主席，我十分同意莫議員的說法，法例在1977年制定，隨着數十年的變化及網上世界的變化，由1980年至2006年已經作出多次修訂。
President I very much agree with the views of Mr MOK . The legislation was enacted in 1977 and it had been amended a few times from 1980 to 2006 to meet with the development and changes in the online world over the decades
我亦同意，因應科技的發展，如果法例有某些地方需要作出改動，我們表示歡迎，也會不時作出檢討。
In light of the development of science and technology we agree that it may be necessary to make changes to some legal provisions and we will conduct reviews from time to time
主席，從數字來看，只有1宗個案，但並不是謝議員所說的失敗個案，只是用了自簽守行為的方式處理。
President in terms of figures there was only one case but it was not an unsuccessful case as stated by Mr TSE; it was only handled by having the defendant bound over to be of good behaviour
雖然《賭博條例》在很多年前制定，部分議員亦認為已經過時，但其精神和效力是相當重要的。
Although the Gambling Ordinance was enacted many years ago and some Members considered it outdated its spirit and effectiveness are rather important
如果謝議員也同意禁止賭風是大家共同維護公共利益，我認為《賭博條例》仍然有效防範這種風氣蔓延。
If Mr TSE also agrees that deterring gambling is a public interest that we defend I think the Gambling Ordinance is still effective in preventing the spread of this atmosphere
大家要知道，網上店鋪取締實體店的情況已經發生。
We must know that online shops are now replacing physical shops
邵議員剛才提出，在申請牌照的過程中可能遇到各種問題，其實牌照事務處可以與商戶商討如何解決問題。
Mr SHIU has just said that problems may be encountered in the process of applying for a licence; in fact OLA can discuss with operators how to solve the problems
主席，當然我不贊成賭風，但我們明白到，政府的政策是，如果賭博與慈善有關，則賭馬和足球博彩都沒有問題，賭注多大都可以。
President of course I disapprove of gambling but our understanding of the Governments policy is that if gambling is associated with charity there are no problems with horse racing betting and soccer betting regardless of the amounts of bets placed
我剛才的補充質詢的核心是，如果賭博並非為賭而賭，而是有助推廣生意，為何賭博加慈善OK，但賭博加商業為主則不OK？
The core of my supplementary question is that if gambling is not held for the sake of gambling but for business promotion why is it not permissible while gambling for charity purpose is permissible?
主席，我會再請相關同事向邵議員詳細解釋。
President I would ask the staff members concerned to explain matters in detail to Mr SHIU
在2017年6月21日的會議休會前，本會已就三讀《2017年稅務條例草案》展開辯論。
Before the adjournment of the meeting of 21 June 2017 this Council had commenced the Third Reading debate on the Inland Revenue Amendment No . 2 Bill 2017
本會現在繼續進行該項辯論。
We now continue with the debate
主席，根據輸入內地人才計劃，具備香港所需而又缺乏的特別技能、知識或經驗的內地居民可申請來港工作。
President under the Admission Scheme for Mainland Talents and Professionals ASMTP Mainland residents who possess special skills knowledge or experience of value to and not readily available in Hong Kong may apply to come to work in Hong Kong
申請條件之一是申請人須證明已獲香港僱主聘用。
One of the eligibility criteria is that the applicants have to prove that they have already got an offer of employment from a Hong Kong employer
據報，有內地移民顧問公司涉嫌為協助內地居民獲批來港居留，建議他們向輸入計劃提出申請，並表示可安排香港公司假冒其準僱主，但申請人抵港後無需到該等公司工作。
It has been reported that some Mainland immigration consultants have for the purpose of helping Mainland residents to obtain approval for residing in Hong Kong allegedly suggested them submit applications under ASMTP and indicated that they could arrange Hong Kong companies to pass off as their potential employers but the applicants need not work for these companies upon arrival in Hong Kong
關於內地居民申請來港工作，政府可否告知本會：一當局有否掌握本港及內地的移民顧問公司為輸入計劃申請人安排假僱主的情況；若有，當局就此採取的執法行動的詳情為何；若否，原因為何；及二當局有否掌握內地居民透過訛稱已受香港僱主聘用，或其他違法手段獲批來港工作的最新情況；若有，當局就此採取的執法行動的詳情為何，包括會如何徹查及處理有關的個案，以及有何措施杜絕此類罪案；若否，原因為何？
Regarding the applications from Mainland residents for coming to work in Hong Kong will the Government inform this Council 1 whether the authorities have grasped the situation of Hong Kong and Mainland immigration consultants arranging nominal employers for ASMTP applicants; if so of the details of the law enforcement actions taken in this regard by the authorities; if not the reasons for that; and 2 whether the authorities have grasped the latest situation of Mainland residents obtaining approval to come to work in Hong Kong by falsely claiming that they have already got an offer of employment from a Hong Kong employer or by other illegal means; if so of the details of the law enforcement actions taken in this regard by the authorities including how such cases will be thoroughly investigated and handled as well as the measures to eradicate such kind of crimes; if not the reasons for that?
