這做法的確有果效，可令吸煙人數下降，尤其是 降低年青人的吸煙率，這點基本上無容爭拗。
This practice is really effective in lowering the number of smokers particularly in lowering the smoking prevalence among young people . This is basically indisputable
可惜，到了2017年，我們成為非常落後的地方。
Regrettably by 2017 we will have become most backward in this respect
其實，我們對於煙草商和煙害的問題，實在非常包容。
In fact we have been extremely tolerant of tobacco companies in handling the problem of smoking hazards
究竟邵家輝議員所說的選擇權，是否值得我們花這般努力和時間來拖延，以至包容這個選擇權呢？
As for the right to choose mentioned by Mr SHIU Ka - fai does it worth our effort and time to procrastinate and even tolerate such right to choose?
我想指出，這個選擇權是有代價的，而且是代價不菲。
I would like to point out that there is a cost for this right to choose
本地的研究有否顯示這代價有多大呢？
The cost is high . Are there any local studies showing the cost incurred?
港大醫學院在2000年至2004年期間進行了一項為期4年的煙害評估，包括吸煙和二手煙所引致的疾病對香港帶來的經濟損失，當中主要涉及一些所謂提早死亡的個案。
This is the figure for 2005 . The Faculty of Medicine of HKU conducted a four - year assessment of smoking hazards between 2000 and 2004 which included the economic cost of diseases caused by active and passive smoking in Hong Kong mainly involving premature deaths
至於求診、長期護理或醫療方面的損失，也分別達到26億元和9億元。
The losses arising from consultations and long - term care or health care were 2.6 billion and 900 million respectively
換言之，在2005年，港大已經發表了一份科學性的研究，指出香港每年正損失50億元。
In other words in 2005 HKU had published a scientific study stating that Hong Kong was losing 5 billion per annum
研究發現在65歲至84歲的吸煙長者中，每3個便有1個死於吸煙，即死於肺癌或冠心病等疾病。
The study found that among older smokers aged 65 to 84 one out of every three would be killed by smoking - induced diseases that is lung cancer and coronary heart diseases
接下來的一年，港大再根據全港18區長者健康中心的數據進行研究，發現情況更惡劣。
In the following year HKU studied the data collected from 18 Elderly Health Centres under the Department of Health and found the situation even worse
結果顯示在65歲以上的吸煙長者中，每2人便最少有1人因吸煙而死亡；在85歲以上的群組，每4人中最少有1人因吸煙而死亡。
Results indicated that among older smokers aged 65 and above at least one out of two died of smoking; and in the group aged 85 and above at least one out of four died of smoking
因此，主席，我認為我們今天是走得太慢，但礙於修訂令的限制，我沒有辦法，只能將修正維持在90%，即使我原本的意願是百分之一百。
Hence President I think our pace is too slow today . However due to the restriction of the Amendment Order I cannot but contain my amendment to 90 % coverage though I mean to raise it to 100 %
不過，這種喜好要付出代價，便是健康的代價，也會帶來經濟影響，而最糟糕的是會影響周邊的人。
But this personal preference carries a price . It costs ones health and causes adverse economic impacts . And the worst thing is that it will affect the people around him
如果"長毛"在席，他一定會說政府今天的做法是偽善的。
If Long Hair were present he would definitely dismiss the Governments practice today as hypocritical
政府今天提出擴大健康忠告圖像的比例，希望減少市民吸煙或令更多人在看到警告後不再吸煙，我當然支持這建議。
Today the Government proposes to increase the proportion of health warning images in the hope of reducing smoking among people and encouraging more people to quit smoking after seeing the relevant warnings
便是大財團和煙草公司。
To large consortia and tobacco companies
政府今天提出修訂命令，希望擴大健康忠告圖像佔煙包的比例，從而減少市民吸煙，此舉會直接影響大財團的利益。
