據此，在立法會換屆選舉後的首次會議上作出的立法會議員宣誓，而當時並未選舉立法會主席，則依法須由立法會秘書監誓。
As such the taking of oaths by Legislative Council Members at the first sitting after a general election and before the election of the President of the Council shall be administered by the Clerk to the Council in accordance with law
根據《基本法》第一百零四條，"香港特別行政區......立法會議員......在就職時必須......
According to Article 104 of the Basic Law [w]hen assuming office members of the Legislative Council in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region must swear to uphold the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China and swear allegiance to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China
宣誓擁護中華人民共和國香港特別行政區基本法，效忠中華人民共和國香港特別行政區"。而《基本法》第七十一條則訂明"香港特別行政區立法會主席由立法會議員互選產生"。
Article 71 of the Basic Law also provides that [t]he President of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be elected by and from among the members of the Legislative Council
立法會議員互選主席是行使《基本法》授予的憲制權力。
The election of President by Legislative Council Members from among themselves is an exercise of their constitutional power conferred by the Basic Law
如立法會議員未按照《基本法》第一百零四條進行合法有效宣誓，便不得就任相應公職，亦不得行使相應職權。
If a Member of the Legislative Council fails to lawfully and validly take his or her oath under Article 104 of the Basic Law no corresponding public office shall be assumed and no corresponding powers and functions shall be exercised
立法會《議事規則》第121及2條訂明在立法會每屆任期首次會議上，議員須按照《議事規則》第1條的規定作宗教式或非宗教式宣誓。
Rule 121 and 2 of the Rules of Procedure RoP of the Legislative Council stipulate that at the first meeting of a term Members shall make or subscribe an oath or affirmation as provided for under RoP 1
在所有出席會議的議員作宣誓後，須按照《議事規則》第4條規定的程序進行立法會主席的選舉。
After all Members present have made or subscribed an oath or affirmation the election of the President shall be conducted in accordance with the procedure as provided for under RoP 4
如上所述，根據《條例》第19a條，立法會議員在緊接立法會全體議員普通選舉後的立法會會期首次會議上而又於選舉立法會主席之前作出誓言，須由立法會秘書監誓。
As mentioned above according to section 19a of the Ordinance if a Member of the Legislative Council takes the oath at the first sitting of the session of the Legislative Council immediately after a general election of all Members of the Council and before the election of the President of the Council the oath shall be administered by the Clerk to the Council
《解釋》旨在重申及明確解述《基本法》第一百零四條的含意，並沒有修改其內容或立法原意。
The Interpretation aims to reiterate and explain clearly the meaning of Article 104 of the Basic Law . No change has been made to the content or the legislative intent of the Article
《解釋》中有關監誓人的條文，並沒有增減監誓人的權力，而是更清楚地說明監誓人的責任。
The provision in the Interpretation concerning the person administering the oath does not increase or diminish his or her powers but rather gives a clearer elucidation of his or her duties
政府現階段正在審視與《解釋》相關的跟進工作。
The Government is examining the follow - up work in connection with the Interpretation
若然要改變現行法律對立法會宣誓的要求和安排，應先作通盤周詳的考慮，包括是否必須修改法例、修改法例會否令落實相關安排的工作更清晰、更妥當等。
If there is a need to change the requirements and arrangements under the existing law for oath taking by the Legislative Council Members comprehensive and holistic consideration should first be given to aspects including whether it is necessary to amend the law and whether the work for implementing the relevant arrangements will be made more clearly and effectively by legislative amendments etc
政府認為有議員未完成宣誓，提出司法覆核但法庭仍未受理，那政府是否視他們為議員？
The Government has applied for judicial reviews against Members whom it considers as having failed to finish their oaths but the court has not yet granted its leave . That being the case does the Government treat them as Members?
政府表示，其一貫立場是只會回應已依法妥為宣誓的議員，我相信特首也收到這項法律意見。
The Government indicates that its consistent position is that it will only reply to Members who have properly taken their oaths in accordance with law . I believe the Chief Executive must also have received this piece of legal opinion
可是，特首代表政府回應時表示，他覺得不至於拒絕提問，我對此又不大明白。
But then when the Chief Executive made a reply on behalf of the Government he indicated that the Government should not go so far as to refuse to take questions . I am perplexed in this regard
如果是依法辦事，政府要麼就回應，要麼就不回應，但現在特首卻表示不至於......
