但是，當升浪結束後，有關股價亦大幅度下滑，這種股價極為波動的情況，令不少散戶投資者損失慘重。
However after this rising wave the share prices concerned will plunge remarkably . Due to such cases of extreme volatility in share prices many retail investors sustain huge losses
更甚的是，有部分"微型股"在上市一段時間之後，經常出現大比例的折讓價供股或配股，頻繁地分拆或合併股份，令持有有關股票的小投資者權益出現巨大虧損，這些股票被稱為"老千股"。
Worse still after some micro caps have been listed on the market for a period of time the companies concerned would often conduct rights issues or placements at a deeply discounted price and there would be very frequent stock splits and share consolidations such that minor investors holding these shares sustain great losses in their rights and interests . These shares are called cheating shares
當然，這些"微型股"和"老千股"只佔聯交所1,953間上市的主板和創業板公司的少數，不過，這些"老千股"的存在，其玩弄財技的手法，的而且確嚴重傷害小投資者的權益，並且對香港股票市場的聲譽和長遠健康發展造成絕不能忽視的損害。
In brief this investor has almost lost all his money . Of course these micro caps and cheating shares only take up a small minority among the 1 953 companies listed on the Main Board and the Growth Enterprise Market of the SEHK . However the existence of these cheating shares and financial shenanigans of these companies will indeed seriously harm the rights and interests of minor investors and will cause damage that cannot be ignored to the reputation and long - term healthy development of the Hong Kong stock market
因此，證券及期貨事務監察委員會和聯交所實在不能放任這類不良股份和活動不理，否則只會縱容市場邪氣當道，損害小投資者的利益。
Therefore the Securities and Futures Commission SFC and SEHK cannot ignore these ill - natured shares and activities otherwise they will only condone a perverse trend in the market which is detrimental to the interests of minor investors
就此，民建聯原則上同意證監會和聯交所共同提出改善上市監管決策和管治架構進行的聯合諮詢方案。
In this regard the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB agrees in principle with the package of proposals in the consultation paper jointly proposed by SFC and SEHK on the enhancements to decision - making and governance structure for listing regulation
雖然有關方案未必可以即時及全面杜絕"老千股"和個別新股上市後由於股權極為集中，在上市後股價大幅波動等損害小投資者利益的問題。不過，有關改革踏出加強監管新股上市，保障小投資者利益的第一步。
Although the package of proposals may not be able to put an end immediately and completely to the problems like price volatility due to high shareholding concentration of cheating shares and individual new shares after being listed which result in causing damages to the interests of minor investors the reform concerned is a step forward in strengthening supervision of listing of new shares for the protection of interests of minor investors
代理主席，這些改革也有助證監會和聯交所可以更快因應市場的變化制訂新的上市政策，推動香港股票市場長遠及健康的發展。
Deputy President these proposals can also facilitate SFC and SEHK to formulate new listing policies flexibly to tie in with market changes so as to promote a long - term and healthy development of the stock market in Hong Kong
最後，我想講述民建聯對張華峰議員提出的原議案，以及涂謹申議員提出修正案的立場。
Finally I would like to talk about the stance of DAB towards the original motion moved by Mr Christopher CHEUNG and the amendment moved by Mr James TO
雖然張華峰議員的原議案措辭，似乎對上市監管架構改革諮詢方案有所保留，但原議案的出發點，是希望釐清上市合適性的定義，以確保香港證券市場健康有序發展的同時，能夠顧及和推動金融創新等整體利益，與民建聯的想法吻合，民建聯會表決支持。
Although the wording of Mr Christopher CHEUNGs original motion seems to have reservations about the package of proposals to the governance structure for listing regulation in the consultation the intention of the original motion is to clarify the definition of suitability for listing in order to ensure a healthy and orderly development of the stock market in Hong Kong while attending to and promoting the overall interest of financial innovation which is in line with DABs thinking and thus DAB will cast our vote of support