The Amendment Order proposed by the Government today to increase the proportion of health warning images on cigarette packets as a means to reduce smoking among people will directly affect the interests of large consortia
第一，是政府的控煙和控酒工作完全不成比例。
First the Governments tobacco control and alcohol control efforts are utterly disproportionate
政府現時表示要加大控煙力度，因此推出很多反吸煙宣傳，但在控酒方面卻恰恰相反，見諸於政府不久前豁免紅酒稅和酒稅，以期積極地將香港打造成為紅酒中心，把紅酒視為一盤生意。
These days the Government talks about the need for enhanced tobacco control so it launches many anti - smoking publicity campaigns . But the case of alcohol control is exactly the opposite as reflected by the Governments recent exemption of duty on red wine and alcohol as a proactive means to develop Hong Kong into a red wine hub and also its perception of red wine as a business
然而，酒同樣會帶來健康影響，酒後駕駛會引致交通意外，造成人命傷亡。
Nevertheless drinking likewise causes health impacts . Drink driving may cause traffic accidents and casualties
吸煙影響健康是必然的，但喝酒會否造成負面健康影響，現時仍有相當大的爭議，更有說法指適量喝酒可以促進健康。
Smoking definitely affects ones health . But at present the question of whether drinking will adversely affect our health remains highly disputable . There is even the assertion that moderate drinking may offer some health benefits
或者，他酒後駕駛引致交通意外，造成人命傷亡，這當然是我們需要高度關注的問題。
Or if drink drivers cause traffic accidents involving casualties then we will certainly give it huge attention
因此，我贊 成在酒精飲品的包裝上加上警告字句，這做法我絕對支持，也絕對支持徵收酒稅。
For these reasons I agree to the affixation of warnings to the packaging of alcoholic beverages . I certainly support this approach and also the imposition of a wine duty
我不是醫生，而我一直關注弱勢社群。
I am not a doctor and all along I have been concerned about the underprivileged
弱勢社群中有不少煙民。
Many underprivileged people are smokers
香港每年要花多少錢或喪失多少生產力是其次，最重要的是市民的健康。
The expenditure incurred by Hong Kong or the scale of its productivity loss every year is my secondary concern . The most important consideration of all is peoples health
我們明知吸煙危害健康，為何不可以盡用所有措施減少市民吸煙呢？
We are well aware of the health hazards of smoking . Why is it impossible to take all possible steps to reduce smoking among people?
這是不值得的，亦不應該發生。
This price is not worth paying; neither should this happen
我現在請食物及衞生局局長答辯，之後辯論即告結束。
I now call upon the Secretary for Food and Health to reply . Thereafter the debate will come to a close
由於議題未獲得兩部分在席議員分別以過半數贊成，他於是宣布議案被否決。
Since the question was not agreed by a majority of each of the two groups of Members present he therefore declared that the motion was negatived
邵家輝議員，請動議你的第二項議案。
Mr SHIU Ka - fai you may move your second motion
所以，代理主席，以下我會集中討論九巴的職工安全與利潤管制之間的關係。
In this connection Deputy President in my following discussion I will focus on the relationship between the safety of the employees of KMB and profit control
第一，無論是在有關巴士服務的條例或相關的交通條例下，有關專業駕駛者服用藥物的標準並不清晰。
First a clear standard is lacking for the use of drugs by professional drivers under ordinances relating to bus services or relevant transport ordinances
於是，很多車長唯有購買成藥服用，但有關的藥物會否導致昏睡、會否影響駕駛表現，甚或構成危險駕駛呢？
Such being the case many bus captains can only buy and take proprietary medicines . But will these medicines cause drowsiness or affect their performance in driving or even constitute dangerous driving?
