根據《安老方案》的推算，於2026年資助長期護理服務的規劃比率參考數值為每1,000名65歲或以上的長者有21.4個資助院舍照顧服務宿位和14.8個資助社區照顧服務名額。
According to the projections in ESPP the indicative planning ratios for subsidized long - term care services in 2026 are 21.4 subsidized residential care places and 14.8 subsidized community care places per 1 000 elderly persons aged 65 or above
另外，《安老方案》亦建議在人口達170,000人的新住宅區應設有一間長者地區中心。
In addition ESPP recommended that there should be one DECC in each new residential area with a population reaching 170 000
而在合適情況下，應於每個新建或重建的公共屋邨設有一間長者鄰舍中心；而每個新住宅區，若其私人屋苑部分的人口達15,000至20,000人，亦應設有一間長者鄰舍中心。
Where appropriate there should be one NEC in each new and redeveloped public rental housing PRH estate and one in private housing areas with a population of 15 000 to 20 000 in new residential areas
《安老方案》亦提出規劃比率的參考數值應定期作出檢視，並在適當情況下調整比率，以反映長者的人口結構轉變。
ESPP has also proposed that the planning ratios should be reviewed from time to time and where appropriate be adjusted to reflect the changing demographic structure of the elderly population
為跟進有關建議，《行政長官2017年施政綱領》中提及，政府計劃在《規劃標準》重新加入以人口為基礎的安老服務規劃比率。
To follow up on the recommendations concerned The Chief Executives 2017 Policy Agenda sets out that the Government plans to reinstate the population - based planning ratios for elderly services in HKPSG
就此，勞工及福利局和社會福利署已展開與發展局和規劃署的討論，包括擬訂《規劃標準》的具體修訂建議等。
The Labour and Welfare Bureau and the Social Welfare Department have commenced discussions with the Development Bureau and PlanD in this regard including the drawing up of specific amendments to HKPSG
在修訂《規劃標準》後，我們亦會適時檢視及更新有關規劃比率，確保設施規劃能迎合服務需求。
After HKPSG has been amended we will review and update the relevant planning ratios at suitable junctures to ensure that the planning of facilities could meet the service demand
三 為確保為殘疾人士提供的服務與時並進，政府已委託康復諮詢委員會制訂新的《香港康復計劃方案》。
3 To ensure relevance of the services for PWDs the Government has asked the Rehabilitation Advisory Committee RAC to formulate a new Hong Kong Rehabilitation Programme Plan RPP
康復諮詢委員會委聘了香港理工大學為顧問，並就制訂新的《康復方案》展開公眾參與活動。
RAC has commissioned the Hong Kong Polytechnic University to provide consultancy service and launched a public engagement exercise for the formulation of the new RPP
康復諮詢委員會已接近完成"訂定範疇"階段的諮詢工作，並建議把院舍照顧及社區支援的服務規劃納入是次檢討的範疇。
The RACs consultation work for the Scoping Stage will be completed soon and RAC recommends the inclusion of planning of residential care and community support services in the scope of the current review
鑒於殘疾人士的服務需要多元性，不同殘疾狀況的人士的需要各異，顧問團隊會研究訂立康復服務及設施的規劃準則及基礎，例如是否如《安老方案》般以人口為基礎設立規劃比率。
In view of the diverse service needs of PWDs and the different requirements on services from persons with different disabilities the Consulting Team will examine the parameters and basis for the planning of rehabilitation services and facilities . For instance whether a population - based planning ratio should be set as in the case of ESPP
顧問團隊會就相關課題在下一個階段諮詢持份者的 意見。
The Consulting Team will consult stakeholders on the issues concerned in the next stage of consultation exercise
視乎諮詢工作的具體情況，康復諮詢委員會計劃在2019年年底向政府就新的《康復方案》提交報告。
Depending on the progress of the consultation work RAC aims to submit a report on the new RPP to the Government by end - 2019
政府過去沒有把康復服務設施的規劃比率納入《規劃標準》。
The Government has not included any planning ratio for rehabilitation services in HKPSG in the past
主席，規劃土地供不同的公共設施使用，是政府的責任。
President it is the duty of the Government to make land use planning for accommodating various public facilities particularly social welfare facilities
我想問局長，既然《安老方案》建議每1000名65歲或以上的長者有21.4個資助院舍照顧服務宿位，這些宿位的人均面積要求為何？
According to the recommendation in ESPP there should be 21.4 subsidized residential care places per 1 000 elderly persons aged 65 or above . May I ask the Secretary about the per capita space requirement for these places?