主席，鑒於部分不良中介顧問公司的總部設在內地，請問局長可否透露，當局是否已協同內地執法部門一起打擊相關的不良公司？
President as some unscrupulous intermediaries or immigration consultants are Mainland - based can the Secretary reveal to us whether the authorities have coordinated with the relevant law enforcement agencies in the Mainland for taking joint actions against these unscrupulous intermediaries?
主席，我首先感謝黎局長過往對香港作出的貢獻。
President first of all I would like to thank Secretary LAI Tung - kwok for his past contribution to Hong Kong
他帶領他的團體維持香港的公共秩序，使香港成為世界上最安全的城市之一。
Under his leadership his team has been maintaining law and order in Hong Kong and made Hong Kong one of the safest cities in the world
主席，中央政府有意打造粵港澳大灣區，香港應該掌握國家的規劃意向，配合國家發展，並透過這個機遇免致被"邊緣化"和增加本身的競爭力。
President the Central Government is planning to develop the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area . As such we should grasp the nations planning intention and fit in its development so that Hong Kong can avoid being marginalized and increase our competitiveness by capitalizing on the opportunities presented by the project
各地之間的人才流動能夠互補不足，對整個規劃非常重要。
As far as the overall planning of the project is concerned it is of vital importance to ensure the free flow of talents among various places to achieve complementarity
我想問政府會否完善輸入計劃的審查機制，並確保有關的改動不會拖慢人才來港的程序，因而減慢香港在規劃中的發展？
I would like to ask whether the Government will enhance the vetting mechanism of ASMTP and ensure that there is no delay in the importation of talents to Hong Kong as it may stall our development under planning
正如局長剛才提到，不良中介公司輸入"假專才"屬違法，最高刑罰為罰款15萬元及入獄14年。
As just mentioned by the Secretary it is an offence for unscrupulous intermediaries to import fake talents to Hong Kong and offenders are liable to a maximum fine of 150,000 and imprisonment for 14 years
然而，工會最關注的是輸入計劃會否被濫用？
But the labour unions are most concerned about whether ASMTP may give rise to abuse
當然，局長剛才亦表示審批相關申請有5項準則，其中一項是薪酬福利須與當時本港專才的市場薪酬福利大致相同。
Surely the Secretary also told us a moment ago that the applications would be assessed according to five criteria and one of which is that the remuneration package should be broadly commensurate with the prevailing market level for professionals in Hong Kong
主席，我很感謝黎局長及其團隊在過去數年一直為香港默默耕耘，令香港成為全世界最安全的地方之一。
President I would like to express my gratitude to Secretary LAI Tung - kwok and his team . Because of their behind - the - scene efforts over the past few years Hong Kong has remained one of the safest places in the world
正如剛才有議員提到，不斷有國內專才透過輸入計劃來港，而世界各地其實亦正採取各種措施，吸引專才移居當地。
As some Members have just mentioned Mainland talents have been entering Hong Kong for employment under ASMTP while different places in the world have also adopted various measures to attract talents through immigration
當局會否因應現時的最新情況，考慮堵塞漏洞的做法？
Will the Administration after taking into account the latest situation consider plugging the loophole?
