其實，監管機構一直按照這套制度和行事方式工作，處理螞蟻集團的上市申請時亦然。
In fact the regulatory authorities have all along followed this set of regimes and practices in performing their functions and they had done the same in handling the listing application of Ant Group
整體而言，香港的上市審核制度穩健，目前討論的個案亦同樣據此制度處理，我看不到議員剛才提及的問題。
Overall speaking the listing approval regime in Hong Kong is sound and the case that we are discussing now was handled under the same regime . I fail to see the problem mentioned by the Member
代理主席，螞蟻集團原計劃集資的金額超過2,600億元，破全球紀錄。
Deputy President Ant Group originally planned to raise funds of an amount over 260 billion a global record high
就此，我想詢問，在這次IPO招股至宣布取消上市計劃期間，香港的資金流動是否一直保持暢順？
In this connection my question is In this IPO exercise was the capital flow of Hong Kong smooth at all times from the invitation to subscription to the announcement of listing suspension?
金融市場是否一直保持穩定？
Was the financial market consistently stable?
這次事件會否影響內地股份來港作第二上市或內地公司來港上市發展？
Will this incident deter Mainland stocks from applying for secondary listing in Hong Kong or Mainland companies from listing in Hong Kong?
代理主席，多謝議員提出補充質詢。
Deputy President I thank the Member for his supplementary question
螞蟻集團決定暫緩上市至今，已經超過1個月，事件充分證明我們有能力維護貨幣和金融體系的穩定，反映香港金融系統的緩衝和抗震能力。
It has been more than a month since Ant Group decided to suspend its listing . This incident fully proves our capability to safeguard the stability of our monetary and financial systems reflecting the buffers and resilience in the financial system of Hong Kong
因此，我認為大家應該留意，今次事件反而顯示了香港市場的韌性和競爭力，令人更清楚知道本地資金池的吸納能力，以及香港即使出現這種情況仍能妥善處理退款安排。
Therefore I think it is worth noting that this incident has on the contrary demonstrated the resilience and competitiveness of the Hong Kong market giving people a better picture about the depth of our pool of liquidity and Hong Kongs capability to make proper refund arrangements in circumstances like this
香港如要保持國際金融中心的地位，便須盡量減少這種在認購期屆滿後撤回上市的情況，以給予投資者信心。
If Hong Kong is to maintain its status as an international financial centre it should do its best to avoid any listing being withdrawn after the end of the subscription period like what happened in this case so as to boost investors confidence
在今次事件中，我想問政府有何得着？
May I ask the Government the lesson it has learnt in this incident?
除了考慮剛才張華峰議員所述保薦人可能需要承擔的責任外，政府將如何避免這類已收取IPO認購款項但最終撤回上市的情況？
Apart from the potential responsibility of sponsors mentioned by Mr Christopher CHEUNG earlier will the Government also consider how to avoid the withdrawal of listing application after the receipt of IPO subscription money?
螞蟻集團今次暫緩上市是公司本身的決定，該公司亦已在11月3日就香港上市計劃發出公告，解釋事件。
The suspension of listing was decided by Ant Group . It issued an announcement about its listing plan in Hong Kong on 3 November to explain the suspension
反之，本港的金融系統穩定，退款安排亦如我剛才所述十分順暢。
Instead the financial system of Hong Kong has remained stable and the refund arrangements as I just said were very smooth
代理主席，今次螞蟻集團招股，有155萬名市民申請認購，對公眾投資者的影響其實很大。
Deputy President the IPO of Ant Group had huge impact on public investors as it attracted 1.55 million people to apply for subscription
局長，今後如有任何公司在暫緩上市後重啟上市程序，港交所除了會如主體答覆所言，按照一般程序進行審查，以及要求申請人及保薦人就先前暫緩上市的主要風險因素及緩解情況在招股書中作出補充外，會否考慮要求申請人及保薦人額外作出某些公開披露或說明，例如登報述明最新情況，以便公眾投資者在得悉風險變化後才決定是否再次認購？
Secretary in future if a company wishes to reactivate its listing application after the suspension of listing will HKEX apart from vetting the application in accordance with the normal procedure and requesting the applicant and its sponsors to provide supplementary information on the major risk factors relating to the previous listing suspension and the easing of such risks in its prospectus as stated in the main reply consider requiring the applicant and its sponsors to disclose or explain to the public some additional information eg . publishing on newspapers an announcement about the companys latest position so that public investors can learn about the changes in risk before deciding whether they will subscribe for its shares again?
