自今年6月爆發反修例風波以來，訪港旅客人數急降，旅遊業受重創。
Since the eruption of the disturbances arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments in June this year the number of visitor arrivals to Hong Kong has plummeted and the tourism industry has been hard hit by that
主席，旅遊業是香港經濟重要的一環，2018年僱用約26萬人，佔本地生產總值4.5%。
President tourism is a key sector of the Hong Kong economy . In 2018 tourism employed around 260 000 persons and accounted for 4.5 % of Gross Domestic Product
近日持續的社會事件，旅遊業首當其衝，是最受打擊的行業之一。
The industry is one of the sectors that is hard hit by the continuous social events recently
訪港旅客人數由7月起開始顯著下跌。
Visitor arrivals declined significantly since July
其間，約40個國家就訪港旅遊發出旅遊提示，影響了香港的國際形象，旅遊及相關行業均受到嚴重打擊。
Meanwhile around 40 countries have issued travel advisories on visiting Hong Kong which has affected Hong Kongs international image and severely hit the tourism and related industries
政府一直密切留意事態發展，並與香港旅遊發展局、香港旅遊業議會及業界等保持密切聯繫，因應社會事件對旅遊業造成的影響推出多輪措施，紓緩業界的經營壓力。
The Government has been closely monitoring the development of the situation and maintaining close communication with Hong Kong Tourism Board HKTB Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong TIC and the tourism industry etc . In view of the impact of social events on the tourism industry the Government has rolled out several rounds of support measures to alleviate the operating pressure of the industry
政府並會繼續支持旅發局在海外及內地市場的推廣工作，令旅客重拾來港旅遊的信心。
Also the Government will continue to support HKTBs promotion work in overseas and the Mainland markets to restore visitors confidence in visiting Hong Kong
就姚思榮議員所提的質詢，現答覆如下： 一及二 按旅發局原本的工作計劃，2019-2020年度的總推廣預算約為4億3,300萬元，當中約1億6,900萬元會用於客源市場的推廣。
My reply to the question raised by Mr YIU Si - wing is as follows 1 and 2 According to HKTBs original work plan the total marketing budget in 2019 - 2020 was estimated at about 433 million of which about 169 million was planned for use in visitor source markets
整體客源市場推廣資源中，77%會投放至非內地市場，投放到內地市場的推廣資源佔23%。
Of this 77 % was to be allocated to non - Mainland markets and 23 % to the Mainland market
另外，2019-2020年度財政預算案向旅發局提供額外撥款約3億2,600萬元，加強宣傳香港。
In addition the Government allocated additional funding of around 326 million in the 2019 - 2020 Budget to HKTB to strengthen the promotion of Hong Kong
近月的示威衝突令香港的旅遊形象嚴重受損，訪港旅客人數下跌，旅發局因應情況，已暫緩下半年內地及海外的大型推廣工作，並經慎重考慮下取消了包括香港龍舟嘉年華、香港單車節及香港美酒佳餚巡禮等大型活動。
The protests in recent months have seriously damaged Hong Kongs tourism image resulting in a decline in visitor arrivals . In response to this situation HKTB suspended its large - scale promotion work in the Mainland and overseas markets in the second half of the year and cancelled after careful consideration large - scale events including the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Carnival the Hong Kong Cyclothon and the Hong Kong Wine Dine Festival
按最新預算，本財政年度旅發局整體開支將因而較原先預算減少了約2億元。
According to the HKTBs latest estimate the total expenditure of this financial year will be about 200 million less than the original estimate
旅發局現正積極籌備短期至長期的推廣計劃，將適時陸續推出，並會善用資源，重新調撥節省了的開支。
HKTB has been actively preparing for both short and long - term promotion plans which will be rolled out gradually at opportune time and will make the best use of its resources to re - allocate the unused funding
其中，針對性項目包括： ― 陸續在國際短途客源市場展開推廣計劃。