If the Government acts in accordance with law it should either reply or refuse to reply to them but now the Chief Executive said that the Government should not go so far as to
主席，我已仔細看過主體質詢，但不大理解田議員的補充質詢與主體質詢有何關係。
President I have thoroughly examined the main question but I do not quite understand the relationship between Mr Michael TIENs supplementary question and the main question
在過去4年，政府一方面推出多項措施增加房屋供應，同時亦推出多項樓市"辣招"遏抑樓價，希望幫助市民"上車"。
In the past four years the Government introduced a number of measures to increase housing supply on the one hand and a number of curb measures to suppress property prices on the other in the hope of helping members of the public achieve home ownership
然而，自2012年至今，本港樓價已經累積上升約五成，10月份私人住宅售價指數更逼近歷史高位。
Nonetheless from 2012 to date property prices in Hong Kong have increased by about 50 % and the private property price index for October was close to a record high
新落成樓宇以"太空艙"、"劏房豪宅"等奇形怪式相繼出現，以致市民越住越細。
Flats in new buildings are now being built as capsules or luxury subdivided units meaning that the living space for the public has become smaller and smaller
至於公屋平均輪候時間更延長至4.5年，與當初"3年上樓"的願景差距甚遠。
In respect of the Waiting List for Public Rental Housing PRH the average waiting time is now 4.5 years which is a far cry from the ideal of three years in the beginning
根據政府數據顯示，最新一手私樓單位潛在供應為93,000個，是自2004年以來最多；而自2013年至今，政府累積售出88幅住宅用地，數目遠多於2006年至2011年間的54幅住宅用地。
According to the latest government statistics the projected private flat supply is 93 000 a record high since 2004 . From 2013 to date a total of 88 residential sites have been sold by the Government far exceeding the 54 residential sites sold from 2006 to 2011
在政府連番"出招"下，樓宇供應量確實有所增加，但很可惜，樓宇供應量增加不但無法紓緩樓價升勢，反而引申"蚊型"單位的出現，以及人均居住面積持續下降，情況令人擔憂。
With successive measures launched by the Government housing supply has indeed increased . But regrettably the increase in housing supply not only fails to arrest the upward trend of property prices but also leads to the emergence of mini flats as well as the declining average living space per person . The situation is worrying
近年，本港小型單位佔新樓單位供應量比例大增。
In recent years the ratio of newly - built small flats in Hong Kong has increased significantly
在2009年，新落成細單位佔整體落成單位僅5.2%。
In 2009 small flats only accounted for 5.2 % of the overall housing production
不過，今年首3季就有約2,500個細單位落成，佔總單位落成量兩成三，數字反映市民越住越細。
But in the first three quarters of this year some 2 500 small flats will be completed accounting for 23 % of the overall housing production . It is clear from these figures that the living space of the public is getting smaller and smaller
猶記得，行政長官在2013年施政報告中，以及當年3月訪問天津時，均提到政府需要透過長遠宏觀規劃，令港人"住得寬敞些"。
I can still recall that in the 2013 Policy Address as well as during his visit to Tianjin in March the same year the Chief Executive said on both occasions that the Government must improve the living space for Hong Kong people through long - term macro planning
然而，3年過去，情況不但沒有改善，現在更有惡化跡象。
But three years have passed the situation has not improved and there are even signs of worsening
許多發展商紛紛推出只有百多二百呎的"蚊型盤"、"劏盤"，務求壓低購買門檻，吸引市民"上車"，亦可將平均呎價提高，增加利潤。
Many developers are now putting up mini flats or subdivided flats with no more than 200 sq ft for sale in the market . The developers are lowering the purchase threshold in order to attract first - time buyers while increasing their own profits through a higher per - square - foot price
最近，更有樓盤的最細單位面積只有128呎，甚至小於一個標準車位。
Recently the smallest flat in one property development is only 128 sq ft which is even smaller than a standard parking space
早前，香港中文大學有研究更發現，"劏房戶"的人均居住面積僅得47.8呎，比監獄囚犯倉的人均標準空間49.5呎都不如。
Earlier a research conducted by The Chinese University of Hong Kong revealed that the average living space per person for households in subdivided units is only 47.8 sq ft even less than the 49.5 sq ft for a standard prison cell
對比其他已發展地區和國家，香港人均居住面積的細小程度令人咋舌，更與行政長官的願景南轅北轍。
Compared to other developed economies and countries the average living space per person in Hong Kong is surprisingly small not to mention that the situation is poles apart from the Chief Executives vision