代理主席，就這宗個案，如果螞蟻集團最終決定重啟上市程序，我們會按照現行機制處理。
Deputy President in the case of Ant Group if the company later decides to reactivate its listing application we will follow the existing mechanism in processing the application
一般來說，上市公司在港上市受《證券及期貨條例》及《上市規則》等法規規管，停牌期間或除牌後亦必須按照相關法規處理業務。
Generally speaking companies listed in Hong Kong are regulated by laws and regulations such as the Securities and Futures Ordinance and the Listing Rules . In times of trading suspension or after delisting they are still required to deal with their business according to the applicable laws and regulations including their articles of association and the company law of their places of incorporation
主席，剛才第四項質詢時，我曾提及康宏環球，審慎起見，我要申報我的律師行是有關苦主的代表。
President I mentioned Convoy Global in Question 4 just now . For the sake of prudence I have to declare that my law firm represents the victims
主席，2019冠狀病毒病第四波疫情來勢洶洶，不少行業苟延殘喘。
President with the fourth wave of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 epidemic coming inexorably quite a number of industries are operating for mere survival
有學者預計，隨着年關將至，加上政府由本月起不再向僱主發放工資補貼，企業倒閉及裁員潮即將淹至。
Some academics have anticipated that with the Lunar New Year approaching and the Government no longer disbursing wage subsidies to employers from this month onwards there will be imminent waves of enterprises closing down and layoffs
有輿論批評，政府豪花300億元資助最終仍需大幅裁減逾5300個職位的國泰航空集團，但卻拒絕以相若金額，代全港僱主及僱員向強制性公積金計劃供款半年，反映政府政策着重個別公司、忽視全港勞工困境，而且政府往往錯判形勢、藥石亂投。
There have been public opinions criticizing the Government for spending 30 billion lavishly on subsidizing the Cathay Group which still needs to make a substantial cut of over 5 300 positions eventually but refusing to spend a similar amount on making contributions to the Mandatory Provident Fund MPF schemes on behalf of the employers and employees in Hong Kong for half a year
在制訂來年財政預算案的諮詢過程中，我們會繼續聽取市民的不同訴求和深入考慮不同建議。
During the consultation exercise for next years Budget we will continue to gauge different views from the public and thoroughly consider different suggestions
因財政困難而未能依時清繳稅款的納稅人，可申請分期繳稅。
Taxpayers who encounter financial difficulties in settling their tax bills on time may apply for payment of tax by instalments
獲稅務局批准分期繳付2019-2020課稅年度薪俸稅及個人入息課稅稅單的納稅人，如能依期繳交所有分期款 項，可獲豁免徵收附加費，豁免期以稅單的繳稅期限日起計的一年為上限。
For taxpayers who have obtained the Inland Revenue Department IRDs approval for instalment settlement of the demand notes for salaries tax and personal assessment for YA 2019 - 2020 no surcharge will be imposed for a maximum period of one year counted from the respective due dates of the demand notes provided that the instalment plans are duly adhered to
此外，稅務局就暫繳稅亦設有緩繳安排，若納稅人預計本年度的應課稅入息將較上年度下跌超過一成，可向稅務局申請緩繳部分或全數暫繳稅。
Besides IRD also provides for a holding over arrangement of provisional tax . Taxpayers anticipating a decrease of more than 10 % in their net chargeable income for the current YA may apply to IRD for holding over of the whole or part of the provisional tax
二 在推出超過3,000億元的措施後，政府2020-2021年度的預計綜合赤字已增至超過3,000億元，財政儲備則降至約8,000多億元，相等於約12至13個月的政府開支，龐大的財赤金額是前所未見。
2 After implementation of the various measures amounting to over 300 billion the Governments consolidated deficit for 2020 - 2021 is expected to increase to over 300 billion . Fiscal reserves will also be reduced to around 800 billion equivalent to around 12 to 13 months of government expenditure . This deficit level is unprecedentedly high
