我和大家一樣，基本上同意"開拓場地，創造空間，支持本地文化藝術及康體發展"這個大方向。
Like everyone here I support in principle the general direction of developing venues and creating room to support the development of local culture arts recreation and sports but there are alternative proposals with regard to the actual measures to be implemented
至於具體措施，則有不同建議，政府會用心聆聽，致力實踐。
The Government will listen to peoples views attentively and work hard to implement the measures
文化藝術和體育是民政事務局兩大政策範疇。
Culture and the arts along with sports are two major policy areas under the Home Affairs Bureau
我們非常了解土地和空間對推動文化藝術及康樂體育發展至為重要。
We understand very well the crucial importance of land and space in promoting the development of culture and the arts as well as that of recreation and sports . The Home Affairs Bureau has all along been adopting a two - pronged approach to tackle the issue
民政事務局一直採取雙管齊下的方法：一方面增建更多政府文康體設施，同時亦協助非政府團體開創空間，包括增加私人物業內可作文康體用途的空間，以及鼓勵利用空置政府物業和開放學校設施。
On top of increasing the number of government cultural recreation and sports facilities it also helps non - government organizations create space with measures which include increasing the space available for cultural recreation and sports use in private premises as well as encouraging the use of vacant government properties and opened - up facilities at schools
覓地難是整個社會面對的問題。
The difficulty in site identification is a problem faced by the entire society
儘管如此，政府亦不遺餘力地在社區增建場地及設施，例如在過去20年，康樂及文化事務署管理的體育館數目由76個增加至100個、公眾泳池由33個增加至44個、表演場地由13個增加至16個及公共圖書館由58間增加至70間。
Yet the Government spares no efforts in adding venues and facilities to the community . For instance over the last 20 years the number of sports centres managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department LCSD has increased from 76 to 100 the number of public swimming pools from 33 to 44 performance venues from 13 to 16 and public libraries from 58 to 70
大型設施方面，我們亦完成重建維多利亞公園游泳池和旺角大球場，並興建將軍澳運動場和香港單車館。
With regard to major facilities we have also completed the redevelopment of the Victoria Park Swimming Pool and the Mong Kok Stadium . Also completed are the construction of Tseung Kwan O Sports Ground and that of the Hong Kong Velodrome
香港太空館亦已於上月完成翻新，而香港藝術館即將完成擴建及修繕工程並計劃於明年起分階段重開。
Renovation of the Hong Kong Space Museum finished last month; the expansion and renovation of the Hong Kong Museum of Art will soon be brought to a conclusion allowing it to be reopened by stages next year
未來數年，多項政府文康體設施亦會相繼落成，包括預計於今年第三季啟用位於荃灣西的體育館、2019年完成鄰近沙田秦石邨的體育館、2020年完成的深水埗西北九龍填海區的體育館、公共圖書館暨5人足球場，以及2020年完工的東九文化中心。
In the next few years a number of government cultural recreation and sports facilities will be commissioned one by one . They include a sports centre in Tsuen Wan West which will be inaugurated in the third quarter this year and another sports centre located in the vicinity of Chun Shek Estate in Sha Tin which will be completed by 2019 . 2020 will see the completion of a sports centre public library - cum - 5 - a - side soccer pitch at the Northwest Kowloon Reclamation Site in Sham Shui Po and that of the East Kowloon Cultural Centre
感謝各位議員，不久前立法會亦批出撥款開展數個文康體項目，包括位於北區的新界東文化中心的施工前期工序、位於九龍城區的啟德大道公園等。
I am also grateful to honourable Members for the Legislative Council has recently approved the funding for launching several cultural recreational and sports projects including the pre - construction works for the New Territories East Cultural Centre in Northern District and the construction of the Avenue Park at Kai Tak Kowloon City District among others