至於涂謹申議員的修正案強調加強對內幕交易及披露信息的監管，提高證監會監管工作的透明度，避免出現監管漏洞，更與民建聯的想法一致。
As regards Mr James TOs amendment it emphasizes strengthening regulation of insider dealings and disclosure of information and enhancing the transparency of SFCs regulatory work to pre - empt loopholes in regulation which are even more in line with DABs thinking
至於"確保聯交所在上市審批與市場推廣之間不會存在角色衝突"一點，希望政府和監管當局多加研究，回應市場的意見，適時制訂例如防火牆等相關有效機制。
Concerning to ensure that SEHK has no conflict of roles between vetting and approving listings and marketing I hope that the Government and the regulators can conduct more studies in order to respond to the views of the market and to formulate timely and effective mechanism like firewalls
所以，協助真正的難民是香港作為國際城市應有之義，亦是作為締約國的責任。
Therefore assisting genuine refugees is a rightful responsibility that Hong Kong should take on as an international city and its duty as a State Party
社會上經常有人說，部分聲請人濫用機制，為香港社會帶來種種壓力。
Many people in the community say that some claimants have abused the system therefore creating a heavy burden on Hong Kong society
從各種數字反映，這是事實，但這是否等於我們要把所有酷刑聲請人說成濫用制度、不合資格呢？
As various figures have indicated this is true . However does it mean that we should describe all torture claimants as some unqualified people abusing our system?
事實上，在這群免遣返聲請人當中，如果真的經過檢核、按程序作出調查，而他是一個"假難民"、身份是假的話，政府早已安排把他遞解出境。
In fact among these non - refoulement claimants anyone identified as a bogus refugee with a false identity will be deported right after the screening procedures
所以，他們實質上是一個尚待審核的身份。
So they are indeed someone whose identity is pending screening
如果我們隨便把這些身份尚待審核的人說成是"假難民"的話，其實很明顯是刻意誤導公眾，令社會對這群酷刑聲請人有錯誤或負面標籤。
If we casually describe these people with unverified identity as bogus refugees it is obviously that we intend to mislead the public and create a false or negative label on this group of torture claimants
當然，這對保安局在審核過程期間，會構成很大資源壓力，但這是可以理解的。
Of course this will put heavy strain on the Security Bureaus resources during screening yet this is understandable
然而，在今天的討論裏，很多建制派同事一直指出，問題是這些酷刑聲請人經常"打黑工"或可能作奸犯科。
However in the course of todays discussion many pro - establishment Members have been pointing out that the problem lies in the torture claimants engagement in illegal employment or the possibility that they may commit crimes
如果我們真的決心解決這方面的問題，是否應該向保安局提出，如果這些聲請人在香港申請期間違反香港法例的話，他的申請就可能要終止，甚至要即時遣返。
If they were earnestly trying to solve this problem is it not better for them to raise this to the Security Bureau? . Say any violation of the laws of Hong Kong during their stay will result in termination of their applications or even immediate deportation
正如很多國內來港、違反逗留條件的人士，在犯法及服刑之後就會被即時遞解出境。
As in the case for many people from the Mainland who have breached the conditions of stay they will be immediately deported after they are released from imprisonment for their offences
這種做法是否更合理，不會令到公眾或社會覺得我們是"一竹篙打一船人"呢？
Is this practice more reasonable? . It will not create an image among the public or society that we are labelling them indiscriminately
另一方面，難民現時在審核期間，獲得的食物津貼只有1,200元，還有實報實銷的房屋津貼1,500元，低於現時綜援計劃所提供的基本生活津貼金額。
On the other hand refugees merely receive 1,200 dollars for food each month when their claims are pending and an accountable rent allowance of 1,500 dollars each month lower than the standard rates under the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance Scheme
我們可否用這種方法，令他們得以維持最基本生活？
Can we fulfil their basic needs in this way?