本地疫情發展加上外圍經濟充滿不確定性，政府一方面需要審慎理財，避免財政儲備急速萎縮，另一方面要適度而具針對性地支援受影響的企業及人士。政府需在兩者之間取得恰當的平衡。
Given the local epidemic situation and also the uncertainty besetting the external economic environment the Government must strike a balance between ensuring the prudent use of public resources to prevent a rapid dwindling of fiscal reserves on the one hand and providing adequate support for affected businesses and individuals on the other
正如上述，政府已推出超過3,000億元的利民紓困措施，當中包括"保就業"計劃，既為企業帶來現金流，又為員工保住"飯碗"。
As mentioned above the Government has implemented relief measures of over 300 billion including ESS which brings cash flow to enterprises and safeguards jobs for staff
近日不斷有裁員消息，除了國泰航空公司外，還有永安旅行社及有線電視。
Recently there have been reports of layoffs at Cathay Pacific Airways Wing On Travel and Cable Television
不過，其實我們有很多措施是"以個人為本"，包括我剛才介紹的稅務寬免，也是以個人作為基礎。
However in fact many of our measures are individual - based including the tax concessions that I have briefly talked about a moment ago
如果大家記得，在今天的6項口頭質詢中，羅局長在第一項質詢時，便列舉未來如何優化社會保障網的一系列措施。
As Members may recall among the six oral questions today Secretary Dr LAW has in reply to Question 1 cited a series of measures for enhancing the social welfare safety net in the future
主席，政府的"保就業"計劃剛在11月底結束，有旅行社大幅裁員，失業情況現已非常嚴峻。
President with the ending of the Governments ESS in late November some travel agencies announced massive layoffs . The unemployment situation is very severe now
預計香港的失業潮會在明年第一季爆發，中小企及基層市民會首當其衝。
It is anticipated that a wave of unemployment will sweep over Hong Kong in the first quarter of next year; small and medium enterprises SMEs and the grass roots will be the first to bear the brunt
所以，我們要持續監察社會及經濟情況，適時推出合適措施，針對性地或從多方面支持經濟，並為市民推出相應的紓困措施。
Therefore we have to continuously monitor the socio - economic situation introduce suitable measures as and when appropriate for supporting the economy in a targeted or multi - faceted manner as well as implement corresponding relief measures for the public
主席，局長的主體答覆很清楚，政府用了數千億元救市和保就業，但現實的情況是：由於疫情持續，經濟極差，越來越多市民失業，越來越多中小企結業。
President the Secretarys main reply has very clearly conveyed the message that the Government has spent hundreds of billions of dollars on rescue measures and employment support . However the reality is that owing to the continual epidemic the economy remains in the doldrums with more and more members of the public being laid off and SMEs closing down
局長，我每次見你都問同一問題。
Secretary I ask you the same question every time I see you
如果政府認為這方法不可行，請告訴我們有甚麼方法幫助現時處於水深火熱的市民。
If the Government considers this suggestion infeasible please tell us what can be done to help those living in great hardship
政府不可以說，最重要是目標"清零"，重啟經濟，我們現時看不到政府有甚麼積極方法可以"清零"及重啟經濟。
The Government cannot pay lip service saying that its top priority is to achieve zero infection and relaunch the economy . So far we see no concrete action taken by the Government to achieve zero infection and relaunch the economy
我們要求政府推行強制全民檢測，政府又不推行。
While we have asked the Government to introduce mandatory universal testing the Government has not done so
如果政府甚麼也不做，市民根本看不見希望，所以請政府准許市民提取自己的強積金自救，可以嗎？
If the Government takes no action members of the public simply fails to see any hope at all . As such can the Government allow members of the public to withdraw their MPF contributions for self - salvation?