據統計，私樓的實用面積在過去32年平均只增長6%，香港的人均居住面積只有179呎，比上海、台北、新加坡、東京等亞洲主要城市都要細。
According to statistics the saleable area of private housing has only increased by 6 % on average over the past 32 years . The average living space per person in Hong Kong is only 179 sq ft which is smaller than that in other major Asian countries such as Shanghai Taipei Singapore and Tokyo
在這些城市中，台北的人均居住面積比香港大一倍有多。
Among those cities the average living space per person in Taipei doubles that in Hong Kong
新加坡雖與香港同為面積較小的城市，但居民的居住環境比香港舒適得多。
While Singapore and Hong Kong are both small cities the living conditions in Singapore are much better than Hong Kong
根據新加坡建屋發展局年報，組屋住戶人均居住面積可達298呎。
According to the annual report of the Housing and Development Board HDB of Singapore the average living space per person for HDB households can be as much as 298 sq ft
現時，不少海外地區都已制訂人均居住面積的最低標準，並輔以不同的罰則及誘導機制。
Meanwhile many overseas places have enacted legislation to provide for a minimum standard of average living space per person which is also supplemented by various penalty and incentive mechanisms
例如，英國政府上月初提出訂立法定的最低房間面積為不可小於約70呎，否則出租的業主將觸犯刑事法例。
For example early last month the British government proposed that the statutory national minimum bedroom size should be no less than 70 sq ft or else the landlord would be guilty of a criminal offence
事實上，香港現時僅有公屋才設有人均最低居住面積為75呎的標準。
In fact in Hong Kong the average living space of 75 sq ft per person is only applicable to PRH units and no such standard applies for private housing
既然政府連整體人均居住面積數據都未能掌握，還談甚麼制訂面積標準，令港人住得更寬敞？
If the Government does not even have any data on the overall average living space per person in Hong Kong how can it formulate a floor area standard or improve the living space for Hong Kong people?
有鑒於此，我建議政府應仿效外地，制訂最低居住面積。
As such I suggest that the Government should make reference to overseas practices to formulate a standard for minimum living space
政府亦應盡快掌握市民的住屋數據，成立全面的"土地資料庫"，並根據統計資料制訂相應政策，改善居住質素，還市民一個最基本的居住尊嚴。
The Government should also take actions expeditiously to obtain the housing data of the people and set up a comprehensive land database so that policies can be formulated accordingly on the basis of these statistical data to improve peoples living conditions and to give them back the right of living in dignity
主席，歸根究底，今天我們缺地建屋的困境，源於過去10多年來都沒有大型土地發展項目落成。
All in all President the predicament of housing and land shortage we face today is created because no major land development project has been completed in Hong Kong for more than 10 years in the past
面對龐大的房屋需求，加上造地需時，政府只能利用並非理想及可持續的土地供應模式，例如"改劃土地用途"等"非常時期非常手段"的短期措施。
In face of the huge demand for housing and given the long time needed to open up new land the Government can only make use of land supply modes that are neither desirable nor sustainable such as changing the land use zoning of sites which is a short - term extraordinary measure introduced under exceptional circumstances
長遠而言，政府應支持大規模的土地發展項目，例如新界新發展區、適當地填海造地、探討郊野公園用地的可行性等，在滿足發展需求之餘，還要建立土地儲備，讓土地供應量可因應市場變化而調節，避免重蹈10多年前停止造地的覆轍。
In the long run the Government should support major land development projects such as developing new development areas in the New Territories creating land through an appropriate degree of reclamation exploring the feasibility of using country park sites and so on so as to meet the need of development and build up a land reserve so that land supply can be adjusted according to the changing demand in the market . This would help avoid repeating the mistake of aborting the creation of land more than 10 years ago
代理主席，我們感謝謝偉俊議員今天提出"制訂房屋政策紓緩殷切住屋需求"的議案，讓各位同事可以就香港市民都關心的住屋問題發表意見，也讓工聯會可以再次提出我們在房屋政策方面的主張。
Deputy President we thank Mr Paul TSE for moving the motion on Formulating a housing policy to alleviate the keen housing demand today so that fellow colleagues may share views on the housing problem which is a prime concern of people of Hong Kong and The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions FTU can once again put forward our proposals on housing policy
