我們更明白，某些人認為這些聲請人，全部也是他們口中所謂的"假難民"，他們被統一審核機制裁定要遣返原國後申請司法覆核，只是為了希望延長逗留在香港的時間，但這些只是作出這些指控的人的聲稱。
Furthermore we understand that some people consider all such claimants to be as what they call them bogus refugees who applied for judicial reviews only in the hope of prolonging their stay in Hong Kong after they had been screened out under the unified screening mechanism USM and were pending repatriation to their countries of origin but these are only the claims of those making the allegations
我們明白有這 種情況，但是否足以構成今次重大的制度修改呢？
We understand that such cases are present but is it sufficient to constitute a cause for introducing material changes in the system?
主席，因此，3人這個數字絕對不是隨便訂出，而是經過多年驗證，認為這是既可以保障各方法律權利，亦可以合乎經濟效益的最佳人數。
Hence President a 3 - Judge bench is definitely not set at will which has been tested over the years and considered to be cost - effective and the best for protecting the legal rights of all parties
主席，經濟效益不單是考慮法庭的工作效率，亦要顧及與訟各方的利益。
As far as economic benefits are concerned President not only the work efficiency of law courts but also the interests of all parties involved should be taken into account
雖然，司法機構政務處在法案委員會的會議上表示，兩名法官未能達成一致裁決的例子少之又少，這一點我是理解的，但對司法覆核申請人而言，每宗個案也是他們的全部，他們不會理會在1萬宗個案中，只有1宗或5宗出現上述情況，因為只要他有機會成為出現問題的一宗，他便要面臨額外等待時間，支付額外法律費用，受到額外的煎熬。
Although the Judiciary Administration remarked at the Bills Committees meeting that it was very rare for the two judges fail to reach a unanimous decision which I do understand each case means everything to the applicant concerned . It does not mean anything to the applicant no matter if only one or five out of 10 000 cases falls into that category because he may have to spend extra waiting times pay additional legal costs and undergo further suffering as long as something may go wrong with his case
政府當局在這個時候才作出修例，是否真的可對症下藥呢？
Has the Administration really hit the nail on the head by amending the legislation concerned now?
主席，退一萬步來說，到了法庭處理完所有免遣返聲請個案，案件數量回復正常的時候，司法機構屆時又會否拜託律政司前來立法會修改法例，把法官數目由2名變回3名呢？
President even if it goes that way but will the Judiciary ask the Secretary for Justice to come here again to amend the law in order to resume the 3 - Judge bench by the time the courts have finished processing all the non - refoulement claims and the caseloads have returned to normal levels?
主席，案件的數量多寡是短暫的，整個制度的改變卻是長遠，甚至可能是永久的。
President the ups and downs in the number of cases are brief but the changes in the whole system last long and may even be permanent
就這一點，我希望大家深思熟慮，在表決之前想清楚。
I hope Members will ponder this point and think it out before voting
就這一點，大律師公會在2019年6月21日的意見書中說得非常清楚，懇切地指出特區政府今次建議的改動，就正如我剛才所說，對制度的影響是長遠的。
In this connection the Hong Kong Bar Association made it very clear in its written submission dated 21 June 2019 and sincerely pointed out that the changes proposed by the SAR Government this time will as I have said just now have far - reaching impacts on the system
當案件一步一步的進入瓶頸階段的時候，當然會面臨大量累積的個案，而根據特區政府的經驗，以往當入境事務處 需要人手，瓶頸在入境處的時候，入境處就會增加人手；當瓶頸在上訴委員會的時候，就會增加上訴委員會的人手。
There will certainly be a large backlog of cases when caseloads gradually enter the bottleneck stage . According to the SAR Governments past experience the Immigration Department would increase its manpower as necessary when facing a bottleneck in manpower; when the appeal board was facing a bottleneck in manpower it would increase its manpower
現時瓶頸在司法機構，為何真正解決問題的方法不是增加人手？
And now it is the Judiciary which is facing a bottleneck in manpower but why increasing manpower is not taken as the real solution then?
