主席，施政報告第205段提到東涌和天水圍將會興建公眾街市，我們當然非常歡迎政府這個回應。
President it is stated in paragraph 205 of the Policy Address that public markets will be built in Tung Chung and Tin Shui Wai . Certainly we welcome this response from the Government
其實，過去多年來，民建聯一直要 求政府在東涌興建公眾街市，而就於東涌興建公眾街市一事，我在今年7月曾致函特首林鄭月娥，建議一個東涌市中心的地點可供興建一座綜合市政大樓，包括公眾街市及熟食市場等。
Over the past years the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB has been calling on the Government to build public markets in Tung Chung . With regard to the construction of public markets in Tung Chung I wrote to the Chief Executive Carrie LAM in July this year and proposed a site in Tung Chung town centre for the construction of a municipal complex to house a public market and cooked food centre and so on
主席，我當然明白東涌人口會不斷膨脹，以及搬往新填海區的居民對公眾街市的需求，但我也希望政府能夠聽到我們的聲音，不應對現有居民的訴求置之不顧。
President I certainly understand that the population in Tung Chung will expand and the demand of future residents in the new reclamation area for a public market . But I still hope the Government can heed our voices instead of turning a deaf ear to the aspirations of the existing residents
我們希望政府真的能夠考慮接納我們的建議，在東涌市中心興建公眾街市，為現有居民提供服務和回應他們的訴求。
We hope the Government can really consider accepting our proposal for building a public market in Tung Chung town centre to provide services for existing residents and respond to their aspirations
同時，我們還有另一個訴求，與北大嶼山醫院有關。
Meanwhile we would also like to make another request concerning the North Lantau Hospital
主席，徐醫生其實已很了解，因為我們在很多不同場合和會議都對他說過很多次，他也十分明白。
President Dr CHUI should have a good understanding of our request because we have told him many times on different occasions and at different meetings
北大嶼山醫院未來須應付東涌不斷膨脹達25萬至28萬的人口，但北大嶼山醫院目前仍然欠缺很多不同的專科，包括腎科和泌尿科等。
Although the North Lantau Hospital is required to cope with the growing population in Tung Chung which is expected to reach 250 000 to 280 000 many specialties including the renal and urology units are still missing
我要求政府考慮，與其我們每一個專科都要爭取這也是我們在地區正進行的工作倒不如將北大嶼山醫院整體升格成為全科醫院，那麼北大嶼山醫院便可以一應俱全，能夠提供所有專科，從而更好地長遠服務未來北大嶼山膨脹人口的需要。
Instead of launching a campaign for each specialty I would like to request the Government to consider upgrading the North Lantau Hospital as a whole to a general hospital―it is among the district work undertaken by us currently―so that all specialty services can be provided there to better cater to the future needs of the expanding population in North Lantau in the long run
所以，我們希望北大嶼山醫院能升格成為全科醫院，全方位地回應居民的訴求。
This explains why we hope the North Lantau Hospital can be upgraded to a general hospital in response to the aspirations of residents on all fronts
我在此表達這些意見到此為止，稍後會就其他範圍再發言。
I shall stop expressing my views here . I will speak again on other areas later in the meeting
主席，施政報告開首部分提到公共財政，特首明言香港坐擁過萬億港元的財政儲備，應該"取諸社會、用諸社會"，更應該利用儲備作長遠投資，為市民解困。
President the Policy Address talks about public finance in its opening . The Chief Executive has clearly stated that with a fiscal reserve in excess of 1,000 billion Hong Kong should use such wealth derived from the community to benefit the community and it should also make long - term investment with its reserve to relieve peoples burdens
撇開其他方面不談，我們有36,000億元、37,000多億元的儲備，又怎會解決不了現時的社會福利問題，甚至退休保障問題呢？
Leaving aside other aspects with a reserve totalling some 3,600 billion or 3,700 billion how will we not be able to address the existing social welfare issues or even universal retirement protection?
