事實上，運輸署在2017年5月及12月就具體方案諮詢的士及公共小巴業界時，業界均表示支持有關建議，並認為司機證的有效期應與駕駛執照和護照等重要證明文件的有效期看齊，應訂為10年。
In fact when the Transport Department TD consulted the taxi and PLB trades on the specific proposal in May and December 2017 both the trades expressed support for the proposal and opined that the validity period of driver identity plates should be aligned with that of important identification documents such as driving licences and passports; that is it should be set at 10 years
至於新款司機證的耐用程度方面，運輸署已審視製作司機證的物料、參考現時政府編印駕駛執照的規格，以及諮詢政府物流服務署對法例修訂後的新款司機證所選用物料的意見。
As regards the durability of the new driver identity plates TD has reviewed the materials for producing driver identity plates made reference to the existing specifications of driving licences printed by the Government and consulted the Government Logistics Department on the materials to be selected for producing the new driver identity plates subsequent to the legislative amendments
為提升耐用性，政府會為承辦商提供較厚及較耐用的紙張以製作司機證，亦會要求承辦商採用質素較佳的印墨及過膠物料，以增加對司機證所用紙張的保護及減低褪色的機會。
To enhance the durability of the plates the Government will provide the authorized agents with thicker and more durable paper for producing the plates and require the authorized agents to use better ink and lamination materials so as to increase the protection of the paper used for the plates and reduce the chance of colour fading
此外，正如本局及運輸署代表在法案委員會上所承諾，我們會於司機證新規格實施後3年檢視司機證的情況。
In addition as undertaken by the representatives of our Bureau and TD at the Bills Committee meeting we will review the situation of the driver identity plates in three years time after the implementation of the new specifications
如發現司機證整體的印製質素未如理想或證上資料褪色情況嚴重，運輸署署長屆時可藉憲報公告方式指明的士司機證和公共小巴司機證的新設計，要求司機更換新證。
If it is found that the overall production quality of the plates is unsatisfactory or the problem of fading of the information on the plates is serious the Commissioner for Transport may then specify by notice in the Gazette a new design for taxi and PLB driver identity plates and require the drivers to renew the plates
此舉可使司機在司機證10年有效期屆滿前換證，確保司機證上的資訊清晰易見，便利乘客確認司機身份及提升專業形象。
This will cause the drivers to renew the plates before the expiry of the 10 - year validity period to ensure that the information on the plates is clearly and easily visible so as to facilitate passengers easy identification of the drivers and enhance their professional image
至於收費方面，司機證是由運輸署認可的承辦商製作。部分承辦商是的士及公共小巴團體，這些團體通常向會員收取低於一般市場價格的優惠收費。
As for the fees charged for driver identity plates which are produced by TDs authorized agents some of the agents are taxi and PLB associations and they usually charge their members concessionary fees which are lower than the general market price
由於運輸署會就司機證的新設計重新授權製作承辦商，因此會要求製作承辦商提供服務詳情，包括擬就每張司機證收取的費用。
As TD will grant authorization to the production agents afresh in respect of the new design of the driver identity plates TD will ask the production agents to provide the details of their service including the fee to be charged for each driver identity plate
如運輸署發現製作承辦商擬收取不合理的費用，便不會授權 該等製作承辦商。
If TD finds that the fee to be charged by a production agent is unreasonable no authorization will be granted to the production agent
此舉應可確保司機證收費不會因是次法例修訂而無理增加。
This should be able to ensure that the fees charged for driver identity plates will not increase unreasonably due to the current legislative amendments
為方便司機知悉司機證的收費，運輸署會繼續在其網頁列明各認可承辦商收取的費用。