在年初發生這宗案例之後，我認為九巴和政府當局應該進行檢討，研究可否為專業駕駛者訂出比較清晰的藥物名單，令無論是資方或勞方也可按照名單行事，以提供更安全的服務。
After this accident that occurred early this year I think KMB and the Administration should conduct a review and look into whether a clear list of drugs can be drawn up for professional drivers so that the management or the employees can act in accordance with this list to provide safer services
剛才很多議員提出巴士何時到達或是否準點的問題，這些是服務質素的問題，但我認為最基本的是駕駛是否安全，尤其是新界東和新界西有很多長途巴士路線。
Earlier on many Members raised the issue of the timing or punctuality of bus arrivals which has to do with the service quality . But I think the most fundamental point is the safety of driving especially with respect to the many long - haul bus routes in New Territories East and New Territories West
所以，第一，對於巴士司機的身體健康，我們必須修補政策上的漏洞。
Therefore firstly for the sake of the health of bus drivers it is imperative to mend the loopholes in the policies
第二，該宗事件引起爭議的一點，是事件涉及的巴士司機在去年9月曾經檢驗身體，而巴士公司卻不願意透露其驗身報告是否合格，但仍讓他繼續駕駛。
Secondly the accident has aroused a point of contention because the bus driver in question took a physical examination in September last year . But the bus company unwilling to disclose whether the driver passed the physical examination let him perform his driving duties all the same
究竟其驗身結果是否符合駕駛要求？
Did his health check results meet the requirements for driving?
我認為政府當局可以運用權力，要求巴士公司提供更整全的驗身制度，以保障乘客和巴士司機的安全。
I think the Administration can exercise its powers to require bus companies to put in place a more comprehensive health check system to protect the safety of passengers and bus drivers
同時，這也可以幫助巴士公司節省一些沒必要的危險成本，對嗎？
Meanwhile this can also enable bus companies to save unnecessary costs of risk right?
除了這兩點之外，也引發出很多其他討論，其中一項亦與利潤管制有關，便是職工的薪酬待遇。
These two points aside many other aspects are also relevant to this discussion here . One of these aspects which also relates to profit control is employees salaries and fringe benefits
我剛才說到巴士司機的身體健康狀況，有人可能會說每個人或有一些別人不知道的隱疾；但其實目前的制度中有一些規定，我認為值得商榷。
Just now I talked about the health conditions of bus drivers and some people may say that every person may have some hidden health conditions not known to other people but in the current system there are some requirements which I think are open to question
相關的地方是我希望局長和政府當局可以藉着今次有關利潤管制的商議作出跟進，因為當中涉及成本和所謂"補底利潤"的討論，而職工薪酬是其中一項成本。
They are related in that I hope the Secretary and the Administration can follow up the issue through this negotiation on profit control as it involves the discussion on cost and the so - called guaranteed profit and employees salaries are part of the cost
現時的問題是，資方正在利用這種方法壓低員工的薪酬待遇，同時在另一方面卻用盡方法加價賺取利潤，這才是問題所在；但是，再延伸下去，正如我剛才討論時所說，當中的一轉一收，所影響的是服務使用者的安全。
The problem now is that the management is employing this means to suppress employees salaries and at the same time seeking to increase the fares to reap profits by all means . This is where the problem lies . But when things go on like this as I said in my discussion earlier changing the employment terms and withholding employees benefits will only take toll on the safety of service users
所以，我想補充的最後一點是，現在的問題不單在於薪酬，而是我們應該同時看一看，從勞方的角度來說，如何在賺取利潤的同時，令職工具備基本的資格或符合指標，令服務使用者和整個社會享用巴士服務時，能夠有一個安全、舒適和更有效率的標準。
Therefore I wish to add one last point . The problem now is not only about salaries . Rather we should at the same time review from the perspective of the employees how the company can in the course of making profits enable its employees to meet the basic requirements or standards so that service users and the community at large can enjoy bus services of a standard that ensures safety comfort and greater efficiency
我再次提醒議員，在發言時應集中討論這項議案的議題，即九巴的新專營權不受"利潤管制計劃"規限。
