但是，問題是，如果政府這樣看待問題，便正正是為何市民不能接受釋法，因為政府確實嘗試影響一宗官司的結果，而法官亦提到無論釋法與否，他也會這樣判決，那麼為何要釋法呢？
However the problem is exactly why the public cannot accept the interpretation if the Government treats the matter like that as it has indeed tried to influence the outcome of a lawsuit in which the judge has also said that he would rule in that way with or without the interpretation . Why then should there be the interpretation?
純粹是政治的考量。
It was purely a political consideration
我希 望在這方面，大家要一起向中央很確切和很清楚地說明，釋法的權力絕對不能輕易運用，因為這樣只會破壞"一國兩制"和香港的法治。
I hope that in this regard everyone must join hands in telling the Central Authorities precisely and clearly that the power to interpret the Basic Law should never be used lightly because using the power that way can only undermine one country two systems and the rule of law in Hong Kong
最後一分鐘，我想說說政改的問題。
In the last one minute I want to say a few words on the issue of constitutional reform
當然，大家也知道我們在上屆議會中，就着政改的議題花了很多時間，最後不能通過是因為很多市民不接受該政改方案。
Of course everyone knows that we spent a lot of time on the motion on constitutional reform during the previous Legislative Council but eventually failed to pass it because a lot of people could not accept the constitutional reform proposal
今屆政府的line是要創造有利的條件，我希望不要只是隨口說。
The line adopted by the current - term Government is that they will create favourable conditions for the reform and I hope that they are not saying it casually
創造有利的條件，是我對政制及內地事務局局長的一個非常大的期望。
One of my great expectations of the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs is that he can create favourable conditions
他會如何創造條件？
How would he do so?
創造條件是除了香港本身之外，亦涉及泛民和中央，又或泛民和有關官員，究竟是否有條件大家坐下來討論呢？
In doing so apart from the effort to be made in Hong Kong the conditions between the pan - democrats and the Central Authorities or between the pan - democrats and the relevant officials are involved . Is there any condition for everyone to sit down for a discussion?
是否可以真正創造條件，局長會怎樣做呢？
Is it really possible to create favourable conditions? . What will the Secretary do?
我希望局長會清楚回應有關問題。
I hope the Secretary will clearly respond to these questions
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：胡志偉議員就李慧琼議員議案動議的修正案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the amendment moved by Mr WU Chi - wai to Ms Starry LEEs motion be passed
代理主席，這個辯論環節涵蓋了7個政策範疇，我只會就公務員及資助機構員工事務表達意見。
Deputy President this debate session covers seven policy areas but I am going to speak on Public Service only
公務員團隊是支撐整個特區政府運作的中流砥柱，我支持政府把公務員編制增長至3%或以上，以回應社會對公營服務的需求。
The civil service is the mainstay of the whole SAR Government . I support the Governments initiative of increasing the civil service establishment by 3 % or more to meet the demand for public service in society
可是，這5,000多個新增加常額職位會衍生的問題，亦需要政府妥善處理。
But the Government must also properly tackle the issues arising from the creation of some 5 000 permanent posts
例如，現時非公務員合約僱員可否轉為加入公務員常額編制，若可以這樣轉職，又應如何計算他們的年資和起薪點呢？
For instance is it possible to convert non - civil service contract staff to civil servants on permanent establishment? . If conversion is possible how should their seniority and entry points be determined?