多謝葛議員的提問。
I thank Ms QUAT for her question
我相信作為負責任的官員，絕對不應為解決燃眉之急而把問題延後解決，這不是恰當的做法，希望大家能夠理解。
I believe that any government official with a sense of responsibility will not put problems aside just to meet urgent needs . This is not an appropriate approach . We hope you all will understand
我希望大家能夠"一籃子"考慮我們如何多管齊下，在發展經濟的同時，兼顧眼前的問題，這是我們一直以來的理念。
I hope that you will look at the full picture and consider how we have adopted a multi - pronged approach to pursue economic development and at the same time cope with immediate problems . This has been our guiding principle all along
立法會秘書處發表的研究報告指出，現時在非熟地興建住宅樓宇需時最少10年，原因是涉及冗長的規劃過程。
As pointed out in a research report published by the Legislative Council Secretariat the development of non - spade - ready sites for residential buildings currently takes at least 10 years as lengthy planning processes are involved
主要持份者曾多次促請政府作出檢討並加快規劃過程。
Major stakeholders have repeatedly urged the Government to conduct a review and expedite the planning processes
主席，現時由"生地"變成可建屋的"熟地"，直至單位落成，往往需時10年，甚至更長時間，當中法定改劃只是整個發展流程其中一環。
President at present it usually takes 10 years or more to transform a piece of primitive land into a spade - ready site and from construction of housing to its completion . Among which statutory rezoning is only one part in the entire development flow
以透過改劃單一地段發展公營房屋為例，首先是進行技術可行性研究去評估，例如在交通、環境等方面有否存在不可克服的問題和作出初步建議，接着根據《城市規劃條例》進行改劃，然後展開詳細工程及建築設計。
To take the example of rezoning a single lot for the development of public housing the first step is to conduct a technical feasibility study to assess whether there are insurmountable issues regarding aspects such as transport and environment and to put forward a preliminary proposal . Rezoning will then proceed under the Town Planning Ordinance Cap
如果牽涉私人土地，亦要按《收回土地條例》和其他條例為收地和工程範圍刊憲和處理反對意見，以及為清理政府土地作出預備。
131 followed by detailed engineering and architectural designs the gazettal of land resumption and works area and the handling of objections under the Lands Resumption Ordinance Cap . 124 and other ordinances if any private lot is involved as well as the preparation for clearance of Government land
待詳細設計及預算開支準備就緒，政府會向立法會申請工程相關撥款，獲批後正式啟動收地程序和為受影響住戶或經營者提供安置補償安排，然後清理土地以便展開土地平整和基建工程。
When the detailed designs and estimated expenditures are ready the Government will seek funding approval from the Legislative Council for the related works and if approved the land resumption procedures will officially commence and rehousing compensation will be arranged for the affected tenants or operators . Afterwards the land will be cleared for site formation and infrastructural works
以上各個環節一般合共需用上約6年或以上的時間，而興建單位一般大約需要4年。
The above will normally take a total of around six years or more while the building of flats requires around four years in general
由上述可見，要加快的不單是改劃流程，還有其他發展程序。
As seen from the above it is not only the rezoning process but also other development procedures that have to be streamlined
上星期公布的《行政長官2020年施政報告》建議擴闊發展局轄下精簡 發展管制督導小組的組成和工作範圍，目的正是要進行更全面檢視以加快整個發展流程。
The Chief Executives 2020 Policy Address announced last week suggests expanding the composition and remit of the Steering Group on Streamlining Development Control under the Development Bureau DEVB to review more comprehensively as well as expedite the whole development process
就劉議員主體質詢的3個部分，我的答覆如下： 一 《條例》在制訂圖則和處理規劃申請兩方面，均有清晰的法定時限。
My response to the three sections of the main question raised by Mr LAU is as follows 1 The Ordinance provides clear statutory time limits for both plan - making and processing of planning application
根據該條例，在制訂圖則時，所有有關圖則或修訂都會予以展示，為期兩個月，以供公眾查閱和提出意見。
According to the Ordinance all relevant plans or amendments in the process of plan - making will be exhibited for two months for public inspection and comment
