說到底，就是"林鄭"的政府是否有這決心，認真正視香港人的房屋問題。
After all it depends on whether the Carrie LAM administration has the determination to face squarely and seriously the housing problem faced by the people of Hong Kong
主席，我想以4個光怪陸離及令人費解的現象來回應涂謹申議員今天提出的議案。
President I would like to respond to the motion proposed by Mr James TO today with four bizzare incomprehensible phenomena
第一，香港是世界人口最密集的城市之一，卻有3個供富豪享用的高爾夫球場，最大的當然是佔地172公頃的粉嶺高爾夫球場，但也不是有錢繳交會費便可成為會員，還要排隊。
First Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated cities in the world and yet there are three golf courses for the enjoyment of the rich the biggest being the Fanling Golf Course which occupies 172 hectares of land . But it is not the case that you can become a member so long as you have the money to pay for the membership fee for you have to queue up for it
第二個令人覺得光怪陸離的現象是，在短中期增加土地供應措施中，土地供應專責小組隻字不提的選項，便是善用閒置軍事用地。我也很懂得大體，我說"善用"而不是說"收回"。
The second bizarre phenomenon is that in explaining the short - to - medium term options to provide additional land supply the Task Force did not mention a single word on the option of utilizing idle military sites and I already have taken into account the overall situation in suggesting utilizing instead of resuming these sites
在地價處於全球數一數二的香港，有2,700多公頃的軍事用地，有一些更位處市中心。
In Hong Kong where property prices are among the highest in the world there are more than 2 700 hectares of military sites some of which are even situated in urban centres
很多市民也覺得，這些解放軍用地大部分像是人影也沒一個，但解放軍卻以"有防務需要"這5個大字為由，令人問也不敢問。
Many people have the feeling that most of these sites occupied by the Peoples Liberation Army PLA seem to be always quiet without any people there but PLA say that these sites are for defence needs and when this is stated as the reason nobody dares to question it
照片中的白色建築物是英軍留給解放軍的，本來用作軍事物資的倉庫，在颱風山竹過後，這個建築物的白色鐵閘被吹毀，出現一個高度最少數米的洞，整個月仍未修好。
This white structure in the photograph is left behind by the British army to PLA and it was originally a warehouse for keeping military materials . After the onslaught of typhoon Mangkhut the white gate of this structure was destroyed by the wind leaving an opening of at least a few metres tall and the gate has not yet been fixed for the whole month
如果九龍塘軍營真的無時無刻也有重要的防務用途，為何鐵閘損毀數月仍不維修呢？
If the Kowloon Tong barrack is really serving important defence purposes all the time why it happens that the gate has yet to be repaired several months after it was broken?
為何倉庫內好像空空如也，甚麼也沒有？
Why does the warehouse seem to be empty without anything inside?
早前我收到一些街坊反映，指一些正在申請公屋的人和住戶其實在境 外持有物業卻沒有申報。
Some time ago I received views conveyed by some local residents that some people and households applying for public rental housing PRH units actually own properties outside Hong Kong but have not made declarations accordingly
如果能夠嚴懲這些隱瞞資料、沒有如實申報持有境外物業的人......