第二，有議員問到為何要提供這種稅務優惠或特別稅務安排？
Secondly some Members have raised the following queries Why is it necessary to provide the said concessions or implement the special tax regime?
正如我在二讀辯論的總結發言中指出，過去香港並非沒有先例，就着某些行業，又或是剛才鍾國斌議員提到的新興行業，我們為了要吸引它們來香港落戶，亦有提供半額稅率優惠的先例。
As I pointed out in my concluding speech during the Second Reading debate on the Bill there were precedent cases in Hong Kong where half rate that is 50 % tax concessions had been offered to specific industries or emerging industries as just pointed out by Mr CHUNG Kwok - pan so as to attract them to establish their presence in Hong Kong
有些議員都知道這些例子，包括再保險業務、專屬自保保險業務、企業財資中心等。
Some Members are also aware of these examples including reinsurance business captive insurance business and corporate treasury centres
另外，為了鼓勵債券市場的發展，政府亦對符合資格的債務票據所獲得的利息或收益，給予半額稅率優惠。
Moreover to promote the development of the bond market half rate tax concessions have also been offered for interest income and trading profits arising from qualifying debt instruments
因此，我們建議為飛機租賃行業提供半額稅率優惠，並非是特別向某個行業傾斜，過去亦有先例。
Hence in proposing to offer half rate tax concessions for the aircraft leasing industry we are not being favourable to a particular industry . There are also precedent cases in the past
此外，香港也是一個專業服務樞紐。
Hong Kong is also a professional services hub
因此，代理主席，我希望議員能夠從比較前瞻和着重大局的角度考慮這項《條例草案》，不要說即使我們增強了競爭力，人家也會增強競爭力，這樣做還有意思嗎？
For the above reasons Deputy President I hope Members can consider this Bill from a more forward - looking perspective bearing in mind the overall interest of society . They should not take the view that it is pointless to increase our competitiveness because our competitors will also do the same
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：《2017年稅務 條例草案》，予以三讀並通過。
I now put the question to you and that is That the Inland Revenue Amendment No . 2 Bill 2017 be read the Third time and do pass
主席，首先，我要感謝法案委員會主席易志明議員及其他委員，以及秘書處和法律顧問的努力，令審議《2017年道 路交通條例草案》的工作得以順利完成。
President first of all I have to thank Mr Frankie YICK Chairman and other members of the Bills Committee the Legislative Council Secretariat and the Legal Adviser for their efforts to facilitate the completion of the scrutiny of the Road Traffic Amendment Bill 2017 the Bill
剛才有9位議員發言提出了各方面的意見，我稍後會回應。
Nine Members spoke on the Bill just now . I will respond to their various views later
正如我在今年4月動議二讀時指出，《條例草案》的主要目的，是修改《道路交通條例》下"巴士"及"小型巴士"的定義，將小巴的座位上限由現時16個增加至19個這一點在詳題中亦寫得很清楚以增加公共小巴的整體可載客量。
As I pointed out when the Second Reading of the Bill was moved in April this year the main purpose of the Bill is to revise the definitions of bus and light bus under the Road Traffic Ordinance so as to increase the maximum passenger seating capacity of light buses from 16 to 19―which has been stated very clearly in the long title . The aim is to increase the total carrying capacity of public light buses PLBs
小巴對上一次增加座位數目差不多是在30年前，即1988年，當時由原來的14座增加至16座。
The seating capacity of light buses was last increased almost 30 years ago ie . in 1988 when the number of seats was increased from the former 14 to 16
在香港的公共交通系統中，公共小巴的角色定位是提供輔助接駁服務，以及為乘客較少或不適宜使用高載客量交通工具的地區提供服務。
In the public transport system of Hong Kong the role of PLBs is to provide supplementary feeder service and to serve areas with relatively low passenger demand or where the use of high - capacity transport modes is not suitable
雖然公共小巴服務的供求情況在過去數年大致平穩按照當局向立法會提供的數字顯示，公共小巴目前平均整體載客率在非繁忙時段是四成左右但我們留意到在繁忙時段，乘客需求一般而言確實有所增加，而一些專線小巴路線在繁忙時段更出現服務供不應求的情況。