在2016年，便已有12,000名非公務員合約僱員持續服務了3年以上，數目不小。
Simply in 2016 the number of non - civil service contract staff having served a continuous period of three years or more already stood at 12 000 which is not a small number
我期望政府早日公布新增加名額的聘用政策，以釋除員工疑慮。
I hope the Government can announce the employment policy for the new civil service positions so as to allay staff anxieties
此外，有兩點我在施政報告其他辯論環節中也有提及。
Also I want to raise two more points which I already discussed in other debate sessions on the Policy Address
第一，政府在外判標準僱傭合約中，應規定標準工時為每周44小時，以及超時工作必須以1.5倍工資作補償。
First in the standard employment contract used by outsourcing service contractors the Government should limit the number of standard working hours to 44 per week and set the compensation for overtime work at 150 % of the regular wage
政府應為推動標準工時，發揮帶頭作用。
The Government should take the lead in promoting the implementation of standard working hours
另一點是，有些職系人手嚴重不足。
The second point is that certain grades are faced with an acute manpower shortage
例如，勞工處職安主任近日已增聘人手，但現時每名外勤督察一年要巡查450個工地，前線人手明顯不足。
For instance despite the recent manpower increase for the Occupational Safety Officer Grade in the Labour Department each field inspector must still inspect 450 works sites a year . This shows an obvious shortage of frontline staff
我期望政府在擴充編制的同時，了解前線人員的實際工作情況，避免管理層編制膨脹，但前線員工不足。
I hope that when the Government expands the civil service establishment it can seek to understand the actual situation of frontline staff lest the increase may end up in an expansion of the managerial establishment but a shortage of frontline staff
代理主席，除了公務員隊伍外，資助機構員工也盡心盡力為市民提供服務，他們的薪酬福利架構和假期安排等，亦應參照《公務員事務規例》的管理模式，以增加士氣。
Deputy President besides civil servants the staff of subvented organizations are likewise dedicated to serving the public . Their remuneration structure and leave arrangements should be modelled on the system of benefits administration under the Civil Service Regulations so as to boost their morale
施政綱領提出會優化社福機構的整筆撥款津助制度，但沒有就其他資助機構的撥款制度着墨。
The Policy Agenda puts forth the optimization of the Lump Sum Grant Subvention System for social welfare organizations but it does not touch on the subvention systems for other kinds of subvented organizations
為了加強資助機構前線員工的保障，政府應探討前線員工的薪酬調整不低於公務員薪酬調整的可行性。
In order to better protect the frontline staff of subvented organizations the Government should explore the feasibility of setting the pay adjustment of these frontline staff at a level not lower than that of their civil service counterparts
梁繼昌議員剛才在外面對我說，其實就很多事情，大家都討論了很多年，他也看到每年都有少許進展。
Mr Kenneth LEUNG was talking to me outside earlier that many issues have been under our discussion for many years and he could see that little progress was made each year
為何議員每年都在這議事堂重複這些說話呢？
But why are Members repeating these arguments in this Chamber every year?
其實不是我們長氣，大家可以從另一個角度看，換言之政府在某些議員關心的政策上進展緩慢，所以議員不斷在不同場合提醒我們的官員要進行這些工作。
In fact it is not because we are long - winded . We can view this from another perspective . In other words the Government has been acting slowly in the policies of Members concern and that is why Members keep on reminding our public officers to carry out certain work
主席，我首先想對黃錦星局長發言，因為今早好像沒有甚麼議員跟他談話。
President first of all I would like to speak to Secretary WONG Kam - sing as it seems that not many Members spoke to him this morning
局長，你今年在施政報告的其中一個重點，就是廢物徵費計劃，我已多次告訴你要專款專用，收到廢物徵費的款項後，必須用以扶助環保企業。
Secretary one of the major initiatives from your Bureau this year in the Policy Address is the waste charging scheme . I have advised you on many occasions that you need to make use of this special levy for special purpose . For the waste charges collected you must use them for assisting environmental protection enterprises
但是，我經常收到中產朋友或議會同事，例如李慧琼議員經常對我說，為何環境局的環保政策全部都要收費，全部都好像要懲罰市民？
Nevertheless some middle - class people and Council Members like Ms Starry LEE always tell me that they have such a query Why are the environmental protection policies of the Environment Bureau all charging - based which seem to penalize the citizens?
中產朋友很樂意減廢，但為何不提供誘因，永遠都是向我們收費？
People from the middle class are very willing to reduce waste . Why does the Government not provide any incentives but is always charging us?