If heavy punishment can be imposed on people who concealed information and failed to make truthful declarations on their ownership of properties outside Hong Kong Actually all people who abused public housing resources should be heavily punished
其實所有濫用公共房屋資源的人也應該嚴懲，所謂不患寡而患不均，更是患不公，而嚴格執行這些規定除可增加公共房屋資源外，亦可減少民怨。
While we often say that the problem is not with scarcity but with uneven distribution I think the problem is more serious with unfairness . If rules can be strictly enforced public housing resources can be increased and public grievances can also be reduced
我剛才提到放上Facebook有關要求嚴打那些持境外物業的公屋申請人的帖文，有人回應了一句有點偏激的評語，他說："根本不用搞這麼多，取消150人的限額便甚麼也解決"，這句話是有一點兒偏激，但當我們討論房屋問題時，除了增加供應，而且供應亦不能即時增加時，需求控制也是必定要做好的。
He said Actually there is no need to make such a fuss . Simply abolish the quota of 150 and everything will be fixed . This remark is a bit radical but when we discuss the housing problem apart from increasing supply and when supply cannot be increased instantly it is imperative to control the demand effectively
香港作為一個人口密度最高的城市之一，每天有150名持單程證人士入境，源源不絕地輸入人口，這是不負責任的行為。
As Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated cities it is irresponsible to allow 150 One - way Permit holders to come in every day and create a never - ending inflow of population
我並非要求政府減少或增加限額，而是要求政府切實收回入境審批權，因應香港的人口需要或房屋供應的節奏來調節容許移民移居香港的步伐。
I am not asking the Government to reduce or increase this quota . I am asking the Government to practically take back the power to vet and approve entry for immigration of One - way Permit holders in order that the progress of approving applications for settlement in Hong Kong can be adjusted in the light of the population needs or the pace of housing supply in Hong Kong
香港的房屋供應嚴重失衡，我們實政圓桌就這問題已討論多時，並在去年5月至8月設立多個街站進行問卷調查，接獲1,500多份回應。
The housing supply in Hong Kong is seriously imbalanced . We in the Roundtable have discussed this issue for quite some time . From May to August last year we set up a number of street booths to conduct a questionnaire survey and received some 1 500 completed questionnaires
我們的調查結果與土地供應專責小組的報告相當吻合，但我首先想指出，我們支持一個方案，不等於放棄其他方案。
Our survey findings greatly tally with the report of the Task Force on Land Supply . However before everything else I wish to point out that our support for one proposal does not mean we give up others
根據我們的調查結果，最為市民接受的選項包括發展棕地、新界私人農地儲備、遊樂場用地，以及兩項填海選項。
According to our survey findings options which members of the public find most acceptable include developing brownfield sites private agricultural land reserve in the New Territories private recreational sites especially the golf course and the two reclamation options . Let me first talk about reclamation which has been the most popular topic of discussion recently
我先談談最近討論得最多的填海，我們這項調查針對的是在東大嶼填海1,000公頃的計劃，原則上，可以用來興建25萬個單位，也是各選項中唯一可以在單一地點最大scale興建最多單位的選項。
Our survey has focused on the reclamation project of 1 000 hectares in East Lantau . In principle it can provide land for building 250 000 housing units . It is also the only option among all the options which can facilitate the construction of the greatest number of units in the largest scale at a single location
跨區公路方面，既然有鐵路，便一定也要有公路，接駁十一號幹線，經過大嶼山，過海穿過交椅洲，再連接港島西，全長12公里，按照屯門至赤鱲角連接路在2012年的價格，加上20%至30%的inflation，以每公里46億元計算，合共是530多億元。
Regarding the cross - district highway since there is a railway there certainly has got to be a highway connecting with Route 11 passing Lantau Island going through Kau Yi Chau across the sea and then linking with Island West . The total length is 12 km . If we base the calculation on the price of Tuen Mun - Chek Lap Kok Link in 2012 factoring in inflation of 20 % to 30 % with each kilometre costing 4.6 billion the total is some 53 billion
根據2018年的啟德賣地因為這是CBD，所以我便用啟德作為參考九龍啟德第1F區1號地盤商住用地，每平方呎的樓面面積投標價為17,800元，我打個七折，折算後是12,500元。
According to the sale of land at Kai Tak in 2018―since this is a CBD I have used Kai Tak as reference―for a residential - cum - commercial site at Site 1 Area 1F Kai Tak Kowloon the tendering price was 17,800 per sq ft of the floor area . I discount it by 30 % . The discounted amount is 12,500
