我們經常與的士業界溝通，他們對於這些害群之馬同樣恨之入骨，希望能有制度監察及制裁這些不法司機。
We have maintained frequent communication with the taxi trade . They have also found those black sheep abhorrent and asked for a regime under which those illegal drivers will be monitored and punished
可是，如果連反映業界專業形象的司機證也沒有合理的定期更換年期，我很擔心會影響的士司機的專業形象。
However if driver identity plates which reflect the professional image of the trade are not even renewed on a reasonably regular basis I am very worried that the professional image of taxi drivers will be affected
我要強調，司機證與個人旅遊證件有一個基本差異，就是司機證牽涉公共利益。
I have to emphasize that driver identity plates and travel documents are fundamentally different in that driver identity plates involve public interests
司機負責提供公共服務，在道路上服務乘客，而且有道路安全的責任。
Drivers are responsible for providing public services . As they serve passengers on the roads they are responsible for ensuring road safety
代理主席，"十年人事幾番新"，我們要確保自己的容貌在10年後大致相同，並不容易，更遑論司機證涉及公共服務。
Deputy Chairman as the Chinese saying goes Things and people change a lot in the space of 10 years . It will be difficult for us to ensure that we look pretty much the same after 10 years let alone the fact that driver identity plates are related to public service
所以，我就此提出修正案，希望本會的同事支持。
Therefore I have hereby proposed the amendment and hope to get the support of Honourable colleagues
林卓廷議員會動議講稿附錄他的修正案，以修正第4條。
Mr LAM Cheuk - ting will move his amendment to amend clause 4 as set out in the Appendix to the Script
各位委員現在可以就原條文及修正案進行合併辯論。
Members may now proceed to a joint debate on the original clause and the amendment
林卓廷議員，請動議你的修正案。
Mr LAM Cheuk - ting you may move your amendment
主席，首先，我申報我有處理一些小額錢債個案的上訴案件。
President first of all I declare that I have previously dealt with some small claims appeals
一直以來，法律界投訴區域法院在處理錢債方面的權限過低，因為所涉款額超過100萬元的案件，均須交由高等法院處理。
The legal profession has all along complained about the low limit of jurisdiction of the District Court in respect of claims given that cases involving claims of more than 1 million will have to be referred to the High Court
我當然認識一些司法界人員，並有機會透過作為立法會法律界代表的工作與他們交流。
Of course I know some judiciary personnel and have the opportunity to communicate with them through my work as a representative of the legal profession in the Legislative Council
他們對我說，現時高等法院法官往往要工作7天，甚至要請假撰寫判詞，這種情況極不理想。
They told me that presently High Court judges often need to work for seven days and some even take leave for writing judgments . The situation is extremely unsatisfactory
不過，我亦想指出一點，就是區域法院法官的人數也嫌不足。
And yet I also want to highlight that there is a shortage of judges at the District Court as well
因此，在限額由100萬元提高至300萬元後，政府當局會否採取相應措施，聘請更多區域法院法官，尤其是審理民事訴訟的法官？
In this connection will the Administration take corresponding measures to recruit more District Court judges especially judges for handling civil litigations after the jurisdictional limit is increased from 1 million to 3 million?