展望將來，政府已預留200億元，推展"體育及康樂設施五年計劃"，增建或重建26個體育及康樂設施的項目，包括運動場、足球場、體育館、游泳池場館、休憩用地等設施。
In preparation for the future the Government has set aside 20 billion to take forward the Five - Year Plan for Sports and Recreation Facilities building or redeveloping 26 sports and recreation facilities including sports grounds soccer pitches sports centres swimming pool complexes open space and so on
此外，我們亦會為15個體育及康樂設施項目進行技術可行性研究，為日後開展工程做準備。
Moreover we will also conduct technical feasibility studies for 15 projects on sports and recreation facilities to prepare for the impending works
文化方面，政府亦已預留200億元，在未來10年逐步改善和增建文化設施，包括我先前提及的新界東文化中心，以及興建文物修復資源中心作為儲存及修復文物的專用設施。
On the cultural side the Government has set aside 20 billion to prepare for the successive improvements and building of new cultural facilities in the next 10 years including the New Territories East Cultural Centre which I mentioned earlier and the construction of the Heritage Conservation and Resource Centre as a dedicated storage and conservation facility
未來10年將會展開的文化工程項目，亦包括擴建香港科學館、香港歷史博物館和香港大會堂，以及翻新香港文化中心等其他工程，旨在提供額外空間及提升現有設施。
Cultural works projects to be launched in the next 10 years include the expansion of the Hong Kong Science Museum the Hong Kong Museum of History and the Hong Kong City Hall in addition to the renovation of facilities such as the Hong Kong Cultural Centre with the aim of providing extra space and upgrading existing facilities
前述工程及政府所預留共400億元的款項，表明了我們增加場地及設施供應的決心，亦回應了劉國勳議員修正案中設立基金建設有關設施的建議。
The works mentioned above and the 40 billion set aside by the Government show that we are committed to increasing venue and facility provision . They are also a response to Mr LAU Kwok - fans amendment which proposes to establish a fund for constructing relevant facilities
馬議員的議案提及市政局和區域市政局遺留下來的工程計劃。
Mr MA talked about outstanding projects of the former Urban Council and Regional Council in his motion
經統計後，這些計劃共有139項，而當中98項已經完成或大 致完成，另有12項的規劃工作已啟動了，我們將會繼續跟進。
After stocktaking it is found that there are altogether 139 such projects . Among them 98 have been completed or largely completed the planning for another 12 projects has commenced and we will continue following - up on them
我們會爭取市民、區議會和立法會支持，努力回應提問和解釋，務求早日開始工程，惠及市民。
We will also try securing support from the people the district councils and the Legislative Council by giving answers and providing explanations to queries conscientiously in a bid to strive for an early rollout of the works projects for the benefits of the people
康文署場地以外，我亦不得不提政府大力投資的西九文化區與啟德體育園。
Apart from venues managed by LCSD I would also like to highlight two projects which are major investments of the Government the West Kowloon Cultural District WKCD and the Kai Tak Sports Park
兩項工程都是世界級的工程項目，落成後的設施也會供公眾使用。
Both of them are world - class works projects and the facilities will be opened to the public upon completion
西九文化區戲曲中心、藝術公園內的自由空間，以及演藝綜合劇場亦陸續於這幾年間落成。
The Xiqu Centre in WKCD the freespace at the Art Park and the Lyric Theatre Complex will be completed one after the other in the next few years
屆時，香港將會有更多不同大小和多元定位的表演場地。
By then Hong Kong will enjoy a greater variety of performance venues with different sizes and positioning
在此，我要回應陳淑莊議員修正案關於加快西九文化區興建的建議。
Here I would like to respond to Ms Tanya CHANs amendment which urges for the stepping up of WKCDs construction
西九管理局從未放棄推展第三批設施。
The West Kowloon Cultural District Authority has not given up taking forward the Batch 3 facilities
在加強財務安排下，管理局會優先推展音樂中心。