為何我們現時聽不到司法機構嘗試聘請更多法官處理相關的問題呢？
Why we have not heard anything about the Judiciarys attempt to appoint more judges to deal with the problem?
當然，我明白今時今日聘請法官絕不容易，特別是2020年這樣的環境下，究竟還有多少有志之士願意加入司法機構呢？
Of course I understand that it is absolutely no easy task to recruit judges nowadays . Given a particular situation like that of 2020 how many aspirant people are still willing to join the Judiciary?
來港求助的外國人得到公平審核的機會之後，自然無須多走一步進入司法機構尋求濟助，而在這個過程之中，我們更需要積極培訓的不是法官而是當中的人員，教導他們不要只倚賴網上資料，因為這樣做是真正的危險。
Naturally a foreigner who has come to Hong Kong for help need not go one step further to approach the Judiciary to apply for leave should he be given a fair screening . Throughout the screening process we need to proactively train the screening officers and not judges who should be taught not to rely solely on information on the Internet because so doing is really dangerous
主席，到了今時今日，我明白我們動輒還說在法庭上尋找公義、法治、法庭的公平標準，意義可能已經不大，但司法機構作為香港法 治的代表，無論形勢多麼惡劣，有一些原則仍然要靠司法機構秉持、堅持。
President I understand that it may be of little significance for us to all too easily nowadays speak of seeking justice from law courts law and order as well as the courts standard of fairness . However we still depend on the Judiciary as the representative of the rule of law in Hong Kong to uphold certain principles no matter how bad the situation has become particularly when judicial independence has come under challenge for the time being
特別是目前司法獨立備受挑戰，我們希望司法機構所作的改動，並不是因為一時的效率而犧牲了一些最根本的原則，因為有很多東西改動了便無法回頭。
We hope that the changes introduced by the Judiciary are not meant to bring about only ephemeral improvement in efficiency at the expense of some of the most fundamental principles because in most cases there will be no going back once changes are made
我謹此陳辭，代表公民黨反對《條例草案》。
With these remarks I oppose the Bill on behalf of the Civic Party
代理主席，我們今天要討論的是《2019年成文法條例草案》。
Deputy President today we are going to discuss the Statute Law Bill 2019 the Bill
代理主席，我想說《條例草案》正正證明了香港實行的是三權分立。
Deputy President I mean the Bill is the exact proof that the separation of powers is practised in Hong Kong
現時法庭審案須根據香港法例第4章《高等法院條例》的條文決定如何處理案件，如果香港沒有三權分立，用不着我們在這裏大鑼大鼓地討論如何修改條例。
At present the Court has to decide how to handle a case in accordance with the provisions of the High Court Ordinance Cap . 4
如果香港真的沒有三權分立，由在席的黃專員或其上司律政司司長發出行政指令，以後便能直接修改《高等法院條例》，就如《緊急情況規例條例》一樣，可以直接修改而無須經過立法會審議，修改後再指示司法機關以後這樣處理案件便可，這才是沒有三權分立的情況。
If there is really no separation of powers in Hong Kong then in future an administrative directive issued by Solicitor General WONG who is present here or his superior the Secretary for Justice can directly amend the High Court Ordinance without the need to go through the scrutiny of the Legislative Council as in the case of the Emergency Regulations Ordinance and afterwards they can further instruct the Judiciary to handle cases accordingly . That is the very situation where the separation of powers is non - existent
我們現在討論的《條例草案》，正正體現了司法機關審理案件時須獨立行使司法權利來解釋香港的法律，以及捍衞一些基本的人權，輪不到行政機關或任何一位在席立法會議員指指點點。
Our ongoing discussion on the Bill precisely embodies the need for the Judiciary to independently exercise its judicial power to interpret the laws of Hong Kong and safeguard some basic human rights in its handling of cases leaving no room for the executive or any Legislative Council Member present to sit in judgment over them
因為司法機關是獨立行事的，而我們立法會議員行使的立法職能，也是獨立地行使......