然而，整體來說，我們仍然要滿足香港作為締約國應有的國際責任，亦要滿足終審法院對審核過程的規格及要求。
However generally speaking we still have to undertake Hong Kongs responsibility internationally as a State Party as well as to fulfil the standards and requirements set by the Court of Final Appeal on assessment procedures
此外，我們亦要配置足夠的資源應對，從而加快審核過程。
Moreover we also have to deploy sufficient resources to address the issue so as to expedite the screening process
這才能夠真正解決問題，而非走到另一個方向，把所有來港人士關閉在禁閉營。這種做法其實是"一竹篙打一船人"，是一種不公道的做法。
This is the only real solution but not the other direction to lock every new comers in holding centres which is in fact unfair as it attaches a derogatory label on everyone
我希望保安局可以首先從這個角度，想想能否對症下藥，令到酷刑聲請人本身能得到公平對待，最低限度不被標籤為作奸犯科的一群，而這種標籤亦會影響在香港生活的少數族裔人士。
I wish the Security Bureau can start from this perspective and explore the way to address the root causes in order to ensure a fair treatment to torture claimants . At lease they should not be stigmatized as criminals . Such a label will also affect the ethnic minorities living in Hong Kong
因此，我覺得政府有責任，必須正視相關的問題。
Therefore I believe the Government has the responsibility to seriously deal with these problems
代理主席，周浩鼎議員提出"打擊'假難民'"議案辯論，讓我們有時間一起討論如何解決這個難民問題。
Deputy President Mr Holden CHOW proposes the motion debate on Combating bogus refugees and this allows us to discuss the solutions for this refugee problem
代理主席，"假難民"問題已困擾香港多年，對香港治安，甚至是市民對政府的信任度，均構成巨大壓力。
Deputy President the bogus refugees issue has been haunting Hong Kong for many years . It has also posed tremendous pressure on Hong Kongs law and order or even public trust in the Government
從政府提供最新的文件資料顯示，在已處理的5,648宗免遣返聲請個案中，只有43宗確立，連1%都沒有。
The latest Government papers show that of 5 648 cases of non - refoulement claims only 43 are confirmed which is less than 1 %
免遣返聲請程序已被濫用，成為偷渡者長期逗留香港的工具。
The process of non - refoulement claims has been abused and used as an instrument for illegal entrants to seek a prolonged stay in Hong Kong
代理主席，其中一個熱門的偷渡方法，是難民以內地作為中轉站再偷渡來港。
Deputy President one of the popular ways for illegal entrants to smuggle themselves into Hong Kong is to use the Mainland as a midway point before sneaking into Hong Kong
我曾乘船前往香港西部的偷渡黑點后海灣實地視察，兩地距離不遠，本地養蠔戶也表示"人蛇"順水流游來香港，只需10多分鐘而已。
I used to take a boat to the smuggling black spot in Deep Bay for the purpose of a site inspection . The two places are not that far apart . Some local oyster farmers told me that illegal entrants would swim to Hong Kong with the current and that would only take a little more than 10 minutes
故此，在"人蛇"進入香港前，於內地進行堵截是一個正確的方向。
Therefore it will be a correct direction to intercept illegal entrants on Mainland before they can smuggle themselves into Hong Kong
我留意到，自從年初內地廣東、廣西、雲南、新疆等地的公安邊防、出入境、刑偵、反恐等部門，聯合香港警方進行打擊粵港邊境偷渡的行動後，本港截獲"人蛇"的數字有所下降，證明中港兩地聯合執法有效。
I note that after the commencement of the joint anti - illegal immigration operations among border security units immigration units criminal investigation units anti - terrorism units of Guangdong Guangxi Yunnan Xinjiang and the Hong Kong Police Force at the beginning of this year the number of illegal entrants intercepted by Hong Kong has declined . It shows that the joint enforcement operations between China and Hong Kong are effective
隨着涉及難民的暴力事件不斷發生，多個歐洲國家亦宣布收緊難民措施，非法入境者在中國同樣造成社會及治安問題。
In the wake of the continual occurrence of incidents involving the use of violence by refugees a number of European countries have tightened their refugee policies . Illegal entrants have also caused social as well as law and order issues in China