大家都有應該為市民做事的心態，才能真正解決房屋問題。
We should all have the mentality of serving the public so that the housing problem can genuinely be solved
主席，有一項最近發表的研究報告顯示，在301間涵蓋零售、貿易及製造業等行業的受訪中小型企業中，只有約四分一準備採用數碼科技，約一半未清楚了解如何把數碼科技應用在業務上，以及超過七成沒有應用數碼科技的計劃。
President a study report published recently has revealed that among the 301 surveyed small and medium enterprises SMEs from various trades encompassing retailing trading manufacturing industry etc only about one - fourth are ready to adopt digital technology about half of them do not understand clearly how to apply digital technology to their business and over 70 % have no plans to apply digital technology
局長剛才提到5億元的"科技券計劃"，相信中小企每次可以得到約20萬元資助。
The Secretary has mentioned about the 500 million TVP just now and it is believed that SMEs may receive a funding of about 200,000 each time
主席，局長在主體答覆提到5億元的"科技券計劃"，香港經濟民生聯盟十分支持。
President the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong strongly supports the 500 million TVP mentioned by the Secretary in his main reply
主席，首先感謝謝偉俊議員今日提出的議案及另外8位議員提出的修正案。
President first of all I would like to thank Mr Paul TSE for proposing the motion and the eight Members for moving the amendments
這項議案涉及房屋及土地政策範疇內很多不同方面的議題，可謂百花齊放。
This motion concerns different subjects regarding policies on housing and land and covers a variety of issues
我先綜合回應議案及修正案提出的一些主要要求，稍後在聽取各位議員的意見後我會再作進一步補充。
I would first give a consolidated response to the main requests made in the motion and the amendments and would provide further information after listening to the views given by Members
香港住屋問題的根源是長期供求嚴重失衡。
The root cause of the housing problem in Hong Kong is a prolonged and serious demand - supply imbalance
剛才張超雄議員說其實不然，我們是供多於求。
Dr Fernando CHEUNG said earlier that this was not the case and we actually had a surplus supply
我想提供一些數字給大家：在2015年年底，全港私人住宅總存量是1,145 500個，當中空置的單位有42,040個，空置率是3.7%。
Let me provide Members with some figures . As at the end of 2015 the total number of private residential properties in Hong Kong was 1 145 500 among which 42 040 units were vacant representing a vacancy rate of 3.7 %
這就是事實，如果大家不承認，便難以討論房屋問題。
These are the facts . If Members do not admit them it will be difficult for us to discuss the housing problem
本屆政府決心從根本解決房屋問題，於2014年年底公布《長遠房屋策略》，採取"供應主導"策略，全面增加短、中、長期的土地和房屋供應；並同時透過"需求管理措施"遏抑炒賣需求、外來需求，以及限制投資需求，以維持私人住宅物業市場穩健發展。
The Government of this term is determined to resolve the housing problem at root . At the end of 2014 the Government published the Long Term Housing Strategy LTHS
對政府以至整個社會來說，要達致為期10年的房屋供應目標，無疑是一項艱巨的挑戰。政府採取多管齊下的策略，致力落實各項短、中、長期措施，以增加土地供應。
The LTHS proposes to update the projection of long term housing demand and work out a rolling 10 - year housing supply target every year
主席，剛才數小時絕對並非"阿媽是女人"的辯論，我覺得這辯論非常重要，關乎香港的頭號社會問題。
President the debate in the past few hours is definitely not an argument depicted as My mother is a woman; instead I find this debate very important as it is related to the topmost social problem in Hong Kong
我很感謝剛才36位議員的發言。
I have to thank the 36 Members who have spoken
有關建屋量、供應目標、重推租置計劃、租務管制、租金津貼等議題，我在開場發言時已作了比較詳盡的回應，所以在總結發言時我會盡量精簡。
In respect of the subjects such as the housing production volume supply target relaunching of the Tenants Purchase Scheme tenancy control and rental subsidy I have already given a rather detailed response in my opening speech . Hence I will try to keep my concluding remarks concise
我現時想集中回應一些其他議題，首先是青年人的住屋需要。
Now I would like to concentrate on some other subjects . The first one is young peoples housing needs
政府和香港房屋委員會都明白，住屋是青年人非常關注的問題。
Both the Government and the Hong Kong Housing Authority HKHA understand that housing is a prime concern to young people
住屋困難的確令不少青年人對前路感到無奈甚至失望。
When faced with housing difficulties many young people indeed feel hopeless or even disappointed about their future
如果我們的年輕一代對未來有此想法，對社會而言會造成傷害。
If our younger generations have such an idea about the future it will be detrimental to society
但是，目前房屋供求失衡，特別是在公共租住房屋供求失衡的情況下，社會內不同的群組，不論屬何年齡層，對公屋的需求同樣殷切。