With an enhanced financial arrangement the Authority is going to prioritize the rollout of the Music Centre
至於其他第三批設施，管理局會繼續按照西九的有機發展模式考慮推展的合適時間。
As for the other Batch 3 facilities the Authority will continue formulating an appropriate rollout schedule with reference to the organic development model of WKCD
至於體育設施，啟德體育園將為市民提供多項先進的體育設施，既可推廣全民運動，亦可供舉辦精彩大型國際體育盛事，讓本地運動員有更多機會在香港作賽。
Regarding sports facilities the Kai Tak Sports Park is going to provide people with a number of advanced sports facilities and is well suited for both promoting community - wide participation in sports and hosting exciting mega international sports events to allow local athletes more chances to participate in sporting events in Hong Kong
同時，體育園內大面積的公園和戶外康體設施，將為居民增添休閒和活動空間。
Meanwhile the sizable park and the outdoor recreation facilities within this Sports Park are going to provide residents with room for leisure pursuits and for conducting other activities
政府明白不同文化藝術團體有不同的藝術表演和運作模式，也需要多元化的場地配套。
The Government understands that different cultural and arts groups engage in different forms of artistic performance and modes of operation necessitating diversified venues to dovetail with their needs
民政事務局一直積極推動民、商、官三方合作，開拓空間予本地藝術家和新進藝團，包括以改裝空置校舍作藝術空間，以及嘗試於賣地條款中要求預留面積予文化藝術用途。
The Home Affairs Bureau has all along been actively promoting the tripartite cooperation among the community the business sector and the Government so as to create room for local artists and budding arts groups including the conversion of vacant school premises into arts space and attempts to stipulate in the conditions of land sale the demand to set aside certain floor areas for cultural and arts use
從2014年第四季起，民政事務局向香港藝術發展局提供額外撥款，於黃竹坑一私人物業以民、商、官三方協作的模式，推出首個藝術空間計劃，提供17個藝術工作室。
From the fourth quarter of 2014 onwards the Home Affairs Bureau has provided additional funding for the Hong Kong Arts Development Council HKADC to launch its first arts space scheme under which 17 studios are provided at a private property in Wong Chuk Hang in a tripartite cooperation model among the community the business sector and the Government
此外，民政事務局亦支持大埔區議會與藝發局合作，改裝大埔一所空置校舍為藝術中心，為從事表演藝術的藝術家和藝團提供創作、排練和推廣藝術等活動的空間，包括21個藝術工作室，以及供公眾租用的多用途活動室和音樂練習室等。預期改裝工程約於今年年底完成。
Separately the Home Affairs Bureau also supports the cooperation between the Tai Po District Council and HKADC to convert a vacant school premises in Tai Po into an arts centre which provides performing arts practitioners and groups with space for creative rehearsal and promotion activities and so on . Upon the completion of the conversion works by the end of this year there will be 21 studios in addition to space open for public rental such as multipurpose activity rooms and music practice rooms
在2016年，政府於香港仔一幅出售用地的賣地條款中要求預留面積予文化藝術用途。
In 2016 the Government stipulated in the conditions of sale of an Aberdeen site a requirement to set aside certain floor areas for cultural and arts use
透過賣地條款，政府要求發展商按照工程規格附表來設計、建造和裝修藝術空間、藝術設施等。
With provisions so drawn up in the conditions of sale the Government asks the developer to design build and refurbish arts space and arts facilities according to the technical schedule
日後我們計劃透過藝發局營運該處的藝術空間，讓本地藝術家透過藝發局的支援計劃，以低於市值租金租用藝術工作室及展覽廳等藝術設施，以支持他們的發展，預期有關工程將會於2022年完成。
In future we are planning to ask HKADC to run the arts space there so that local artists under this HKADC support scheme can rent arts facilities such as studio and exhibition hall at below - market rates in a bid to support their development . The works are expected to be completed in 2022