主席，《安老方案》並無列明這些宿位的人均面積要求，舊有的《規劃標準》亦無列明有關的人均面積要求。
President neither ESPP nor the old HKPSG has stipulated the per capita space requirement for these residential care places
如果問題是關於公共屋邨內原有的資助服務單位，據我理解，過往不曾有資助服務單位因為上述的業權變更而出現變化。
If it is about the existing subsidized service units in PRH estates according to my understanding there has not been any change in these subsidized service units after the change in property ownership as previously mentioned
主席，局長是否希望我澄清問題？
President does the Secretary want me to clarify my question?
不過，每次經更新的規定只適用於新建樓宇及進行大規模維修的樓宇。
The updated requirements however will only apply to buildings which are newly - built or substantially renovated
《安老方案》建議在《規劃標準》訂明每1000名長者有21.4個宿位的規劃比率，但宿位可以由買位院舍或資助院舍提供。
While the planning ratio of 21.4 residential care places per 1 000 elderly persons is proposed to be included in HKPSG by ESPP these places can be provided either by the EBPS homes or subsidized residential care homes
換言之，住宅發展項目應預留場所及處所作安老服務之用。
In other words residential developments should have sites and premises reserved for the provision of elderly services
可是，即使現時在《香港2030+》重新加入與長者及殘疾人士有關的服務比例，日後如何能夠真正實踐？
Yet even if the service ratios relating to the elderly and PWDs is now incorporated into Hong Kong 2030 how will such ratios be realized in the future?
政府有否考慮如何落實"以人口為基礎"及"屋苑為本"的理念？
Has the Government considered how to implement the population - based and estate - based concepts?
過去有不少經驗顯示，私人樓宇的居民團體其實不太接受在其大廈提供安老服務設施。
Past experience shows that many residents groups do not really accept having elderly service facilities in their buildings
在未來的日子，政府會否在私人住宅賣地條款或土地租約中加入必須興建安老服務設施的規定，而並非單靠在"政府、機構或社區"用地提供安老服務設施？
In the future will the Government include the requirement for providing elderly service facilities in the conditions of sale or land leases of private domestic sites instead of providing such facilities solely on the GIC sites?
而在合適情況下，應於每個新建或重建的公共屋邨設有一間長者鄰舍中心；而每個新住宅區，若其私人屋苑部分的人口達15000至20000人，亦應設有一間長者鄰舍中心。
Where appropriate there should be one NEC in each new and redeveloped public rental housing PRH estate and one in private housing areas with a population of 15 000 to 20 000 in new residential areas
是否訂有清楚準則，以決定在哪些私人住宅項目的賣地條款或土地租約加入興建安老服務設施的規定？
Will there be clear standards for deciding which private residential developments will be imposed with the requirement for providing elderly service facilities in their conditions of sale or land leases?