Amongst these the tactical initiatives include - Rolling out promotion plans gradually in international short haul source markets including HKTBs plan to launch a common platform for businesses from all sectors in the city to promote enticing offers to visitors and locals
旅發局計劃設立平台結集全城優惠，旅客及港人均可享用，希望藉計劃推動消費，亦由香港人出發，帶動海外親友及其他熱愛香港的旅客訪港，令本地的旅行社、酒店、景點、餐飲業、零售業等都可以從中受惠。
Leveraging the influence of local residents the programme aims to attract overseas relatives and friends as well as fans of Hong Kong to stimulate spending and generate business for travel agents hotels attractions catering retail etc
― 加強推廣多項大型活動或增強節目內容，包括為農曆年舉辦的新春國際匯演注入更多新元素，以及在海外加強宣傳明年4月舉行的香港國際七人欖球賽等。
- Strengthening the promotion or enhancing contents of various mega events such as injecting new elements into the International Chinese New Year Carnival to be held during Chinese Lunar New Year and stepping up overseas promotion of the Hong Kong Sevens scheduled for April 2020
― 為支援業界，旅發局已推出了一系列支援及鼓勵措施，包括： i 由10月1日起至明年3月31日，豁免業界參與旅發局在內地及海外舉辦的展銷會及業務洽談會的費用；及 由10月1日至明年9月30日，免收"優質旅遊服務"計劃下所有逾8,000間商鋪1年的續證費用，而新申請加入計劃的商鋪，申請費用亦會減半。
- To support the travel trade HKTB has rolled out a series of relief and incentive measures including i From 1 October 2019 to 31 March 2020 HKTB has waived the participation fee for members of the travel trade to join trade fairs and travel missions organized by HKTB in the Mainland and overseas; and ii From 1 October 2019 to 30 September 2020 all merchants accredited under HKTBs Quality Tourism Services Scheme can have their full renewal fees waived for one year and new applicants to the Scheme can enjoy a 50 % reduction on the application fee
此外，政府聯同旅發局和旅議會推出"旅行社鼓勵計劃"，按旅行社接待的入境及出境過夜旅客數量，向有關旅行社提供現金鼓勵。
Besides the Government jointly with HKTB and TIC has launched the Travel Agents Incentive Scheme to provide cash incentives to travel agents based on the number of inbound and outbound overnight visitors they serve
自計劃於11月18日推出以來，旅發局和旅議會先後於11月底至12月初為業界舉行了4次簡介會，協助他們掌握申請手續。
Upon the launch of the Scheme on 18 November HKTB and TIC organized four briefings for the trade from end November to early December to facilitate their understanding of the application procedures
截至11月30日，旅發局和旅議會已收到約100間旅行社的申請，涉及近15,000名旅客，當中包括旅發局收到的56間旅行社申請，涉及入境旅客共10,890名。
As at 30 November HKTB and TIC received about 100 travel agents applications involving close to 15 000 visitors which included 56 travel agents applications received by HKTB involving 10 890 inbound visitors in total
總體來說，業界反應良好。
Overall the Scheme is well received by the trade
我們會與旅發局、旅議會和業界等保持緊密溝通，密切監察計劃的推行情況，並按需要考慮優化措施。
We will maintain close liaison with HKTB TIC the travel trade etc to closely monitor the implementation of the Scheme and consider enhancement measures as required
三 旅發局近年先後在中環及深水埗推出了兩個地區推廣項目，獲得業界和旅客正面評價。
3 In recent years HKTB launched two district programmes in Central and Sham Shui Po and received positive feedback from the travel trade and visitors
配合中上環及深水埗地區的新景點及新元素，旅發局會持續更新"舊城中環"及"深水埗"兩個項目，向旅客推廣，亦歡迎市民遊覽。
HKTB will continue to enrich the contents of the Old Town Central and Sham Shui Po promotions leveraging new attractions and new elements in Central and Sheung Wan as well as Sham Shui Po inviting visitors and locals to explore the districts
此外，由旅遊事務署以3年先導計劃形式，於鹽田梓舉辦集多方面旅遊元素於一身的新活動"鹽田梓藝術節2019"，已於本年11月30日開幕。
In addition the Tourism Commission is organizing a three - year pilot scheme integrating various tourism elements and the first event namely the Yim Tim Tsai Arts Festival 2019 has been launched on November 30 this year