我想集中談談退休保障及勞工議題。
I wish to focus my discussion on retirement protection and labour issues
因此，在特區政府目前坐擁過萬億元儲備的情況下，社福界有意見認為最簡單的做法是撥出2,000億元作為社會未來的退休保障基金。
Hence given that the SAR Government currently has a fiscal reserve in excess of 1,000 billion there is a view in the welfare sector that the simplest approach is to set aside 200 billion for setting up a retirement protection fund for society in the future
我相信這並非甚麼難事，亦可以滿足社福界或市民大眾的期望，由政府先踏出第一步。
I believe it will not be a difficult task and it can satisfy the expectations of the welfare sector or the general public marking the first step of the Government
大家年幼時也曾聽過一句俗語，就是每天也離不開"開門七件事"，即柴、米、油、鹽、醬、醋、茶。
When we were small we must have heard the saying that went Life is all about the seven necessities to begin a day which are firewood rice oil salt sauce vinegar and tea
香港的中小企現時同樣面對7項勞工議題，即最低工資、標準工時、取消強制性公積金對沖、把男性僱員的侍產假由3天增至5天、把勞工假期由11天增至17天、集體談判權，如再加上可能要把女性僱 員的產假由10個星期增至14個星期，香港大部分中小企可能便要面對"開門七件勞工事"。
At present the small and medium enterprises SMEs in Hong Kong also face seven labour issues namely the minimum wage standard working hours abolition of the Mandatory Provident Fund MPF offsetting arrangement extension of the duration of paternity leave granted to a male employee from three days to five days increasing the labour holidays from 11 days to 17 days and the right to collective bargaining . Together with the proposed extension of the duration of maternity leave granted to a female employee from 10 weeks to 14 weeks most SMEs in Hong Kong may have to face the seven labour issues to begin a day
既然我們已繳稅，財富分配本應由政府負責。
Given that we have paid tax the Government is supposed to be responsible for wealth redistribution
上屆政府表示會撥出97億元，今屆政府則表示加多點也沒有問題，絕對是可以解決問題的方案。
According to the last - term Government it would set aside 9.7 billion and the current - term Government has indicated that it is willing to increase its financial commitment . The proposal is absolutely a workable solution
因此，如果我們可以為這個"大水池"封頂，讓失業的員工在未來3個月或6個月的生活得到保障，依靠這筆錢令生活不成問題，從而盡快找到新工作，便可解決任意取之於"大水池"或隨意"提款"的問題，因為"封頂"的金額是有數得計的。
Hence if we can impose a cap on this big pool to provide unemployed staff members with livelihood protection for the next three or six months thereby enabling them to make ends meet with this sum of money and get a new job as soon as possible we can then prevent the practice of arbitrarily drawing money from the big pool or making withdrawal at will because the amount will be subject to a cap
我們希望能長久地、永遠解決這個問題，而非過渡性質，即10年過後，問題便在第11年出現。
We hope to find a permanent solution so that the problem may be resolved once and for all instead of a transitional solution which cannot prevent recurrence of the problem in the 11 year after a decade
又或者有些公司在10年資助期屆滿前的兩年才成立，例如年輕人成立的初創企業，往後便要自行承擔所有費用。
Or for some companies which have just been set up two years before the expiry of the 10 - year funding period such as those start - ups established by young people they will have to bear all the costs themselves in the future
因此，我們認為這個"大水池方案"可以永久解決這個問題，並可持續地延續下去。
In light of these we consider the big pool proposal a permanent solution to the problem and it is perpetually sustainable
因此，我希望局長在作出所有估算後，再計算我們在方案中提出的數字，考慮可否採用現時勞工界和商界均已達成共識的"大水池方案"。
Hence I hope the Secretary will having made a complete estimate work on the figures stated in our proposal so as to consider whether the big pool proposal on which a consensus has now been reached between the labour sector and the business sector may be adopted