To facilitate the drivers awareness of the fees charged for driver identity plates TD will continue to list on its web page the fees charged by various authorized agents
此外，我們備悉議員對提升的士服務質素的意見。
Besides we note Members opinions on enhancing taxi service quality
就這方面，運輸署在2018年年初改組並成立的士服務質素委員會，作為多方平台，討論各項推動改革的策略及措施，包括更新一系列的士司機服務標準及指引、為加強阻嚇作用而檢視現行各種的士違規行為的罰則、為提升的士司機的顧客服務技巧而強化相關培訓課程、制訂利用科技改善的士服務營運效率和質素的措施等，以期提升現有的士的服務質素。
In this connection TD carried out a revamp and established the Committee on Taxi Service Quality in early 2018 . The Committee serves as a multi - party platform to discuss strategies and measures to drive changes which include updating the set of service standards and guidelines for taxi drivers reviewing the existing sanctions for various taxi malpractices to increase the deterrent effect enhancing training courses for taxi drivers to improve their customer service skills and introducing measures to improve the operational efficiency and quality of taxi services through the use of technology with a view to enhancing the service quality of existing taxis
我們亦會就這方面在7月諮詢立法會交通事務委員會，歡迎議員屆時提出意見。
We will also consult the Legislative Council Panel on Transport on this issue in July and Members are welcome to express their views on that occasion
代理主席，為便利的士及公共小巴業界的經營，我懇請議員支持通過《條例草案》。
Deputy President for the sake of facilitating the operation of the taxi and PLB trades I implore Members to support the passage of the Bill
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：《2018年道路交通條例草案》，予以二讀。
I now put the question to you and that is That the Road Traffic Amendment Bill 2018 be read the Second time
代理主席，正如我剛才就恢復二讀辯論發言時表示，政府知道有部分議員對制訂10年司機證有效期的建議表示關注。
Deputy Chairman as I said upon resumption of the Second Reading debate just now the Government is aware that some Members have expressed concern over the proposal for a 10 - year validity period of driver identity plates
擬議修正案從政策角度而言並無必要，有關議題亦已於法案委員會作詳細討論。
From a policy perspective the proposed amendment is indeed not necessary; and the question concerned has been discussed in detail at the Bills Committee
請容許我在這裏再次解釋政府的立場，好讓各位議員釋懷。
Please allow me to hereby expound on the Governments stance again in order to reassure fellow Members
在制訂的士及公共小巴司機證有效期為10年的建議時，政府已充分考慮的士及公共小巴業界的意見。
When formulating the proposal concerning the 10 - year validity period for taxi and public light bus PLB driver identity plates the Government has fully considered the views from the taxi and PLB trades
多年來，業界均表示司機證應有較長的有效期，而且應與其他證明文件的一般有效期看齊。
For many years the trades have indicated that the validity period of driver identity plates should be lengthened and aligned with the validity period commonly applicable to other identification documents
當政府就具體方案諮詢的士及公共小巴業界時，業界對訂明司機證有效期為10年的建議表示支持。
When the Government consulted the taxi and PLB trades on the specific proposal the trades have expressed support for the proposal of specifying 10 years as the validity period for driver identity plates
當然，剛才易志明議員亦有提及喜出望外，但我們做事從來是以公眾利益和扶持業界發展為目的。
Of course Mr Frankie YICK also mentioned just now that the trades had been pleasantly surprised . However our work objectives have always been upholding public interests and supporting the development of the trades
業界指出司機均屬成年人，其容貌在10年間不會有太大變化，當然在一些例外的情況，可能出現我們想象不到的情形。
The trades have pointed out that drivers are all adults whose appearance would not change significantly in 10 years time . Of course there should be some exceptional cases where something inconceivable might happen