However given the prevailing supply - demand imbalance in housing in particular public rental housing PRH different social groups of different ages have the same keen demand on PRH
所以，我很希望青年人能體諒，目前我們實在沒有條件採取一些"青年人優先"的政策，但我們重視他們的問題。
Hence I very much hope that young people can understand that at present we are not in a position to adopt certain young people first policies but we do attach importance to their problems
在《長遠房屋策略》公眾諮詢期間即2013年社會上普遍認同建立一個有效流動的房屋階梯，是回應青年人長遠住屋需要的方法。
During the public consultation on the Long Term Housing Strategy LTHS in 2013 members of the public generally agreed that building an effective upward - moving housing ladder would address young peoples long - term housing needs
因此，政府在2014年12月公布的《策略》，採取了"供應主導"的策略，希望重建房屋階梯，並增加多元的供應。
Hence in the LTHS published in December 2014 the Government adopted a supply - led strategy to rebuild the housing ladder and increase the diversity of supply
除出租公屋外，當局更提供更多資助出售單位，並且進一步豐富其形式及促進不同房屋單位的流轉，以及透過持續供應土地和適當的需求管理措 施，穩定私人樓市，希望這些不同的手段足以逐步扭轉房屋供求失衡的情況。
Apart from PRH the Government would also provide more subsidized sale flats expand the forms of subsidized home ownership and facilitate the market circulation of various types of housing units as well as stabilize the private property market through a steady land supply and appropriate demand - side management measures in the hope of gradually averting the housing supply - demand imbalance
當然，我同意過程較我們預期的慢。
Of course I agree that the progress is slower than expected
當建屋數量可以增加的時候，我們便可以較有條件回應社會上不同社群及年齡群的需要；但當建屋數量仍屬短缺，便會變成一個零和遊戲之下的惡性爭奪。
When the volume of housing production can be increased we are in a better position to address the needs of various communities and age groups in society . But when housing is still in short supply there will be a vicious competition under a zero sum game
資助房屋小組會詳細探討各種可行的方案，絕不會輕率行事，而政府稍後亦會聽取立法會房屋事務委員會的意見。
The Committee will thoroughly explore all feasible options and will not act hastily . Later on the Government will also listen to the views of the Panel on Housing of the Legislative Council
事實上，我們安排了在2017年1月的事務委員會會議上交代有關的討論及進展。
In fact we have scheduled to give an account of the relevant discussions and progress to the Panel at its meeting in January 2017
《策略》的長遠房屋供應目標是建基於住戶的需求估算，包括新增住戶及其增幅的趨勢，重建所帶來的安置需要，以及居住環境欠佳的住戶的需要。
The long term housing supply target in the LTHS is estimated according to the demand of households including new applicant households and the trend of increase rehousing needs following the redevelopment and also the needs of inadequately housed households
當然，如果樓市的價格持續高企，甚至是逐步攀升，而租金亦高企，一定會令更多人要依賴公營房屋的供應，以致增加興建公營房屋的壓力，所以我們在釐定這比例時，希望能達致較好的平衡。
Of course if the high property price persists or even continues to rise and rent also remains on the high side more people will rely on the supply of public housing which will exert a greater pressure on the production of public housing . Hence this split was set in the hope of striking a better balance
剛才在辯論中，有議員提到很多提供資助房屋的形式，包括合作社、私人機構參建、公私營合作等，這些都是一些很好的意見。
In the debate just now some Members mentioned a number of ways to provide subsidized housing such as through cooperative societies the Private Sector Participation Scheme and also public - private cooperation etc . All these advices are very good
我們應以一個開放、務實和理性的態度進行探討，但我亦要指出，如果土地供應持續受限，可用的土地不能及時釋放，則無論有多好的主張，又或將這些建議全都付諸實行，實質上亦不會增加資助房屋單位的供應數量。
We should keep an open mind and explore these ideas in a pragmatic and rational manner . However I must point out that if land supply continues to be restricted and usable land cannot be released in time no matter how good such ideas are or even if all the proposals are implemented the supply of subsidized housing units will not be increased substantially
當前我們的資源有限，而公私營房屋的供求失衡情況的確相當嚴重，因此政府必須權衡利害，優先協助公屋申請者入住公屋及協助中低收入家庭自置居所。
In the face of limited resources and a supply - demand imbalance in public and private housing the Government must after weighing the advantages and disadvantages accord priority to helping PRH applicants get a PRH unit and assisting low to medium - income households to acquire home ownership