在圖則展示期屆滿後9個月內，城市規劃委員會須把圖則和相關修訂，連同有關申述和意見，一併提交行政長官會同行政會議核准。
The Town Planning Board TPB is required to submit the plans and amendments together with the representations and comments to the Chief Executive in Council for approval within nine months after the expiry of the plan exhibition period
如果有個案因其特殊情況而須提請行政長官將時限延長，最多也只能延長6個月，換言之，一般制訂圖則必須在11至17個月內完成。
In case of special circumstances where approval of the Chief Executive has to be sought to extend the time limit only a maximum extension of six months could be allowed . In other words plan - making in general has to be completed within 11 to 17 months
處理規劃申請方面，《條例》訂明城規會須在收到根據《條例》第16條提交的規劃許可申請後的兩個月內考慮，或在收到根據第12A條提交的修訂圖則申請後的3個月內作出考慮。
As regards the handling of planning applications the Ordinance stipulates that TPB must consider applications for permission submitted in accordance with section 16 of the Ordinance within two months from the date of receipt or applications for plan amendment submitted in accordance with section 12A within three months from the date of receipt
總的來說，城規會在這些法定時序下不可能延誤處理圖則和規劃申請。
In short TPB will not delay the preparation of plans and the handling of planning applications under these statutory schedules
至於質詢提及有個案長達20年，可能牽涉個別規劃申請多次提交城規會但始終未獲批准。
As for a case mentioned in the question which took as long as 20 years to be processed it is about an individual planning application which has been submitted to TPB for a number of times with no approval given eventually
規劃申請或圖則修訂是否獲通過涉及不同考慮，與加快流程本身並無直接關係。
In determining whether a planning application and an amendment of plan will be approved or not different considerations come into play which do not bear any direct relationship with speeding up the process
二 上文提及的督導小組，由發展局規劃地政科與其轄下規劃署、地政總署和屋宇署在2018年組成，在過去兩年多積極研究如何在不影響部門各自的法定程序和技術要求下，理順他們在審批發展項目時的安排和流程，以及釐清各部門所採用的標準和定義；經諮詢業界後，已公布有關建築物高度限制、園景要求等7項課題的精簡審批安排。
2 The aforementioned Steering Group comprising DEVB and the Planning Department PlanD the Lands Department LandsD and the Buildings Department BD thereunder was set up in 2018 . In the past two years it has been working proactively to explore how best to rationalize the approval process and arrangements without prejudicing the relevant statutory procedures and technical requirements as well as to clarify the standards and definitions adopted by departments . In consultation with the industry streamlined measures covering seven topics such as building height restriction and landscape requirements have been promulgated
為進一步壓縮公、私營房屋項目的發展時間表，發展局會擴闊督導小組的組成和工作範圍，包括納入發展局以外的審批部門，以便更全面地檢視各個範疇的發展審批程序；以及理順各個政策局之間與發展相關的規定，例如檢視各項技術評估的要求是否清晰和合宜。
To further compress the development schedule of both public and private housing projects DEVB will expand the composition and remit of the Steering Group to include vetting departments other than those under DEVB with a view to reviewing more comprehensively the development approval processes in various aspects and rationalizing the development - related requirements imposed by different bureaux such as reviewing whether the technical assessment requirements are clear and suitable
此外，發展局將會成立項目促進辦事處，負責跟進較大規模的私人住宅用地規劃、地契修訂和其他發展審批申請，協調各個參與審批項目的部門加快審批流程，促進房屋供應。
In addition DEVB will set up the Development Projects Facilitation Office DPFO to facilitate the processing of planning lease modification and other development approval applications for larger - scale private residential sites . DPFO will coordinate with departments involved to expedite the approval process with a view to increasing housing supply
至於將規劃申請進一步數碼化的建議，現時城規會網頁已上載了數碼化的法定圖則和城規會文件等資料供公眾查閱。
As regards the suggestion on further digitizing planning applications information such as digitized statutory plans and TPBs documents has already been uploaded to TPBs website for public inspection