The demand and supply of PLB services have remained generally stable over the past few years . According to the figures provided by the authorities to the Legislative Council the overall average occupancy rate of PLBs during non - peak periods is about 40 % . However we have noticed that passenger demand during peak periods has actually increased in general and services of some green minibuses GMBs routes are even insufficient to cope with demand during peak periods
經全面研究檢視後，政府認為有必要增加小巴座位數目，使之對滿足繁忙時段乘客需求方面，能夠發揮較大作用。
After a comprehensive study and examination the Government considered it necessary to increase the seating capacity of light buses so that they can play a better role in meeting passenger demand during peak periods
這樣做亦可改善小巴營辦商的營運情況，讓他們較有條件改善司機的待遇。
This will also improve the operational conditions of light bus operators who can thus be in a better position to improve the remuneration of drivers
在過去立法會交通事務委員會及今次法案委員會的會議上，政府已多次解釋，在研究及決定合適的座位上限時，既考慮公共小巴服務的供求情況，亦需要致力維持各種公共交通服務之間得來不易的生態平衡所指的不同交通服務亦不僅限於剛才議員提及的其他交通工具並使其各自有所發展，藉以為廣大乘客提供多元選擇。
At previous meetings of the Legislative Council Panel on Transport the Panel and the Bills Committee on Road Traffic Amendment Bill 2017 the Government has repeatedly explained that when exploring and deciding on the appropriate maximum seating capacity it has to consider the demand and supply of PLBs; and strive to maintain the delicate balance amongst various public transport services including but not limited to the other transport modes mentioned by Members just now and foster their respective developments so as to provide diversified choices for the travelling public
將小巴座位上限只增加至19個，是政府非常清晰的政策原意和立法原意，亦反映在《條例草案》的詳題中。
Increasing the maximum seating capacity of light buses to 19 is an explicit policy intent and legislative intent of the Government which has also been reflected in the long title of the Bill
正如《條例草案》的立法會參考資料摘要第11段中指出，政府的研究結果顯示，增加座位至19個已可顯著改善目前在最繁忙時段專線小巴服務不足的情況，以及改善專線小巴營辦商的營運環境。
As set out in paragraph 11 of the Legislative Council Brief on the Bill the findings of government study suggest that the situation of GMB service shortage during the peakiest one hour can be significantly improved by increasing the number of seats to 19 and the operating environment of GMB operators can also be improved
以在最繁忙時段出現留後乘客的專線小巴路線比率而言，在把座位數目由16個增加至19個的情況下，每增加一個座位能平均減少該比率11個百分點。
In terms of the ratio of GMB routes with left - behind passengers during the peakiest one hour with each seat increased from 16 to 19 seats the ratio can be reduced by an average of 11 percentage points
不過，在19個座位之後再增加的邊際比率只會很輕微，只是達到2至3個百分點。
However the marginal reduction in the ratio for each seat increased beyond 19 seats would only be an insignificant 2 to 3 percentage points
從整體規劃角度考慮，我們不能單單以公共小巴在最繁忙時段的需求來決定整體小巴座位上限。
From the perspective of overall planning we cannot decide on the overall maximum seating capacity of light buses simply based on the demand and supply of PLBs during the peakiest one hour
香港各類公共交通工具和相關服務相當發達，存在不同程度的良性競爭，因此我們亦須審慎評估增加公共小巴座位上限的數目對其他公共交通業界的影響，以確保公共交通服務之間的生態平衡及角色互補得以合理地維持。
As the various well - developed public transport modes and related services in Hong Kong are facing different degrees of competition we have to carefully review the impact of an increase in the maximum seating capacity of PLBs on other public transport trades so as to ensure that the delicate balance and complementary roles amongst various public transport services can be maintained