另一幅用地是啟德第4B區3號地盤住宅用地，是最新、最update的，地價大約是每呎14,500元，七折後是1萬元。
Another site is a residential site at Site 3 Area 4B Kai Tak . It is the latest and most up - to - date . The land price is about 14,500 per sq ft
換言之，商住面積4,000萬平方呎，乘12,500元是5,000億元；住宅樓面面積3,500萬平方呎，乘1萬元是3,500億元，這是私樓的面積，不計公屋，總收入是8,570億元。
In other words for a residential - cum - commercial site of 40 million sq ft if we multiply the area by 12,500 the price is 500 billion . For a residential site with a floor area of 35 million sq ft if we multiply the area by 10,000 the price is 350 billion . This is the area for private housing excluding public housing
減少1,000公頃海域，可增加3,950億元現金收入，以去年12月計算，我們可增加4,000萬呎商業樓面面積、78,000個私樓單位的土地供應、18萬個公營房屋單位的土地供應、一條28公里有8個車站的新鐵路，還有一條11公里過橋和經過隧道的公路。
Reduction of 1 000 hectares of the sea area can increase the cash revenue by 395 billion . According to calculations based on the figures in December last year we can have an additional commercial floor area of 40 million sq ft land supply for 78 000 private housing units land supply for 180 000 public housing units a new railway which is 28 km long consisting of eight stations and a highway 11 km long going through bridges and tunnels
主席，多謝涂謹申議員提出這項議案，讓大家有機會討論短中期的房屋供應，以及為土地供應專責小組討回公道。
President I would like to thank Mr James TO for proposing this motion to give us opportunity to discuss issues relating to housing supply in the short - to - medium term and to do justice for the Task Force on Land Supply
首先，我談談"粉高"，這不是很憤怒、很高漲的意思，是指粉嶺高爾夫球場。
First of all let me talk about the Fanling Golf Course . I am not talking about being very angry or highly enthusiastic . I am referring to the Fanling Golf Course
那麼香港全部公司都會倒閉，這完全不是道理。
If this is the case all companies in Hong Kong will close down then . It is totally unreasonable
對於在維港以外填海及東大嶼都會的量化意見，是五成至六成支持，質化意見是九成反對，支持度只有7%，但我剛才舉起的這份意見書卻竟然沒有列出來。
With regard to the quantitative opinions on reclamation outside the Victoria Harbour and developing the East Lantau Metropolis 50 % to 60 % of the respondents support such options . In terms of qualitative opinions however 90 % of the respondents are opposed to these options resulting in a support rating of 7 % only . Yet these are not set out in the submissions that I have put up just now
另一方面，黃局長剛才提到《收回土地條例》，其實除了處理棕地之外，處理公私營合作土地亦可以引用該條例。
On the other hand Secretary Michael WONG mentioned the Land Resumption Ordinance earlier . In fact apart from the handling of brownfields the Ordinance can also be invoked for handling public - private collaboration land development projects
甚麼是土地共享？
What is land sharing?
其實在整個土地大辯論之中，大家都很用心，市民亦用心提供意見。
In fact all of us have made much effort during the entire process of the grand debate on land supply whereas members of the public have also provided opinions diligently
然而，最後連報告尚未發表，便被行政會議成員和特首一手搞垮。
However in the end it was messed up by members of the Executive Council and the Chief Executive before the report was released
我們未必完全贊同專責小組的說法，但至少你要給他們一點尊重，政府連這種基本常識也沒有。
While we may not fully agree with what the Task Force proposes a little respect should at least be accorded to them . The Government does not even possess such a basic common sense
主席，最後，我們感到很詫異的是，有人在報告發表後詢問特首，而她表示照單全收並非負責任的行為。
President lastly we are very surprised to know that when someone asked the Chief Executive after the report was published she replied that it was not a responsible act to accept all of the recommendations indiscriminately
特首在綜援方面這麼涼薄，而羅致光局長說當大家有120歲壽命時，60歲是中年，那為何不說當大家有180歲壽命時，60歲是青年？
The Chief Executive has been so unsympathetic in respect of the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance whilst Secretary Dr LAW Chi - kwong has said that when we can live to 120 years old being 60 years old is just being middle - aged . Why does he not say that when we can live to 180 years old those aged 60 are just young people?