Since the Judiciary is acting independently and we Members of the Legislative Council are also exercising our legislative functions independently
我已很清楚提醒你。
I have very clearly reminded you
你要表達你對憲制的看法，我也酌情容許你這樣做，但你就此課題已用了超過5分鐘發言。
I exercised discretion to allow you to express your views on the constitutional system as you wish but you have spoken for more than five minutes on this topic
代理主席，如果你可以，我希望你不要再打斷我的發言，你很清楚此項條例草案牽涉到司法界如何運作，牽涉到我們如何解釋《高等法院條例》，牽涉到司法機關能否獨立運作，決定如何處理案件。
Deputy President if it is alright with you I hope that you do not interrupt my speech again . You know very well that this Bill has a bearing on how the Judiciary operates how we interpret the High Court Ordinance and whether the Judiciary can operate independently in deciding how to handle cases
代理主席，我提及三權分立是因為黃專員的上司律政司司長說香港沒有三權分立。
Deputy President the reason why I have mentioned the separation of powers is because Solicitor General WONGs superior the Secretary for Justice said that there is no separation of powers in Hong Kong
如否，我請你停止發言。
If not please stop speaking
主席，我代表民主黨發言反對《2019年成文法條例草案》所訂修訂事項。
President I speak on behalf of the Democratic Party to voice our objection to the amendments proposed under the Statute Law Bill 2019 the Bill
主席，我剛才十分留心聆聽謝偉銓議員和梁美芬議員的發言。
President I have listened very attentively to the speeches made respectively just now by Mr Tony TSE and Dr Priscilla LEUNG
謝偉銓議員合共花了兩分鐘批評他口中所謂的"攬炒派"，我不會用兩分鐘時間回應，只需一分多鐘已經足夠。
Mr Tony TSE has spent a total of two minutes criticizing what he referred to as the so - called mutual destruction camp and instead of taking two minutes to respond I will do so in just a minute or so
正是林鄭月娥和你們這些保皇黨，如果這些人沒有在去年試圖強行通過"送中條例"，導致香港萬劫不復，香港怎會面對現時的困境？
Carrie LAM and the royalists are actually the ones who should take the blame and Hong Kong would not have been in the current predicament had they not attempted to force through the extradition to China bill last year which had ruined the territories beyond redemption?
林卓廷議員，我想提醒你，在立法會會議上發言時必須面向主席。
Mr LAM Cheuk - ting I would like to remind you that Members shall face the President when they speak at meetings of the Legislative Council
香港落得現在這個局面，謝偉銓議員實責無旁貸。
Mr Tony TSE is certainly to blame for the current difficult situation facing Hong Kong
主席，我接着又聽到梁美芬議員引述一篇傳媒報道，指出在一宗嚴重刑事案件中，可能有聲請人參與其事，又說黃埔曾發生一宗刑事案件，據她所說最終不能確定犯案人身份，無法追查。
President I then heard a media report cited by Dr Priscilla LEUNG that certain claimants might have been involved in a serious criminal case which occurred in Whampoa area the identity of the offenders concerned could not be ascertained in the end and the case according to her was not pursuable as a result
既然她不知道犯案人的身份，又怎知犯案人是她口中所謂的"假難民"呢？
Given that the identities of the offenders could not be ascertained how could she claim that the relevant offence was committed by some bogus refugees as she called them?