這樣，整體公共交通服務才能持續健康發展，提供多元選擇，惠及市民。
In this way the overall public transport services can develop in a sustainable and healthy manner and diversified choices can be provided to benefit the community
剛才易志明議員在辯論中提到，對於一些沒有專營巴士提供服務的路線，可否由專線小巴提供服務？
In his speech just now Mr Frankie YICK raised the question of whether GMBs can provide services for those routes which are not being served by franchised buses
其實，運輸署過去曾經考慮在巴士路線重組後，部分原先乘坐巴士的乘客可以改乘公共小巴，以增加公共小巴的乘客需求量。
In fact according to TDs previous consideration upon bus route rationalization some passengers originally taking buses may switch to PLBs resulting in a rise in the passenger demand for PLBs
因應專線小巴業界的要求，運輸署亦曾積極研究，將一些乘客量較低的巴士路線改由專線小巴經營的可行性。
In response to the request of the GMB trade TD has also actively studied the feasibility of converting certain bus routes of lower patronage into GMB routes
運輸署亦曾因應地區人士的要求，研究將需求量較高的專線小巴路線改為專營巴士路線，希望兩者之間盡量發揮其作用。
TD has also studied the feasibility of converting some GMB routes with high passenger demand to franchised bus routes having regard to the requests of members of the local community in the hope that the two service modes can complement each other as far as practicable
不過，兩者在施行上均面對不少問題，包括在繁忙和非繁忙時段的班次安排、行車時間、車站位置、有關車輛是否可供輪椅乘客使用，以及票價水平等。
However both proposals face quite a number of implementation problems such as the service frequency during peak and non - peak periods journey time locations of the stops whether the vehicles are wheelchair - accessible and the fare level etc
張超雄議員提到應如何推動公共小巴方便長者和行動不便乘客使用的問題，我想就兩點作出回應。
Dr Fernando CHEUNG has raised the issue regarding how to enhance the accessibility of PLBs for the elderly and passengers with impaired mobility . I have two points to make in response
首先，香港現時確實未有公共小巴營辦商採用可供輪椅上落的低地台車輛。
First none of the PLB operators in Hong Kong is currently adopting low - floor wheelchair - accessible vehicles indeed
因此，為了便利有需要人士使用公共小巴服務，運輸署已經與業界跟進，物色適合在香港使用、可供輪椅上落的低地台新小巴車種，並將之引進合適的醫院路線作為測試。
Hence in order to facilitate access to PLB services by persons in need TD has been working with the trade to follow up on identifying new low - floor wheelchair - accessible PLB models suitable for use in Hong Kong and introducing them for trial runs at suitable hospital routes
這是個測試，在小量合適的路線試行這個車種後，確定有關車輛適合在香港路面行駛和作為公共小巴營運，我們會進一步考慮要求部分公共小巴營辦商採用。
This is only a pilot test . Once the trial runs of such vehicle models on the few suitable routes have ascertained that the vehicles concerned are suitable for use on Hong Kong roads and in PLB operations we will further consider requiring some PLB operators to use them
所以，我們對推廣無障礙運輸的目標沒有改變；當然，在具體實施步伐上，我們要多與不同持份者溝通。
Hence our goal to promote Transport for All has not changed . Of course we still have to communicate with various stakeholders regarding the pace of specific implementation
我們現在建議只增加小巴的座位上限，而不增加公共小巴車輛總數的法定上限，即4,350輛，好處是可以在無需增加車流的情況下，比較有效地回應繁忙時段的乘客需求、縮短繁忙時段乘客的候車時間。
What we are proposing is to increase only the seating capacity of PLBs but not the statutory cap of 4 350 PLBs . The proposal is desirable in that without generating additional traffic flow the passenger demand during peak periods can be met more effectively and the waiting time of passengers during peak periods can be shortened
在這新的上限下，營辦商日後可因應其營辦路線的實際營運情況和乘客需求，自行決定是否增加旗下小巴的座位，以及確實增加的座位數目和實施時間。