本地藝術家及年輕人與鹽田梓村民共同創作，將鹽田梓塑造成一所"開放式的博物館"，透過裝置藝術表達島上既充滿天主教特色又饒富傳統的客家文化，以及優美的自然生態面貌。
Co - created by local artists youngsters and villagers the island has been turned into an open museum showcasing the co - existence of Roman Catholicism and traditional Hakka culture and the spectacular natural landscape with installation art
藝術節期間亦舉辦導賞團及多項與鹽田梓歷史、文化、生態、宗教等有關的活動，歡迎旅客和市民前往參觀遊覽，感受不一樣的香港。
Guided tours and activities covering the history culture ecology and religion of Yim Tin Tsai will be held for both visitors and locals to explore this unique heritage of Hong Kong
旅發局正積極協助向旅客推廣"鹽田梓藝術節2019"，包括透過旅發局網頁、旅客諮詢中心、社交平台等不同渠道發放鹽田梓藝術節的信息，並會安排合適的海外媒體報道採訪鹽田梓，以吸引旅客參加。
HKTB is actively promoting the Yim Tin Tsai Arts Festival 2019 to visitors including releasing relevant information through different channels such as HKTBs website visitor centres and social media platforms as well as arranging for overseas media coverage of Yim Tin Tsai so as to attract visitors
此外，在"鹽田梓藝術節2019"期間，旅發局在西貢海濱公園設置了展覽，讓遊人進一步認識西貢區的旅遊景點及優美景致。
During the Yim Tin Tsai Arts Festival 2019 HKTB has also set up an exhibition in Sai Kung Waterfront Park for visitors to explore the attractions and natural landscape of Sai Kung
未來，旅發局會繼續加強本地深度遊的開發工作，而在策劃地區推廣項目時，旅發局會考慮不同地區的旅遊資源，並與地區持份者充分溝通，再決定項目的詳情。
In the future HKTB will continue to step up efforts in developing in - depth local tourism . HKTB will take the distribution of tourism resources in different districts into consideration and communicate thoroughly with district stakeholders when making plans for district programmes and deciding programme details
主席，半年來，修例風波已嚴重影響旅遊業及相關行業。
President over the past six months the disturbances arising from the proposed legislative amendments have seriously affected the tourism and related industries
雖然政府已推出不同的資助計劃，但只是杯水車薪。
Though various subsidy schemes have been rolled out by the Government they can merely offer minimal help to the situation
我們估計，如果聖誕節和春節兩個旅遊旺季過去後，市面仍未回復平靜的話，旅遊業及相關行業難免會出現倒閉潮。
According to our estimate it will be unavoidable for the tourism and related industries to see a wave of business closures if the city has still not resumed peace after the peak travel seasons of Christmas and the Chinese New Year
因此，我想問局長，未來會否繼續推出更多支援計劃，包括推出消費券？
Therefore may I ask the Secretary will more support schemes such as consumer vouchers be continuously rolled out in the future?
我問局長會否考慮推出消費券，他卻沒有直接回答我這個問題。
President I asked the Secretary whether he would consider introducing consumption vouchers but he did not answer my question directly
我們聽到業界及議員的聲音，我們會積極考慮和研究。
We will actively consider and study the views received from the industry and Members
主席，修例風波引發的暴力事件和社會混亂真的是嚇走了所有遊客。
President tourists have all been scared away by the violent incidents and social unrest triggered by the disturbances arising from the proposed legislative amendments
我們的酒店入住率只剩六成，訪港旅客不論是國際遊客或內地遊客亦急跌，更悽慘的是，香港好客及開放的國際形象受到極嚴重打擊，前線導遊、領隊、飲食及酒店業全部工友均手停口停，形勢非常嚴峻。
The occupancy rate of our hotels only stands at 60 % and there is a drastic drop in the number of visitor arrivals either from overseas or from the Mainland . What is worse internationally Hong Kongs image as a hospitable and open city has suffered a severe blow . Frontline tour guides tour escorts and all employees in the catering and hotel industries have found themselves in severe hardship being unable to make a living
其實，就省下來的2億元，我們工聯會一直有一項建議，就是從這2億元中撥出一部分，例如一半，即1億元，用作推出"香港人遊香港"計劃，以每人每天200元資助額計算，便可有50萬人次受惠......