但是，整體而言，一些重要的 證明文件的有效期，其實都是以10年為基準。
However on the whole the validity period of some important identification documents such as travel documents and relevant identity cards has all been set based on the 10 - year benchmark
此外，因應建議較長的有效期，政府一直有注意到司機證耐用程度的重要性。
In addition with regard to the proposal for a longer validity period the Government has been paying attention to the importance of the durability of driver identity plates
經參考駕駛執照的現行規格及諮詢政府物流服務署，運輸署將選用更為耐用的物料製作司機證，以增加對司機證的保護及減低褪色的機會。
After making reference to the existing specifications of driving licences and consulting the Government Logistics Department the Transport Department TD will select more durable materials for producing driver identity plates to enhance protection of the plates and reduce the chance of colour fading
在審批司機證製作承辦商的申請時，運輸署會進行質素檢查，以確保司機證的格式符合新規格要求，而所用物料亦須符合持久耐用的原則。
In vetting and approving the applications of driver identity plate production agents TD will conduct quality check to ensure that driver identity plates comply with the new specifications; and the materials used must conform to the principles of sustainability and durability
最重要的是，正如我剛才就恢復二讀辯論發言時表示，政府在法案委員會會議上已承諾，政府會於司機證新規格實施後3年檢視司機證的印製質素。
Most importantly as I said upon resumption of the Second Reading debate just now the Government has undertaken at the meeting of the Bills Committee that it would review the printing quality of driver identity plates three years after the introduction of new specifications
如經檢視後發現大部分司機證的印製質素未如理想或證上資料褪色情況嚴重，運輸署署長屆時可藉憲報公告方式指明的士司機證和公共小巴司機證的新設計，以要求司機於10年有效期屆滿前更換司機證。
If the review finds that the printing quality of most driver identity plates is unsatisfactory or the information thereon have seriously faded the Commissioner for Transport may then specify by notice in the Gazette a new design for the taxi and PLB driver identity plates so as to require drivers to renew their plates even before the 10 - year expiry
此舉能確保司機證上的資料清晰易見，便利乘客確認司機身份及提升司機的專業形象。
This will ensure that the information on the driver identity plates is clearly and easily visible thereby enabling passengers to identify drivers easily and enhancing the professional image of drivers
剛才易議員也提及對未來司機證電子化的建議，政府同意可以透過科技提升的士服務質素。
Mr YICK also mentioned the proposal to introduce electronic driver identity plates in the future just now . The Government has agreed that taxi service quality can be raised by technological means
運輸署轄下的士服務質素委員會亦正就利用科技提升的士服務質素進行探討。
The Committee on Taxi Service Quality under TD is also conducting a review on using technology to enhance taxi service quality
如果有關建議獲業界和市民支持，我們日後可以繼續跟進。
If the proposal is supported by the trade and the public we can continue to follow up in future
法案委員會亦備悉政府的立場，並認為建議的檢視安排恰當，可回應委員就有效期年期的關注。
Having taken note of the Governments stance the Bills Committee has considered the proposed review arrangement to be appropriate on the grounds that the concerns of Bills Committee members over the validity period can be addressed
我們理解部分議員剛才表達的擔心，但相信法案委員會主席易議員和我早前提及政府所採取的措施，足以處理相關情況。
While we understand the concerns expressed by some Members just now we believe that the measures taken by the Government earlier mentioned by Bills Committee Chairman Mr YICK and I are adequate to deal with the relevant situation
因此，擬議修正案並無必要，我懇請各位在席委員反對有關修正案。
As such the proposed amendment is not necessary . I implore Members who are present to oppose the amendment
林卓廷議員，你是否想再次發言？
Mr LAM Cheuk - ting do you wish to speak again?