局 長經常說這是基於"污者自付"的原則，我是同意這項原則的，但大家可看看其他國家的例子，是否只有收費才可減廢？
The Secretary often explains that this is based on the polluter pays principle to which I agree . But we can also draw reference from other countries . Can waste only be reduced by charging the people?
主席，我舉兩個例子，第一個是日本島根縣。
President I will quote two examples . The first example is in Shimane Prefecture of Japan
它的縣政府每年向居民派100個專用垃圾袋，如果用不完可以賣回給政府，這樣居民便可賺取少許金錢，也有減少使用量的誘因。
Each year the local government gives out 100 designated garbage bags to each resident . If a resident cannot use up all the bags he can sell them back to the government and thus can earn some money which can serve as an incentive of using less garbage bags
原來是可以的，計劃實施1年後，當地的垃圾量減少了27%，是有成果的。
The answer is in the positive . After the scheme has been implemented for one year it is already effective as the volume of local garbage has reduced by 27 %
英國雖然沒有實施廢物徵費，但市民可以按照回收物的重量取得積分，而這些積分可以到某些店鋪消費時使用並享有折扣，同樣也可成功鼓勵市民減廢和進行回收工作。
Although there is no waste charging system in the United Kingdom the residents can gain some points based on the weight of the recycled materials and can then enjoy discounts with these points upon spending in certain shops . Similarly this measure can also successfully encourage residents to reduce and recycle waste
如果香港只使用懲罰措施是明顯不足的，我希望政府在這方面認真考慮如何鼓勵市民減廢，要有誘因才行。
If Hong Kong only goes by a penalty system it is grossly insufficient . I hope that the Government can consider seriously how to encourage citizens to reduce waste preferably with an incentive
我們經常說要有胡蘿蔔與大棒，兩者並行才會有更好的成果。
We always mention using a carrot and stick strategy and we need to have both to get a better result
我要對黃錦星局長說的第二點，很多同事剛才也說過了，就是電動車的問題。
The second issue that I have to discuss with Secretary WONG Kam - sing is about electric vehicles which was also mentioned by a number of colleagues earlier
據我理解，因為運輸及房屋局局長說要限制車輛增長，所以取消了電動車的稅務優惠。
As I understand the tax concessions on electric vehicles were cancelled due to the Secretary for Transport and Housings wish to contain the growth of vehicles . President I think the Government is not taking an appropriate measure
主席，我覺得這是藥石亂投，我向大家提供幾個數字對比一下。
I will provide some figures for comparison by Members
第二，今年4月1日取消稅務優惠至今，全港賣出多少部電動車？
Secondly since the abolition of the tax concessions on 1 April this year how many electric vehicles have been sold?
是15部，銷情慘淡，某個月簡直是零銷售，沒有電動車被賣出。
The answer is a bleak record of 15 vehicles and not even one electric vehicle was sold at all in a certain month
跟去年這段時間比較，今年普通汽車的銷量增長是多少？
Compared with the same period of time last year what is the growth rate in the sales of usual fossil - fuel vehicles?