Actually regarding the 200 million saving The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions FTU has been advancing a proposal to allocate a portion of this 200 million say one half ie . 100 million for launching a local tour programme targeting Hong Kong people . Calculating on the basis of a 200 subsidy per person per day 500 000 persons will benefit
多謝陸議員。
I thank Mr LUK
我非常同意剛才陸議員的意見，持續的社會事件其實令很多行業，尤其是旅遊業前線的導遊、領隊及一眾"打工仔"，還有基層市民，受到相當大的影響，他們真的是手停口停。
I fully agree with the views expressed by Mr LUK just now . The continuous social events have actually had a substantial impact on many industries . In particular tour guides and tour escorts working at the frontline of the tourism industry the many wage earners and the grass - roots people are really unable to make a living
主席，大家當然都知道近半年的社會事件及暴力行為令旅遊業首當其衝，受極大的影響。
President we certainly know that the tourism industry has taken the brunt of the social events and violence in the recent six months which has suffered a great blow
多謝謝議員。
I thank Mr TSE
主席，我動議二讀《2019年漁業保護條例草案》。
President I move the Second Reading of the Fisheries Protection Amendment Bill 2019 the Bill
《條例草案》的目的是針對直至2012年6月14日完結前一直用於捕魚、但在2012年6月15日未領有由海事處發出有效運作牌照的漁船，允許其船東重新遞交登記申請，並授權漁農自然護理署署長在有限範圍內行使酌情權，考慮有關的申請個案。
The Bill aims to target owners of those fishing vessels which had been used for fishing up to the expiry of 14 June 2012 but did not possess a valid operating licence issued by the Marine Department on 15 June 2012 allowing them to reapply for registration
立法會於2012年修訂了《漁業保護條例》，當中包括引入了新的登記制度，規定所有漁船須向漁護署登記，方可在香港水域作業。
It also seeks to empower the Director of Agriculture Fisheries and Conservation DAFC to exercise discretion within a confined scope to allow the consideration of the cases concerned In 2012 the Legislative Council amended the Fisheries Protection Ordinance to among others introduce a new registration scheme under which fishing vessels must be registered with the Agriculture Fisheries and Conservation Department AFCD for conducting operations in Hong Kong waters
登記的其中一個條件，是漁船在2012年6月15日必須領有由海事處發出有效的運作牌照。
One of the registration prerequisites is that the fishing vessel must possess a valid operating licence issued by the Marine Department on 15 June 2012
在登記限期內，共約有4,500艘漁船獲登記。
During the registration period about 4 500 fishing vessels were registered
在遭拒絕登記申請的494宗個案中，319宗被拒的理由是有關漁船並不符合上述的運作牌照規定。
Among the 494 rejected cases of registration application 319 were turned down on the grounds that the fishing vessels concerned did not meet the above mentioned operating licence requirement
這些被拒個案，部分有可能是基於一些合理的原因，而非因漁民本身的過失或疏忽導致不符合規定，例如一些正在維修而未獲海事處檢查的漁船，在2012年6月15日當日便不可能領有有效的運作牌照。
Some of these rejected cases may have failed to comply with the requirement due to certain justifiable reasons rather than any fault or negligence on the part of the fishermen . For instance those fishing vessels which underwent repair and could not be inspected by the Marine Department would not possess a valid operating licence on 15 June 2012
然而，現時的《條例》並沒有賦予漁護署署長酌情權處理該些個案。
However DAFC does not have any discretionary power under the existing Ordinance to handle such cases
基於上述背景，我們建議修訂法例，讓漁護署署長酌情考慮這些個案。
Against this background we propose amending the legislation to let DAFC exercise discretion to allow the consideration of these cases
此外，有漁船船東可能以為根據現行規定，其漁船因未領有在2012年6月15日有效的運作牌照而不可能向漁護署登記在本港捕魚作業，而已把漁船出售或棄置。
Moreover some vessel owners whose fishing vessels did not possess a valid operating licence on 15 June 2012 might have already sold or disposed of their fishing vessels as they might have been under the impression that their vessels could no longer be registered with AFCD for conducting fishing operations in Hong Kong under the present requirement
因此，我們建議賦予漁護署署長酌情權考慮這些申請，發出臨時批准，給予合資格船東在指定時限內為一艘漁船登記的權利。