主席，政府一向重視鐵路服務作為香港公共運輸的骨幹。
President the Government has all along attached importance to railway service as the backbone of Hong Kongs public transport system
全長17公里的沙田至中環線是一個全港策略性的鐵路項目，由兩條路段組成，分別是大圍至紅磡段和紅磡至金鐘段。
The Shatin to Central Link SCL with a total length of 17 kms consists of two sections namely Tai Wai to Hung Hom Section and Hung Hom to Admiralty Section
大圍至紅磡段是馬鞍山線由大圍伸展至紅磡的延線，途經東南九龍，並於紅磡連接西鐵；而紅磡至金鐘段是東鐵線由紅磡橫越維多利亞港伸展至灣仔北部和金鐘的延線。
Tai Wai to Hung Hom Section is the extension of Ma On Shan Line from Tai Wai via Southeast Kowloon to Hung Hom where it will join West Rail Line; and Hung Hom to Admiralty Section is an extension of the existing East Rail Line from Hung Hom across the Victoria Harbour to Wan Chai North and Admiralty
沙中線設有10個車站，除改善現有的大圍站外，亦會於顯徑、鑽石山、啟德、宋皇臺、土瓜灣、何文田、紅磡、會展和金鐘建造新站或擴建現有車站，其中金鐘站和何文田站會成為綜合車站，分別為沙中線和南港島線，以及沙中線和觀塘線延線的乘客提供轉乘服務。
SCL will have 10 stations . Apart from bringing improvements to the existing Tai Wai Station the SCL project will involve construction of new stations or extension of existing stations at Hin Keng Diamond Hill Kai Tak Sung Wong Toi To Kwa Wan Ho Man Tin Hung Hom Exhibition Centre and Admiralty . Among them Admiralty Station and Ho Man Tin Station will become integrated stations providing interchange service to passengers of SCL and the South Island Line East and passengers of SCL and Kwun Tong Line Extension respectively
2008年，路政署委聘勞氏鐵路亞洲有限公司作為顧問，就政府當時計劃委託香港鐵路有限公司承造高鐵香港段工程，建議適當的項目管理安排。
In 2008 the Highways Department HyD commissioned a consultant Lloyds Register Rail Asia Limited Lloyds to review and develop the appropriate institutional arrangements for entrusting the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL to implement the project of the Hong Kong Section of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL
鑒於港鐵公司過去數十年在香港興建鐵路均有良好往績，項目管理制度健全，勞氏當時向路政署建議，就高鐵香港段項目的設計和建造採用"監察和核證"的模式，以"核實監 督者"的角色監察作為"項目管理者"的港鐵公司，並同時聘請有鐵路經驗的專業顧問，進行監察和核實的工作。
In view of the good reputation of MTRCL in railway construction in Hong Kong over the decades and its healthy project management system the consultant recommended at the time to HyD that the Government may adopt the Monitoring and Verification role in the design and construction of XRL the Check the Checker role to monitor the project manager MTRCL and engage its own professional consultants with railway experience to conduct monitoring and verification work
具體來說，是按照工程的風險評估，抽樣覆核港鐵公司在實施工程時進行的主要程序是否符合與政府簽訂的委託協議下的責任。
Specifically this would use a risk - based sampling approach to verify compliance of the obligations regarding the major procedures of works under the Entrustment Agreement signed with the Government
勞氏認為這種安排可以更有效運用政府的資源，同時可避免與港鐵公司的項目管理責任重疊。
Lloyds also advised that the Governments resources could be utilized more effectively under the arrangement and it would avoid overlapping in project management obligations with MTRCL
考慮到沙中線與高鐵同樣以"服務經營權"模式推展，路政署亦採用勞氏的建議，以"核實監督者"的方式監察和核證港鐵公司推展沙中線項目的工作。
Considering that both projects of SCL and XRL are implemented under the concession approach HyD adopted Lloyds recommendation that the Government will perform the Check the Checker role to monitor and verify MTRCL in carrying out the works of SCL
港鐵公司受政府委託，進行沙中線工程的設計、建造和試運行。
MTRCL is entrusted by the Government to design construction and commissioning of the SCL works
根據港鐵公司與政府簽訂的委託協議，港鐵公司須確保這些委託工作能達至一個專業而在合理的期望下應所具備的技能和監督水平，包括須確保工程質量達到要求的標準。