" 土地供應專責小組在2018年除夕公布進行了15個月的公眾諮詢結果，並提出8項主要建議，包括發展棕地、高爾夫球場和東大嶼都會等。
On the New Years Eve of 2018 the Task Force on Land Supply Task Force released the results of a 15 - month public consultation exercise and made eight key recommendations including developing brownfield sites the golf course and the East Lantau Metropolis
我的原議案和9項修正案均涉及不少專責小組的建議，稍後我和民主黨的議員會詳細講述我們對各項增加土地供應措施的看法。
My original motion and the nine amendments concern a number of recommendations of the Task Force . Members from the Democratic Party and I will spell out our views on various measures to increase land supply
專責小組舉行的記者招待會及1星期後特首的簡單回應，有數個場景令我印象十分深刻，值得一提，或者有助我們了解林太及其政府如何看待專責小組的角色。
As regards the press conference held by the Task Force and the brief response given by the Chief Executive a week later it is worth noting that several episodes have left a deep impression on me which may help us discern how Mrs LAM and her administration see the role of the Task Force
第一，當天在專責小組的記招，主席黃遠輝和副主席黃澤恩可說是罰站了1小時；第二，林太在上星期行政會議前的記招一方面表示認同專責小組就棕地和填海的建議，但一提到高球場，她則說要留待民政事務局就私人遊樂場地契約政策檢討的諮詢，還表示"採用研究建議與否是基於香港利益為依歸，這才是負責任政府所為......
First on the day of the press conference of the Task Force Chairman Stanley WONG and Vice - chairman Greg WONG were virtually made to stand for an hour . Second at the press conference before the meeting of the Executive Council last week Mrs LAM approved of the Task Forces recommendations relating to brownfield sites and reclamation . But when it came to the golf course she said it would be subject to the consultation on the Review on Policy of Private Recreational Leases conducted by the Home Affairs Bureau and added I quote Whether to adopt the recommendations of the study should be considered in the interests of Hong Kong which is the thing that a responsible government should do it would be irresponsible for the Government to uncritically accept what it is told by every consultant
如果政府對每個顧問的意見照單全收，並非負責任的做法。" 有留意新聞的市民如將上述場景、近日提高申領長者綜合社會保障援助的年齡、三隧分流，以及去年施政報告"搶閘"公布"明日大嶼"等建議的事件串連起來，能夠得出的結論是林太與其團隊對各項社會政策根本早有定案，公眾要做的只是就她認為正確的選項選擇"要或不要"，英文即"take it or leave it"。
unquote If members of the public who have kept an eye on the news link together such events as the aforesaid episodes the recent measure to raise the eligibility age for elderly Comprehensive Social Security Assistance the rationalization of traffic distribution among the three road harbour crossings and the announcement of proposals like the half - baked Lantau Tomorrow programme in the Policy Address last year they should be able to draw the conclusion that Mrs LAM and her team actually have a predetermined idea in mind . For an option that she thinks is correct the public need only to choose whether to take it or leave it
我進一步認為，林太覺得專責小組的作用只是為她的立場"背書"，所以我多個月前已說解決不了便諉過於黃遠輝，解決得到則歸功於林鄭月娥。
It is my further view that Mrs LAM thinks the Task Force serves only to endorse her position . That was why I already foretold months ago that the buck would be passed to Stanley WONG for failure while the credit would go to Mrs Carrie LAM for success
林太當然是強勢的政務官出身，但我要奉勸林太，在處理公共政策特別是土地和房屋問題時，這種唯我獨尊的態度只會激起民憤，因快得慢。
Mrs LAM certainly has a background as a dominant type of Administrative Officer . But I have a piece of advice for Mrs LAM . When handling public policies particularly land and housing issues such egotism will only provoke public anger and a hasty approach will get her nowhere
借用黃遠輝的一句話，任何土地選項也不會是"無痛方案"。
To quote from Stanley WONG no land option can be a painless proposal
如果林太與其團隊仍然堅持只需要部分人承擔，又或是仍然偏袒某些選項如高球場，她還怎會得到市民的信任呢？
If Mrs LAM and her team still insist that the burden should only be borne by some people or are still biased in favour of certain options such as the golf course how can she win public trust?