內地公安部門亦指出，"人蛇"在內地當"黑工"，同時也引發盜竊、搶劫、販毒等違法行為，擾亂內地社會經濟秩序及粵港兩地社會治安，內地部門對"蛇頭"或其協助者嚴懲不貸。
Mainland security authorities also point out the fact that illegal entrants engaging in illegal work have also committed in crimes such as burglary robbery drug trafficking and so on . They have disrupted economic order on the Mainland as well as the social order in Guangdong and Hong Kong
今年7月，內地10多名被控"組織他人偷越邊境罪"的人士，分別被判處3年至10年不等有期徒刑。
Mainland authorities would mete out strict punishment to snakeheads or their collaborators . In July this year a dozen of people on the Mainland charged for committing the offence of organizing others to cross the boundary stealthily have been sentenced to prison term of three to ten years
在香港，政府今年亦進行大幅修例，提高"蛇頭"偷運"人蛇"入境的罰則至最高監禁14年及罰款500萬元。
In Hong Kong the Government has amended the relevant law substantially by increasing the penalty for the smuggling of illegal entrants by snakeheads to the prison term of 14 years and a fine of 5 million
但是，在今年7月至10月，兩宗"蛇頭"偷運"人蛇"的案件，卻分別判處入獄40個月及42個月。
Nevertheless from July to October this year two snakeheads who have smuggled illegal entrants into Hong Kong were sentenced to a prison term of 40 months and 42 months respectively
判刑與法例的最高刑罰有極大差距，對於經營偷運"人蛇"集團以獲取暴利的罪犯缺乏阻嚇力。
There was a big disparity between the sentences and the maximum penalty imposed by the relevant legislation as the maximum penalty lacked the deterrent effect against criminals who operated human - smuggling syndicates for extortionate profits
兩宗個案的法官都曾指出，希望控方能提供更多資料供法律參考作為量刑考慮，意指"蛇頭"被輕判與律政司未有提供充分資料有關。
The two judges of the above cases pointed out that they hoped the prosecution side could provide more information for legal reference and consideration by the Court before the court could mete out sentences . This impliedly means that lenient sentences imposed on snakeheads have something to do with the insufficient information provided by the Department of Justice
所以，我希望政府能夠回應這方面是否做得不足夠？
Therefore will the Government respond whether or not there are inadequacies in this area?
代理主席，我曾提出設立收容中心管理提出聲請的人士。
Deputy President I have proposed the setting up of a holding centre for the management of non - refoulement claimants
收容中心的形式，可以在開放時間方面作出限制。
As to the mode of the holding centre we may impose limits on the hours of operation of the holding centre
這不但可以為他們提供居所，亦便於政府了解他們的去向，甚至方便提供人道援助。
That will not only provide shelters for the claimants but also help the Government to know their whereabouts or even facilitate the provision of humanitarian aids
我認為真正的難民不會抗拒設立收容中心。
I think genuine refugees will not resist the establishment of the holding centre
我聽到不少同事曾提及這些人士在香港的生活及衣食住行方面如何困難張超雄議員及姚松炎議員均提及他們的難處收容中心可解決他們的居住問題，甚至連帶食物援助亦可統一派發，減省行政工作之餘，相信對加快處理免遣返聲請的個案亦有幫助，這亦可以減少"假難民"問題對社區造成的影響。
I heard that many colleagues have mentioned the difficulties related to different aspects of the claimants daily living in Hong Kong Dr Fernando CHEUNG and Dr YIU Chung - yim has mentioned such difficulties . However the holding centre can address their housing problem . It may even help the Government to provide food assistance in a uniform way
元朗及屯門是免遣返聲請人士的熱門聚居地，特別是鄉郊地區，人們會看到一批聲稱是難民，無所事事的人在村口流連。
This will also help to alleviate the impact of the bogus refugees issue on the community . Yuen Long and Tuen Mun are the popular habitats for these claimants . In particular we can see groups of alleged refugees who have nothing to do and hanging around at the entrance of villages in rural areas