According to the Entrustment Agreement signed between MTRCL and the Government MTRCL warrants that the Entrustment Activities shall be carried out with the skill and care reasonably to be expected of a professional including the assurance of quality of works up to the standards required
港鐵公司負責全面管理沙中線項目的設計及建造，而路政署一直根據3層監察制度的框架，全力監督港鐵公司的工作。
While MTRCL is responsible for the overall management of the design and construction of the SCL project HyD has been closely overseeing the work of MTRCL under a three - tiered monitoring mechanism
首先，路政署署長領導的項目監管委員會每月與港鐵公司的工程總監檢討沙中線項目進度，並對相關採購活動、招標後的成本控制和有關合約申索的調解進行監察。
In the first tier the Project Supervision Committee led by the Director of Highways holds monthly meetings with the Projects Director of MTRCL to review the progress of the SCL project as well as monitoring procurement activities post - tender award cost control and resolution of contractual claims
第二層架構是透過路政署一名助理署長級人員，每月與港鐵公司總經理級人員舉行項目統籌會議，主要處理對進度有潛在影響的事項，以及與其他項目的銜接事宜等，以適時完成與土地相關的工作。
In the second tier an HyD officer at Assistant Director level holds monthly Project Coordination Meetings with General Managers of MTRCL mainly to deal with matters which may have potential impact on the progress of the project and interface with other projects so as to complete the land - related work in a timely manner
在第三層架構，路政署兩名總工程師每月均與港鐵公司的工地督導人員就主要的土木及機電工程舉行項目進度會議，焦點在於各主要工程合約的施工進度。
In the third tier two officers at Chief Engineer level hold monthly Project Progress Meetings with the site supervision staff of MTRCL on major civil and electrical and mechanical works focusing on the works progress in relation to the major contracts of works
路政署亦聘請了監察及核證顧問，協助署方進行監察工作和定期審核。
HyD has also engaged a monitoring and verification MV consultant to assist the department in monitoring and regularly auditing the works
監核顧問會透過定期工地視察及會議，從項目開支、進度及公眾安全等方面進行監察，向路政署匯報沙中線項目是否存在滯後的風險，並會就港鐵公司建議的追回施工進度措施是否合適，向路政署提供意見。
The MV consultant will monitor the expenditure progress and public safety of the works through regular site inspections and meetings and report to HyD on whether there are risks of slippage in the progress of the SCL project and advise on the appropriateness of the delay recovery measures proposed by MTRCL
此外，監核顧問會同時核實港鐵公司的工作是否符合與政府簽訂的委託協議下的要求。
In addition the MV consultant will verify whether the works of MTRCL complies with the requirements under the Entrustment Agreement signed with the Government
路政署一直以上述"核實監督者"的安排，監督港鐵公司推展沙中線項目。
HyD has all along adopted the Check the Checker arrangement in monitoring the SCL project implemented by MTRCL
同時，路政署署長每月與運輸及房屋局局長舉行會議，向運輸及房屋局局長匯報項目的進度，以及按需要提出任何與推展項目相關的重要事宜。
The Director of Highways also holds meetings with the Secretary for Transport and Housing on a monthly basis submits reports to the Secretary on the progress of the project and raises any important matters relating to the project as required
在確保結構安全方面，視乎工地位於政府土地或已批租土地，沙中線工程的設計和建造按不同的機制監管。
In ensuring structural safety the design and construction of the SCL project is governed by different mechanisms depending on whether the site is within unleased land or leased land
但是，不論屬機制為何，其對工程在結構安全方面的要求都需要與《建築物條例》有關監察工程制度方面的要求看齊。
However regardless of the type of mechanism structural safety requirements of the project also have to be on par with the requirements of works supervision under the Buildings Ordinance Cap . 123
以紅磡站月台而言，屋宇署如果發現涉及安全或質量的嚴重違規行為，可考慮根據《建築物條例》的規定對相關人士採取檢控或紀律處分行動。