主席，正如我剛才在主體答覆指出，有關規劃基本上要考慮人口比例。
President as I pointed out in the main reply earlier the size of population is a major consideration in the relevant planning
主席，我動議 《2018年道路交通條例草案》 予以三讀並通過。
President I move that the Road Traffic Amendment Bill 2018 be read the Third time and do pass
行政長官於上月3日出席本會答問會時表示，不能隨意引用《收回土地條例》，因為"那些私有產權被侵犯的擁有人會......提出司法覆核控告政府"，而官司可耗時長達八至九年。
When she attended this Councils Question and Answer Session held on the 3 of last month the Chief Executive CE advised that the Lands Resumption Ordinance should not be invoked arbitrarily because owners whose private ownership is being infringed upon will apply for judicial review against the Government and such lawsuits might last for as long as eight to nine years
然而，政府回覆本會議員於上月30日提出的書面質詢時表示，由1997年7月至2017年12月的20年期間，土地業權人因政府引用該條例收回其私人土地而提出的司法覆核個案只有8宗。
However in reply to a written question raised by a Member of this Council on the 30 of last month the Government indicated that over the past two decades from July 1997 to December 2017 there were only eight judicial review cases lodged by landowners arising from the Governments invocation of the Ordinance for resumption of their private lands
該等案件由法庭批出司法覆核許可至法庭頒下司法覆核裁決所需時間，由最短的9天至最長不超過一年。
For such cases the time taken from the Courts granting of leave for judicial review to its handing down of judgments on the judicial review ranged from nine days the shortest to no more than one year the longest
就此，政府可否告知本會：一有否評估行政長官的上述說法是否錯誤，以及會否令本會及市民誤以為引用《收回土地條例》很可能會招致訴訟；若有評估而結果為會，會否建議行政長官收回該說法；及 二會否承諾只會引用《收回土地條例》而不會採用公私營合作模式，來動用私人發展商的農地進行發展房屋項目？
In this connection will the Government inform this Council 1 whether it has assessed if CEs aforesaid statement is erroneous and if it will mislead this Council and members of the public into believing that invocation of the Lands Resumption Ordinance will very likely give rise to litigations; if it has assessed and the outcome is in the affirmative whether it will advise CE to rescind that statement; and 2 whether it will undertake that it will only invoke the Lands Resumption Ordinance and not adopt the public - private partnership approach in order to tap into private developers agricultural lands for carrying out housing development projects?
主席，《基本法》第六條及第一百零五條均提及香港特別行政區依法保護"私有財產權"。
President both Articles 6 and 105 of the Basic Law mention about the protection of the right of private ownership of property by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in accordance with law
政府在決定運用法定權力收回私人土地時，必須嚴格遵從法律的精神和制約，亦不能忽略尊重私有財產權的重要性。
The Government must adhere strictly to the spirit of and the constraints imposed by the law and cannot neglect the importance of respecting the right of private ownership of property when deciding to exercise its statutory power to resume private land
根據《收回土地條例》，政府引用該條例收回私人土地，必須是因應政府需要徵用有關土地作按照該法例所確立的"公共用途"。
According to the Lands Resumption Ordinance LRO the Government may invoke LRO to resume private land having regard to the Governments needs only for an established public purpose pursuant to LRO
換言之，引用《收回土地條例》不可能建基於一個口號或意願；在確立適用於有關土地的"公共用途"之前，政府並無理據及權力引用該條例收回私人土地。
In other words the invocation of LRO cannot be possibly based on a slogan or an intention . The Government has no justification and power to invoke LRO to resume private land before the relevant public purpose has been established
政府於今年5月30日書面答覆議員質詢時提到，由1997年7月1日至2017年12月31日，業權人就因引用《收回土地條例》收回私人土地而提出的司法覆核個案共有8宗，當中未有個案被法院判決政府敗訴。
In the written reply to a Members question on 30 May this year the Government mentioned that a total of eight judicial review cases arising from the invocation of LRO for resumption of private land were lodged by landowners from 1 July 1997 to 31 December 2017 and the Government had lost none of the cases according to court rulings