主席，有些同事真的很天真，問為何不推行租者置其屋計劃。
President some Honourable colleagues are rather naïve to ask why not implement the Tenants Purchase Scheme TPS
如果政府真的希望市民能夠買樓，有很多土地可用來建屋：有棕土、鄉村式發展用地、軍事用地等很多不同的土地，政府根本沒有心。
If the Government truly hopes people can purchase properties there is plenty of land for housing construction brownfields village type development sites military sites etc . But the Government practically does not have such an intention
其實想改善民生，最重要的是實行對老人家和"打工仔"有保障的合理政策。
In fact to improve peoples livelihood it is the most imperative to implement reasonable policies that protect elderly persons and workers
不過，跟這個局長談全民退休保障和標準工時，即是對着空氣說話，我又不想浪費時間。
However talking to this Secretary on universal retirement protection and standard working hours means talking to air―I do not want to waste time
所以，我想花一點時間說醫療政策。
Therefore I wish to spending some time discussing health care policies
新局長上任，我原本有點期望，便是一些舊思維能否改變。
With a new Secretary assuming office initially I had some expectations for some old mindset to change
當時的老年人口大約徘徊10%，現在我們即將面對的是25%。
At the time elderly population was around 10 % and now the percentage we will face is 25 %
為甚麼我們面對老年人口增加，政府投入資源的比率卻沒有增加？
In the light of a growing elderly population why has the Government not increased the proportion of resources allocated?
如果沒有議員想發言，我會請官員發言。
If no Member wishes to speak I will invite public officers to speak
主席，這是特首林鄭月娥上任後第一份施政報告，全面涵蓋良好管治、多元經濟、改善民生，提出多項措施，為香港的未來帶來新的起點。
President this is Chief Executive Carrie LAMs first Policy Address since she assumed office . The Policy Address proposed various measures on such aspects as proper governance diversified economy and improving peoples livelihood bringing a new starting point to Hong Kongs future
我在這段時間落區聽到很多居民的意見，他們大部分普遍對這份施政報告反應正面。
I have gauged views from members of the public in the local districts during this past period . The response of the majority of them to this Policy Address was positive in general
主席，在這個環節，我會主力就房屋事務及福利事務向政府表達我們的關注及建議。
President in this session I will mainly express my concerns about housing and welfare as well as make some relevant suggestions
房屋是民建聯及全港市民非常關心的課題之一， 亦是今次施政報告的重中之重。
Housing is one of the issues of concern to DAB and all Hong Kong people with top priority being given to it in the Policy Address
但是，本屆政府與上屆政府在房屋理念上有相當的差異。
However the vision on housing of the current - term Government is rather different from that of the last term
簡單而言，上屆政府的房屋理念是"協助基層上樓、協助中產置業"，而本屆的理念則是以"置業為主導"。
In short the vision on housing of the last - term Government was assisting grass - root families in moving into public housing and the middle - income families in buying their own homes while that of the current - term Government focuses on home ownership
我們再進一步看看理念下的政策目標，兩者分別便更加明顯。
The differences between the two become even more obvious when we take a closer look at the policy objectives
今屆政府的政策元素有4點，包括：一 房屋並不是簡單的商品，因此在樓市中政府有其不可或缺的角色；二 以置業為主導，政府會致力建立置業階梯，為不同收入的家庭重燃置業希望；三 聚焦供應，在《長遠房屋策略》的基礎上，加大增加房屋單位方面的努力；及四 在供應未到位前，會想方設法善用現有房屋。
The housing policy of the current - term Government comprises the following four elements 1 housing is not a simple commodity thus the Government has an indispensable role to play in this area; 2 the Government will focus on home ownership and strive to build a housing ladder to rekindle the hopes of families in different income brackets to become home owners; 3 the Government will focus on the supply and step up effort in increasing housing units based on the Long Term Housing Strategy LTHS; and 4 while new supply is not yet in place the Government will strive to optimize existing housing resources
