included
政府亦沒有參與釐定煥然懿居的管理費水平。
The Government was also not involved in the determination of the management fee level of eResidence
根據市建局提供的資料，市建局在釐定煥然懿居的管理費水平時，已參考市場上發展規模及設施相若的住宅項目的管理費水平，而煥然懿居的管理費水平與現時市場水平相若。
According to information provided by URA in determining the management fee level of eResidence URA has made reference to the management fees of residential projects in the market with comparable development scale and facilities and the management fee level of eResidence is compatible with the current market level
據政府了解，視乎個別屋苑規模及相關設施，近年落成的私人住宅項目的管理費水平一般約為每平方呎4元至5元。
According to the understanding of the Government depending on the scale and relevant facilities of individual housing estates the management fee level of private residential projects completed in recent years is around 4 to 5 per square foot in general
三 正如以上所述，管理費水平受多個因素影響，政府難以就首置項目制訂具參考價值的管理費水平及相關指標。
3 As mentioned above the management fee level is affected by a number of factors . It would be difficult for the Government to specify the management fee level and relevant indicators for SH projects which are of reference value
再者，假如政府就首置項目的管理費水平設立限制，發展商為了配合相關要求，或難以避免要在屋苑的設施及配套等方面作取捨。
Moreover if the Government sets restrictions on the management fee level for SH projects in order to comply with relevant requirements developers may unavoidably need to make trade - offs on areas such as facilities and ancillary infrastructures of the housing estates
這可能會減低發展商在首置項目設計上的靈活性，亦與政府希望充分利用發展商在設計和興建樓宇的經驗及專業知識提供首置單位的原意並不相符。
This may reduce the flexibility of developers in the design of SH projects and is not in line with the original intent of the Government to fully utilize the experience and expertise of developers in designing and constructing buildings to provide SH units
很多青年人想我藉此機會告訴局長，副局長在立法會房屋事務委員會上次會議上表示，由於居屋封頂，折扣率要訂於市價七折，日後首置樓盤的價格會訂於市價八折。
Many young people want me to take this opportunity to tell the Secretary that according to the remark of the Under Secretary at the last meeting of the Panel on Housing of the Legislative Council due to the price cap of HOS units the discount rate should be set at 30 % off the market values and the price of SH units in the future will be set at 20 % off the market values
這個單位的六二折價格是640萬元，但如以八折計算，樓價便會超過800萬元。
The price of this unit after a 38 % discount is 6.4 million but it would exceed 8 million should the discount be 20 %
屆時如果樓價過高，便不可能提供同一個合理折扣水平，令所有人安居樂業。
If the property prices are too high at that time it will not be possible to provide the same reasonable discount to allow members of the public to live in peace and contentment
香港廣大市民確實對置業有強烈訴求，政府也表明會在不影響公營房屋供應的前提下，提供首置單位。
The general public in Hong Kong do have a strong demand for home ownership and the Government has also indicated that it will provide SH units as long as they do not affect the supply of public housing
我相信市建局在完成研究及取得董事局同意後，會適時公布有關資料。
I believe that URA will release relevant information in due course after completing the study and obtaining the consent of its Board
柯議員剛才亦提到居屋售價的問題，我們可能說得不清楚或大家可能有誤會。
Mr OR has also mentioned the prices of HOS units just now . We may not have made it clear enough or Members may have misunderstood
居屋定價是以市民的負擔能力為基礎，即按非業主住戶的入息中位數作出評估。
HOS pricing is based on the affordability of the public ie . assessed on the basis of the median income of non - owner households
我們明白這類項目對他們大有裨益，我們亦會在這方面繼續努力。
We understand that such projects are highly beneficial to them and we will continue our efforts in this regard
安達臣道的賣地安排必須提供確定性，讓參與投標的發展商有所依據。
The Anderson Road land sales arrangement must be certain for the developers participating in the tender to base upon