換言之，當局以取消稅務優惠這項政策限制車輛增長是錯的，因為只能限制電動車增長，而其他燃油車的銷量卻一直上升。
In other words the authorities are taking a wrong approach in restricting the growth of vehicles by abolishing the tax concessions as they can only curb the growth of electric vehicles but the sales of other fossil - fuel vehicles keep on rising
我想跟政府說的第三點是，請不要忘記政府曾有一個目標，政府在2011年時曾訂立一個目標：在2020年，全香港要有三成汽車是電動車或混能車。
The third point that I would like to tell the Government is Please do not forget that the Government has a target . In 2011 the Government set a target that by 2020 30 % of the vehicles in Hong Kong have to be either electric or hybrid vehicles
如果政府以自己的政策限制了電動車的發展，我想問局長如何達標？
If the Government is restricting the development of electric vehicles with its own policy I want to ask the Secretary how this target can be achieved
當然，還有一點是跟劉江華局長有關的，就是經常有很多居民告訴我們，他們買了電動車，想在自己屋苑安裝充電站，但法團不允許這樣做。
Of course there is one aspect related to Secretary LAU Kong - wah . As many residents told me they have bought electric vehicles and want to install charging stations in their respective housing estates but their requests are rejected by the owners corporations
這是跟民政有點關係的，而當然，主導權在環境局和運輸及房屋局。
This is somewhat related to home affairs but of course the Environment Bureau and the Transport and Housing Bureau have the leading roles to play . We have a deadlock here
這也是一個死結，如果不能安裝充電站，便難以鼓勵電動車的增長。
If charging stations are not allowed to be installed it will be difficult to boost the growth of electric vehicles
主席，我也要在此申報，我是電動車的支持者和用家。
President I also have to declare interest here as I am a supporter and user of electric vehicles
此外，我想跟運輸及房屋局和發展局談一談。
Besides I would like to discuss with the Transport and Housing Bureau and the Development Bureau
柯創盛議員剛才拿出這張觀塘港鐵站迫爆的照片。
Mr Wilson OR just took out a picture of an extremely crowded MTR Kwun Tong Station
主席，如果我不說，大家都可以在任何一個港鐵站看到這種迫爆的情況。
President if I do not name it Members may have a difficult guess as this crowdedness can be seen in any one MTR Station
現在每天早上的粉嶺站、上水站、沙田站、大學站、大圍站，全部都是這麼擠塞，但我要特別強調粉嶺和上水。
At present at Fanling Station Sheung Shui Station Sha Tin Station University Station and Tai Wai Station they are equally crowded every morning . But I have to especially emphasize Fanling Station and Sheung Shui Station
因為在五六年後，新界東北發展便會有第一批居民入伙，屆時有十多二十萬人，他們出外上班、上課，就是依靠東鐵。
It is because after five or six years there will be the intake of the first batch of residents between 100 000 to 200 000 people under the North East New Territories development and they will count on the East Rail Line when commuting to work and to school in other areas
東鐵和西鐵兩者是靠港鐵在九龍尖沙咀聯合起來，整條鐵路網並不相通，只是一個"U"字型，我們很希望運輸及房屋局現時所說的北環線能實現，而這北環線也說了十多年二十年，麻煩當局盡快實行，將整個鐵路網變成互聯互通的架構，這樣才能解決鐵路現時擠迫和分流的問題。
At present the East Rail Line and the West Rail Line are being linked up at Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon presenting only a U - shaped network but the entire railway network is not fully linked up . We very much hope that the Northern Link mentioned by the Transport and Housing Bureau can be put in place . This Northern Link has been mentioned by the authorities for nearly 20 years and we hope that they can have this project implemented as soon as possible so that the entire railway network can be fully linked up in order to resolve the existing problems of crowdedness and passenger diversion
如何才有雙贏的局面，主席？
How can we have a win - win situation President?