政府會繼續與房委會及其他相關機構緊密合作，落實《策略》下資助出售單位的供應目標。
The Government will continue to work closely with HKHA and other related organizations to meet the supply target of subsidized sale flats under the LTHS
有議員在修正案中提到重建樓齡高的公共屋邨，作為解決供應問題的手段。
Some Member has proposed in his amendment the redevelopment of old PRH estates as a means to solve the housing supply problem
就重建樓齡高的公共屋邨，房委會訂有一些政策，主要考慮4項準則，即：樓宇的結構狀況、修葺工程的成本效益、重建屋邨 附近是否有一些合適的遷置資源安置受影響的居民，以及原址重建的潛力。
Regarding the redevelopment of old PRH estates HKHA has formulated certain policies which involve four major criteria namely the structural condition of the building the cost - effectiveness of the repair and maintenance works the availability of suitable rehousing resources in the vicinity for rehousing the affected tenants and also the potential for in - situ redevelopment
我們一直沿用這些主要準則來考慮個別屋邨的重建可能性或需要。
We have all along adopted these major criteria to determine whether it is possible or necessary to redevelop individual PRH estates
雖然長遠而言，重建舊屋邨可以增加公屋單位的供應，但短期而言會令公屋單位數目減少，原因是要安置一些受影響的租戶。
Although in the long run redevelopment of old PRH estates can increase the supply of PRH units the number of PRH units will be reduced in the short run as the affected tenants have to be rehoused
如果屬大規模重建，則影響會更加嚴重，令其他公屋申請者輪候時間更長。
In the case of a large - scale redevelopment the impact will be more serious and the waiting time of other PRH applicants will also be further lengthened
單靠在一些短期空置用地興建過渡性房屋，無論是甚麼形式的房屋，甚至是貨櫃箱的房屋，根本無法解決8萬多"劏房戶"的住屋問題。
There is no way that transitional housing built on short - term vacant sites alone irrespective of the form of housing even container - type housing can meet the housing needs of all these 80 000 - odd households of subdivided units
有些人認為，政府應利用空置校舍或閒置土地興建過渡性房屋。
Some people think that the Government should make use of vacant school premises or idle sites to provide transitional housing
其實，發展局已多次澄清，所謂"有大量空置可用的土地"並非客觀的事實。
In fact the Development Bureau has repeatedly clarified that the saying that there are large quantities of vacant land lots that are usable is not based on objective facts
即使我們真的有少量空置校舍，或少量短期內沒有其他即時用途的土地，可以用短期租約方式批出以興建過渡性房屋，但我們仍然需要時間完成敷設污水渠等額外基建工程，以及提供其他基礎設施，才可以讓人居住。
Even if there are a small number of vacant school premises or a number of sites having no immediate use on short - term basis that can be used for constructing transitional housing under a short term tenancy it takes time to carry out the additional infrastructure projects such as laying sewerage pipes and providing other infrastructure facilities before people can live there
今天香港的規劃標準，即居住標準較數十年前，即八九十年代，或所謂臨時房屋區年代，有很大差別。
Today our planning standard that is standard of living space is very different to those of several decades ago that is in the 1980s and 1990s or the so - called temporary housing era
社會不能倒退，再度採用當年的標準，因此真的能用作興建過渡性房屋的土地的面積和數量相信極為有限，不會如一些倡議者所言，透過此安排便能輕易解決居住環境欠佳的住戶的問題。
Society will not retrogress and apply the former standards again . Hence the area and quantities of land that are truly suitable for transitional housing are very limited . Unlike what some advocates have said this arrangement can readily solve the problems faced by the inadequately housed households
對於未能負擔私人租住樓宇的低收入家庭，公屋始終是最根本的方案。
For low - income households who cannot afford private rental accommodation PRH remains the fundamental solution to their needs
我想談一下"劏房"的問題。
I would like to talk about the issue of subdivided units
在《策略》諮詢過程當中，社會對規管"劏房"意見分歧。
During the consultation on the LTHS people had divided views on the regulation of subdivided units
大家會記得，當時長遠房屋策略督導委員會的諮詢文件提出，考慮建議政府探討能否推行發牌或業主登記制度，以便更有效規管在租住樓宇和綜合用途樓宇內的分間樓宇單位的安全和衞生情況。
Members may recall that in its consultation paper the Long Term Housing Strategy Steering Committee recommended that the Government explore the feasibility of introducing a licensing or landlord registration system to better regulate the safety and hygiene conditions of subdivided units in residential and composite buildings
但是，當時得到的反應如何？
However what were the responses of the community?