林卓廷議員，請你返回《2019年成文法條例草案》二讀辯論的議題。
Mr LAM Cheuk - ting please return to the subject of the Second Reading debate on the Statute Law Bill 2019
主席，作出是次法例修訂的最重要原因，是正如保皇黨經常指出，法庭現時積壓大量案件，尤其是免遣返聲請個案，亦即涉及他們口中所謂的"假難民"。
President the royalists often argue that the most important reason behind the introduction of the legislative amendments under discussion is the current huge backlog of court cases especially non - refoulement claims involving bogus refugees as they have called them
民主黨過往一直有留意保皇黨提出的所謂"假難民"的論述。
The Democratic Party has all along noted with concern the arguments presented by the royalists about the so - called bogus refugees
事實上，香港早在1980年代已面對大量越南船民湧入，及至1992年，聯合國的《禁止酷刑和其他殘忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或處罰公約》開始適用於香港。
As a matter of fact Hong Kong was faced with the problem of a large influx of Vietnamese boat people as early as in the 1980s and the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment became applicable to Hong Kong in 1992
在2004年一個終審裁決案例中，法庭指出由於就根據《禁止酷刑公約》提出的聲請所作的決定涉及聲請人的生命安危，且有可能令他們失去免受酷刑對待的基本人權，因此在作出有關決定時必須達到嚴謹的公正標準。
In the judgment handed down by the Court of Final Appeal on an appeal case in 2004 it was pointed out that as the decision made in respect of a claim lodged under the Convention might have bearings on the life safety of the claimant who might lose hisher basic human right to protection from torture high standards of fairness must be demanded in the making of such decision
從以上例子可見，香港在協助尋求庇護人士方面須承擔法律上和道義上的責任，這也是香港作為一個國際城市的責任。
It can thus be seen that with regard to the provision of assistance to asylum seekers Hong Kong must honour its legal and moral obligations and this is also the responsibility of Hong Kong as an international city
法庭的裁決亦顯示，負責審核的人員對聲請人懷有惡意或疏忽，令審核過程的公平性成疑。
The court ruling also revealed that the officers in charge of the assessment and determination of the claim had adopted a hostile attitude towards the claimant and were negligent in their duties thus making the fairness of the assessment process questionable
此外，保皇黨議員剛才不斷指出，現時法庭的審訊壓力很大，有很多個案正在輪候處理。
Moreover the royalist Members kept saying just now that the Judiciary had been put under immense pressure to hear these cases and a large number of cases are pending trial
主席，回到《條例草案》本身，現時最重要的其實是從源頭解決聲請個案造成的壓力，若能如此，法庭的輪候時間便可縮短，當局便無須修訂法例。
President with regard to the Bill itself the most important task now is to address the pressure brought about by claim cases at source . By doing so court waiting time can be shortened and there will be no need to amend the law
主席，最後一點是，保皇黨剛才指許智峯議員"拉布"，但為了在立法會阻止所有惡法通過及政府施行暴政，能夠做到多少，我們便必會盡力而為，這正是我們的責任。
President lastly the royalists just now criticized Mr HUI Chi - fung for his filibuster . However in order to prevent the passage of draconian laws as well as the tyranny of the Government in the Legislative Council we will try our best to do as much as we can because this is our responsibility
主席，律政司過去每隔一段時間便會向立法會提交《成文法條例草案》，就不同範疇的法例提出屬於技術性和相信不具爭議性的修訂，以更新或改善現行法例。
President it has been the practice of the Department of Justice to introduce at regular intervals to the Legislative Council a Statute Law Bill proposing amendments that are technical and believed to be non - controversial to various Ordinances for the purpose of updating or improving the existing legislation
以往的例子有《2014年成文法條例草案》，以及《2017年成文法條例草案》。
Examples from the past include the Statute Law Bill 2014 and the Statute Law Bill 2017
我們這次要處理的《2019年成文法條例草案》亦是提出一些技術性修訂，不應具爭議性。
Similarly the Statute Law Bill 2019 the Bill that we have to deal with this time also concerns the proposal of some technical amendments which should be non - controversial
《2019年成文法條例草案》委員會經由1次會議逐項審議條文。
The Bills Committee on the Statute Law Bill 2019 has held one meeting to examine the clauses one by one
有關建議修訂分為4組，第一組修訂《高等法院條例》，以便法庭更有效地處理案件，包括免遣返聲請的案件。
The proposed amendments are divided into four groups . The first group concerns the amendments to the High Court Ordinance Cap . 4 to enable the court to handle cases including the non - refoulement claims more efficiently