規劃署亦正檢討現時以電子方式提交規劃申請的渠道，務求令日後提交申請更為便利，有關優化措施將適時推出。
PlanD is also examining the ways for electronic submission of planning applications with a view to further facilitating the submission of applications in the future . The relevant enhancement measures will be rolled out in due course
三 香港法定圖則的土地用途定義有一定的彈性。
3 The definition of land use in the statutory plans of Hong Kong allows a certain degree of flexibility
舉例而言，假如擬議發展屬法定圖則的經常准許用途，或屬於有關土地用途地帶的"第一欄"用途，項目倡議人無須申請規劃許可。
For example if the proposed development is an always permitted use or a Column 1 use of the relevant land use zone a project proponent is not required to apply for a planning permission
另外，對於一些已完成規劃審批，但有待工程撥款或地契簽立等環節的個案，我們目前亦有機制因應需要，先透過發出短期租約或政府內部撥地，讓有關單位可以早點進場開展所需的前期工作。
On the other hand for cases where planning permission has been given but project funding or land lease execution and so on are pending we have put in place a mechanism to allow the party concerned on a need basis to enter the site earlier and commence advance work required by granting a short - term tenancy or government internal land grant
至於香港和新加坡方面，香港與新加坡的規劃制度各有各的歷史和演變進程。
With regard to Hong Kong and Singapore the planning systems of Hong Kong and Singapore have their own history and evolution
儘管兩者未能直接比較，我們未來會在督導小組的擴大工作範圍中參考新加坡的經驗。
While the two systems are not directly comparable we will look into the experience of Singapore in the expanded remit of the Steering Group
多謝局長就主體質詢所作的回應。
I thank the Secretary for his response to the main question
主席，感謝劉議員的質詢。
President I thank Mr LAU for his question
就第12A條的情況，有些項目的確在獲得城規會通過後，還要進行整份分區計劃大綱草圖的改劃 工作。
With respect to section 12A it is true that for projects that have been approved by TPB amendments have to be made to the draft OZP
同樣道理，如果已通過第12A條的第一關，然後有人提出司法覆核，我相信處理土地行政工作的相關部門可以在司法覆核的過程中，提早同步處理某些工序。
By the same token if an application that has obtained approval in the first round under section 12A is subsequently subject to a judicial review I believe the relevant department dealing with land administration can handle in advance certain procedures while pending the outcome of the judicial review
當然，要待整個司法覆核程序完成後，才可以真正確認及完成其他程序。
Of course the other procedures can only be confirmed and finalized upon completion of the entire judicial review
主席，坊間有很多研究報告均顯示，土地規劃過程中存在一些問題，以致千辛萬苦覓得的土地不能夠被高效利用及作健康發展。
President many researches conducted in the community found that there are problems in the land planning process resulting in sites identified with great difficulties cannot be used efficiently and developed healthily
其實，新加坡市建局於1997年已經開始引入電腦化系統，包括電腦化規劃申請表格和電子遞交及進度追蹤系統。
In fact since 1997 the Urban Redevelopment Authority URA of Singapore has introduced a computerized system including a computerized planning application form and an electronic submission and progress tracking system
申請人不僅可透過系統遞交圖則及文字檔案，以供網上批核，有關系統亦具備方便快捷的計算功能，例如自動計算地積比率、上蓋面積、公用休憩用地及處理費用。
Not only can applicants attach drawings and text files for online approval but the e - portal also supports a fast and hassle - free computation process such as auto - computation of plot ratio site coverage communal open space and processing fees
政府有否統計單位延誤落成的原因；會否引入新的電子系統以簡化及加快審批程序；以及日後會否就土地改劃進度提出明確的中短期目標及工作計劃，並定期檢視工作進度及接受市民的監督？
Has the Government compiled statistics on the reasons for delayed completion of housing developments; will it introduce a new electronic system to streamline and expedite the vetting and approval process; will it formulate specific short - and medium - term goals and work plans in respect of the rezoning progress in the future and will it review on a regular basis the work progress and accept public supervision?