Under the new cap operators may take into account the operational conditions and passenger demand so as to decide on their own in future whether to increase the seating capacity of their PLBs and if so the exact number of additional seats and the time of implementation
此彈性安排可令營辦商保持靈活性。
This flexible arrangement will maintain the flexibility of operators
我們今次的研究亦顯示，近年市場對私家小巴，尤其是學校私家小巴的需求亦有增加趨勢，預計在中、短期會有所持續。
Findings of our study also show an increasing market demand for private light buses in recent years particularly school private light buses . This trend is expected to continue in the medium and short term
因此，我們建議私家小巴的座位上限亦應增加至19個，以照顧乘客需求。
Hence we recommend that the maximum seating capacity of private light buses also be increased to 19 to cater for passenger demand
小巴19個座位上限的建議是經過多次與不同業界溝通後，我們認為是一個適當平衡多方考慮的結果，亦是各公共交通業界皆可接受的方案。
In our view the proposal to increase the maximum seating capacity of light buses to 19 which has been made after close communications with various trades is an outcome which has properly balanced the considerations of various stakeholders as well as an option acceptable to all public transport trades
這一點在過去立法會交通事務委員會及審議《條例草案》的法案委員會上，政府已作出詳細交代。
The Government has given a detailed account in this regard at the Panel and the Bills Committee formed to scrutinize the Bill
在事務委員會及法案委員會的討論過程中，確實有不同議員曾提出應否再進一步，增加多1個座位，但經過政府充分解釋當中的考慮後，法案委員會最後在完成審議《條例草案》時也同意政府提出的19個座位方案。
During the discussions at the Panel and the Bills Committee various Members have in fact questioned whether it was necessary to go further by adding one more seat . However after the Government has fully explained its considerations therein in detail the Bills Committee has also endorsed the 19 - seat option proposed by the Government on completion of its scrutiny of the Bill
這一點剛才易志明議員亦有說明。
Mr Frankie YICK also explained this point just now
假如當時法案委員會不支持政府或不同意這方案，政府亦別無選擇，唯有重新再向各個公共交通業界進行諮詢。
Had the Bills Committee opposed the proposal or disagreed with the Government the Government would have had no alternative but to once again consult various public transport trades
因此，在法案委員會會議上，政府已承諾日後會對公共小巴在增加至19個座位後的使用和營運情況，作出檢視。
Hence the Government has pledged at the meetings of the Bills Committee to review the use and operational conditions of PLBs in future after the increase in the seating capacity to 19
這項工作會在明年展開的定期小巴使用率市場研究中一併進行。
This review would be conducted in tandem with the regular study on the market occupancy rate of light buses to be launched next year
到2022年，當檢討現有公共小巴4,350輛法定車輛數目上限時，亦會再作一次檢視。
When the authorities review the statutory cap of 4 350 PLBs in 2022 the maximum seating capacity will also be reviewed
我們在法案委員會上作出的承諾，我們必定會跟進。
We will definitely follow up on the pledges made at the Bills Committee
所以，議員大可放心，如果檢視結果顯示供求情況有變，令增加小巴座位數目上限至20個的效益能夠大幅提升，而同時各公共交通服務之間的生態平衡經與業界諮詢和溝通後能夠得到妥善處理，屆時政府將樂意和議員再一同商議應否把小巴座位數目上限增加至20個。
Members can thus rest assured . If the review findings indicate a change in demand and supply which will significantly raise the efficiency of an increase of the seating capacity to 20 and at the same time provided that the delicate balance amongst various public transport services can be properly handled after consulting and communicating with the trades then the Government will be pleased to discuss with Members again as to whether the maximum seating capacity should be increased to 20
有議員提到，現時市場上已有一個公共小巴車款在技術上可容納20個座位。
Some Members have pointed out that a PLB model which can technically accommodate 20 seats is currently available in the market