村民敢怒而不敢言，甚至在某些地方自資裝設閉路電視，幫助本村村民，維護安全。
Villagers dared not voice their anger . In some villages villagers will install closed - circuit televisions at their own expenses in order to protect themselves for safety reasons
村民認為香港政府對"假難民"軟弱，要求政府盡快停收及送走這些"假難民"。
Villagers considered that the Government was too soft to deal with these bogus refugees . They required the Government to stop receiving these bogus refugees and repatriate them as soon as practicable
主席，我們在周末早上經常會看見不少家長帶同小孩到街上賣旗，因為我們希望香港的下一代能夠學懂如何關懷社會和關心別人。
President we often see parents accompanying their children on weekend mornings to sell flags for charities on the street . We want our next generation to learn how to care for society and other people
我們希望看見香港繼續是一個容易謀生的地方，也是一個仁愛的社會。
Apart from being a place where one can easily make a living we also want Hong Kong to be a place of compassion
香港在多年前已經有幫助外地難民的歷史，在1970年代至1990年代，香港在英國的決定下成為"第一收容港"，收容了數以十萬計的越南船民。
Hong Kong has had a history of helping refugees coming from other places since many years ago . From the 1970s to the 1990s Hong Kong was declared the port of first asylum by the British Government and received hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese boat people
坦白說，聯合國難民署至今仍欠香港接近10億元未歸還。
Frankly to date the United Nations Refugee Agency still owes the Hong Kong Government almost 1 billion
所以，在情在理，我們義不容辭。
So it is both reasonable and justifiable that we offer help
可是，事實上，現時有一些外籍人士濫用難民的身份，透過現時寬鬆的制度來香港賺錢，甚至帶來嚴重的社會問題。
But as a matter of fact some people of other nationalities are now taking advantage of their refugee status to abuse the lax screening mechanism in Hong Kong to make money here and they create serious social problems
試問我們是否應該繼續做一個"仁陷於愚"的好人，好像"中山狼傳"中的東郭先生一樣，不理兇險，好心救豺狼，最後豺狼恩將仇報差點吃了他？
Should we continue to be a kind but stupid person? . Should we act like Mr Dongguo in Zhongshan Lang Zhuan who kind - heartedly saved the cunning wolf but almost ended up being eaten by it?
我們希望大家弄清楚，今天周浩鼎議員提出的議案針對的是"假難民"，因為"假難民"來港的真正目的並非逃避酷刑，而是賺錢，他們對香港社會造成各種問題，包括黑市勞工，有些人甚至受聘於黑社會，從事非法勾當。
We hope that Members are clear about one thing . The motion moved by Mr Holden CHOW today focuses on bogus refugees because they come to Hong Kong not to escape torture treatment but to make money . They have created different social problems in Hong Kong such as engaging in illegal employment and even working for triad societies to perform illegal activities
從現時的資料得知，甚至有部分"假難民"是有組織地偷渡，又或經正常途徑來港然後逾期居留，甚至在被入境事務處拘捕時，便立即提出酷刑聲請，在取得"行街紙"後便留在香港做"黑工"。
According to available information some bogus refugees illegally entered Hong Kong in an organized manner; and some entered Hong Kong through legitimate channels but overstayed in the territory and some even lodged torture claims immediately after being arrested by Immigration officers . They stayed in Hong Kong working as illegal workers when they received a going - out pass
我們亦看到傳媒揭露，大部分協助這些難民申請酷刑聲請的個案只是由某幾間律師行經手，實在不得不令人相信，有一些法律界的害群之馬有組織地幫助某些國家的人士來港做難民聲請，從中收取手續費，達致互惠互利。
As discovered by the news media most of the torture claimants are represented by certain law firms . We cannot help but suspect that some black sheep in the legal sector are assisting foreigners to come here in an organized manner and then lodge non - refoulement claims and in return the firms receive service fees from them for mutual benefits
試問出現這些情況和漏洞，香港人還要繼續忍受下去嗎？
How much longer do Hong Kong people have to put up with this situation and loophole?