這是絕對有需要的。
This is absolutely necessary
在事務律師中亦有很多人才，司法機關可任用，而海外聘請也是不錯的方法，可以填補現時司法機關的空缺。
There are plenty of talented solicitors available for appointment by the Judiciary and overseas recruitment is also a good alternative for filling the existing vacancies in the Judiciary
當然，今天最富爭議性的不是有關區域法院的修訂，而是《小額錢債審裁處條例》的修訂。
The most controversial issue of today is surely not the amendments related to the District Court but those made to the Small Claims Tribunal Ordinance
我也有就這個問題思考良久，亦聆聽了剛才涂謹申議員及梁耀忠議員提述的情況，我認為他們都說得很對，而且非常"貼地"。
I have pondered on the question for quite some time and have listened to the situation depicted by Mr James TO and Mr LEUNG Yiu - chung earlier . I think their remarks are very true and down - to - earth
不過，與此同時，我亦嘗試了解審裁處的實際運作情況，我認為我們不得不理會司法機關現時面對的一些問題。
But meanwhile I will try to understand the actual operation of SCT as we cannot in my opinion turn a blind eye to the problem currently faced by the Judiciary
司法機關確實有足夠的資源招聘法官，但卻往往請不到人，原因是要一位成功的律師或大律師投身司法機關，而且要由低做起，即由裁判官的職級開始，確實要付出很大的代價，尤其是收入方面會大幅向下調整，所以他們必須要有服務司法機關及市民大眾的心。
The Judiciary does have sufficient resources for recruiting judges but the recruitment exercises had been disappointing . The reason is that any successful solicitor or barrister joining the Judiciary would have to start out in junior positions that is the rank of a magistrate which is indeed a huge price to pay especially the big slash in income . Therefore it is important for them to have the heart to serve the Judiciary and members of the public
當然，他們都是很有心及很想服務司法機構，但他們處理案件的能力卻可能相對較低，而經驗也較淺。
They are certainly committed to serving the Judiciary but may be relatively inexperienced and less capable in handling cases
當裁判官須處理的案件越來越多，而每宗案件也要花費大量時間處理，再加上積壓的案件數量日益增加，裁判官犯錯的機會亦自然大增。
When magistrates have to deal with an increasing caseload and each case takes up a great deal of time and coupled with an excessive case backlog they are therefore more prone to make mistakes
如果其中一方認為沒有獲得公義，因為判詞沒有處理全部證據或理據，心感不忿繼而提出上訴，這樣上訴案件的數量便可能大增。
If one of the parties to the dispute thinks that justice is not done or that the judgment has not taken all the evidence or justifications into account he may feel aggrieved and lodge an appeal . Consequently the appeal caseload may substantially increase
審裁處的上訴案件會交由高等法院處理，而高等法院亦同樣沒有足夠人手，現時共有7個空缺，於是上訴案件的數量又會不斷增加，這是整個司法機構也要檢討及可能承受的結果。
Since appeal cases of SCT will be handled by the High Court and given that the latter also has a shortage of manpower with a total of seven vacancies at present the appeal caseload will be on the increase . This is the consequence that the entire Judiciary has to review and possibly bear
因此，從司法機構的角度來說，這是極不理想的。
Hence from the Judiciarys point of view this is extremely unsatisfactory
如果某人純粹為了金錢而當法官，他也不會是一位好法官。
If a person becomes a judge purely for money he will not be a good judge
我非常同意剛才涂謹申議員和梁耀忠議員提述的情況，也很體諒市民認為75,000元的限額過低，而這限額亦確實很低，但我只想呼籲大家在未來一兩年，耐心留意審裁處的實際運作情況，以及司法機構會否積極增聘人手。
I very much concur with the remarks made by Mr James TO and Mr LEUNG Yiu - chung earlier and I also understand the feedback received from members of the public that the limit of 75,000 is too low which is indeed too low . I just want to call on Members to patiently observe the actual operation of SCT for one or two years and see if the Judiciary will actively recruit more manpower
我亦呼籲政府要用盡一切方法，並向司法機構提供一切資源，以便盡快解決人手問題，因為兩年後，我的同事將不會再如此客氣地聆聽政府遇到甚麼問題和困難。
I also call on the Government to provide the Judiciary with the necessary resources in every possible way such that the latter can expeditiously resolve the manpower problem because two years later my colleagues will not be so polite and listen to the problems and difficulties encountered by the Government