就該組的修訂，政府在2019年6月17日至2019年9月6日展開了公眾諮詢，以及諮詢了相關的持份者，包括香港大律師公會和香港律師會。
Regarding this group of amendments the Government conducted a public consultation from 17 June 2019 to 6 September 2019 and consulted relevant stakeholders including the Hong Kong Bar Association HKBA and The Law Society of Hong Kong
這組修訂亦在2019年6月24日的司法及法律事務委員會會議上獲得委員的普遍支持，而我亦是該事務委員會的成員之一。
At the meeting of the Panel on Administration of Justice and Legal Services on 24 June 2019 this group of amendments also gained general support from members of whom I am one
主席，近年來，高等法院民事案件的數量增加了很多，特別是免遣返聲請的司法覆核案件驟升。
President the High Court has seen a tremendous increase in civil caseloads in recent years . In particular the number of judicial review cases stemming from non - refoulement claims has been soaring
《條例草案》的擬議修訂，是擴大使用由兩名上訴法庭法官所組成的上訴法庭，以裁定針對原訟法庭拒絕批予或在施加條件的情況下批予司法覆核許可而提出的上訴。
The proposed amendments in the Bill concern the extension of the use of a two - Judge bench of CA to determine appeals from CFI in relation to its refusal to grant leave for judicial review or its grant of leave for judicial review on terms
這有助於司法機構更靈活地調配人手，使資源得到更妥善的運用。
This will enable the Judiciary to have more flexibility in manpower deployment thereby putting its resources to the best use
為何我說這是擴大使用呢？
Why do I describe this as an extension of use?
擬議的修訂，是緩解司法機構處理免遣返聲請案件的壓力的措施之一。
The proposed amendments are among the measures for easing the pressure on the Judiciary in handling cases about non - refoulement claims
其他措施包括：入境處透過調配人手和優化流程，將處理每宗聲請的時間，由初期的平均25星期加快至平均10星期，增加酷刑聲請上訴委員會的委員人數和秘書處人手，以及檢視《入境條例》，從源頭堵塞濫用程序。
Other measures include expediting the average processing time for each claim from the initial 25 weeks to 10 weeks by the Immigration Department through manpower redeployment and streamlining the process; increasing the number of members in the Torture Claims Appeal Board TCAB and the staffing of TCAB Secretariat; and reviewing the Immigration Ordinance to plug loopholes prone to abuse of process at source
此外，為了進一步提升司法機構處理案件的效率，《條例草案》亦釐清額外法官在原訟法庭或上訴法庭有權以書面方式處理案件，無須親身開庭進行聆訊。
Moreover in order to further enhance the efficiency of the Judiciary in handing cases the Bill also clarifies that an additional judge in CFI or CA has the power to dispose of cases on paper without physically sitting in court
主席，就《條例草案》的其他3組修訂，性質更簡單、直接。
President the three other groups of amendments proposed by the Bill are simpler and more straightforward in nature namely amending the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance Cap
就修正案而言，它符合《條例草案》的原意，確保上述第一組修訂中所指的重新爭辯安排適用於由4名上訴法庭法官組成的上訴法 庭，未能就某宗民事上訴案件達成一致裁定的情況。
As for the Committee stage amendment it ensures that the re - argument arrangement referred to in the first group of amendments will apply to the situation where a four - Judge bench of CA cannot reach a unanimous decision on a civil appeal which is in line with the original intent of the Bill
主席，請容許我花10秒時間感謝何君堯議員推介此書。
President please allow me to spend 10 seconds on saying thank you to Dr Junius HO for recommending this book to Members
廖長江議員也指出，律師會表示贊成，而非常難得地，大律師公會大家皆知道，對於任何不人道的事情，以及政府犯錯或違反《基本法》或法律原則等情況，大律師公會皆會大聲反對這次沒有提出反對，只是要求政府的司法部 門更詳細解釋。
As also pointed out by Mr Martin LIAO The Law Society expressed its agreement and very rarely HKBA―as Members all know in case of any inhumanity or any blunders or even contravention of the Basic Law or legal principles on the part of the Government HKBA will not hesitate to voice its objection aloud―did not raise any objection this time around
請涂謹申議員注意，在諮詢過程中，非建制派議員沒有發聲，沒有參與，而大律師公會這次亦破例不反對。
I wish to draw Mr James TOs attention to one point During consultation no non - establishment Member ever spoke up or participated in the process and very exceptionally HKBA did not raise any objection this time around
修例是司法部門提出的要求，他們有何看法呢？
This legislative amendment exercise is in response to the request of the judicial department . What do they think about this?