便是發展局同樣可以有相應的房屋資源，以安置因發展而被清拆房屋的居民。
This situation can be reached if the Development Bureau has the corresponding housing resources to rehouse the residents whose homes were demolished due to development
我並非為局長擴權，而是令局長往後發展新區時，所面對的阻力減少。
I am not asking to broaden the authority of the Secretary but only hope that he will meet less resistance during future development of new districts
所以，局長應認真地考量這方面，即安置政策與房屋政策兩者要分開處理，才可以解決問題。
Hence the Secretary should seriously consider this issue . It is only when the rehousing policy is separated from the housing policy that the problem can be resolved . Secretary John LEE was sitting idly here this morning
雖然香港沒有遇到任何的恐怖襲擊，但我們不能在這方面掉以輕心。
Although no terrorist attack has happened in Hong Kong so far we should not be complacent
經常說恐怖襲擊的個案一宗也嫌多，而且在香港這個人煙稠密的地方，如果出現一宗恐怖襲擊，其實所造成的傷亡一定會非常、非常嚴重。
We always say that even one case of terrorist attack is just too many . In the densely populated place like Hong Kong if there is a case of terrorist attack the casualties are bound to be very serious
我記得在今年2月時，港鐵發生一宗縱火案，當然這宗案件並不是恐怖襲擊，但如果該宗案件是恐怖襲擊，所造成的傷亡和後果將非常嚴重。
I recall that in February this year there was an arson case in MTR which of course is not a terrorist attack . But if it were a terrorist attack the casualties and consequences would be highly serious
後來我製作了一張提示，告訴別人，原來"閃"是盡快遠離施襲者的視線，不要在發生事故的地方舉起手提電話拍照。
Later on I made a reminder telling other people that by Run people are advised to run out of the attackers line of sight and they should refrain from taking photographs or videos of the incident with their mobile phones
但是，主席，我作為保安事務委員會的主席，我自己也會忘記"閃避求"是甚麼意思，當然公眾人士可能較厲害，會記得當中的意思。
President even as Chairman of the Panel on Security I might forget the meaning of the rules Run Hide and Report . Of course the public may be smarter and will remember the meaning of the rules
然而，這印證了在市民的心目中，逃避恐怖襲擊或預防恐怖襲擊的概念，其實並不太深入民心。
Nevertheless this tells that the concept of getting away from or preventing a terrorist attack is actually not firmly embedded in the minds of the public
我留意到鄰近香港的地方，例如新加坡在其機場、地鐵站的電視屏幕均有顯示信息警告市民，要留意周邊的地方，如有人放下行李，而又沒有人認領時，市民便要向警察報案，或通知相關的人士；如果遇到一些形跡可疑的人士，大家要留意，並告訴在場的執法人員。
I notice that in Singapore a neighbouring country of Hong Kong there are messages constantly displayed on the television screens in its airport and Mass Rapid Transport stations warning the citizens to stay alert of their surroundings . If a suitcase has been left unclaimed the public should report to the police or inform the personnel concerned . If they notice any suspicious looking people they should stay alert and tell the law enforcement officers on the scene
如果從2月的縱火案來看，其實大家防範恐怖襲擊的概念相對較低。
Judging from the arson case in February the public awareness against terrorist attacks is comparatively weak
先讓大家猜謎語，哪個紀律部隊與天氣有關，負責土地測量、消防、護送一些重要人物、執法、反恐和搜救工作，局長？
Which disciplinary force has its duties related to weather and is responsible for land survey fire safety escorting of important people law enforcement counter - terrorism searching and rescuing work? . Secretary?
對的，主席，是政府飛行服務隊。
Yes President it is the Government Flying Service GFS
這個部門負責我剛才所說的差不多10項工作，但他們現 時面對人手流失，特別是機長和高級工程師的流失情況非常嚴重。
This disciplinary force is responsible for nearly 10 types of work that I just mentioned but is now facing manpower shortage especially in the positions of Pilots and Senior Aircraft Engineers
我記得我擔任政府帳目委員會成員時，審計署署長曾提交一份報告表示，飛行服務隊似乎在資源運用上做得不太好，大家也認為帳目委員會一定會責備，豈料卻剛好相反，提交的報告是稱讚飛行服務隊，並指政府在這方面提供的資源不足。
I recall that when I was a Member of the Public Accounts Committee PAC the Director of Audit has submitted a report saying that GFS seemed to be not doing well in the usage of resources . We thought that it would be criticized by PAC . On the contrary it is to our surprise that the report submitted was to commend GFS while criticizing the Government for not providing sufficient resources to GFS