規劃署現正研究建立一個新的電子系統，當中部分功能與吳議員所述的相似。
At present PlanD is studying the establishment of a new electronic system with some of the functions similar to those described by Mr NG
首先，我們肯定這個系統能夠應付大量申請文件，同時會引入"智方便"功能，作為提交申請的數碼簽署工具。
First we must assure that the new system can cope with a large number of applications and the iAM Smart function will be introduced as a digital signing tool for submitting applications
我們相信日後申請人提交申請時會更為便利。
We trust that applicants will find it more convenient to submit their applications in the future
吳議員剛才提到新加坡的一些良好做法，我們會盡量借鏡。
Just now Mr NG highlighted some good practices of Singapore
我們目前希望有關系統可以在明年下半年完成。
We will draw on the practices as far as possible and hope that the relevant system will be completed in the second half of next year
主席，劉國勳議員提出這項質詢，可見他對於發展方面用了很大力度，其中特別提到《條例》。
President it can be seen from the question raised by Mr LAU Kwok - fan that he has put in a lot of effort on development and particular reference has been made to the Ordinance
他問及一些正在進行司法覆核的項目，特區政府可否進行一些可修復式的工程或加快部門之間的溝通，這當然是可以的。
Referring to cases under judicial review Mr LAU asked if the SAR Government could proceed with the restoration works or expedite the communication among various departments . This is certainly feasible
我可以在此告訴何議員，近年城規會已很清楚表明，不會容許這種"先破壞、後建設"的情況。
I can tell Mr HO here that in recent years TPB has already made it very clear that the act of destroy first and build later will not be permitted
不論一塊土地目前的情況如何，如果我們在諮詢漁農自然護理署後得知該幅土地過往是優質農地，城規會一定會充分考慮，亦已清楚表明不接受"先破壞、後建設"的做法。
Disregarding the prevailing state of a piece of land if we learn from the Agriculture Fisheries and Conservation Department that it was once a piece of quality agricultural land TPB will surely take this into full consideration . Also TPB has made it clear that the act of destroy first and build later is unacceptable
主席，簡化規劃及發展的審批程序從而加快覓地和建屋流程，是很多人所想。
President many people indeed wish to see the streamlining of the vetting and approval process for planning and development thereby speeding up the workflow of land identification and housing construction
主席，其實我在上屆立法會已經提出這問題，我很高興特首今年的施政報告將有關事宜納入為一項政策。
President as a matter of fact I had already raised this issue in the previous term of the Legislative Council . I am very glad that the Chief Executive has included the relevant issue as a policy in this years Policy Address
主席，督導小組於2018年成立，兩年多以來只就7項精簡審批安排發出指引。
President the Steering Group was set up in 2018 and it has only issued guidelines on seven streamlined measures over the past two years or so
督導小組在兩年多完成7項工作，而我當年好像提出了10項建議。
While the Steering Group completed seven tasks in more than two years I think I had made as many as 10 recommendations back then