如果裁判法院級別未能聘請所需人手，我希望司法機構能夠徹底檢討，為何該級別未能聘請好的人才出任裁判官。
If recruitment at the Magistrates Court level is still unsuccessful I hope that the Judiciary will conduct a thorough review to examine why it is not possible to recruit good magistrates
兩項擬議決議案的目的，是分別將上述兩項條例下指明就建造工程徵款的門檻，由100萬元提高至300萬元。
The purpose of the two proposed resolutions is to revise the respective levy thresholds set for construction operations under the two aforesaid ordinances from 1 million to 3 million
委員察悉，由於建造業議會財政狀況穩健，而提高門檻後所減少的徵款收入亦只佔其每年徵款收入約1%，因此對於建造業議會的工作影響不大；透過豁免低額建造工程的徵款，則有助減輕一些中小規模承建商的財政負擔。
They have noted that the rise in levy thresholds will have little impact on the work of the Construction Industry Council CIC as it is in a healthy financial position and the consequent reduction in levy income will only account for about 1 % of its annual levy income . It is also learnt that the exclusion of low - value construction operations from the levy net will help alleviate the financial burden of small and medium contractors
鑒於肺塵埃沉着病補償基金的累積款項高達23億7,000萬元，委員關注到，基金如何善用款項為有關病人和其家人提供更妥善的支援。
Noting that the accumulated fund under the Pneumoconiosis Compensation Fund the Fund amounts to 2.37 billion members have expressed concern over how the Fund can be put to good use to better support the patients and their families
委員認為，《肺塵埃沉着病及間皮瘤條例》提供的現行補償不足，申領資格準則過於嚴苛。
In the view of members the prevailing compensation under the Pneumoconiosis and Mesothelioma Compensation Ordinance PMCO is inadequate while the eligibility criteria for compensation are too stringent
因應委員的關注，政府當局表示，勞工處正研究將使用高低正氣壓呼吸機及抽痰機所支付的費用納入《條例》的補償範圍，並預計於2018年第四季諮詢肺塵埃沉着病補償基金委員會和勞工顧問委員會，繼而盡快把相關建議提交立法會。
In response to members concerns the Administration has advised that the Labour Department LD is conducting a study on the expansion of compensation scope under PMCO to cover expenses for using non - invasive positive pressure ventilation devices and sputum suction devices . LD expects to consult the Pneumoconiosis Compensation Fund Board PCFB and the Labour Advisory Board in the fourth quarter of 2018 and will then submit the proposal to the Legislative Council as soon as possible
勞工處亦會與基金委員會研究，在法例修訂前資助病人使用未納入補償範圍的醫療裝置的可行性。
LD will also work with PCFB to explore the possibility of financing the use of medical appliances not yet covered by PMCO before legislative amendment
小組委員會亦察悉，政府當局過往曾不時就《條例》的保障範圍及補償款額作出檢討，包括每一至兩年檢討個別補償項目下的補償款額水平。
The Subcommittee has also noted that in the past the Administration would from time to time review the coverage of PMCO and the compensation amounts including reviewing the level of compensation under individual compensation items every one or two years
除補償外，基金委員會亦持續投放資源推行及提升復康計劃，使有關開支由2016年的464萬元大幅增至2017年的1,680萬元，並且不時與相關病人組織會面，以了解他們的訴求。
Apart from granting compensation PCFB has also persistently allocated resources for conducting and improving rehabilitation programmes with the expenses incurred increased substantially from 4.64 million in 2016 to 16.8 million in 2017 . PCFB will also meet and discuss with the relevant patient groups from time to time to gauge their demands
鑒於檢討《條例》下的法定補償屬於較廣泛的政策事宜，小組委員會同意將相關事宜轉交人力事務委員會繼續跟進。
Given that the review of the statutory compensation under PMCO is a wider policy issue the Subcommittee has agreed to refer this issue to the Panel on Manpower for follow - up
此外，委員曾詢問，為何相關徵款門檻超過30年未作出檢討，以及當局會否引入定期檢討機制。
Besides members have enquired why there was no review of the levy thresholds in the past 30 years or so and whether a regular review mechanism will be introduced