就林卓廷議員提出的質詢，我答覆如下： 一 行政長官在上月3日出席立法會答問會時的論述與上文引言部分所述的政府一貫政策完全一致。
My reply to Mr LAM Cheuk - tings question is as follows 1 In the Question and Answer Session of this Council on 3 May the Chief Executives statement is fully in line with the Governments established policy stated in the preamble above
至於行政長官在該答問會上引用有關《灣仔分區計劃大綱圖》的官司，旨在說明一些與土地和私有財產權有關的司法覆核程序，過程或會十分漫長，因此必須謹慎考慮及小心行事。
As regards the lawsuit over the Wan Chai Outline Zoning Plan OZP quoted by the Chief Executive in that Question and Answer Session it was intended to demonstrate that judicial review proceedings involving land and the right of private ownership of property could be lengthy and the Government must therefore act prudently and carefully
以上述灣仔大綱圖為例，由2011年至今涉及多宗司法覆核申請，由於所引起的跟進工作仍在進行中，相關大綱圖仍未能提交行政長官會同行政會議核准，影響了區內不少用地，包括舊灣仔警署及毗鄰用地的發展。
Taking the above Wan Chai OZP as an example it involved a number of judicial review applications since 2011 and as the arising follow - up work is still in progress the OZP has yet to be submitted to the Chief Executive in Council for approval thereby affecting the development of various sites within the district including the former Wan Chai Police Station and its adjacent area
二 近來，社會部分人士似乎有一種觀點，認為若倡議透過公私營合作模式利用私人擁有的新界農地進行發展，便是放棄透過引用《收回土地條例》收回私人土地進行發展；亦有部分人士認為只要政府引用《收回土地條例》收回私人 土地，便無需容許土地業權人利用其擁有的土地進行發展。
2 Recently there seems to be a view within the community that advocating public - private partnership to develop private agricultural land reserve in the New Territories would mean the Government giving up the right to resume private land through invoking LRO for development; or that when the Government invokes LRO to resume private land it will no longer be necessary to allow land owners to use their privately - owned land for development
在此我必須澄清，這種將政府收地與私人發展對立起來的觀點並不正確，政府亦不認同。
I must hereby clarify that this kind of view that regards land resumption by the Government and private development as mutually exclusive is incorrect and the Government does not agree
首先，政府一直有在確立"公共用途"後引用《收回土地條例》收回私人土地進行發展，未來亦會繼續就不同的新發展區及公營房屋計劃收回私人土地。
Firstly the Government has been invoking LRO to resume private land for development after establishing a public purpose . In future resumption of private land will continue to take place as well for different new development areas NDAs and public housing projects
另一方面，並非所有土地均適合作"公共用途"或公營房屋發展。
On the other hand not all land is suitable for public purpose or public housing development
事實上，社會需要的發展亦不局限於"公共用途"的需要。正因為如此，土地業權人利用其私人擁有的土地進行發展，亦是正常不過，本港不少現有的商業及住宅發展都是以此模式發展。
In fact development needed by the community is not confined to those needs for a public purpose
主席，尹兆堅議員當天在本會問行政長官，會否行使法定權力，包括引用《收回土地條例》下的權力，向地產商收回囤積的農地和棕地，以處理房屋問題。
President Mr Andrew WAN asked the Chief Executive in this Council whether she would exercise the statutory power including invoking the power under LRO to recover farm sites and brownfield sites hoarded by real estate developers so as to resolve the housing problems
林鄭月娥的回應是，如果引用《收回土地條例》，那些認為自己私有產權被侵犯的擁有人可能會提出司法覆核，控告政府。
Carrie LAM replied that if LRO was invoked owners who believed their private ownership was being infringed upon would apply for judicial review against the Government
她更引用灣仔警署的例子，指出個案一拖便拖了 八九年，有關土地的發展仍然擱置。
She further cited the case of the Wan Chai Police Station saying that the case had dragged on for eight to nine years and the development of the site was still shelved
她表示："尹議員，你是否想看到每一幅新界的土地也要經歷如此漫長的司法程序，不能釋放，不能滿足香港市民的房屋需求？
She said Mr WAN do you want to see every site in the New Territories going through these prolonged court proceedings which means the sites cannot be released to cope with the housing demand of the people of Hong Kong?