I remind Members again that in their discussion they should focus on the question of this motion that is the new franchise of KMB is not subject to the Profit Control Scheme
《修訂令》主要旨在增加香煙和雪茄等煙草產品的健康忠告面積，其中香煙正面及背面的健康忠告面積由現時各佔包裝的50%，增加至各佔85%；雪茄的正面及背面的健康忠告面積亦由各佔包裝的50%，增加至正面佔70%，背面佔100%，而且增加12款健康忠告圖像，取代現時只有6款忠告圖像。
The Order seeks mainly to increase the coverage of health warnings on packets of tobacco products such as cigarettes and cigars . The coverage of health warnings on the front and back sides of tobacco packets is increased from the current 50 % to 85 % ; the relevant coverage is increased from the current 50 % to 70 % on the front and 100 % on the back for containers of cigars . Moreover the number of graphic health warnings is increased from 6 to 12
特區政府提出一套新的健康忠告圖像，並增加健康忠告圖像佔煙草產品正、背兩面包裝的絕大部分面積，從而希望減低市民購買煙草產品的意欲，加強控煙效果。
The Government has proposed a new set of graphic health warnings and increased their coverage on the front and back sides of packets of tobacco products in the hope of reducing peoples desire to purchase tobacco products and thereby enhancing the effectiveness of tobacco control
就我本人而言，增加煙草產品的健康忠告圖像面積，或者更換新的健康忠告圖像，難以影響我會否繼續購買煙草產品的決定。
Personally increasing the coverage of health warnings on tobacco packets or replacing graphic health warnings with new ones will hardly influence my decision on purchasing tobacco products
我認為，今次特區政府在處理增加煙草產品健康忠告圖像時，在某程度上已顧及有關平衡。
I believe the Government has to a certain extent taken into account this balance when increasing the number of graphic health warnings on this occasion
綜觀今次特區政府提出增加煙草產品健康忠告圖像一事，煙草業界面對的主要困難包括：軟包香煙的包裝封條將會遮蔽小部分健康忠告圖像，因而無法符合法例健康忠告圖像佔香煙包裝正、背兩面85%的規定。
Insofar as the Governments proposal to increase the coverage of the health warnings on packets of tobacco products the major difficulties faced by the tobacco industry include as the seal on soft pack cigarettes covers a small portion of the graphic health warning it is impossible to comply with the statutory requirement that the health warning must cover 85 % of the front and back sides of cigarette packets; in respect of cigar products it is required that the health warning must cover 100 % of the back side of the container
首先，軟包香煙主要透過一條封條連接煙包兩面的頂端，從而防止在開啟煙包之後，香煙從頂部跌出。
First a seal connecting the top of the two sides of soft pack cigarettes prevents cigarettes from falling out from the top once the packet is opened
因此，軟包香煙的頂部必須要有封條，而且封條亦會遮蔽香煙正、背兩面頂部部分位置。
Hence it is necessary to have a seal on the top of soft pack cigarettes and the seal does cover a portion of the front and the back sides of the packet
雖然，當局在審議《修訂令》時指出，海外有部分軟包香煙採用透明膠紙作為封條，並認為香港出售的軟包香煙都可以依樣畫葫蘆改用透明膠紙封條，取代現時的舊式封條。
During the scrutiny of the Amendment Order the Administration has pointed out that as transparent seals are used on soft pack cigarettes in other countries soft pack cigarettes sold in Hong Kong can borrow their example and replace the old seals with transparent seals
不過，軟包香煙在香港只佔極小的市場份額，而且香港出售的軟包香煙的主要生產商，並不具備使用透明膠紙封條的生產機器，有關生產商根本沒有足夠的能力，在12個月的寬限期內更換有關生產設備，而更換有關生產設備亦不合乎成本效益。
However as soft pack cigarettes only take up an extremely small market share and the main manufacturer of soft pack cigarettes in Hong Kong does not possess production machinery to use transparent seals the relevant manufacturer is not capable of replacing the equipment within the 12 - month grace period and such a replacement will not be cost - effective
與此同時，《修訂令》要求盒裝雪茄產品背面的健康忠告圖像必須佔包裝背面面積的100%。
Meanwhile the Amendment Order requires that the graphic health warning must cover 100 % of the back side of the containers of cigar products
由於雪茄產品的健康忠告圖像，是進口商在產品進口香港後自行貼上，因此在實際操作上，難以保證用人手 貼上的健康忠告圖像能準確地覆蓋包裝背面的100%。