所以，大家看到其實它的工作是獲得社會、市民和議會認同的。
We thus see that its work is actually recognized by society the public and this Council
但是，飛行務服隊現正面對挖角潮，如果我是一位機師，在飛行服務隊工作，月薪剛好超過10萬元；如駕駛私人飛機或在航空公司工作，月薪便有20多萬元。
However GFS is now facing the problem of headhunting by the private sector . If I were a Pilot of GFS my monthly salary would be just over 100,000 . But if I were a private pilot or worked for an airline company my monthly salary would be over 200,000 and I could go home or to the hotel to take a rest after driving the aircraft
如果在後者工作，駕駛飛機後便可回家或酒店休息，但飛行服務隊的同事不單要輪班，駕駛飛機後還要提交工作報告。
Nevertheless not only do the GFS colleagues have to work on shifts but they also have to submit their working reports after driving the aircraft
所以，即使一個有理想的人，有時候也要向現實低頭。
Hence even a person with aspirations may sometimes yield to reality
據我所知，最近也有三四位機師離職，如果這離職潮蔓延的話，其實對我剛才提及的服務，確實會有很大影響。
As I know three to four Pilots have resigned recently . If this wave of resignation spreads out it will have tremendous impact on the services that I mentioned earlier
而且，主席，要知道培訓一位機師不單是3年以上的事情，聽說也要8至10年。
Besides President we have to know that it takes not only three years but 8 to 10 years to train up a pilot
如果我們花了8至10年訓練出一位機師，然後卻送了給航空公司的話，那麼我們即是"為他人作嫁衣裳"。
If we have spent 8 to 10 years training up a pilot only to see him going to work for an airline company we are merely sewing the trousseau for somebody else
早前公務員事務局局長回應我這項問題時說，其實政府也有很多機師也是有服務人群的理念，但這點真的不足以挽留我們的人才。
In response to my question earlier the Secretary for the Civil Service said that many pilots in the Government are also devoted to serving the public . But this is really not enough to retain our personnel
所以，我希望局長能在這方面想出方法，讓飛行服務隊的同事除有士氣、責任感外，在經濟上也能與相關的行業可比較。
I therefore hope that the Secretary can think of some means to boost the morale of GFS colleagues develop their sense of responsibility and to provide the levels of remunerations which are comparable to those of similar positions in the private sector
代理主席，施政報告長達49,000字以上，但竟然沒有一個重要篇章，表達政府對紀律部隊專業盡責的工作表現的肯定，也未見政府有任何措施解決他們現時面對的問題，對晉升前景的憂慮，以及完善紀律部隊的薪酬和職系架構檢討。
Deputy President although this Policy Address is a lengthy one of more than 49 000 words not a single major chapter has been devoted to express the Governments recognition of the professional and conscientious performance of the disciplined services . The Government has also proposed no initiative to tackle the problems they are now facing address their concerns about their future career prospect and improve the salary and grade structures reviews for the disciplined services
所以，我要在這個辯論環節為香港的紀律部隊發聲。
I would therefore like to speak for the disciplined services of Hong Kong in this debate session
代理主席，社會急速變遷，今日的社會已跟以前不同，亦面對很多新的挑戰。
Deputy President in this era of rapid social changes our society nowadays is very much different from before and we are also facing a lot of new challenges
每一紀律部隊的工作均有其獨特性，在工作上亦會面對 不同困難，所以對每一紀律部隊應作出獨立的職系架構檢討。
An independent grade structure review should respectively be conducted for each disciplined service because the work of each disciplined service has its own uniqueness and each of them is faced with different difficulties
現有檢討早在超過20年前完成，已經不合時宜。
The existing review was completed more than 20 years ago and has become obsolete
若要提升紀律部隊士氣，令部隊人員可以有尊嚴地執行工作，要留住優秀紀律部隊之中的人才，請司長、局長聽取我們的意見，為每一紀律部隊進行獨立的職系架構檢討。
In order to boost the morale of the disciplined services enable disciplined services staff to execute their duties with dignity and retain talents in our excellent disciplined forces the Secretaries of Departments and Bureau Directors should listen to our advice and conduct an independent grade structure review for each disciplined service