政府當局解釋，提高徵款門檻的建議是因應建造業議會所進行的檢討而提出，檢討中考慮到通貨膨脹，以及建造業議會和基金委員會的財政狀況，從而確認徵款門檻有上調空間。
According to the Administration the proposal to raise the levy thresholds is made pursuant to a review by CIC . Taking into account the cumulative inflation as well as the financial positions of CIC and PCFB the review has confirmed that there is room for a rise in levy thresholds
當局表示日後會按需要進行類似檢討。
The Administration has advised that similar reviews will be conducted in future as and when necessary
小組委員會察悉，在兩項擬議決議案獲通過後，政府當局會向立法會提交 《建造業工人註冊條例》下就相關徵款門檻的相應修訂，以進行"先訂立後審議"程序。
It has noted that after the passage of the two proposed resolutions the corresponding amendment of the levy threshold under the Construction Workers Registration Ordinance will be introduced into the Legislative Council for negative vetting
為免對承建商造成混淆，政府計劃將3項條例下的新徵款門檻劃一於同日生效。
To avoid confusion to contractors the Administration intends to align the effective dates of the new levy thresholds under the three ordinances
基金現時有23億元的款項，可繼續為1,400名工友提供服務。
The Fund which now has a balance of 2.3 billion is financially sound to maintain its services for 1 400 workers
更深層次的問題，是勞工及福利局和勞工處對工傷或病友的支援非常不足夠。
A more fundamental issue is the highly insufficient support provided by the Labour and Welfare Bureau and LD for workers with work - related injuries or diseases
很多時候，工友的情況已經穩定，但未到判傷之日大家都不願意行前一步。
In many cases although the workers concerned are in stable conditions nobody dare to take a step forward before medical examination is made
前立法會議員葉偉明接觸過很多這類工友，發現如果他們無法工作超過兩年，便連工作意欲也會喪失。
Former legislator Mr IP Wai - ming had contacts with many of these workers . He found that if workers could not get back to work for more than two years they would lose the motivation to work
所以，如何可令整個工序和整項措施加快？
In this case how can the process of medical examination be sped up?
我認為勞工處需要作出一些轉變，因為小組委員會在會議上，對於發展局的討論不多，主要都是勞工及福利局的問題。
I think LD should make some changes . During the meeting the Subcommittee mainly focused its discussion on the problems with the Labour and Welfare Bureau and did not say much about the Development Bureau
代理主席，對於黃定光議員這種水平的議員，我其實無需多作回應。
Deputy President for Members like Mr WONG Ting - kwong with such a standard I actually do not need to respond to what he said
我想說明間皮瘤的事實，希望市民留意。
I would like to give some factual information on mesothelioma and I hope to draw the publics attention
在香港和世界各地，超過八成間皮瘤患者，曾在工作期間接觸石棉；而大部分患上肺塵埃沉着病的病友，均曾從事建築或礦工行業。
In Hong Kong and various places around the world more than 80 % of the patients suffering from mesothelioma have been exposed to asbestos in the course of work while most of the patients suffering from pneumoconiosis have been engaged in the construction or mining industry
這批礦工在1976年礦場未結業前，在馬鞍山石礦場工作。
These miners worked at the Ma On Shan Quarry before its closure in 1976
這項徵款美其名目的是協助工友，但我會稱之為贖罪券。
The levy is disguised as a measure to help the workers but I will call it a letter of indulgence
合資格申領補償的工友，平均無法領取補償超過兩年，甚至大部分在1年內，便會因病離世。
On average workers who are eligible for compensation will receive compensation for not more than two years and some of them even died of the disease within a year
兩位局長如有機會，可到醫院的呼吸科病房，看看患上矽肺病工友的情況。
The two Secretaries could if having the chance visit the respiratory ward of a hospital to find out more about the situation of workers suffering from silicosis
每次判傷過程，對他們來說都是很大的挑戰。
The medical examination process is a big challenge for them
甚至有些工友不知道，他們可要求第二次甚至第三次判傷。
Some workers even do not know that they can ask for a second or even a third medical examination