Therefore under our proposal DAFC will be provided with the discretion to consider these applications by introducing and issuing a Provisional Approval of Registration which certifies a right to register a fishing vessel within a specified time frame to eligible vessel owners
除了實施本地漁船登記制度外，我們自2012年12月31日起禁止在本港拖網捕魚。
In addition to the local fishing vessel registration scheme a ban on trawling activities in Hong Kong has been imposed since 31 December 2012
因應禁拖措施，《條例》訂明前拖網漁船的船東可申請合資格登記證明書，用作登記一艘非拖網漁船。申請證明書的其中一項條件是前拖網漁船必須在2012年6月15日已領有有效運作牌照。
In the light of the ban on trawling application for a Certificate of Eligibility for Registration CER is available to former trawler owners under the Ordinance to register a non - trawling fishing vessel provided that among others there was a valid operating licence for the former trawler on 15 June 2012
與涉及本地漁船的情況相若，漁護署署長在《條例》下亦無酌情權，向在當日未領有有效運作牌照的前拖網漁船發出證明書。
Similar to the situation for local fishing vessels DAFC does not have any discretionary power under the Ordinance to grant a CER in respect of a former trawler without a valid operating licence on that date
就此，《條例草案》建議訂定條文，考慮向在2012年6月15日並未領有有效運作牌照的前拖網漁船發出證明書。
In this connection the Bill proposes amending the provisions to allow the consideration of granting a CER to a former trawler which did not possess a valid operating licence on 15 June 2012
我們已於2019年2月12日，就建議諮詢了立法會食物安全及環境衞生事務委員會，並得到事務委員會的支持。
We consulted the Legislative Council Panel on Food Safety and Environmental Hygiene on 12 February 2019 on the proposal and have secured support from the Panel
業界對我們的建議亦表示支持。
The sector also supports our proposal
我們估計在法例修訂後只會有少數漁船申請恢復登記，因此不會大幅增加本地捕撈活動。
We expect only a small number of fishing vessels will apply for re - registration after the legislation have been amended and hence local fishing activities will not increase significantly
在《條例草案》獲立法會通過後，我們會公布登記計劃的安排，讓有意申請者和漁民團體知悉，並強調只有在2012年6月15日未領有有效運作牌照的漁船才合資格申請。
We shall publicize the arrangement of the registration scheme to potential applicants and association of the fisheries sector with the emphasis that only those vessels that did not possess a valid operating licence on 15 June 2012 are eligible for registration after the Bill is passed
我希望各位議員支持通過《條例草案》。
I hope Members can support the passage of the Bill
主席，我謹此陳辭，謝謝。
President I so submit . Thank you
政務司司長就"回應政府帳目委員會第七十一A號及 第七十二號報告書的政府覆文"向本會發言。
The Chief Secretary for Administration will address the Council on The Government Minute in response to the Report of the Public Accounts Committee No . 71A and No . 72
主席，與修例風波有關的被捕人士自本年6月起累計高達數千人，當中部分人陸續被控相關罪行。
President the cumulative number of persons arrested since June this year in relation to the disturbances arising from the proposed legislative amendments is as high as several thousands with some of them being one after another charged with the relevant offences
上月4日一宗涉及5名被告人的案件在東區裁判法院提堂時，律政司檢控同意書被發現把其中一名被告人的姓名弄錯，以及控罪的中英文版不一致，因此控方需撤回全部被告人的控罪。
On the 4th of last month when a case involving five defendants was brought before the Eastern Magistrates Courts a misnomer for one of the defendants and inconsistency in the Chinese and English versions of the charges were uncovered in the consent to prosecution of the Department of Justice DoJ . As a result the prosecution had to withdraw the charges against all the defendants
律政司其後對他們重新作出檢控。
Later on DoJ instituted prosecutions against them afresh
主席，現在出現這些"甩轆"事件，再加上檢控率低、排期長、檢控文件出錯，不但無助於止暴制亂，更令社會上一些別有用心的人可以散播違法也不需要負上責任的謬誤。
President the occurrence of such blunders now coupled with the low prosecution rate long listing time and errors in prosecution documents not only does little to help stop violence and curb disorder but also enables some people with ulterior motives in society to spread the fallacy that there is no liability for breaking the law
主席，我舉一個例子......