As graphic health warnings of cigar products are manually affixed to the containers by the importer after the products are imported into Hong Kong it is difficult in practice to ensure that they accurately cover 100 % of the back side of the container
特區政府所作出的種種考慮，能夠在加強控煙措施與顧及煙草業界實際運作之間取得平衡，我認為是務實和值得支持的。
The considerations made by the Government can strike a balance between strengthening tobacco control measures and the practical operation of the tobacco industry . I find them pragmatic and worth supporting
代理主席，我想在此就這項《條例草案》提出一點簡單的意見。
Deputy President I would like to put forth some simple views on the Bill here
不過我亦要指出，將來在《條例草案》出台後，當局應提醒公眾他們擁有的權利。
Nonetheless I must also point out that when the Bill is introduced in future the authorities should remind the public of the rights to which they are entitled
第二，代理主席，當前這項《條例草案》將會採取一個"輕力度"的規管模式，而這亦是其他普通法司法管轄區正採用的模式。
Second Deputy President the present Bill adopts a light touch regulatory approach an approach now adopted by other common law jurisdictions
對我來說，先嘗試"輕力度"的規管模式是可以接受和合理的做法。
In my view it is acceptable and reasonable to try the light touch regulatory approach first
至於在為期3年的首段期間，我希望當局會密切注視實施情況，特別是對第三方資助的行為和操守，必須有密切監察。
During the initial period of three years I hope the authorities will pay close attention to the implementation particularly on the practice and integrity concerning third party funding . Close monitoring is a must
因為如非出現很壞的情況，或自安排推行後出現一些不法行為或違規情況，我認為這種"輕力度"的規管模式將來是可以繼續的。
Barring the worst case scenario or if no illegal activity or violation takes place after implementation I think this light touch regulatory approach may continue in future
然而，我希望當局在實施期間，特別是在首3年，要繼續密切注視和監察有關情況。
However I hope that during the implementation particularly in the first three years the authorities will pay close attention to and closely monitor the relevant situation
最後一點，代理主席，在法案委員會討論的過程中，有一點出現了比較長時間的爭論，便是法律界執業律師或大律師能否參與第三方資助的業務。
Lastly Deputy President during the discussions at the Bills Committee there was a relatively long debate over the following point that is whether or not practicing lawyers and barristers in the legal sector should be allowed to engage in third party funding business
在此，我可以告訴大家，法案委員會在討論過程中確實出現比較激烈的爭論。
I can tell Members here that during the discussions at the Bills Committee there had been heated debates over this point
今次政府最後就修正案作出的決定，是聽取了很多委員的意見。
This time around in making the decision on the final amendments the Government has heeded the many views expressed by Members
最終的修正案內容是指，只要有關律師並非代表仲裁的任何一方行事的話，其參與第三方資助應該是可以接受的，亦不會違反所謂包攬訴訟的法則。
According to the final amendments if a lawyer is not acting for any party to the arbitration his engagement in third party funding will be acceptable and not in violation of the regulation against champerty
可是，如果有關律師正代表訴訟的其中一方，他當然不能為第三方資助者或參與相關業務，恐防引起利益衝突。
However if the lawyer is acting for a party to the arbitration he certainly should not be the third party funder or engage in the related business to avoid conflicts of interest
就此，政府亦作出了相應的修訂，我個人對政府的修正案表示歡迎。
In this connection the Government has made corresponding amendments and I welcome the Governments amendments
最後，代理主席，我希望這項《條例草案》的生效，可以進一步促進香港在仲裁方面的業務，並可繼續推動香港作為一個國際仲裁中心，鞏固我們這方面的地位。
Lastly Deputy President I hope the commencement of the Bill will further enhance the development of arbitration business in Hong Kong so that we can continue to promote Hong Kong as an international arbitration centre and consolidate our status on this front
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：《實體貨幣及不記名可轉讓票據跨境流動條例草案》，予以二讀。
I now put the question to you and that is That the Cross - boundary Movement of Physical Currency and Bearer Negotiable Instruments Bill be read the Second time