現時負責判傷的委員會，仍然以很表面的指標作判斷，例如X光片等，甚少真正審視病友實際上剩餘的工作能力和生活自理能力。
At present the committee responsible for medical examination makes judgments on the basis of very superficial indicators such as X - ray films etc . It seldom examines the actual remaining working ability and self - care ability of the patients
試想想，一名原本從事石礦業或建築業的年輕工友，窮其一生為行業作出貢獻，最終卻因而得病。
Imagine that a young worker who was originally engaged in the stone mining or construction industry had made contributions to the industry throughout his life but he eventually became sick
其實，這兩個病差不多可說是不能逆轉。
These two diseases can actually be described as irreversible
間皮瘤固然會令病人病情惡化；而即使矽肺病患者有幸苟延殘喘，莫說是工作，他們連社交也相當困難。
The conditions of a patient suffering from mesothelioma will be deteriorating and even if a patient suffering from silicosis can fortunately linger on they can hardly work or have social lives
基本上，他們離家到街上或到公園散步也有困難。
Basically they have difficulty leaving home to go outside or have a walk in the park
政府一而再、再而三減少用作協助病人的徵款。
The Government has repeatedly reduced the levy threshold that supposedly is used for providing help to the patients
第二，政府門診的成本其實並不便宜。
Second the costs of government outpatient services are actually not low
每年確診的病人人數不多。他們如需要一些昂貴藥物，我認為不應該按現行機制向關愛基金和撒瑪利亞基金申請。
There are a small number of confirmed cases each year and if they need some expensive drugs I think they should not be required to apply to the Community Care Fund and the Samaritan Fund under the current mechanism
病患者需要藥物治療，起因其實是他們從事的行業。
The patients need medication treatment simply because they are engaged in these industries
老實說，單靠300元的醫療資助，他們根本沒有能力亦不可能向其他醫生求診。
To be honest with a medical subsidy of a mere 300 they simply cannot consult other doctors
政府實在不應該再作出更加不近人情和辜負他們的決定。
The Government should no longer make any cruel and inconsiderate decisions that will let the patients down
至於黃定光議員近乎不近人情、完全漠視工友的做法，反映商界及維護功能界別的議員的醜惡嘴臉。
Mr WONG Ting - kwongs cruel and inconsiderate practice that completely ignores the workers well reflects the ugly faces of the business community and Members defending the functional constituencies
他竭力維護自己業界及商界的利益，對為香港貢獻多年而患病的工友，卻完全視若無睹。
He strives to defend the interests of his sector and the business community and is indifferent to the suffering of sick workers who had contributed to Hong Kong for many years
勞工及福利局局長，請發言。
Secretary for Labour and Welfare please speak
主席，我對政務司司長建議把現時小額錢債審裁處的民事司法管轄權限，由50,000元提高至75,000元表示支持，亦同樣支持把區域法院的民事司法管轄權限由100萬元提高至300萬元。
President I support the Chief Secretary for Administrations proposal to increase the limit of the civil jurisdiction of the Small Claims Tribunal SCT from 50,000 to 75,000 and likewise to increase the civil jurisdictional limit of the District Court from 1 million to 3 million
雖然我明白這說法的意念，但認為必須謹慎處理，尤其是就小額錢債案件而言，10萬元對普羅大眾來說並非小數目。
Although I understand the idea behind these remarks I think the proposal must be handled with care especially in respect of small claims cases as 100,000 is not a small sum of money to members of the public
我認為，把涉及75,000元以上的案件撥歸區域法院處理的做法恰當。
In my opinion it is appropriate to refer cases involving more than 75,000 to the District Court
大家似乎對其他建議並無異議，但我剛才聽到郭榮鏗議員指出，現時最大問題是司法機構是否需要改革，尤其是面對人手不足的情況。
It seems that Members do not have any objection to other proposals but I just heard Mr Dennis KWOK point out that the biggest problem at the moment is whether the Judiciary should undergo a reform especially in the face of a shortage of manpower
正如郭榮鏗議員剛才所說，不是司法機構不想增加人手，因為 現時185名法官的編制根本仍未達標。