主席，今天有數位議員提出的修正案，我不敢苟同。
President I cannot agree with the amendments proposed by several Members today
首先，毛孟靜議員的修正案將"假難民"的問題重點放在內地的偷渡問題，以及內地出入境部門的管理問題上，實在有扭曲事實之嫌。
First of all Ms Claudia MOs amendment puts the focus on illegal entrants from the Mainland and the border control problem of the exit and entry control departments in the Mainland . In fact her amendment has distorted the truth
作為議員，我們有責任找出導致問題的原因，然後對症下藥，而非一粒藥丸走天涯，內服外用都是它。
As Members we are duty - bound to find out the cause to a problem and then administer the right remedy
毛孟靜議員和涂謹申議員一樣，認為難民滯港的原因是審核機制太過冗長，又或負責處理的人員沒有足夠和適切的專業培訓所致。
Ms Claudia MO and Mr James TO both think that the protracted screening mechanism and a lack of adequate and appropriate professional training for officers processing non - refoulement claims are the cause to refugees being stranded in Hong Kong
我們認為兩位議員的說法對入境處前線員工實在不公平，漠視政府前線人員為了識別真正酷刑聲請人士所付出的努力。
In our opinion the two Members remarks are very unfair to frontline Immigration officers and have disregarded the efforts the frontline Immigration officers have made in finding the genuine torture claimants
我剛才聽到張超雄議員發言，他舉出巴基斯坦女孩馬拉拉的例子，指出她現時應該在英國獲得庇護，引證世界上有真正難民。
Just now I heard Dr Fernando CHEUNG cite the example of Malala YOUSAFZAI a Pakistani girl who has been granted asylum in the United Kingdom . She herself is a proof that there are genuine refugees in the world
我相 信這一點不會有人不同意，如果馬拉拉來港尋求酷刑聲請，我相信她也必定符合難民的申請資格，香港人也會毫不猶豫地給予幫助。
I believe no one will disagree with this point . If Malala came to Hong Kong to lodge a torture claim I believe she would meet the application requirements of a refugee and Hong Kong people will offer help without hesitation
可惜，現時我們看到的是，大部分滯港的難民都不是如馬拉拉般的真難民，而是濫用聲請的"假難民"。
Regrettably the present situation we now see is that most of the refugees stranded in Hong Kong are not genuine refugees like Malala . They are bogus refugees that abuse the mechanism for non - refoulement claims
要記住，我們從來不否認香港有真難民，但張超雄議員所舉的馬拉拉例子，其實與香港現時出現的"假難民"問題根本上沒有任何關係，實在不應混為一談。
Please bear in mind that we have never denied there are genuine refugees in Hong Kong . But the example of Malala cited by Dr Fernando CHEUNG is actually not in any way related to the present problem of bogus refugees in Hong Kong . The two issues should not be mixed up
我不會完全排除有真難民如張議員所說般，因為財困才做"黑工"，但張議員亦不應以偏概全，以此掩蓋"假難民"濫用香港現行制度的漏洞來港賺錢甚至犯案的事實。
I do not rule out the possibility that some genuine refugees are forced to engage in illegal employment due to financial difficulties as Dr Fernando CHEUNG has claimed . But Dr CHEUNG should not take a part for the whole and use this to conceal the fact that bogus refugees are abusing the loophole in the present mechanism to come here to make money or even commit crimes
主席，我們要幫助真難民，但我們不能掩耳盜鈴，任由"假難民"的情況在香港繼續下去。
President we need to help the genuine refugees . Let us not deceive ourselves and allow the problem of bogus refugees to persist any longer in Hong Kong
主席，在我發言之前，首先要作出申報，我曾經以大律師身份參與當值律師服務計劃，處理免遣返聲請的個案。
President before I speak I would like to declare that I once dealt with non - refoulement claims when participating in the Duty Lawyer Scheme DLS as a barrister
主席，根據香港入境事務處的資料，在今年首10個月，入境處共接獲3,481宗免遣返聲請；而統一審核機制自2014年3月實施至今年10月底，尚待入境處審核的聲請已經累積超過10,600宗。
President according to the information provided by the Immigration Department of Hong Kong the Department received 3 481 non - refoulement claims in the first 10 months of this year . And from the inauguration of the unified screening mechanism in March 2014 to late October this year more than 10 600 claims were pending screening by the Department