"但事實是，政府就涂謹申議員的書面質詢作出答覆，表示自回歸以來，至今只面對8宗司法覆核個案。
As a matter of fact in reply to a written question raised by Mr James TO the Government indicated that it had faced only eight judicial review cases since the reunification
這些個案的申請或被拒或由申請人主動撤回，政府在8宗個案中全部勝訴，該等個案也只持續不超過1年的時間。
The applications concerning such cases were either rejected or withdrawn by the applicants on their own initiative and the Government won all the eight cases which lasted no more than one year
主席，行政長官即使不是蓄意說謊，也是提供錯誤的資料，誤導立法會和公眾。
President even if the Chief Executive was not deliberately telling a lie she was providing wrong information and misleading the Legislative Council and the public
政府會否就行政長官錯誤提供資料及誤導公眾和立法會，收回有關言論，並且公開道歉？
Will the Government retract the relevant remarks and offer an open apology for the Chief Executive providing wrong information and misleading the public and the Legislative Council?
正如我剛才在主體答覆中表示，過去8宗牽涉《收回土地條例》的司法覆核官司，申請人的覆核要求均未被法庭接納，正正反映政府按照法律的制約，合理行使這項公權。
As I said in the main reply just now regarding the eight judicial review cases concerning LRO leave to judicial review was invariably refused by the Court and this truly reflects that the Government has reasonably exercised this public power subject to the constraints imposed by the law
政府必須有足夠證明，證明收回的土地是作公共用途，要有足夠的平衡，而非刻意隨意侵犯私有產權。
The Government must present sufficient proof to prove that the sites recovered are for public purposes . It is a matter of balancing and we are not deliberately infringing private property rights in an arbitrary manner
特別是在1997年7月1日後，我們有《基本法》，《基本法》第六條及第一百零五條均保障私人產權，法庭亦曾受理"。
This is particularly so after 1 July 1997 for private ownership of property is protected under Articles 6 and 105 of the Basic Law and the Court will grant leave for relevant litigations
提到灣仔警署和毗鄰土地，行政長官表示這幅地"處於那幅灣仔分區計劃大綱圖，有某發展商認為城市規劃委員會的改劃過程侵犯他的私有產權"。
As for the Wan Chai Police Station and its adjacent area the Chief Executive indicated that the site is in the outline zoning plan of Wan Chai and certain developers consider the rezoning procedure of the Town Planning Board has infringed their private ownership
她還說石禮謙議員不斷點頭，因為他完全知道這個案的來龍去脈。
She further said that Mr Abraham SHEK was nodding constantly for he knew the reasons and developments of the case
所以，如果回看行政長官當天的言論便會發覺，正如我已在主體答覆清楚指出，行政長官引述灣仔警署的個案，是表示對於牽涉土地、私有產權、規劃的個案時，政府的確需要很小心處理。
As such if we review the Chief Executives remarks on that day we will realize that as I have clearly indicated in the main reply the Chief Executive referred to the case of the Wan Chai Police Station for the purpose of making it clear that the Government should indeed be very careful in handling cases involving land private ownership and planning
主席，我提出的補充質詢是，行政長官會否收回有關言論，並且公開道歉，但局長沒有回答我的補充質詢。
President my supplementary question is whether the Chief Executive will retract the relevant remarks and apologize publicly but the Secretary has failed to answer my supplementary question
行政長官當天的言論絕對反映政府的一貫政策，所以我認為無須收回有關言論。
The remarks made by the Chief Executive on that day had fully reflected the consistent policies of the Government so I think they did not need to be retracted
政府一直認為，行使《收回土地條例》下的公權時，須受到法律的制約，公權並非無限。
The Government has all along opined that when exercising the public power under LRO it must be subject to the constraints imposed by the law and public power is not indefinite
我不想再讀一次特首有關灣仔警署的說法，特首當時清楚指出，這宗官司關乎有發展商不滿意城市規劃委員會在制訂大綱圖時的一些情況，因此提出上訴。