As Mr Dennis KWOK has just said it is not that the Judiciary is reluctant to increase manpower as the present establishment of 185 judges has yet to reach the staffing establishment
私人執業的收入可能每星期高達20萬元至30萬元，但在司法機構擔任法官的薪酬卻只是每月10萬元至20萬元，與經濟效益完全不匹配，這是第一個原因。
While the income earned from private practice may be as high as 200,000 to 300,000 per week the monthly salary of a judge in the Judiciary is only 100,000 to 200,000 which utterly pales in comparison . This is the first reason
第二個窒礙有志之士加入司法機構的原因，是一項古老的規則，就是"一入侯門深似海"，我們亦必須予以考慮並作深入檢討。
The second reason that discourages aspiring persons to join the Judiciary is the conventional rule that one is stuck once you enter a royal family . We must consider and thoroughly review such a rule
我們不能夠過於自滿，認為現時的狀況可以接受便沿用慣性的模式，不求創新，繼續以185位法官處理50多萬宗案件。
We should not be so complacent to think that the conventional practices can be preserved as the present situation is acceptable and refuse to innovate . We should not continue to expect that 185 judges can handle more than 500 000 cases
對於香港來說，這可說是一項健力士紀錄。
Hong Kong has indeed set a Guinness world record
就識別身份的功能而言，護照其實是非常重要的身份證明文件，身份證甚至沒有更換日期，只是在政府認為有需要更換時才更換。
For identification purpose passports are indeed extremely important identification documents . No date for renewal has even been set in respect of Hong Kong identity cards which will be renewed only when deemed necessary by the Government
所以，如要識別身份，記下姓名其實更為重要。
Thus for identification purpose it is in fact more important to take down the name
林卓廷議員剛才說很多人都青春常駐，這是事實。
Mr LAM Cheuk - ting said just now that many people can maintain a youthful look . That is true
我覺得並非絕不可行，問題是司機證是否重要得需要每5年更換一次？
I do not consider it to be absolutely infeasible . The problem is are driver identity plates so important as to warrant renewal every five years?
我覺得未必有此需要。
I do not consider the proposal to be necessary
因此，我認為10年才換證是可以接受的做法。
Hence I consider the requirement for renewal every 10 years to be acceptable
我本來也不想發言，不過，林卓廷議員提到尹兆堅議員......
Originally I did not intend to speak as well
我要先作聲明，我對肥胖沒有偏見，只是尹兆堅議員在這數年略為肥胖，跟以前的樣子有少許差別，但基本上，我相信大家也認得他。
However when Mr LAM Cheuk - ting mentioned that Mr Andrew WAN I have to declare first I do not have any bias against fat people only that Mr Andrew WAN has put on some weight in these years and he looks slightly different from his past appearance; yet basically I think we all recognize him
假設肥胖真的是一個問題，其實5年內也可以有很大改變。
Suppose getting fat is really a problem then a person can have significant changes in five years
主席，有關《肺塵埃沉着病及間皮瘤條例》的決議，目的是修訂《條例》下的徵款門檻，由100萬元提高至300萬元。
President the purpose of the proposed resolution under the Pneumoconiosis and Mesothelioma Compensation Ordinance PMCO is to revise the levy threshold under PMCO from 1 million to 3 million
肺塵埃沉着病補償基金根據《條例》成立，向因患上肺塵埃沉着病及/或間皮瘤而導致喪失工作能力的人士，以及因該等疾病致死人士的家庭成員提供補償。
The Pneumoconiosis Compensation Fund the Fund is set up under PMCO to provide payment of compensation to persons and their family members in respect of incapacity or death resulting from pneumoconiosis andor mesothelioma
基金由肺塵埃沉着病補償基金委員會管理，除了執行補償工作外，基金委員會亦進行及資助有關肺塵病及間皮瘤的教育、宣傳、研究及復康工作。
The Fund is administered by the Pneumoconiosis Compensation Fund Board PCFB . Apart from compensation work PCFB also conducts and finances educational publicity research and rehabilitation programmes in relation to pneumoconiosis and mesothelioma
為了使基金委員會有財政能力執行上述職責，《條例》規定向在香港進行的建造工程及開採或生產的石礦產品徵款。
To finance the functions of PCFB PMCO provides for the imposition of a levy in respect of construction operations carried out in Hong Kong as well as quarry products extracted or produced
目前的徵款率為建造工程和石礦產品價值的0.15%，而根據《條例》附表5第1部指明的款額，總價值低於100萬元的建造工程獲豁免徵款。