按入境處新定目標，如果每年可以處理5,000宗以上聲請，最快也要兩年才能完成處理現時過萬宗積壓個案，還未計算平均每月有大約400多宗新聲請。
Given the Departments new target of processing more than 5 000 claims annually and disregarding the average monthly addition of 400 odds new claims it will take at least two years to fully handle the 10 000 - plus outstanding claims
部分市民擔心，免遣返聲請數目持續高企，已經為香港帶來不少問題，包括社會、勞工和歧視等。
Some Hong Kong people are worried that the persistently large number of non - refoulement claims have produced many effects on Hong Kong such as social labour and discrimination problems
如果情況持續，將會對香港造成深遠的影響。
If the situation persists Hong Kong will sustain deep and far - reaching impacts
如果有外國人聲稱被遣返原居國家便會遭受酷刑、不人道對待，以及迫害，特區政府便不可以強行將他們遣返。
The SAR Government cannot repatriate a foreigner who claims that if he is sent back to his original country of abode he will be subjected to torture inhuman treatment and persecution
隨着終審法院在2012年12月對Ubamaka案，以及2013年3月對C等人案作出裁決，政府也在2014年3月3日起實施統一審核機制，由入境處一併處理主要以酷刑、不人道和迫害3種理由提出的免遣返聲請。
Following the handing down of judgments by the Court of Final Appeal in the Ubamaka case in December 2012 and in the C Ors case in March 2013 the Government started to implement the unified screening mechanism on 3 March 2014 whereby the Immigration Department will screen non - refoulement claims made on the three grounds of torture inhuman treatment and persecution
同時，政府已明確表示，根據所有適用理由而提出的免遣返聲請也會按統一審核機制，一次過審核。
Meanwhile the Government has clearly stated that non - refoulement claims made on all applicable grounds will be processed in one go under the unified screening mechanism
但是，在這個統一審核機制實施兩年間，不少律師覺得所有適用理由的涵義十分模糊。
Two years into the implementation of the unified screening mechanism many lawyers have found the meaning of applicable grounds considerably ambiguous
針對免遣返聲請及其造成的潛在問題，我在今年4月聯同新民黨葉劉淑儀議員、田北辰議員、多名區議員和在港的印度商人約見保安局局長黎棟國，反映我們的意見和建議。
With regard to non - refoulement claims and the potential problems they generate I met with Secretary for Security Mr LAI Tung - kwok in April this year together with Mrs Regina IP and Mr Michael TIEN of the New Peoples Party as well as a number of District Council members and local Indian businessmen to convey our comments and suggestions
而我今天提出修正案的主要目的，是促請政府全面檢討和優化統一審核機制，包括研究規定免遣返聲請人士須在抵港後的指定時間內提出聲請，增加律師和傳譯員數目，以及引入電視直播聯繫及電話中心等資訊及通訊科技，以加快處理現時積壓的大量聲請個案；同時，也希望政府全面檢視公費法律支援的制度、研究設立收容中心、妥善安置和管理提出免遣返聲請的人士，並檢視為申請人提供的援助機制。
The major objective of the amendment that I put forward today is to urge the Government to comprehensively review and enhance the unified screening mechanism including exploring the imposition of a requirement that non - refoulement claimants must lodge claims within a specified time frame upon arriving in Hong Kong increasing the number of lawyers and interpreters and introducing information and communication technology such as live television link and call centres so as to expedite the processing of the large numbers of outstanding claims at present . Meanwhile it is also hoped that the Government will comprehensively review the publicly - funded legal assistance system explore the setting up of holding centres to properly settle and manage non - refoulement claimants and review the assistance mechanism provided to the claimants
其實，新民黨早前已向保安局提出，希望政府考慮在香港偏遠地方設立禁閉營，在合理時間內安置來港聲請的人士。
Actually the New Peoples Party has earlier advised the Security Bureau to consider setting up a closed camp in the remote area of the territory to accommodate incoming claimants under a reasonable time frame
此舉既可提高阻嚇性，也可減低偷渡來港的誘因。
This move can increase the deterrence effect and reduce the incentive to enter Hong Kong illegally