兩組政策目標比較之下，兩屆政府都有強調建構置業階梯，亦有重申政府在樓市的角色。
In comparing the two sets of policy objectives both Governments emphasized building a housing ladder and reiterated its role in the property market
不過，今屆政府在協助市民置業方面顯得更為積極，而在整體樓市供應中亦希望有更強的主導角色，但在協助基層"上樓"方面則未有太多着墨，在第8頁第21段只是說了一句："政府會致力縮短公屋的輪候時間"，或者可以說是被"置業為主導"蓋過。
The current - term Government however seems more proactive in assisting the public in buying their own homes and assumes a stronger leading role in housing supply as a whole although assisting grass - roots families in moving into public housing was only briefly mentioned in paragraph 21 in page 8 the Government will strive to shorten the waiting time for public rental housing . Or perhaps the subject was overshadowed by the focus on home ownership
但是，我想藉此機會重申民建聯的立場：我們要求政府確保"3年上樓"的目標，以及爭取每年興建最少2萬個公屋單位，這才是就整個施政報告而言，在我落區時聽到市民對房屋所表達的重點訴求。
I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate DABs position in urging the Government to achieve the target of maintaining a three - year waiting time for public rental housing PRH and constructing at least 20 000 PRH units per year . This is actually the key demand of the people on housing from what I have heard in the local districts in respect of the Policy Address
主席，無論局長或特首都表示會將"綠置居"恆常化，去處理接下來的置業問題。
President both the Secretary and the Chief Executive mentioned regularizing the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme GSH to tackle home ownership issues
但是，現時"綠置居"的具體詳情，包括定價、禁售年期及回購安排，仍然未有任何詳細資料。
However the details of GSH such as its pricing lock - up period and buy - back arrangement are still not available
我在地區聽到很多市民問，究竟"綠置居"如何處理；政府會如何跟進？
Many members of the public have asked me how the Government will handle GSH
我認為政府有必要盡快公布具體細節。
I believe it is necessary for the Government to announce the specific details as soon as possible
首先，民建聯一直爭取政府為公屋居民提供置業階梯。
First of all DAB has all along been urging the Government to build a housing ladder for PRH residents
因此，我們對"綠置居"恆常化表示支持。
Hence we support the regularization of GSH
因此，我認為"綠置居"發展步伐的快慢應有一個前設，不能夠影響公屋申請人輪候"上樓"的進度。
Therefore I think the prerequisite of GSH development is that it must not affect the progress of housing allocation for waitlisted PRH applicants
主席，我明白"綠置居"與居屋一樣有流轉功能，即是當一個公屋家庭透過綠表身份購買一個"綠置居"單位或居屋單位，房屋署便可以收回該單位再作分配，這便是政府經常說的"一換一"概念，所以從"綠置居"的數字來看，的確不會影響出租單位的數目。
President I understand that GSH same as Home Ownership Scheme HOS can help the circulation of units . This is the one - to - one concept often mentioned by the Government meaning that when a PRH household purchases an GSH or HOS flat through the Green Form the Housing Department will then recover and re - allocate the PRH unit . So judging from the figures GSH indeed will not affect the number of PRH units available
不過，從實際操作而言，如果一個新建的公屋單位不改作"綠置居"，該單位在取得入伙紙後，即時可出租給輪候冊上的家庭。
However at the actual operation level a newly built PRH unit can be rented out to a household on the Waiting List immediately after the occupation permit is issued while under GSH a unit can be rented out only after the original tenant has surrendered the unit
但若要經過"綠置居"的流 轉，便要等原租戶將舊單位交回再出租，雖然輪候家庭依然可以獲編配一個單位，政府說這也算是上到樓，但時間就一定不一樣。
Although households on the Waiting List can still be allocated a unit eventually and the Government considers an allocation done but the time needed is definitely different . Take King Tai Court which was ready for occupation in July as an example