I do not want to read out again the Chief Executives remarks about the Wan Chai Police Station . The Chief Executive clearly indicated that the case involved some developers who were not satisfied with the preparation of the outline zoning plan by the Town Planning Board and therefore lodged a judicial review
我剛才在主體答覆中已經清楚指出，這反映就一些牽涉土地、私有產權和規劃的官司，政府要小心謹慎處理。
As I have clearly explained in the main reply just now this reflects that the Government must be careful and prudent in handling cases involving land private ownership and planning
主席，我無意再與局長糾纏當時的答案，因為我們有文本在手，文本很清楚，我相信任何理解能力正常、有收看電視的香港市民也知道，特首錯誤引例。
President I have no intention to further argue with the Secretary over the answer given back then for we have the transcript in hand . The text is clear enough . I believe any persons with normal comprehension capacity and have watched the television broadcast would know that the Chief Executive had cited wrongly
我當時已經指出，特首引述的例子是錯誤的，因為她說的不是一宗收回土地而引致的司法覆核。
At that time I pointed out that the example cited by the Chief Executive was wrong as that was not a case of judicial review arising from land resumption
主席，官員的答覆比較差，我引述剛才黃偉綸局長的主體答覆："引用《收回土地條例》不可能建基於一個口號或意願；在確立適用於有關土地的'公共用途'之前，政府並無理據及權力......
President the answer given by the official is highly undesirable . Let me quote Secretary Michael WONGs main reply just now the invocation of LRO cannot be possibly based on a slogan or an intention . The Government has no justification and power to resume private land before the relevant public purpose has been established
發展局過去針對洪水橋發展區，可以制訂新發展區、新市鎮的位置，但為何唯獨在新界，大地產商大量囤積荒廢農地、棕地，政府沒有計劃興建公屋或發展新市鎮？
In the case of the Hung Shui Kiu NDA the Development Bureau could determine the location of the NDA or the new town but why is it that in the New Territories the Government allows hoarding of large quantities of deserted agricultural land and brownfield sites by large real estate developers and has no plan to build public housing or develop new towns?
政府可以這樣對待小村民，但對地產商，《收回土地條例》是否不是"尚方寶劍"，而是生了鏽？
The Government could treat villagers in this manner but when facing real estate developers is LRO not an imperial sword but rather a rusty sword?
換言之，就新發展區而言，政府收回土地仍然是主體模式。
In other words as far as NDAs are concerned land resumption by the Government is still the major approach
第一，某些土地可能需要政府提供一些基建設施，才可以增加人口密度。
First on some pieces of land the Government may need to provide certain infrastructural facilities before increasing their population density
他提及公私營合作，而我問他開拓新市鎮及興建公屋是否"公共用途"，他是否連這麼簡單的問題也不敢回答？
He referred to public - private partnership but I asked him whether developing new towns and building public housing are for public purpose
以某些新發展區的發展為例，古洞北/粉嶺北的發展計劃在1998年首次提出，後來因應社會情況而停頓下來。
In the case of the development of certain NDAs the development scheme of Kwu Tung North and Fanling North was first proposed in 1998 and later halted due to social conditions
該發展計劃2008年再提出，今天已經完成了規劃。
The development scheme was again proposed in 2008 and its planning has been concluded
我們希望明年可以展開第一期工程，亦展開相應的清理土地的工作。
We hope to commence the First Phase Works next year and we will also commence land clearance correspondingly
由1998年至今已20年，而新界北正進行規劃，現時大綱圖已提交城市規劃委員會，這反映如果政府就整個發展區作出整全的規劃，時間可以很漫長。
It has been 20 years since 1998 and we are planning for the New Territories North the outline zoning plan of which has been submitted to the Town Planning Board . This reflects that it may take a long time for the Government to make an overall plan for an entire development area
至於一些個別的土地，正如我剛才提到，第一，收地程序或許可以減省，因為土地已被收購。