一般來說，管理費包含3個元素，第一，管理公司的經理人費用；第二，負責整個屋苑保安工作的管理員數目；及第三，其他事項，例如垃圾處理、屋苑清潔、園藝及會所等。大部分費用都是"羊毛出在羊身上"，需要實報實銷。
Generally speaking management fees have three elements first the manager fees of management companies; second the number of caretakers responsible for the security of the entire housing estate; and third other matters such as garbage disposal cleaning of the housing estate gardening and clubs etc . Most of the expenses come from the residents and they should be on an actual reimbursement basis
多謝何議員的補充質詢和建議。
I thank Dr HO for his supplementary question and suggestions
市建局的首置項目，在管理費方面依循一個原則，就是管理預算和管理費水平以收回成本為原則，沒有盈利的考慮。
The management fees for SH projects of URA follow a principle the management fee estimates and levels should set at cost recovery without profit consideration
很多私人房屋的管理費也不如資助房屋般高昂，但他們的儲備很多。
The management fees for many private housing estates which have a lot of reserves are not as high as those for SSFs
主席，多謝蔣議員的補充質詢及建議。
President I thank Dr CHIANG for her supplementary question and suggestions
當然，作為房委會主席，我亦會敦促同事在屋宇管理方面作出相關考慮。
Of course as Chairman of HA I will urge colleagues to make relevant considerations in building management
不論是公營或私營樓宇，每月管理費除了支付維修費用外，還要應付一些經常性支出。
For public or private buildings in addition to covering the maintenance expenses the monthly management fees are spent on some recurring expenses
政府已把海外抵港人士必須接受強制檢疫14天的規例的有效期延至本年9月18日，並跨越2020年立法會換屆選舉的選舉日。
Regarding the Regulation under which persons arriving at Hong Kong from overseas shall be subject to 14 - day compulsory quarantine the Government has extended its expiry date to 18 September this year straddling the polling date set for the 2020 Legislative Council General Election
政府表示會考慮容許正接受強制檢疫的選民暫時外出投票。
The Government has indicated that it will consider allowing electors under compulsory quarantine to go out temporarily to cast their votes
然而，有身處外地並打算專程回港投票的港人表示，該安排仍不妥善，原因是他們基於個人情況需於投票後不久便離港，無法留港完成檢疫程序。
However some Hong Kong people who are currently outside Hong Kong and intend to make a special trip to return to Hong Kong to cast their votes have indicated that the said arrangement is still unsound as they have to owing to personal circumstances leave Hong Kong shortly after casting their votes and will be unable to stay in Hong Kong to complete the quarantine procedure
立法會換屆選舉的提名期訂於今年7月18日至7月31日。
The nomination period of the Legislative Council General Election is set from 18 July to 31 July this year
我們留意到本港2019冠狀病毒病的疫情及確診個案數字雖然在過去1個多月稍為穩定，但仍然時有反覆，近日再度錄得本地感染群組個案。
We note that although the situation of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 COVID - 19 outbreak in Hong Kong and the number of confirmed cases have slightly stabilized in the past month or so the situation still remains volatile with local cluster cases reported again recently
同時，全球疫情依然十分嚴峻。
At the same time the global situation remains severe
截至6月16日，218個國 家/屬地/地方共錄得約786萬宗2019冠狀病毒病個案。
As at 16 June 218 countriesterritoriesareas reported a total of around 7.86 million COVID - 19 cases
自3月底以來，全球每日約有7萬至13萬宗新增個案。
Since late March about 70 000 to 130 000 new cases have been reported daily around the world
至於內地方面，疫情雖然已經顯著改善，不過在過去數星期，個別省市仍錄得一定數量的輸入個案及本地個案。
As regards the Mainland despite significant improvements in the situation individual provincescities still reported certain number of imported and local cases in the past few weeks
上述情況反映不論在本地或本港以外的地區，疫情仍未過去。
The above situation reflects that the epidemic is yet to be over whether in Hong Kong or places outside Hong Kong
考慮到2019冠狀病毒病疫情預計在短期內不會消退，我們會與食物及衞生局及衞生防護中心緊密聯絡，密切注視疫情的發展，從現在至選舉舉行期間不斷評估疫情對立法會選舉所造成的影響，並及早因應疫情發展的不同可能性，制訂各種預案。