以景泰苑為例我一直積極關注並跟進景泰苑的各項問題7月入伙，到10月底房屋事務委員會上，有議員問及單位回收的情況時，署長還在說"回收程序正在進行中"，支吾以對，因此，我可以估計及推算單位的流轉時間並不會如特首或局長所說需時44天，我估計可能超過半年。
I have been actively following up various issues related to King Tai Court . At a meeting of the Panel on Housing in October some Members enquired about the unit recovery progress to which the Director of Housing prevaricated by saying recovery is in progress . I can then assume that unit turnover will not be only 44 days as expected by the Chief Executive or the Secretary
對行政部門來說，半年算不上是長，因為他們按程序辦事，但對於在負擔高昂租金，隨時被迫遷及居於"劏房"的輪候冊家庭來說，這半年簡直度日如年。
I reckon it will take more than half a year . Half a year is not long for the administration which simply works in accordance with procedures but it does feel awfully long for families on the Waiting List who are paying exorbitant rents can be forced to move out at any time or those who live in subdivided units
主席，有官員提到，雖然回收單位不是新單位，但可能位於市區，位置及配套均比新界區的新單位好。
President some government officials said although the recovered units are not new ones they may be located in the urban areas in which case the location and ancillary facilities may be better than those in the New Territories
景泰苑位於九龍新蒲崗，共售出857個單位，當中九成以上是公屋居民。
A total of 857 units in King Tai Court were sold with over 90 % of them being sold to PRH residents
他們的確分別來自港島、九龍和新界，但比例分別是7%、51%和42%。
They came from Hong Kong Island Kowloon and the New Territories indeed but the ratio was 7 % 51 % and 42 % respectively
我粗略推算，來自市區的買家大約470個，新界大約340個。
According to my rough calculation around 470 buyers came from urban areas while around 340 buyers came from the New Territories
由於景泰苑位處市區，因此，在流轉後，扣去回收的市區單位後，房委會實際上只用了340多個市區單位，換取同等數量的新界回收單位。
As King Tai Court is located in the urban area after deducting the number of recovered urban units the Housing Authority HA actually used some 340 units in urban areas in exchange for the same number of recovered units in the New Territories
換言之，對輪候市區單位的輪候冊家庭來說，他們可選擇的單位其實減少了；從整體公屋單位分布來看，可能會令市區可編配的單位減少。
In other words the number of units available to households waiting for units in the urban areas has actually decreased . From the perspective of overall PRH distribution the number of units available for allocation in the urban areas may be reduced
位置是景泰苑的其中一個賣點，若日後"綠置居"的位置不理想，價錢不理想或轉售安排不清晰，便會出現舊租戶向市區集中，回收單位則向新界擴散的趨勢，這與當局當初說回收單位雖然舊，但位置配套較好的說法確實有出入。
Location is one of the selling points of King Tai Court . If future GSH is not well - located not reasonably priced or without clear resale arrangements the original tenants will tend to concentrate in the urban areas while recovered units will tend to spread out in the New Territories . This situation differs from the Governments claim that recovered units are older but have better location and ancillary facilities
主席，我想提出的另一點是，香港房屋委員會在規劃或興建公屋單位時，是會因應需求決定供應。
President another point that I would like to raise is that HA determines the amount of supply in the light of demand when planning or building PRH
即是說，假如某時段三至四人家庭的申請特別多，它就會盡量修改建築圖則，以供應更多三至四人單位。
That is to say should the number of applications of three - to - four - person households be exceptionally high in a certain period HA will amend the building plans so as to supply more three - to - four - person flats
不過，如果日後新建的單位以出售為主、以"綠置居"為主，圖則又該如何繪畫及根據甚麼標準去繪畫呢？
If newly - built flats are mainly for sale under GSH in the future then how and according to what standard should the building plans be drawn?