The current levy rate is set at 0.15 % of the value of construction operations and the value of quarry products . Construction operations with total value not exceeding 1 million are exempt from the payment of levy
該門檻自1985年6月開始沿用至今。
The levy threshold has remained unchanged since June 1985
建造業議會參考過去30年間的累積通貨膨脹，就《建造業議會條例》及《建造業工人註冊條例》下的徵款門檻進行檢討。
Taking into account the accumulative inflation over the past three decades the Construction Industry Council CIC completed a review on the levy thresholds under the Construction Industry Council Ordinance and the Construction Workers Registration Ordinance
由於徵款門檻同樣適用於《條例》，議會在建造業各持份者達成共識後，建議將3項條例下的徵款門檻由現時的100萬元提高至300萬元。
As the same levy threshold also applies to PMCO CIC recommended the levy thresholds under the three ordinances be raised from 1 million to 3 million after having reached consensus among stakeholders of the construction industry
基金委員會估計，修訂徵款門檻後，基金委員會的徵款收入每年將減少約350萬元，相當於每年平均徵款收入的1%。
PCFB has assessed that it would forgo around 3.5 million annually of its levy income after the amendment . This would be equivalent to 1 % of its average annual levy income
由於基金的財政狀況穩健，修訂徵款門檻的建議對基金委員會在執行其法定職能方面的財政能力並無影響。
Given the healthy financial position of the Fund the proposed amendment of levy threshold would not affect the financial viability of PCFB in discharging its statutory functions
在考慮議會的建議及基金委員會的財政狀況後，我們建議修訂《條例》，將徵款門檻由100萬元提高至300萬元。
Having considered the recommendation of CIC and the financial position of PCFB we propose to raise the levy threshold under PMCO from 1 million to 3 million
基金委員會同意這項建議，而勞工顧問委員會的委員對此亦無異議。
PCFB agreed to the proposal while members of the Labour Advisory Board had no objection
立法會發展事務委員會已在2018年3月27日作出討論，人力事務委員會委員及立法會其他議員亦獲邀參與會議，席間沒有反對上述建議的意見。
The Legislative Council Panel on Development discussed the proposal on 27 March 2018 and members of the Panel on Manpower and other Legislative Council Members were also invited to join the discussion . The meeting raised no objection to the aforesaid proposal
這項擬議決議案經內務委員會轄下的小組委員會於6月6日的會議上審議。
This proposed resolution was scrutinized by a subcommittee formed under the House Committee at a meeting held on 6 June
我在此衷心感謝小組委員會主席何啟明議員和其他委員的工作。
I would like to take this opportunity to give my heartfelt thanks to the Chairman of the Subcommittee Mr HO Kai - ming and other Subcommittee members for their efforts
小組委員會並無就擬議決議案提出修訂。
The Subcommittee has not proposed any amendments to the proposed resolution
我們聽取了小組委員會委員就《條例》為肺塵病及/或間皮瘤病人提供補償及支援所提出的寶貴意見，定會聯同基金委員會積極跟進及研究這些建議。
After listening to the valuable opinions given by the Subcommittee members on the provision of compensation and support under PMCO to patients suffering from pneumoconiosis andor mesothelioma we will actively follow up on and study their proposals with PCFB
我希望議員支持，將《條例》指明的徵款門檻由100萬元提高至300萬元。
I hope that Members will support raising the levy threshold specified in PMCO from 1 million to 3 million
風雨蘭在過去17年接獲風化案受害人求助的個案持續上升。
The number of requests for assistance from sex crime victims received by RainLily has risen continuously in the past 17 years
當中強姦案的施暴者只有約一成其後被檢控。
Only about 10 % of the perpetrators in the rape cases involved in such requests were subsequently prosecuted
陳沛然議員提出的主體質詢一開始便引述，風雨蘭在過去17年接獲性罪行受害人求助的個案年年上升，但被檢控的施暴者人數卻一直偏低，只有約一成。
In Dr Pierre CHANs main question it is mentioned at the outset that the number of requests for assistance from sex crime victims received by RainLily has risen continuously in the past 17 years but the prosecution rates of perpetrators were on the low side at about 10 %