Considering that COVID - 19 epidemic is not expected to fade away in the near future we will closely keep in touch with the Food and Health Bureau and the Centre for Health Protection to carefully monitor the development of the outbreak in assessing the impact of the epidemic on the Legislative Council General Election from now until the polling date and formulate various plans in view of the different possibilities concerning the development of the epidemic in a timely manner
選舉事務處一向沒有在醫院內設立投票站，但會研究能否為正接受指定強制檢疫的選民制訂特別安排，以容許他們短暫外出並安全地投票。
The Registration and Electoral Office all along does not set up polling stations in hospitals but will explore whether special arrangements could be made for electors under compulsory quarantine to go out temporarily to cast their votes in a safely manner
市民的投票權受到《基本法》保障，在制訂與防疫相關的選舉措施時，特區政府會致力平衡保障公共衞生、社會接受程度、便利選民等因素。
The voting rights of citizens are protected by the Basic Law . When formulating measures that are related to the prevention of COVID - 19 in the election the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR Government will endeavour to strike a balance among factors like public health protection social acceptance electors facilitation etc
早前特區政府已刊憲修訂《若干到港人士強制檢疫規例》及《外國地區到港人士強制檢疫規例》，把其有效期延長。
The HKSAR Government has earlier published in the gazette to amend the Compulsory Quarantine of Certain Persons Arriving at Hong Kong Regulation Cap . 599C and the Compulsory Quarantine of Persons Arriving at Hong Kong from Foreign Places Regulation Cap
我們會密切注視香港與其他地方之間的人口流動及實施強制檢疫措施，以及內地和外地的疫情發展情況，以決定採取何種方案以便利選民投票，並會適時敲定細節及向市民公布。
599E by extending their validity . We shall closely monitor movement of people between Hong Kong and other places and implement compulsory quarantine measures as well as development of the epidemic situation in the Mainland and overseas in order to decide the plan to be adopted to facilitate electors to vote . We will finalize the details and announce them to the public in due course
總選舉事務主任亦必須分配予地方選區選民一個在切實可行範圍內接近該選民的登記住址的地方選區投票站，以供他投下他在有關地方選區的一票。
The Chief Electoral Officer must also allocate to a geographical constituency GC elector a GC polling station that is as far as practicable close to his or her registered residential address to cast the vote for GC
為此，選舉事務處須為每個投票站預先編製選民登記冊摘錄，供投票站的工作人員在發出選票前核對有關選民的投票資格。
To this end the Registration and Electoral Office must prepare an extract of the Register of Electors for each polling station for staff at the polling station to verify the electors eligibility to vote before issuance of ballot papers
選舉事務處考慮到要掌握在投票日回港或經香港轉機的選民的資料及人數有其困難。因此認為難以在投票日前預先準備有關選民登記冊摘錄。
Taking into account that there are difficulties in ascertaining the information and number of electors who will return to Hong Kong or transit via Hong Kong on the polling day the Registration and Electoral Office considers that it will be difficult to prepare the said extract of Register of Electors prior to the polling day
選舉事務處在現階段認為於香港國際機場禁區內設立投票站的建議未必可行，但會繼續研究能否克服相關技術困難，或採取其他切實可行的方案，以便利從外地回港的市民投票。
At this stage the Registration and Electoral Office considers that the proposal to establish a polling station in the Restricted Area of Hong Kong International Airport may not be feasible but it will continue to explore if the relevant technical difficulties can be overcome or adopt other practicable ways to enable voters returning from abroad to vote . Besides in order to ensure electors safety and prevent the spread of COVID - 19 in the polling stations and counting stations we plan to implement the following proposed safety measures 1