由於公屋住戶期望提升居住環境，希望由現時的細單位轉買大單位，我估計這與他們的期望出現很大落差。
Since PRH tenants expect to improve their living environment by moving from their current small units to larger flats purchased by them I suspect that there will be a great discrepancy between their expectation and the reality
第一，由於單位變大，所以每個地盤可以興建的單位會減少，正如我剛才所說，最終回收的單位亦會減少；第二，可編配的單位即使不變，但回收單位可能也會以細單位為主，以致無法配合主流輪候冊家庭的需要，出現單位錯配。
First since flats are larger in size the numbers of flats built on each construction site will be reduced hence as I said the number of units recovered will also decrease . Second even if the number of units available for allocation remains unchanged recovered units will mainly be smaller ones leading to a mismatch between the flat supply and the demand of the majority of households on the Waiting List
不論是回收單位或出租單位出現錯配，也會打亂公屋編配流程，影響輪候家庭"上樓"的步伐。
Any mismatch in recovered units or rental units will upset the PRH allocation process and affect the waiting time of waitlisted applicants
主席，表面上現屆政府把"綠置居"恆常化，只是沿襲上屆"綠置居"先導計劃，但當中有一點很重要的分別，就是上屆政府把"綠置居"視為資助出售房屋，故將"綠置居"單位計入每年平均8,000個資助出售房屋的份額內。
President the regularization of GSH by the current - term Government seems to have inherited the GSH Pilot Scheme of the last - term Government but there is one crucial difference between them and that is GSH was regarded as subsidized sale flats by the last - term Government and was counted towards the 8 000 average annual quota of subsidized sale flats
簡單說，就是"綠置居"不會影響2萬個公屋單位的供應量，只會影響資助出售單位的分配。
Simply put GSH would not affect the supply of 20 000 PRH units but only the quota of subsidized sale flats
再加上"綠置居"的流轉功能，"綠置居"反而會增加可編配的公屋單位數量。
On top of that with its circulation function GSH would increase the number of PRH units available for allocation
因此，我認為整體公屋單位依然供不應求，說到底也是土地不足問題。
In my opinion the inadequate supply of PRH boils down to the land shortage after all
我評估輪候"上樓"的時間將會越來越長，當局應該繼續把"綠置居"單位數量計入資助出售房屋數目，以免影響公屋輪候家庭的情況。
I figure that PRH waiting time will grow increasingly long . The Government should count GSH units towards the number of subsidized sale flats in order to avoid affecting the households on the PRH Waiting List
其實，重推出售公屋確實有數個好處：第一，居民無須"上屋搬下屋，唔見一籮穀"；第二，可令長者無須重新適應新環境。
First residents can save the costs of relocation; second old people do not have to adjust to a new environment
早前我落區時，便有一名居住在慈雲山的陳太告訴我，她說："柯議員，我搬到'綠置居'新蒲崗景泰苑，但人生路不熟，不知道該去哪裏買菜，又不知道該去哪裏乘車"，最後要請雷啟蓮區議員幫忙一番，她才慢慢適應社區。
A Mrs CHAN who lived in Tsz Wan Shan talked to me on my visit to the district Mr OR I have just moved to GSH King Tai Court in San Po Kong where everything is unfamiliar to me . I do not know where to buy food and where to take transport . With the help of District Council member Ms Wendy LUI she could adapt to the community eventually
局長，這情況並不理想；第三，提供公屋單位流入資助市場，亦可增加細價樓的供應。
Secretary this situation is not satisfactory . And third PRH units in the subsidized market can also increase the supply of lower - priced flats
所以，我希望政府思考一下，是否有必要探討重推出售公屋。
Therefore I hope the Government can give consideration to the reintroduction of TPS
媽媽教我重要的事情要說三遍，所以我希望告訴局長、告訴政府：可否重推出售公屋？
My mother taught me that important things should be repeated three times so I have to say this to the Secretary and the Government Can TPS be introduced?