社會怎會信任她是為公眾利益覓地呢？
How can she convince the community that she is looking out for public interests in her search for land?
受影響人士如被收地的人又怎會心服口服呢？
How will the affected parties such as those who have had their lands resumed readily concede?
主席，說回我的議案內容，其實7項建議均旨在於最短時間內找到最多土地建屋或釋放更多現有單位以提供租盤。
Going back to my motion President the seven recommendations actually all seek to identify as much land as possible for housing construction or release more existing flats for rental purpose in the shortest possible time
即使無法完全解決社會面對的房屋問題，但最少能改善現時惡劣的住屋環境。
Even if it is not a total solution to the housing problems plaguing the community it can at least improve the existing atrocious living conditions
但在今天土地短缺的情況下，"順得哥情失嫂意"，如為他們編配單位，又會影響其他居屋申請者。
But given the shortage of land in Hong Kong today we just cannot get the best of both worlds . Allocation of flats for them will affect other applicants for HOS flats
當然，說到底仍然是供應短缺太嚴重的問題。
After all the root cause is still an acute shortage of supply
對於以上分析和數據，如果林太與其團隊仍然認為可以不發展高球場，而能單靠填海或把填海變成獨步單方，就是未能回應市民面對的迫切情況。
In view of the aforesaid analysis and data if Mrs LAM and her team still think that they can skip the development of the golf course and rely solely on reclamation or treating it as a panacea they are being unresponsive to the pressing situation faced by members of the public
要這批市民等待"明日大嶼"，15年或20年後才可解決他們的住屋問題，可說是不切實際。
It would be unrealistic to have these people wait for 15 or 20 years before their housing issues can be addressed by the Lantau Tomorrow programme
主席，或許讓我再提出較具爭議的兩點：第一，《香港2030+》預計香港未來的整體土地需求約為4,800公頃，即使把現時已有的項目全數開發，仍欠缺1,200公頃。
President perhaps let me raise two more points which are relatively controversial . First as estimated by Hong Kong 2030 our overall land requirement would be about 4 800 hectares in the future . Even with the development of all existing projects there would still be a shortfall of about 1 220 hectares
民主黨認為，即使只可取得當中30%至40%以新發展區模式進行發展，亦可解決最少一半的房屋供應問題。
The Democratic Party opines that even if only 30 % to 40 % of them can be secured for development under the new development area approach it can solve at least half of the problems relating to housing supply
此外，主席，在軍事用地方面，我留意到很多提出修正案的建制派議員很有趣，把我的議案第四點有關"與中央政府協商，將香港部分閒置或使用率偏低的軍事用地釋放作房屋發展用途"的內容刪去。
Moreover President as regards military sites I find it interesting that a number of amendment movers from the pro - establishment camp have deleted the fourth point that reads to negotiate with the Central Government for releasing certain idle or under - utilized military sites in Hong Kong for housing development purpose in my motion
今天早上我看到英國脫歐的問題，其實亦有困難，而我們在議事廳內辯論房屋問題，今天的辯論可能會產生明天的希望，亦可能會產生市民明天的無助與絕望。
This morning I have come across news about Brexit which is actually also a knotty issue . And now we are debating housing problems in the Chamber . The debate today may bring a hopeful future or may bring members of the public a helpless and hopeless future
因此，在這個牽涉香港人的下一代、再下一代，以及長遠發展的重要問題上，我認為我們有責任作出艱難的決定，並提出最佳方案。
I therefore think that on this critical issue that affects our next generation and the one that follows as well as the long - term development we are obliged to make a tough decision and propose the best possible plan
問題是這個機制如何進行？
The problem is how the mechanism is invoked
理論上，如果我們包括這句說話在內，我們是假設駐軍或中央軍委不時檢視有關土地是否需要作軍事用途，如果沒有軍事用途，便主動積極交回特區政府發展。
Theoretically speaking when the above is provided in the law we can assume that the Hong Kong Garrison or the Central Military Commission CMC will review the need of using the land sites for military purpose from time to time . In case there is no military usage it will on its own initiative return the sites to the SAR Government for development
所以，實際上，機制是怎樣呢？
Hence in practice how does the mechanism work?