除此之外，行政長官2017年施政報告中提出以民、商、官三方協作的模式推行"青年共享空間計劃"，提供一個平台讓已活化工廈和商廈的業主撥出樓面，作為共用工作空間或創作室。
Additionally the Chief Executive proposed a community - business - Government tripartite partnership in her 2017 Policy Address the Space Sharing Scheme for Youth . The Scheme is a platform for owners of revitalized industrial buildings and commercial buildings to contribute floor areas for the operation of co - working space or studios
在此計劃下，藝發局最近透過政府聯繫，從私人業主租用了一些已活化的工廈單位，以低於市值租金出租予藝團和藝術家，其中位於觀塘的3個表演藝術工作室，已於今年5月接受租賃申請。
Under this Scheme HKADC rents revitalized industrial building units through Government connection and sublets them to arts groups and artists at below - market rates . Among the units three studios in Kwun Tong for performing arts have been put up for rent from May this year
儘管政府已致力為文化藝術活動提供場地和設施，我們理解藝術家和藝團對藝術空間需求仍然殷切，業界認為可多善用工廈，為藝術家和藝團提供空間。
Despite the Governments efforts in providing venues and facilities for cultural and arts activities we understand that artists and arts groups are still demanding for arts space keenly . The sector holds that we should make good use of industrial buildings to make space for artists and arts groups
有意見認為政府應批出豁免書予願將工廈單位改裝作藝術工作室的業主，並且豁免徵收相關豁免書費用。
Opinions have it that the Government should grant waivers to industrial building owners who are willing to convert their units into studios and exempt these owners the payment of the relevant waiver fees
事實上，政府不同部門已着手研究如何可在顧及消防和樓宇安全的情況下，讓藝團和藝術家更好利用工廈空間。
As a matter of fact various government departments have been studying how to let arts groups and artists to make better use of industrial building space under the premise of ensuring fire and building safety
至於豁免書費用的建議，民政事務局正與發展局跟進。
With regard to the suggestion of granting exemption to waiver fees the Home Affairs Bureau is now following up the matter with HKADC
民政事務局樂意繼續聆聽各位議員就使用工廈的不同意見。
The Bureau will be pleased to continue listening to Members views on the use of industrial buildings
政府亦積極協助體育團體利用已修復堆填區發展康體設施。
The Government is also actively helping sports groups to make use of restored landfills for the development of sports facilities
為此，民政事務局已預留資源，而藝發局亦制訂了其"學校與藝團伙伴計劃"，讓藝團夥伴於學校舉辦合適的藝術活動，甚至利用校舍進行創作及綵排。
To this end the Home Affairs Bureau has set aside resources and HKADC has formulated its Arts - in - School Partnership Scheme to let arts groups hold suitable arts activities in their partnered schools and use the school premises for creative and rehearsal purposes
最後我要回應有關所謂"炒場"的意見。
Lastly I would like to respond to comments on the so - called touting activities
康文署不時檢討有關康體設施的預訂程序及分配方法，以完善相關的安排及防止濫用。
LCSD reviews from time to time the concerned booking procedure and allocation of recreation and sports facilities for improving the relevant arrangements and preventing abuse
該署一直密切監察炒賣轄下場地的情況，並且透過改善訂場制度、設立懲罰 安排，以及加強巡察執法等多管齊下，打擊俗稱"炒場"的活動。
LCSD has been closely monitoring touting activities in its venues . Adopting a multipronged approach the Department combats touting activities by improving the booking system putting in place penalty arrangement and stepping up inspection and so on
今年2月6日康文署推出有關透過"康體通"系統預訂場地的新措施，包括租用人如取消預訂，該段節會在取消後會先在康文署網頁公布，然後才在"康體通"供市民以先到先得的方式預訂，防止有人利用"康體通"轉讓所取消的預訂段節予其他人士。
On 6 February this year LCSD launched new measures with regard to booking venues with the Leisure Link Booking System which include when hirers cancel their bookings the cancelled sessions will be announced on LCSD website before they are made available for booking through the Leisure Link system on a first come first served basis . This measure aims at pre - empting the sale of the cancelled session to other people via Leisure Link