In relation to the Hung Hom Station platform for instance if any serious violation involving safety and quality is found the Building Department may consider taking legal or disciplinary actions against the relevant persons according to the Building Ordinance
政府在沙中線項目上對公眾的交代，一如其他鐵路項目，一直開誠布公。
The Government has been honest in giving an account to the public on the SCL project like any other railway projects
政府與港鐵公司自2014年6月起，向立法會鐵路事宜小組委員會提交工程進度的季度報告，並出席小組委員會會議，回應議員的提問。
Since June 2014 the Government and MTRCL have been submitting quarterly progress report to the Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways and attended its meetings to respond to Members questions
以往在沙中線項目施工期間所遇上的問題，例如宋皇臺站發現古物、灣仔工地移交出現延後、灣仔北工地未能拆除鋼管樁、紅磡站北面隧道的施工問題等，我們亦在季度報告中詳細匯報，讓議員和公眾知悉沙中線工程的進度和所面對的各種挑戰。
Problems encountered while the works of the SCL project were in progress eg . discovery of relics at the Sung Wong Toi Station deferral of the handover date of the site in Wan Chai failure to remove the pipe pile at the site in Wan Chai North and works problems at the tunnel north of Hung Hom Station etc . have been reported in detail in the quarterly reports to inform Members of the progress of the SCL project and various challenges encountered
政府在沙中線項目上，一直保持開放和透明的態度，開誠布公。
The Government has all along adopted an open transparent and honest approach in relation to the SCL project
沙中線項目擴建紅磡站的工程是透過港鐵公司與禮頓建築有限公司所簽訂的第1112號合約進行。
The expansion works of Hung Hom station under the SCL project is carried out under Works Contract No . 1112 signed by MTRCL and Leighton Contractors Asia Limited Leighton
港鐵公司須根據與政府簽訂的委託協議，確保所聘用的承建商及分判商，其資歷均符合港鐵公司一貫推展鐵路項目時所要求的水平。
In accordance with the Entrustment Agreement signed with the Government MTRCL is required to ensure that the contractors and subcontractors employed are of a level of qualification which is consistent with those required by MTRCL for implementing ordinary railway projects
港鐵公司作為項目管理人，有責任把設計上的要求，全數反映在與承建商和分判商所簽訂的工程合約內，以確保施工的質量符合委託協議的要求，並須在施工期間確保承建商和分判商的施工符合標準。
MTRCL as the project manager shall ensure all the design requirements are reflected in the works contracts signed with the contractors and sub - contractors in order to ensure the quality of works comply with the requirements of the Entrustment Agreement and the works carried out by the contractors and subcontractors are in compliance with the standards during construction
路政署與監核顧問有定期派員巡查沙中線項目工地，一般每月巡查6至8個合約，而紅磡站合約則每隔約3個月進行視察。
HyD and the MV consultant visit the sites of SCL regularly . In general about six to eight works contracts are visited in a month and the works contract of Hung Hom station is visited about once in every three months
早前在5月30日，傳媒開始報道紅磡站月台鋼筋出現被剪短的情況。
On 30 May the media started reporting that steel bars were found to be cut short at the platforms of Hung Hom Station
路政署即時作出跟進，在同日聯同其監核顧問到紅磡站工地進行實地視察，並翻查港鐵公司的工程監督紀錄。
HyD took immediate follow - up action and inspected on the same day the site of Hung Hom Station with the MV consultant and checked MTRCLs inspection records
雖然當天實地視察過程中並未有發現明顯的問題，但鑒於事件引起公眾疑慮，路政署署長在翌日即5月31日與港鐵公司高層人員會面，再次表達路政署對事件的高度關注。
Although no apparent problems were found in the site inspection as the matter has aroused public concern the Director of Highways met with senior officers of MTRCL on 31 May to reiterate HyDs grave concern
路政署署長並要求港鐵公司在1星期內就事件提交報告。
The Director of Highways also demanded MTRCL to submit a report on the incident within a week