剛才很多同事提出一些數字，例如由2016年至2019年，有關的個案數字不斷上升，特別是申請司法覆核的個案升幅驚人。
Many colleagues provided data just now . For example these cases have been increasing from 2016 to 2019 and the surge in JR cases was particularly alarming
第二，他們每月只有1,500元的房屋津貼，而未成年人則只得到750元津貼。
Second they are only entitled to 1,500 rent allowance every month and a minor is entitled to 750
我認為你可作簡單的提述，但不應......
I hold that you can make a brief reference but you should not
我已提醒你，亦有議員指出你離題。
I already reminded you . A Member also pointed out that you had digressed from the subject
所以，我認為我們考慮這個問題時，不單要考慮一些人所謂的"假難民"的問題，更要考慮他們實際上的背景和需要。
They are seeking to have their torture claim substantiated so that they can go to a third country to start afresh . This is a very important point . Hence I hold that in considering this problem we should not consider only the problem of bogus refugees; we should also consider the actual backgrounds and the needs of these people
所以，我認為這不是恰當和全面的做法，我希望有關當局全面地處理問題，這樣總比遇到一件事才解決一件事的做法好，因為這樣不是真真正正、實事求是、全面解決問題的做法。
I thus do not think this is an appropriate and comprehensive approach . I hope the authorities concerned can comprehensively tackle this problem rather than taking a piecemeal approach . It is because the latter approach is not a pragmatic solution that can truly and comprehensively solve the problem
此外，我認為最重要的是，我們今天面對如此大量滯留香港的人，是否就要"斬腳趾避沙蟲"而不探究如何利用其他方法，更有效、長遠地解決問題呢？
And more importantly although we are facing a large number of people now stranded in Hong Kong should this become the reason to chop off the toes to avoid insect bites and refuse to explore other means to more effectively solve the problem once and for all?
現在建議的做法只能解決上訴的問題，但無法解決其他問題，包括入境處如何處理這些個案的問題。
The present proposal can only address the appeal problem but not the other problems including how ImmD is going to handle such cases
所以，我認為我們今天討論新的修訂時，其實應該給予更多空間討論入境處怎樣處理這些個案。
So I hold that in discussing these new amendments today we should have more discussion about how ImmD is going to handle such cases
雖然我們知道入境處作出判決後還有上訴委員會，但很多人也質疑上訴委員會能否公開、公平、公正地處理問題，至今仍無法令人信服。
We know that after ImmD has reached a decision on a torture claim the claimant can still go to the Torture Claims Appeal Board TCAB to appeal against the decision . But many people question whether TCAB can openly fairly and impartially consider the appeal cases and this remains unconvincing
可是，她當初對《條例草案》卻好像非常着緊，聲言要修訂《高等法院條例》，把上訴部分的司法許可程序由一般的3名法官減至只需2名法官便可處理。
Yet she seemed to have attached very great importance to the Bill at the outset claiming that the High Court Ordinance Cap . 4 should be amended to allow the use of two instead of three Justices of Appeal JAs to hear and determine the granting of leave for appeal cases
老實說，加快處理程序本身並沒有人會反對，因為這是好事，但問題是今次連香港大律師公會也表示有所保留，指有關修訂會影響所有司法覆核申請，涉及覆核門檻和程序的公平性，必須審慎考慮。
Frankly speaking no one will object to the idea of speeding up the processing procedures because this is after all a good thing . But the problem is that even the Hong Kong Bar Association has expressed reservation about the proposed amendments pointing out that the amendments will affect all judicial review applications and involve the threshold of judicial review and the fairness of the procedures concerned
最可笑的是，為何如此簡單及希望加快處理程序的修訂也會引來爭議？
How ridiculous it is that such simple amendments like these which seek to expedite the processing procedures have given rise to so many controversies?