康文署近日亦公布在2018年6月20日起推行兩項新打擊"炒場"措施，包括"草地足球場抽籤"試驗計劃及取消在訂場處代人預訂收費。
Recently LCSD announced two new combative measures against touting activities which would be effective from 20 June 2018 including the Turf Soccer Pitches Balloting Pilot Scheme and discontinuing with the practice of booking facilities on behalf of another person at Leisure Link booking counters
康文署會積極研究更多措施，並將陸續推出，以確保場地設施能公平分配予公眾及團體租用。
LCSD will continue working out more measures actively and introducing them one after another to ensure fair allocation of facilities for hire by members of the public and individual groups
我就議案及修正案的發言至此。
So much for my speech on the motion and its amendments
就議員其他的意見和建議，我會在聆聽大家的發言後再作回應。
I will respond to the other comments and suggestions made by Members after listening to your speeches
主席，感謝馬逢國議員提出這項原議案，為本地文化藝術及體育界開拓更多場地、創造更多空間，以推動本地文化藝術及體 育進一步的發展。
President I thank Mr MA Fung - kwok for proposing this original motion which aims to develop venues and create room for the promotion of the further development of local culture arts and sports
我特別對議案提出的第五項建議非常贊同，即優化開放學校設施推動體育發展及供文化藝術團體使用。
In particular I am strongly in favour of the proposal under item 5 which seeks to enhance the Opening up School Facilities for Promotion of Sports Development Scheme and extend the scheme to make it accessible by cultural and arts groups
在周末，連學校的場地設施也在"放假"。
During weekends these school facilities are also on holidays
在周末的時候，這些空間應該可以得以善用。
We should make better use of the space
所以，應該要怎樣做呢？
What should we do then?
我們有關愛基金，民政事務局下亦有些資助基金可以申請。
We have the Community Care Fund and we can also apply to some subsidy funds under HAD
我們應盡量推動符合條件的機構使用學校場地，免卻這方面的開支，我覺得有關安排可以斟酌，實際上所花的費用，可說是九牛一毛。
We should make every effort to facilitate eligible organizations to use school venues . In this respect I think we can consider exempting them from payment of expenses associated with the use of school venues . Anyway the fees involved are minimal
在現時情況下，我們應善用現有的資源。
We should make better use of the existing resources under the current situation
因為政府要進行多重研究，還要經過立法會撥款，需要花很長時間。
In the process it will take a long time for the Government to conduct numerous studies and submit the proposals to the Legislative Council for funding support
很多時候，我們已取得共識，但應如何落實呢？
Very often we have already forged a consensus but we do not know how to proceed
特別是第五項建議，相對推動其他工作，這項建議難度最低。
The proposal under item 5 in particular is the least difficult to implement when compared with other work
我們先易後難，應該做目前可以做到的事，不需要再多談，馬上進行。
We should tackle the simple issues first before the difficult ones and do what we can do now . Instead of keep on elaborating we should take action immediately
因為政策及資源也有，所涉及的技術性也是最低。
We have both the policy support and the necessary resources in place . The proposal is also easiest to implement technically
多謝主席，也多謝兩位局長作出回應。
My thanks to you President and also to the two Secretaries for their replies
主席，我很多朋友都知道我是一個體育狂熱愛好者，我未必擁有體育運動員的體格，但卻肯定有運動員的精神，必定會繼續積極爭取體育券和增加更多場地，繼續鍥而不捨，爭取到底。
President many of my friends know that I am a sports fanatic . I may not have an athletic build but I definitely have the spirit of athletes . I will certainly continue to make active efforts to strive for the introduction of sports vouchers and for the building of more sports venues
先說體育券，雖然我每次跟局方談起體育券，局方都說是好建議，但卻又指香港的體育場地不足，如果推出體育券，便有更多人做運動，那麼，場地便會更為不足。