主席，局長提出選舉必須公平地進行，但局長應該留意到，《若干到港人士強制檢疫規例》的失效日期為7月7日，但《外國地區到港人士強制檢疫規例》的失效日期為9月18日，立法會選舉則在9月6日進行。
President the Secretary has said that the election has to be conducted in a fair manner . However the Secretary should note that the expiry date of the Compulsory Quarantine of Certain Persons Arriving at Hong Kong Regulation is 7 July while the expiry date of the Compulsory Quarantine of Persons Arriving at Hong Kong from Foreign Places Regulation is 18 September and the Legislative Council General Election will take place on 6 September
換言之，居住在內地的香港市民在9月6日可以自由過關來香港直接到票站投票，但從外國地區回來的香港人，則因為規例所限無法立即到票站投票。
In other words while Hong Kong citizens living in the Mainland can freely cross the boundary to Hong Kong and go directly to polling stations to cast their votes on 6 September the Hong Kong people returning from overseas places cannot go to polling stations immediately to vote subject to the regulation
總體的原則是，我們會在盡可能便利選民行使選舉權的同時，亦會兼顧公共衞生安全。
The general principle is that we will facilitate electors in exercising their voting rights as far as possible while at the same time safeguard public health
你應先讓公眾人士聆聽局長的答覆，請坐下。
You should let members of the public listen to the reply of the Secretary . Please sit down
第四項質詢。
Question 4
由於議題未獲得兩部分在席委員分別以過半數贊成，他於是宣布修正案被否決。
Since the question was not agreed by a majority of each of the two groups of Members present he therefore declared that the amendment was negatived
陳志全議員，請你動議編號3的修正案。
Mr CHAN Chi - chuen you may move Amendment No . 3
由於議題獲得在席委員以過半數贊成，他於是宣布議案獲得通過。
Since the question was agreed by a majority of the Members present he therefore declared that the motion was passed
儘管如此，部分議員仍然批評我預留的審議時間太少。
Nevertheless some Members still criticized me for allowing too little time for scrutiny
與此同時，他們卻又多次作出極不檢點的行為，阻撓本會審議《條例草案》。
Meanwhile they have repeatedly acted in a grossly disorderly manner to obstruct the scrutiny of the Bill by this Council
上星期已有議員在會議廳潑灑難聞的物體，令會議被迫暫停超過5小時。
Last week the meeting had to be suspended for more than five hours as a Member threw a foul - smelling object in the Chamber
今天早上又有議員這樣做，分別是朱凱廸議員和陳志全議員，亦有其他議員參與，令會議再次被迫暫停。
This morning some Members namely Mr CHU Hoi - dick and Mr CHAN Chi - chuen have done the same with the participation of some other Members . As a result the meeting has to be suspended again
剛才許智峯議員亦作出這些幼稚、不負責任並涉嫌違法的滋擾行為，令我感到十分失望及痛心，亦非常遺憾。
I am deeply disappointed distressed and regret that Mr HUI Chi - fung has committed such a childish irresponsible and suspected illegal act of harassment just now
這不但妨礙立法會履行審議法案的憲制職能，亦損害立法會的聲譽，有負公眾對議員的期望。
His act has obstructed the Council in performing its constitutional function of scrutinizing the Bill damaged the reputation of the Council and fell short of public expectation of Members
事實上，有關議員不斷蓄意阻撓會議進行，正正顯示他們並非認真審議《條例草案》。
In fact constant and deliberate obstructions of the meeting by those Members precisely show that they do not scrutinize the Bill in a serious manner
我上星期已事先聲明，若議員選擇繼續以這種方式阻礙本會審議《條例草案》的進度，我或須重新考慮有關的審議安排。
As I have stated in advance last week I may have to reconsider the scrutiny arrangement if Members choose to continue obstructing the scrutiny progress of the Bill by this Council in this manner
就《條例草案》的三讀辯論，我原本預留了6小時，而議員發言的部分會於今天下午5時左右結束。
I have originally earmarked six hours for the Third Reading debate of the Bill . The session for Members speeches will end at around 5 pm today
為確保會議安全有序進行，我會暫停會議，讓工作人員先行清理。
To ensure the safety and order of the meeting I will suspend the meeting so that the staff can clean up first
《國歌條例草案》並不是一項複雜的法案，但我仍然預留了多達30小時，讓議員有充分時間審議《條例草案》......