《實體貨幣及不記名可轉讓票據跨境流動條例草案》。
Cross - boundary Movement of Physical Currency and Bearer Negotiable Instruments Bill
在2017年6月6日的小組委員會會議上，委員已完成有關公告的審 議工作。
Members completed the scrutiny of the Notice at the Subcommittee meeting on 6 June 2017
我會在2017年6月16日的內務委員會會議上匯報小組委員會的工作。
I will report on the work of the Subcommittee at the House Committee meeting on 16 June 2017
為了讓小組委員會有足夠時間向內務委員會提交報告，我謹以小組委員會主席的身份，動議將該項附屬法例的審議期限，延展至2017年7月12日。
In order to allow sufficient time for the Subcommittee to submit a report to the House Committee in my capacity as Chairman of the Subcommittee I move that the scrutiny period of the aforementioned subsidiary legislation be extended to 12 July 2017
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：《實體貨幣及不記名可轉讓票據跨境流動條例草案》予以三讀並通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the Cross - boundary Movement of Physical Currency and Bearer Negotiable Instruments Bill be read the Third time and do pass
在2017年5月26日的內務委員會會議上，議員決定成立小組委員會，研究《2017年水務設施規例》。
At the House Committee meeting on 26 May 2017 Members decided to form a subcommittee to scrutinize the Waterworks Amendment Regulation 2017
為了讓小組委員會有足夠時間進行審議，我謹以小組委員會主席的身份，動議將該項附屬法例的審議期限，延展至2017年7月12日。
In order to allow sufficient time for scrutiny by the Subcommittee in my capacity as Chairman of the Subcommittee I move that the scrutiny period of the aforementioned subsidiary legislation be extended to 12 July 2017
主席，我謹請議員支持議案。
President I urge Members to support this motion
我請黃定光議員發言及動議議案。
I call upon Mr WONG Ting - kwong to speak and move the motion
民主黨支持政府進行控煙和加強控煙工作。
The Democratic Party supports the Governments tobacco control effort and its stepping up of the same
吸煙固然是個人選擇，其利弊社會都非常清楚。
Smoking is certainly a personal choice and its merits and demerits are pretty obvious
但是，我們最關注的是，吸煙本身雖然是個人選擇，但也影響一些非吸煙者的健康。
Our greatest concern is although smoking per se is a personal choice it affects the health of some non - smokers
很多市民都知道吸二手煙可能比直接吸煙更加危險，更加影響健康。
Many members of the public know that passive smoking could be even more dangerous than active smoking and inflicts more serious harms on health
吸煙會影響小朋友、下一代，他們可能會模仿，養成吸煙的習慣。他們可能在家庭裏看到父母和家人吸煙。
Smoking will also affect children and future generations who might develop a smoking habit through imitation for they might see their parents or other family members smoke at home
他們無論在家看到家人的煙包，或在報攤或便利店看到香煙封包的圖像警示，都會因而對吸煙產生不同的整體觀感。
The graphic warnings printed on the cigarette packets of their family members at home or those sold at newspaper stands or convenience stores could have given them different overall impressions of smoking
但是，我們不需要將吸煙人士妖魔化、標籤，說吸煙不道德，亦沒有需要化身成為道德衞士，說吸煙絕對不正確。
There is no need for us to demonize or label smokers describing smoking as an unethical act . Neither is there a need for us to become a moral guardian saying it is wrong to smoke
但是，的而且確，吸煙者和非吸煙者之間，不是絕對對立的，我身邊有很多我形容為比較文明的吸煙朋友。
Indeed smokers and non - smokers are not absolutely confrontational . I have many friends whom I describe as civilized smokers
這些正正就是社會上，非吸煙和吸煙者之間的互相尊重。
All this precisely demonstrates that there is mutual respect between smokers and non - smokers
在互相不影響的情況下，我們覺得兩者應該可以並存。
In our opinion they should be able to co - exist without affecting each other
這項建議雖然引起業界的反對聲音，但也已經過長時間討論及諮詢。
Despite voices of opposition from the industry this proposal has already gone through a long period of discussion and consultation
邵家輝議員建議把圖像警示的面積減小至最少65%，我們認為他的建議正正與政府進一步加強控煙的方向背道而馳，好像走回頭路一般，所以民主黨是難以支持的。