So let me start with sports vouchers . Whenever I talk about sports vouchers the Bureau always replies that the idea of sports vouchers is good . The Bureau also states that the shortage of sports venues in Hong Kong will be exacerbated if sports vouchers are launched as more people will do sports then
我們一向都希望推動多些體育項目，但場地供應卻不足，所以，我非常感謝馬逢國議員今天提出議案，促請政府要開拓更多體育場地和設施，創造空間，因為我們在這方面實在有很大的需求。
We have always wanted to promote more sports and yet there is a shortage of venues . So I am really grateful to Mr MA Fung - kwok for proposing this motion today to urge the Government to develop more venues and facilities for sports and to create room . Truly we have an immense demand for these
我們當然不鼓勵"炒場"，但這卻是沒有辦法之中的辦法，因為場地根本不足，所以，增加場地供應至為重要。
Surely we do not support touting activities but it appears to be the only option as the number of venues is really inadequate . And for this reason it is crucial for the Government to increase the number of venues
局長，翻看資料，民政事務局曾提出有關體育及康體設施的5年計劃，涉及20多個項目及200億元資助。
Secretary looking up the information I note that the Home Affairs Bureau has put forward a five - year plan concerning sports and recreational facilities before . The plan involves some 20 projects and a funding of 20 billion
所以，改建暖水池的速度真是太過緩慢。
So I would say that conversion works are way too slow in speed
未來，長沙灣區我看到周圍正不停興建屋苑最少將有十萬八萬人遷入，所以，有時候我看到長沙灣運動場就會感到頭痛，擔心該運動場將會如何擠迫，令我非常擔心。
Looking ahead Cheung Sha Wan district―as I observe housing estates are being built all around―will see at least tens of thousands of people move in . So a look at the sports ground at Cheung Sha Wan will sometimes give me a headache as I worry that the sports ground will become overcrowded . It is really worrying to me
不過，局長剛才亦提到，希望在檢討後能有所改善，我對此抱有很大的期望，因為局方可從中做得更多。
Nevertheless the Secretary earlier also stated that there would hopefully be some improvement upon review of the programme . I have great expectation for that because there may then be room for the Bureau to do more
但是，我後來發現這些資助只是每年二三百元，與我提出的體育券相差甚遠。
However I have found out that these subsidies are only HK200 to HK300 per year which is way below the sports vouchers I proposed
所以，在體育發展方面，其實仍有很多工作等待我們去做。
In the light of that there are actually a lot of work to be done for sports development
我知道兩位局長皆是有心人，我更知道劉局長是一位運動愛好者，是乒乓球高手，應十分明白多項運動都有很多空間等待我們推動。
I know that the two Secretaries are keen to do something . I also know that Secretary LAU is a sports lover and a dab hand at playing table tennis . So both Secretaries should fully appreciate that there is much room for us to promote various sports
而我自己亦覺得體育不單有益身心，也有助我們長期的精神健康。
Also I deem that sports is not only good for our health but also beneficial to our long - term mental well - being
今天的議題是說，政府應該開拓場地，創造空間，支持本地文化藝術及康體發展。
The topic we are discussing today is that the Government should develop venues and create room to support the development of local culture arts recreation and sports
我們看到，政府在過去十多二十年投放了不少資源興建一些場地和場所。
We can see that the Government has put in a lot of resources to build new venues and premises over the past two decades
所以，要有不同政策以處理場地的使用，例如團體免費使用的安排。
We will need to formulate different policies to cope with this . For example arrangements should be in place to deal with the use of venues by some organizations free of charge
我們看到的現象是，即使有很多場地，我們仍然會面對場地不足的指控，仍然會面對香港社會整體體育氣氛、文化藝術氣氛不足的問題。
This is a phenomenon in Hong Kong that despite the plentiful supply of activity venues there are still allegations of the lack of venues and of the overall dull atmosphere for sports culture and arts in society