此外，為釋除公眾對有關混凝土構築物安全的疑慮，路政署署長亦要求港鐵公司盡快安排由獨立第三方專家進行負重荷載測試，向路政署提交測試報告，以確保有關構築物能承受設計的荷載。
Furthermore to allay public concern about the safety of the concrete structures the Director of Highways demanded MTRCL to arrange an independent third - party expert to conduct a load test as soon as possible and submit a test report to ensure the structures can sustain the design loads
在6月6日，港鐵公司舉行新聞發布會，向公眾交代紅磡站月台事件。
On 6 June MTRCL held a press conference to give an account to the public of the incident of the platforms of Hung Hom Station
但是，港鐵公司未能確認鋼筋被剪短的數目、被何人剪短及其背後的原因。
Nevertheless MTRCL has not ascertained how many steel bars have been cut short; by whom and the reasons for that
政府對事件高度重視。
The Government is highly concerned about the incident
政府在6月15日收到港鐵公司提交的報告。
The Government received the report submitted by MTRCL on 15 June
報告指出，總承建商禮頓的其中一個分判商向港鐵公司的陳述，其內容與禮頓向港鐵公司作出的陳述不相符，而禮頓對於該分判商的指控強烈否認，港鐵公司則未有就此事情提出任何意見。
The report states that the statements given by one of the subcontractors of Leighton the main contractor are not consistent with those given to MTRCL by Leighton . While Leighton has strenuously denied the allegations MTRCL did not express any opinion on this matter
根據港鐵公司當天就此事另行向路政署提交的資料，路政署認為事情或會涉及刑事成分，因此已將事宜轉介警方跟進。
According to the information provided by MTRCL separately to HyD HyD considers that the matter may involve criminality and HyD has therefore referred the matter to the Police for follow - up action
政府現階段不會就此事評論。
The Government has no comment on this matter at this stage
至於報告的其他內容及技術性資料，路政署和其他相關的部門會深入審視，有需要時會要求港鐵公司澄清資料或作進一步補充。沙中線項目仍在進行，當工程完成後，港鐵公司須向政府提交所需文件及竣工報告，包括測試報告和檢查紀錄，以供審核並確認。此外，在有關工程移交政府前，路政署將聯同其監核顧問和相關政府部門參與港鐵公司的竣工前驗收工作。
As regards other contents and technical information in the report HyD will thoroughly examine and request MTRCL to make clarifications or provide supplementary information if necessary
主席，香港按揭證券有限公司於2015年2月收緊按揭保險計劃的安排，合資格住宅物業可敘造最高按揭成數由九成下調至八成，並暫停接受高於八成按揭成數的按揭保險申請，但有固定收入及還款能力較強的首次置業人士最高仍可取得九成按揭。
President in February 2015 the Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited tightened the arrangements under the Mortgage Insurance Programme MIP by reducing the maximum MIP coverage for eligible residential properties from 90 % loan - to - value LTV ratio to 80 % LTV ratio and suspending the acceptance of applications for mortgage loans exceeding 80 % LTV ratio . However those first - time home buyers with regular income and stronger repayment ability are still eligible for MIP coverage of 90 % LTV ratio
有市民指出，近年發展商按照按保計劃的最高按揭成數及首次置業者一般可獲銀行批准的按揭貸款額，計算出他們可承擔的樓價上限。
Some members of the public have pointed out that in recent years developers have calculated the maximum property price affordable to first - time home buyers on the basis of the maximum MIP coverage and the mortgage loan amounts generally approved by banks for first - time home buyers
例如，當呎價為1萬元時，一名可承擔樓價400萬元的置業者能購買400平方呎單位；當呎價升至兩萬元時，他只能購買200平方呎單位。
For instance when the per - square - foot price is 10,000 a home buyer who can afford a property price of 4 million will be able to buy a flat of 400 square feet; when the per - square - foot price rises to 20,000 he can only buy a flat of 200 square feet
隨着單位呎價近年不斷上升，發展商將貨就價下興建的住宅單位面積越來越小。
As the price per square foot of flats has been rising incessantly in recent years the size of the residential flats built by developers according to the price affordable to buyers has become smaller and smaller