我覺得這樣做，如果真的可行，其實也是好事，我懇請中央軍委主席習近平認真看看。
In my view it is also desirable if this proposal is feasible and I implore XI Jinping Chairman of CMC to seriously consider it
我覺得香港市民絕對不會搶軍事用地，因為設置軍事用地也是為了保障市民的安全，尤其現時的世界局勢也不穩定，國防是有需要的。
I think Hong Kong people will definitely not scramble for military sites as the purpose of military sites is for the protection of public safety . National defence is necessary especially when the global situation at present is unstable
所以，這做法是實際可行的。
Hence this proposal is practically feasible
但是，我們不是搶，而是問，如果中央政府真的覺得不需要有關土地，便交回香港人，就是這樣。
However we are not scrambling for the sites but are asking for them . If the Central Government really thinks that those land sites are not needed it should return them to Hong Kong people and that is my proposal
主席，本港房屋供不應求，已成為各階層市民最關注的民生問題。
President the short supply of housing in Hong Kong tops the list of livelihood issues that are of concern to people from various strata
政府最近公布的《長遠房屋策略》，將2019-2020年度至2028-2029年度10年期的房屋供應目標定於45萬個單位，同時將公私營房屋供應比例修訂為7：3。
In the recently announced Long Term Housing Strategy the Government set the housing supply target in the 10 - year period from 2019 - 2020 to 2028 - 2029 at 450 000 units and at the same time revised the ratio of public to private housing supply to 7col3
然而，沒有麵粉，何來麵包？
However without flour where will bread come from?
如果建屋用地未能妥善規劃以確保長期穩定供應，任何長遠房屋策略都可能淪為"畫餅充飢"。
If there is no proper planning of housing sites to ensure steady supply in the long term any long - term housing strategy may merely turn out to be drawing a cake to allay hunger
由於建屋土地供應嚴重不足，短中期的公營房屋供應要達致預期目標絕非易事。
Given the acute shortage of land supply for housing it is by no means easy for public housing supply to achieve the expected target in the short - to - medium term
主席，要解決房屋供應，必須設法開拓土地。
President to resolve the problem of housing supply it is necessary to make every effort to explore land
就此，社會各界必須尋求最大的共識，作妥善規劃，力求避免"頭痛醫頭，腳痛醫腳"。
In this connection various sectors in society must seek the greatest consensus and conduct proper planning to avoid the practice of treating the head when there is a headache and treating the leg when there is an aching leg
行政長官在2017年9月成立土地供應專責小組，以推動社會討論整體土地供應策略及相關選項的優次，並向政府提出建議。
In September 2017 the Chief Executive set up the Task Force on Land Supply to promote discussion in society on the overall land supply strategy and priorities of the relevant options and then make recommendations to the Government
專責小組曾開展以"增闢土地，你我抉擇"為題的公眾參與活動，並於去年年底向當局提交報告。
The Task Force launched a public engagement exercise entitled Land for Hong Kong Our Home Our Say and submitted a report to the authorities at the end of last year
正如不少社會人士指出，儘管專責小組付出的努力值得肯定，但專責小組在公眾參與活動中，以"茶樓點心紙"的形式羅列不同的土地供應選項，將錯綜複雜的土地供應議題過分簡單化，容易忽略某些選項可能帶來的不良後果，由此產生的政策建議就難免有失偏頗。
As pointed out by many members of the community the efforts of the Task Force are worthy of recognition but the Task Force set out different land supply options in the public engagement exercise like a dim sum order form oversimplifying the intricate land supply issue . Adverse consequences which might be brought by certain options would easily be overlooked . The resulting policy recommendations would inevitably be biased