The National Anthem Bill is not a complicated bill . Yet I have still earmarked 30 hours to allow Members sufficient time to scrutinize the Bill
在侮辱國旗和國徽的罪行中，"侮辱"的定義......
In the offence of desecrating the national flag or national emblem the definition of desecrating
但是，何謂"玷污"呢？
However what is meant by defiling?
主席，你理解這原理嗎？
Chairman do you understand this reasoning?
"使學生學習歌唱國歌"，英文本身是"enable"，但中文則是"使"，使學生學習歌唱國歌。
What is meant by 使? . In the English text it is enable whereas in Chinese it is 使 in 使學生學習歌唱國歌
萬一學生不懂得唱國歌，會有甚麼懲罰或後果呢？
In case any student does not know how to sing the national anthem what will be the punishment or consequences?
在我們審議期間，並無清晰的答案。
No clear answer was given during our scrutiny
即是說，教育局局長是否有可能通過行政處罰或威嚇，令學校蒙受白色恐怖？
That is to say is it possible that the Secretary for Education will put schools under white terror through administrative penalties or intimidation?
主席，我動議若稍後就《國歌條例草案》的修正案或條文進行點名表決，表決須在鐘聲響起1分鐘後進行。
Chairman I move that in the event of further divisions being claimed in respect of any amendments to or any provisions of the National Anthem Bill this committee of the whole Council do proceed to each of such divisions immediately after the division bell has been rung for one minute
就各位議員同事對我的修正案的發言，我想作一些回應。
I wish to give some responses to Honourable Members speeches on my amendments
首先，昨天張華峰議員提到我說過一句話："少年智則國智，少年強則國強"，他藉此指出青少年的成就即使有多高，如果不尊重國家，亦不配得到別人的尊重。
First of all yesterday Mr Christopher CHEUNG quoted a statement I made If the young are intelligent the country will be intelligent; if the young are strong the country will be strong . He did so to point out that if young people regardless of however great achievements they have made do not respect the country they do not deserve others respect
梁啟超先生是清末一名改革者，他與老師康有為主張君主立憲。
Mr LIANG Qichao was a reformist in the late Qing Dynasty . He and his mentor KANG Youwei advocated constitutional monarchy
當然，他不是一名革命家。
Of course he was not a revolutionary
我把時間fast forward至現今2020年，如果梁啟超先生仍然在生的話，而他對現今政權亦作出一篇《公車上書》時，結果會如何呢？
Now let me fast - forward the time to the present 2020 if Mr LIANG Qichao were still alive and penned a Gongche Petition for the present regime what would the outcome be?
我真的不敢想象。
I really dare not imagine
為何我們在100多年後，竟然可以到了如此地步？
Why after more than 100 years have we come to such a pass?
梁啟超先生最終的遭遇可能就像劉曉波先生一樣。
Mr LIANG Qichao might end up suffering the same fate as Mr LIU Xiaobo
不過，張華峰議員提到青少年的價值觀等問題，不期然令我要討論《國歌條例草案》第9條我原本提出修正案以刪除第9條。
However as Mr Christopher CHEUNG mentioned issues such as young peoples values I cannot help but want to discuss clause 9 of the National Anthem Bill the Bill―I originally proposed an amendment to delete clause 9
政府表示，第9條是立法原意中一個重要部分，亦屬於全國性法律，故此不能夠接納我刪除第9條的修正案。
The Government advised that as clause 9 is an essential part of the legislative intent and also part of the national law it could not accept my amendment to delete clause 9
其實，我刪除第9條的原因是，技術上，《條例草案》是在普通法制度下的法例。
As a matter of fact my reason for deleting clause 9 is that technically the Bill will become a piece of legislation under the common law system
一個政府想推廣一些政策的話，這項條文不能夠亦不適宜加入《條例草案》內。
If a government wants to promote certain policies such a clause cannot be added to the Bill and it is also inappropriate to do so