As for individual pieces of land as I said just now first the land resumption procedure may be foregone as the land has already been acquired
我亦感謝所有同事一直以來給予我們支持。
I am also grateful to all of our colleagues for their continued support for us
根據現行《道路交通條例》及相關規例，的士及公共小巴司機為出租或取酬而載客時，必須在車內展示有效的的士司機證或公共小巴司機證，以便於確認司機身份及提升專業形象。
Under the existing Road Traffic Ordinance Cap . 374 and the relevant regulations a taxi or public light bus PLB driver is required to display a valid taxi or PLB driver identity plate in the vehicle when it is used for the carriage of passengers for hire or reward so as to facilitate easy identification of the driver and enhance the professional image of the driver
司機證必須附有司機在展示日期前12個月內拍攝的照片，換言之，司機必須每年更換司機證以符合法例規定。
The driver identity plate must bear the drivers photo taken not earlier than 12 months before the day of display; in other words the driver must renew the plate annually in order to meet the statutory requirement
的士及公共小巴業界指出司機均屬成年人，其容貌不會有太大變化，規定每12個月更換司機證的要求過於頻密，並沒有必要。
The taxi and PLB trades have pointed out that as drivers of taxis and PLBs are all adults their appearances will not change significantly and so it is not necessary to require driver identity plates to be renewed every 12 months which is too frequent
業界提出政府應為司機證訂定一個較長的有效期。
The trades suggest that the Government should stipulate a longer validity period for driver identity plates
因應業界這方面的意見，我們制定了《條例草案》，建議取消12個月的照片規定，同時賦權運輸及房屋局局長就公共服務車輛司 機證訂明有效期，以及指明的士司機證及公共小巴司機證的有效期為10年，司機因此無需每年換證。
In response to the trades opinions in this regard we have drawn up the Bill which proposes that the 12 - month photo requirement be cancelled and that the Secretary for Transport and Housing be empowered to prescribe a validity period for driver identity plates for public service vehicles and to specify a validity period of 10 years for taxi and PLB driver identity plates so that drivers will not have to renew the plates every year
此舉預期可略為減輕業界的運作成本，並為業界的營運帶來便利。
This is expected to slightly reduce the operating costs of the trades and bring convenience to the trades operation
為配合新安排，當《條例草案》通過後，運輸署署長會藉憲報公告指明的士司機證及公共小巴司機證的新設計。
To tie in with the new arrangement the Commissioner for Transport will upon the passage of the Bill specify by notice in the Gazette a new design for taxi and PLB driver identity plates
該設計將適用於《條例草案》生效後所發出的司機證。
That design will be applied to the driver identity plates issued after the commencement of the Bill
此外，為免大量司機在《條例草案》生效後立即同時換領新款司機證，《條例草案》亦訂明過渡條文。
Moreover to avoid causing a large number of drivers to apply for the new driver identity plates all at once upon the commencement of the Bill a transitional provision is provided in the Bill
在《條例草案》生效前所發出的司機證，將繼續在發出日期起計1年內有效。
The driver identity plates issued before the commencement of the Bill will remain valid for one year from the date of issue
法案委員會有部分委員對制訂10年作為司機證有效期的建議表示關注，尤其關注新款司機證的耐用程度及日後的收費。
Some members of the Bills Committee are concerned about the proposal to stipulate a 10 - year validity period for driver identity plates and in particular the durability of the new driver identity plates and the fees to be charged for such plates in the future
我必須指出，在制訂合適的有效期年期時，我們已充分考慮業界的意見。業界認為司機證的有效期應為較長的年期，並應參考其他證件的一般有效期。
I must point out that in determining the appropriate duration of the validity period we have fully considered the trades views that the validity period of driver identity plates should be a longer period and reference should be made to the normal validity period of other identification documents