最顯而易見的是，專責小組報告將"利用私人遊樂場地契約用地作其他用途"列作3個"短中期選項"之一，並認為"值得政府優先研究及考慮收回粉嶺高爾夫球場粉錦公路以東32公頃用地的局部方案"。
A most obvious case in point is that the report of the Task Force listed alternative uses of sites under private recreational leases as one of the three short - to - medium term options and considered it is worthwhile for the Government to accord priority to studying and resuming the 32 hectares of land of the Fanling Golf Course to the east of Fan Kam Road under the partial option
然而，這項建議引起很大的爭議，不少社會人士認為粉嶺高爾夫球場並不適宜作房屋發展用途，箇中考慮因素包括球場本身在文物建築、本土文化、自然生態、體育及旅遊發展等方面，均具有獨特的價值。
However this recommendation has aroused a great controversy . Many members of the community find the Fanling Golf Course unsuitable for housing development . The factors of consideration include the unique value of the golf course in such aspects as heritage natural ecology sports tourism development etc
同時，自1959年起，粉嶺高爾夫球場每年均舉辦國際高爾夫球賽， 貿然收回球場勢必影響香港高爾夫球運動的發展和香港的國際形象。
Moreover since 1959 international golf tournaments have been hosted annually in the Fanling Golf Course . Rash resumption of the golf course will certainly affect the development of golf sport in Hong Kong and Hong Kongs international image
此外，根據規劃署及土木工程拓展署委託工程顧問公司在2018年2月完成的《發展新界北部地區初步可行性研究》，即使全面收回高爾夫球場發展，可興建的單位數目不會太多。
Besides according to the Preliminary Feasibility Study on Developing the New Territories North completed in February 2018 by the project consultant commissioned by the Planning Department and the Civil Engineering and Development Department even if the whole golf course is resumed for development the number of housing units which can be constructed will not be large
在實際操作上亦不像坊間所言般容易，既需時重置全部或部分土地，也要擴闊粉錦公路等交通基建，甚至要遷移輸送東江水的水管。
The actual operation will not be as easy as what is said in the community either . Full or partial reprovisioning of the site will take time . There is also the need to broaden transport infrastructure such as Fan Kam Road and even to relocate the aqueduct for conveying Dongjiang water
因此，我認為特區政府應從社會整體利益出發，審慎考慮專責小組提出的各個土地選項建議，不宜照單全收。
Hence I think the Special Administrative Region SAR Government should prudently consider various land supply options recommended by the Task Force from the overall interest of society . It is inappropriate to accept all of them in entirety
不過，專責小組認為本港實際土地短缺數字遠高於《香港2030+：跨越2030年的規劃遠景與策略》所估算的1,200公頃，而短期的土地短缺情況尤為嚴峻，相信大家均認同。
Nevertheless I believe we all agree with the view of the Task Force that the actual land shortage in Hong Kong is far more than 1 200 hectares as estimated in Hong Kong 2030 Towards a Planning Vision and Strategy Transcending 2030 and the situation of land shortage in the short term is particularly dire
至於如何有效開拓土地，社會必須理性討論，盡快達成最大的共識。
Concerning how to effectively find more land society must hold rational discussion and reach the greatest consensus as soon as possible
我認為，在深入探討不同土地選項的利弊之前，大家應確立兩項基本的認知和原則。
In my view before examining the pros and cons of different land supply options in depth we should affirm two basic premises and principles