In our opinion the proposal put forward by Mr SHIU Ka - fai to reduce the coverage of graphic warnings to at least 65 % runs counter to the Governments direction of further stepping up tobacco control as if he is backtracking . Hence the Democratic Party can hardly support Mr SHIUs proposal
其實小組委員會對此有很深刻的討論。
Actually the Subcommittee has held in - depth discussions on this issue
政府亦 提交很多世界各地的例子，讓我們看到其實平裝是國際社會的趨向。
Moreover the Government has presented many examples from around the world to show that plain packaging is the trend of the international community
我個人對此深表支持，認為平裝亦有其好處。
Personally I greatly support plain packaging and consider that it has merits
正如我剛才所說，兒童或受"二手煙"影響的人也能因而受惠，甚至本身是吸煙的人也可能因而想減少吸煙。
As I pointed out earlier children and passive smokers might also stand to benefit . Even smokers themselves might wish to smoke less as a result
儘管如此，我們認為平裝是未來要走的下一步，我希望政府會就這此作廣泛諮詢及研究。
That said we consider plain packaging to be the next step to be taken in the future . I hope the Government can conduct extensive consultations and studies on it
綜合以上的理據，我們會投票支持政府《修訂令》的建議，但不會支持其他議員提出的修正案。
Based on the aforesaid justifications we will vote in support of the proposals put forward in the Amendment Order but we will not support the amendments proposed by other Members
趁此機會，我們希望政府明白，如果我們要在整體社會加強進一步的控煙工作，無論在法例或社區層面上，都有很多重要工作。
I would like to take this opportunity to tell the Government we hope it can understand that a lot of important work has to be done if we are to further step up tobacco control in society as a whole at the legal or social level
我們已就此多次向政府提出，卻仍未聽到政府說會進行任何公眾諮詢或實質研究。
Although we have put forward our proposals to the Government repeatedly we have still not heard the Government say that any public consultation or concrete study would be conducted
我們亦提出要加強社區層面的控煙工作。
Furthermore we propose that tobacco control be enhanced at the community level
市民多次投訴，無論在巴士站或行人天橋等地方，均受到"二手煙"的滋擾，我們接獲大量這方面的投訴。
We have received a lot of complaints from members of the public claiming repeatedly that passive smoking has caused nuisances to them in such places as bus stops and footbridges
香港有關吸煙的法例，其實是落後於世界的。
Smoking - related laws in Hong Kong are actually lagging behind those in other parts of the world
在外地的控煙法例下，餐廳或食肆等處所的禁煙範圍和方式都要較香港多而全面。
Under their tobacco control laws the scope of no smoking areas on such premises as restaurants and eateries and the ways of imposing smoking bans outside Hong Kong are more numerous and comprehensive than the case in Hong Kong
在公眾地方，包括大廈、建築物出入口等，外地對吸煙的管制也較香港嚴厲。
Tobacco control in public places such as buildings and their access points is also more stringent outside Hong Kong than the case in Hong Kong
所以，希望藉着支持政府《修訂令》的建議，在未來的日子，我們可以看到政府在社區層面和法例修訂上，對加強控煙工作更有具體的承擔。
Hence through supporting the proposals put forward in the Amendment Order I hope we will see the Government make more specific commitment to stepping up tobacco control at the community level and in introducing legislative amendments in the future
主席，我動議二讀《2017年中醫藥條例草案》，以落實以下賦予衞生署署長法定權力發出中藥安全令的立法建議。
President I move the Second Reading of the Chinese Medicine Amendment Bill 2017 the Bill in order to implement the legislative proposal for conferring statutory power on the Director of Health to issue a Chinese medicine safety order
2014年3月，衞生署基於對公眾健康的考慮，指令一個持牌中成藥批發商從市面收回兩款未經註冊的中成藥。
In March 2014 the Department of Health DH instructed a licensed wholesaler of proprietary Chinese medicines to recall two unregistered proprietary Chinese medicines from the market on grounds of public health
該批發商其後申請司法覆核，質疑衞生署署長作出收回指令的法律權力。
The wholesaler concerned subsequently applied for leave to challenge by way of judicial review the legal power of the Director to issue the instruction to recall