不就是因為律政司司長樹立了一個不一般的榜樣。
It is because the Secretary for Justice has set an extraordinary example
除了民主派外，部分建制派可能也同意這說法，因為《東方日報》也猛烈炮轟，指鄭若驊的民望長期以來屬3名司長之中的最低。
Apart from the pro - democracy camp some in the pro - establishment camp may also agree with this because the Oriental Daily News has severely criticized Teresa CHENG for having the lowest popularity rating among the three Department Secretaries all along
是次修訂的理由亦非常動聽，說要加快程序，因酷刑聲請數字極高，原訟法庭和上訴法庭面對極大壓力，但我們就是不相信她，我不管其他人怎樣，就是不相信鄭若驊。
The reasons given for introducing the proposed amendments in the current exercise are also very high - sounding . According to Teresa CHENG the process should be speeded up for handling the excessively large number of torture claims thereby easing the tremendous pressure on the Court of First Instance and the Court of Appeal but we simply cannot trust her . No matter what other people may think I do not consider Teresa CHENG trustworthy
原來在2016-2017年度，入境事務處先後把5,932名人士遣返其原居地。
It turned out that in 2016 - 2017 the Immigration Department ImmD repatriated 5 932 persons to their place of origin
政府老是在高峰期過後才採取行動，例如在疫情高峰期過後推出全民檢測，結果花費了5億3,000多萬元公帑，卻又沒有太多市民支持，這便是"慢十拍"或"慢一百拍"的問題。
The Government always takes actions to address the problems after they have passed their peak such as launching the Universal Community Testing Programme after the peak of the epidemic which cost the Government more than 530 million but did not receive too much public support . This is a typical example of reacting ten beats or even a hundred beats too slowly
請議員察悉，本會主席較早前已收到政府當局書面通知，憑藉《律政人員條例》第7條，在律政司司長缺席期間，法律政策專員已獲授權在立法會會議上參與處理《條例草案》的審議程序。
Will Members please note that the President has received a notification in writing from the Administration earlier in which it is stated that pursuant to section 7 of the Legal Officers Ordinance the Solicitor General has been authorized to participate in the deliberation process of the Bill at this Legislative Council meeting during the absence of the Secretary for Justice
秘書處在會議前已書面通知議員有關安排。
The Secretariat has informed Members in writing of the said arrangements before the meeting
鄺議員，請你返回這項二讀辯論的議題，就《2019年成文法條例草案》的整體優劣進行辯論，而不是借此發言機會，表達你的其他政見或立場，否則我亦會視你的發言離題。
Mr KWONG please return to the subject of this Second Reading debate and speak on the overall pros and cons of the Statute Law Bill 2019 . You should not make use of this opportunity to express other political views or positions . Otherwise I will regard you as digressing from the subject
你剛才的論點已很清楚。
You have already made your points very clear just now
在我請下一位議員發言前，我再次提醒各位議員，對於《2019年成文法條例草案》，議員均已有所掌握，而且已有12位議員先後發言，其實《條例草案》涉及的是技術性修訂，而本會已花了數小時就此進行辯論；所以，我作為代理主席，有責任確保議員的發言符合《議事規則》。
Before I call upon the next Member to speak I would like to remind Members once again that they should have had a certain degree of understanding of the Statute Law Bill 2019 and 12 Members have so far spoken on the Bill . The amendments proposed under the Bill are in fact technical in nature and the Legislative Council has already spent several hours on this debate . Therefore in my capacity as the Deputy President I have the duty to ensure that speeches delivered by Members are in compliance with the Rules of Procedure
我亦提醒議員，在發言時，若有關論點先前已有論述，請盡量簡短說明及不要重複。
I would also like to remind Members that they should try to be brief and avoid making repetitions when elaborating on arguments that have previously been put forward