正如剛才法案委員會主席易志明議員所提及，政府與法案委員會經深入討論後達成共識，在《條例草案》通過後，除了剛才提到檢視公共小巴在增加座位後的使用情況外，政府亦會就即將推行的低地台公共小巴試驗計劃，以及業界對專線小巴安裝安全帶佩戴感應器的意見，作出分析和評估。
As mentioned by Mr Frankie YICK Chairman of the Bills Committee earlier on the Government and the Bills Committee will reach a consensus after in - depth discussion . On passage of the Bill in addition to reviewing the utilization of PLBs after the increase in seating capacity as mentioned just now the Government will also conduct an analysis and assessment on the upcoming pilot scheme on low - floor wheelchair - accessible PLBs and the views of the trade on installing seat belt sensors on GMBs
一旦工作完成，我們會盡快向立法會匯報。
Once the work is completed we will expeditiously report to the Legislative Council
主席，小巴座位上限在過去差不多30年從未有增加，當中固然涉及很多複雜的因素和考慮；現時有所突破，將座位上限由16個增加至19個的建議實在得來不易。
President the maximum seating capacity of light buses has not been increased for almost 30 years . There are certainly many complicated factors and considerations involved . There is a breakthrough now; and the proposal to increase the maximum seating capacity from 16 to 19 is indeed not easy to come by
我懇請各位議員支持《條例草案》，讓營辦商能夠盡快增加旗下小巴的座位數目，以回應繁忙時段的乘客需求。
I call on Members to support the Bill which will enable operators to increase the seating capacity of their light buses so as to meet passenger demand during peak periods
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：《2017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 2017 be read the Second time
《2017年道路交通條例草案》。
Road Traffic Amendment Bill 2017
主席， 《2017年道路交通條例草案》 無經修正已通過全體委員會審議階段。
President the Road Traffic Amendment Bill 2017 has passed through the Committee stage without amendment
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：《2017年道路交通條例草案》予以三讀並通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the Road Traffic Amendment Bill 2017 be read the Third time and do pass
為了在港珠澳大橋通車後，妥善管理使用香港口岸和香港連接路的車輛，政府會採取合適的交通安排。
In order to properly manage vehicles using the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities and the Hong Kong Link Road HKLR upon the commissioning of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge the Government will adopt appropriate traffic arrangements
我們有需要對相關交通法例作出技術性修訂，為有關交通安排提供法律基礎。
Technical amendments to the relevant transport - related legislation are necessary to provide a legal basis for such traffic arrangements
現時違反第374Q章規例中部分行車規定的定額罰款，載列於《定額罰款條例》的附表。
At present the fixed penalties for contravention of some of the driving requirements in Cap . 374Q are set out in the Schedule to the Fixed Penalty Ordinance Cap . 240
隨着上述對第374Q章規 例的修訂，我們須對第240章的附表作出相應的修改，包括修訂相關的現行罪行項目編號和描述，以及參照現行規定，引入適用於香港連接路的罪行，以確保行車安全，保障相關道路使用者。
In tandem with the aforesaid amendments to Cap . 374Q we need to make consequential amendments to the Schedule to Cap . 240 including amendments to the relevant item numbers and descriptions of existing offences and to introduce appropriate offences in respect of HKLR by reference to existing requirements so as to ensure road safety and protect relevant road users
有關的立法會小組委員會已完成審議包括上述第374Q章規例及第240章附表的修訂。
The relevant Legislative Council subcommittee has finished scrutinizing the legislative amendments including the aforesaid amendments to Cap . 374Q and the Schedule to Cap . 240
我在此特別感謝陳恒鑌主席所領導的小組委員會，對有關修訂作出了詳細的審議。
I would like to extend my special thanks to the subcommittee under the chairmanship of Mr CHAN Han - pan for its meticulous scrutiny of the amendments