有一些問題是所有紀律部隊均有向我反映的，例如他們希望有更多宿舍，因為現時輪候宿舍需時甚久，提供宿舍是留住人才其中一個相當重要的誘因，因為在外物色居所實在太難了。
Some concerns are shared by all disciplined forces such as their aspiration for the provision of more quarters since they are now required to wait for a very long time for allocation of quarters . Quarters allocation is one of the very important measures to retain talents because it is indeed very difficult to find a place for accommodation in the open market
政府不應帶頭分化他們，製造歧視，警隊人員應有統一的退休年齡。
The Government should not take the lead to create division and discrimination among police officers and their retirement age should be standardized
我得悉政府會為前線警務人員提供每人一部隨身攝錄機，相信這將有助紓緩警民衝突，亦可協助搜證，但到了2021年才可達到一人一機的目標，是否太遲？
I notice that the Government is now planning to provide each frontline police officer with a Body Worn Video Camera BWVC and consider this conducive to reducing clashes between the Police and the public as well as facilitating the collection of evidence . However would it be too late if the objective of providing each police officer with one BWVC could only be achieved by 2021?
消防處人員天天都要救火、救災、救人，工作的危險性極高，昨天才撲滅了一場大火，人人都做到筋疲力盡。
Staff of the Fire Services Department FSD are engaging in highly dangerous work every day because they are responsible for fighting against fire providing disaster relief and saving peoples lives and every one of them are completely exhausted after putting out a serious fire yesterday
他們一直以來的訴求，是希望可以提升為緊急紀律部隊。
The reinstatement of FSD as an emergency service has been their aspiration all along
救護員則感到長期被忽略，人手嚴重不足。
Ambulancemen feel that their needs have long been neglected and there is a serious shortage of manpower too
現時每年有超過70萬次緊急召喚，每年均有雙位數字的增長，但他們的人手僅為消防員的 三分之一，連收貨工作也要兼顧，不知公務員事務局局長是否知情？
At present they have to respond to over 700 000 emergency calls every year and a double - digit growth is recorded annually but their manpower establishment is only one third of the size of that of firemen . They are also required to take up the duty of receiving goods at the same time and does the Secretary for the Civil Service aware of the situation?
他們認為每隊最少應增加1名後勤人員，協助他們處理此類日常工作。
They consider it necessary to increase their manpower establishment by deploying at least one more back - up staff member to each team to assist in handling such daily duties
此外，現時救護車隊的數量不足以應付人口老化和醫院增加的需求。
Moreover our ambulance fleet at present does not have sufficient capacity to cope with the demand generated from an ageing population as well as the increase in the number of hospitals
根據消防處現時的標準，消防車須於6分鐘到達現場，而救護車則要12分鐘才可到達，為何會如此？
According to the standards adopted by FSD fire engines have to arrive at the scene within 6 minutes while ambulances should arrive within 12 minutes of the emergency calls but why is that so?
因此，他們要求獲納入《武器條例》和《火器及彈藥條例》的範圍，以便可管有槍械和彈藥，有效地管理該中心。
Hence it is their opinion that they should be included in the scope of application of the Weapons Ordinance Cap . 217 and the Firearms and Ammunition Ordinance Cap . 238 so that they will be allowed to possess firearms and ammunition thereby managing CIC effectively
在修訂《商品說明條例》後，海關每天均接獲大量有關不良營商手法的投訴，數目達每年數千宗，但處理投訴的隊伍卻只得100人，試問以100人之力如何能處理眾多投訴？
The Customs receives a large number of complaints about unfair trade practices every day after amendments have been made to the Trade Descriptions Ordinance and the number of complaints can amount to several thousands of cases every year . However there are only 100 officers in the team responsible for handling such complaints so how could it be possible for the Customs to deal with such a caseload with a workforce of only 100 officers?