President let me cite an example
其中一個例子就是......
One example is
這是否代表檢控人手不足夠應付這工作量？
Does it mean that there are insufficient prosecutors to cope with this workload?
當局如何改善有關情況，並確保檢控程序公平，而且不會因為檢控文件出錯，而導致檢控程序出現問題？
How will the authorities improve this situation and ensure that the prosecution process is fair and free from problems arising from mistakes in prosecution documents?
主席，就11月20日香港理工大學事件，有242名被捕人士，法庭特別為此開了6個法院，下午2時已準備好，但律政司在晚上9時才提交文件，導致法庭在凌晨1時才完成工作，控方被法庭批評表現極不理想。
President in respect of the 242 people arrested in the incident on 20 November at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University hearings were particularly held in six courts . While the courts were ready at 2col00 pm DoJ had not submitted the documents until 9col00 pm . As a result the Court had not finished its work until 1 oclock in the early hours and the prosecution was criticized by the Court for its highly unsatisfactory performance
究竟是警方辦事的問題，導致控方文件準備不足，還是司長本身有問題？
Was there something wrong with the Polices way of work or was there something wrong with the Secretary that had resulted in the poor preparation of prosecution documents?
現時究竟是警方還是律政司作主？
Now who is actually calling the shots the Police or DoJ?
許智峯議員，請發言。
Mr HUI Chi - fung please speak
如果你不坐下，我會視之為行為極不檢點。
If you do not sit down I will regard your conduct as grossly disorderly
司長當然有顏面，完全不答覆議員的質詢。
Of course the Secretary deserves respect as she has not answered Members questions at all
我觀察到律政司的檢控工作很多時候不是基於證據，而是基於政治需要。
I have observed that DoJs prosecution work is often based on political needs rather than evidence
以香港理工大學事件為例，警方拘捕242人後，立即帶他們到裁判法院上庭，因而出現未備齊文件的情況，也有人尚未錄取口供，根本沒可能有合理的定罪機會。
Take the incident at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University as an example . Right after their arrests the 242 people were brought by the Police to the magistrates courts . As a result the documents were not completely prepared
法官除了指律政司的表現極不理想外，更指律政司浪費法庭的資源及律師的時間，控方還要當場道歉。
Besides some arrestees had not yet given their statements so it was absolutely impossible to have any reasonable chance of conviction . DoJ was criticized by the Magistrate not only for its woefully unsatisfactory performance but also for wasting the Courts resources and counsels time and the prosecution had to apologize on the spot
所以，上述種種正正反映濫捕、濫告的情況極其嚴重，我警告司長，立即停止這些行為。
Therefore all the above reflect exactly that the situation of arbitrary arrests and indiscriminate prosecutions is extremely serious . I warn the Secretary that she should stop these acts immediately
我的補充質詢是，她會否責成律政司及其檢控人員，立即下令停止這些濫捕、濫告的行為？
My supplementary question is Will she instruct DoJ and its prosecutors to immediately order an end to such acts of arbitrary arrest and indiscriminate prosecution?