我不知道政府有沒有就這一點進行過任何研究，以理解問題核心所在。
I do not know if the Government has conducted any study to look into the crux of the problems
但是，當時的氣氛很好，儘管社會在場地匱乏的情況下，每個場地大部分時間都被盡用，即使日上三竿，中午最炎 熱的時候，我們也會到球場踢足球。
Nevertheless we enjoyed great sports atmosphere that time . Because of the scarcity of football pitches the venues were used up most of the time even in late morning or the afternoon when we had to play football under the scorching hot sun . That is a different story now
因此，我過去經常說，應該恢復我年輕時代這種在球場"跟隊"的做法，令場地運用不需要好像現在般，大家要找別人幫忙預訂場地，甚至會出現"炒場"的情況，這是一個值得局長思考的路向。
In the past I frequently advocated the revival of the on - the - spot queuing practice of my younger days . Through on - site queuing we no longer need to ask others to help make the venue booking thus putting an end to the touting activities . This approach is worth the consideration of the Secretary
第二，在場地限制方面，我們有一個很大的資源，就是學校場地。
The second point I wish to raise is about the limited supply of venues . We can tap an enormous source of sport venues from school premises
過往我年輕的時候，一般學校的籃球場跟屋邨共用，學校關門後，籃球場便會開放讓大家玩籃球。
When I was young basketball courts were generally shared resources between schools and the nearby housing estates . The basketball courts would be open to the public after school hours
因為牽涉到場地的維修、保養、保險費、管理及安全等種種的問題。
Because we will have to deal with the issues of repair and maintenance insurance management and safety involved in the use of the basketball courts
如果學校願意在下課後開放場地，可以由例如民政事務局負責場地的維修、管理、保養等，在某程上負一個較大比重的責任，這樣大家便可以更好地善用我們有限的場地。
If schools are willing to so the Government such as the Home Affairs Bureau can take up greater responsibility for repair maintenance as well as management of the venues . This will enable the better use of our limited venues
我還想提出場地管理及氣氛的問題，最近我們的辦事處申請在一些屋邨場地公開播放世界盃，但原來申請指引很繁複。
I would also like to talk about the venue management and the sports atmosphere . My office has recently applied for broadcasting World Cup matches at some housing estates . The application procedures are really complicated
同樣的情況發生在文化藝術上。
The performance of culture and arts also faces the same problem
今天這項議案提出場地是一個問題，但在場地這個問題背後，更重要的是我們整個社會文化的問題。
The supply of venues as raised in todays motion is a problem facing us . But behind the problem of venue supply a more central problem lies in the overall culture of this society
究竟香港政府是否支持本地文化藝術發展呢？
Does the Government of Hong Kong support the development of local culture and arts?
現時由政府提供的最大型表演場地是香港體育館，紅館如採用中央台進行表演，可提供13,000個座位。
The largest performing venue currently provided by the Government is the Hong Kong Coliseum which has a seating capacity of 13 000 seats if the central stage is used for staging performances
據報康樂及文化事務署當年曾投資千萬元改善大球場的音響系統，但其質素始終備受批評。
It was reported that the Leisure and Cultural Services Department invested tens of millions of dollars back then on improving the audio system in the Hong Kong Stadium but its quality was still open to a lot of criticisms
本來今次她也沒有機會，但後來因為五月天早已預訂紅館檔期，最後卻改在香港迪士尼樂園露天廣場舉行演唱會，以致梁詠琪、古巨基均可"執死雞"，在紅館舉行演唱會。
She originally did not have the chance to hold her concert this year but as the band MayDay which booked the slots in the Hong Kong Coliseum changed its mind and switched to hold its concert at the Outdoor Venue of the Hong Kong Disneyland both Gigi LEUNG and Leo KU were given the chance to take up the slots vacated by MayDay and hold their concert in the Hong Kong Coliseum