我知道局長稍後會回應，而特首在答問會上亦答覆我，說重推出售公屋有很多技術困難和問題，包括地契內容、管理轉售問題和將來的業權分配問題。
I know the Secretary will give a response later on and the Chief Executive said in the Question and Answer Session that there were many technical difficulties in reintroducing TPS such as the content of the land lease management of resale and future ownership shares
可是，我想告訴特首，她說自己"好打得"、"好多計"、"好創新"，我認為她總有辦法的。
However since the Chief Executive claimed that she is a fighter full of ideas and innovation I believe she will always have a solution
我經常說辦法總比困難多，事在人為，請政府認真研究一下。
I often say there are always more solutions than problems . I hope the Government can study this matter seriously
主席，民建聯亦支持施政報告內，提出協助港人置業的方向。
President DAB also supports the direction suggested in the Policy Address of helping Hong Kong people to buy their own homes
我們一直倡議不同收入水平市民，也擁有置業機會。
We have always advocated that people of different income levels should all have the opportunity to buy their own homes
因此，我們會全力支持"白居二"恆常化，亦歡迎施政報告內提出的"港人首次上車盤"，但我對於施政報告建議利用政府土地興建"上車盤"就有點失望了。
Hence we will render our full support to the regularization of the Interim Scheme of Extending the Home Ownership Scheme Secondary Market to White Form Buyers . We also welcome the Starter Homes Pilot Scheme for Hong Kong Residents proposed in the Policy Address although I was a bit disappointed by the fact that the Policy Address proposed to build Starter Homes on Government land
事實上，民建聯亦曾提出"混合發展"建議，原意是希望利用私人發展商手上龐大的土地儲備，發展私人住宅與資助房屋共存的項目。
In fact DAB has proposed mixed development which aimed at taking advantage of the abundant land reserve of private developers to develop projects comprising both private and subsidized housing
施政報告亦提到，由於公營房屋的土地供應短缺，在不影響現時公營房屋供應的前提下，"上車盤"的土地來源將會是私人發展商擁有，或從政府購買得來的土地，即私人土地。
It was also mentioned in the Policy Address that given the limited land supply for public housing the Government would provide the proposed Starter Homes units only on the premise that the existing supply of public housing would not be affected . The land for Starter Homes will have to come from sites already owned by private developers or to be bought from the Government meaning private sites
可是，港人首次置業先導計劃最後卻選址位於我的選區九龍東下方的觀塘安達臣道住宅用地。
Having said that the site chosen for the pilot scheme is a residential site located in my constituency at Anderson Road Kowloon East
換言之，原本打算利用私人土地興建資助房屋的構想，在真正執行時又變成在政府土地中左撥右撥。
In other words the idea of using private land for building subsidized housing has turned into juggling sites among Government land sites in practice
稍後局長回應時，可能又會說這幅土地屬於政府土地，原本劃作私樓用途，所以並無影響公營房屋土地。
The Secretary may reply later on that this is a piece of Government land originally intended for private residential use so the site selection did not affect the land supply for public housing
不過，當局亦相當清楚，在現時《長遠房屋策略》的10年建屋目標中，公營房屋缺地達4萬多個單位。
However the Secretary should be well aware that we still have a land supply shortfall for some 40 000 public housing units according to the ten - year housing supply target set under LTHS
市民便會問，如果政府真的要把私地轉為公用，基於政策的先後緩急，這些可轉變用途的土地為何不優先填補《長遠房屋策略》目標所欠的公屋或居屋土地呢？
We will then ask this question if the Government converts private land into public use according to policy priorities why would these sites with changeable land use not be used for building PRH or HOS as a matter of priority so as to fulfil the target under LTHS?
而且先導計劃是為了處理可能出現爭議的問題而進行試驗，但是，若以現時政府出地，私人發展商投地興建，與過去的私人參建居屋其實非常接近，但與利用發展商土地儲備為發展資助房屋有相當出入，恐怕未能達到先導計劃試水溫的原意。
Besides the pilot scheme was launched to try handling possible controversies but the current approach of private developers bidding and building on Government land is actually very similar to Private Sector Participation Scheme flats in the past . In contrast the approach is vastly different from developing subsidized housing by using the land reserve owned by developers thus it may fail to achieve the intention of the pilot scheme of testing the water I am afraid