主席，反修例風波至今已持續半年，其間激進分子不斷堵路、破壞設施及襲擊警務人員和市民，甚至有人死亡。
President the disturbances arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments have persisted for half a year during which the radicals have incessantly blocked roads vandalized facilities and attacked police officers and members of the public and some people even died
他們攻擊的對象及範圍不斷擴大，所用武器的殺傷力亦與日俱增。
The targets and scope of their attacks are continually expanding and the weapons they use are increasingly lethal
有評論指出，亂局除了嚴重打擊香港的經濟和國際聲譽，亦令市民飽受動盪和社會撕裂的煎熬。
There are comments that apart from dealing a heavy blow to the economy and international reputation of Hong Kong the chaotic situation has also resulted in members of the public being tormented by the turmoil and social dissension
市民為免受襲而噤聲，亦因擔心人身安全而不敢外出，言論自由和正常生活被剝奪。
Members of the public are deprived of freedom of speech and a normal life as they silence themselves to avoid attacks and dare not go out because of personal safety concern
主席，暴亂持續半年，很多市民皆責備政府整個團隊表現不濟及不團結，各部門和司局長皆各自為政，連回應亦蒼白無力。
President riots have persisted for half a year . Many people have criticized the whole team of government officials for its poor performance and disunity in the sense that various departments Secretaries of Department and Directors of Bureau work in silos and even their response is feeble
面對這一重大事件，政府和律政司依然只是發出聲明譴責暴力，在表達立場後沒有採取其他跟進行動。
In response to this major incident the Government and the Department of Justice still only issued a statement condemning such violence and expressing their stance without taking other follow - up actions
近日，警方亦發現很多武力升級的證據，包括搜獲真槍實彈和汽油彈，顯示出暴力越走越偏激，甚至出現恐怖主義的苗頭。
Recently the Police also found a great deal of evidence of the escalating use of force . Among others they have seized live ammunition and petrol bombs . This indicates that the violence is getting more and more intense and there are even signs of terrorism
現時，全港市民最希望見到政府有所作為，停止每星期在遊行集結後出現的極端暴力破壞行為。
At present the earnest hope of all people of Hong Kong is that the Government can be proactive to stop acts of extreme violence and vandalism that have taken place after the marches and assemblies every week
請問政府有何方法，踏實回應市民的深切期望呢？
May I ask what measures have been put in place by the Government as a practical response to peoples keen expectation?
旺角有多個十字路口，每天車來車往。
Heavy vehicular flows can be observed at many road junctions in Mong Kok every day
為此，行政長官曾在部門首長會議清楚要求所有部門須竭盡所能，以止暴制亂為己任。
At a meeting with the Heads of Departments Chief Executive clearly required all bureaux and departments to spare no effort in stopping violence and curbing disorder
顯而易見，這是不對題的，因為如果監援中心的工作到位，理應早已能夠止暴制亂。
Obviously it is irrelevant to what is going on now . I say so because had the work of EMSC been effective the authorities should have been able to stop violence and curb disorder long ago
司長可否承諾會成立包括司法當局代表的跨部門小組或統籌委員會，為香港人做實事呢？
Can the Chief Secretary undertake to set up an inter - departmental task force or coordinating committee comprising representatives from the judicial authorities and do some concrete things for Hong Kong people?
主席，我發言反對動議解除陳淑莊議員立法會議員職務的議案。
President I speak in objection to the motion to relieve Ms Tanya CHAN of her duties as a Member of the Legislative Council
眾所周知，2014年雨傘運動基本上是源於全港支持民主的市民，均對當時人大常委會作出的八三一"落閘"決定極感憤慨。
As we all know the Umbrella Movement in 2014 was basically caused by intense public indignation among Hong Kong people who support democracy when the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC made the 31 August Decision to shut the door on universal suffrage
根據一項民間統計，參與雨傘運動的市民數目高達100萬人。
According to a non - government statistics exercise the number of people participating in the Umbrella Movement was as high as 1 million
這100萬人雖在不同時間、不同崗位、不同地點投入運動之中，但事實上他們已清晰表達了其民主訴求。
Although these people took part in the Movement at different times by playing different roles in different places they have in fact clearly expressed their aspirations for democracy
