政府現時提出的修正案是，如果負責運送酒類產品人士並非直接受僱於出售酒類產品的人士或公司，例如速遞公司的員工便無須負責。
The Government now proposes in the amendments that a person responsible for delivering liquor products will be free of criminal liability if the person is not employed directly by a seller of liquor products . Employees of courier companies for example will not be held responsible
我當然支持這點，但把刑責擴展至負責運送酒類產品人士上，我覺得在執行上會有困難，希望政府日後能解釋清楚。
I of course support this point because I think the extension of the scope of criminal liability to cover deliverers of liquor products is actually difficult to implement . I hope the Government can clearly explain how this can be enforced later
是否外賣員也有這種責任呢？
Does the deliverer have to shoulder this responsibility?
回到我最關心的其中一點，不知道張宇人議員曾否研究過，現時有一種"餐飲美食速遞"的應用程式，購買者可在這程式上選擇附近某公里內的食肆落單。
There are mobile apps providing gourmet food delivery service . I am not sure if Mr Tommy CHEUNG has studied this trend . The apps enable users to place orders with nearby eateries within certain kilometres in distance
我的意思不是在下次修例時要同時規管提供"餐飲美食速遞"程式的公司，這是矯枉過正的做法。
I do not mean to say the Government should also regulate providers of these gourmet food delivery apps in the next legislative exercise . This is overkill
除非看到交易過程，或有交易紀錄。
Unless law enforcement officers witness any transaction process or seize transaction records in the premises it does not mean anything even though they find liquor money and even as I assume children or minors under the age of 18 when they enter the premise
其實，如果有交易紀錄，根本可以控告他在住宅無牌賣酒。
Actually if there are records of transactions in the premises law enforcement officers can simply charge the seller for selling liquor without a licence in domestic premises
在真正運作時，我覺得是不會這樣做的。
I do not think law enforcement officers will do so in the actual implementation
因此，我對郭家麒議員的議政能力有很大保留，包括他聲稱這是業界的利益，其實有甚麼利益？
Therefore I have great reservation in Dr KWOK Ka - kis ability to deliberate on political affairs including the interests of the industry as claimed by him
這裏的業界代表是邵家輝議員和我張宇人，所有便利店和超級市場也是我們的選民。
What are such interests? . The representatives of the industry in this Council include Mr SHIU Ka - fai and I Tommy CHEUNG . All the operators of convenient stores and supermarkets are our voters
由此可見，我們根本無意"拉布"。
It can be seen from this that we have no intention whatsoever to stage a filibuster
主席，對於新任律政司司長鄭若驊的物業僭建事件，她已多番就事件向公眾及立法會解釋。
President regarding the unauthorized building works UBWs in the property of the new Secretary for Justice Teresa CHENG she has time and again explained to the public and the Legislative Council
上周一，她亦出席本 會司法及法律事務委員會的特別會議。雖然該次會議的議程並非討論僭建事件，但她也願意回答議員相關的問題。
Last Monday 29 January she attended the special meeting of the Panel on Administration of Justice and Legal Services and though the issue of UBWs was not on the agenda of the meeting she was willing to answer Members questions on this issue
自由黨理解公眾關注這事件，但對於莫乃光議員動議的議案，透過傳召程序，要求司長前來立法會，就其寓所的僭建物作證及出示所有相關的文據、簿冊、紀錄或文件，自由黨卻不認同。
The Liberal Party understands the publics concern about the matter but the Liberal Party does not support Mr Charles Peter MOKs motion to summon the Secretary for Justice to attend before the Council to testify and to produce all relevant papers books records or documents
首先，大家也知道，香港僭建問題非常普遍，政府向來都是採取實事求是，風險為本的政策。
First as we all know the problem of UBWs is very common in Hong Kong and the Government has always taken a pragmatic and risk - based approach
在一般情況下，如果僭建物未對生命財產明顯構成威脅或迫切危險，屋宇署會發出法定警告通知及清拆令。
Under normal circumstances if UBWs do not pose an obvious and immediate threat to peoples lives and assets the Buildings Department will issue a statutory warning notice and removal order
只要事主按照屋宇署的指令自行處理僭建物，事件自可告一段落，一般也不會再被追究。
As long as the owner follows the Buildings Departments instructions and deals with the UBWs voluntarily the issue is considered to be settled and no charges will be made
這是一個大家都接受的標準。
This is a standard procedure acceptable to all
至於鄭若驊司長，她早已承諾會遵照屋宇署的指示修正好違規的僭建物；任何因此事而引致的法律情況，她也不會干涉。
Earlier Secretary for Justice Teresa CHENG has pledged to follow the Buildings Departments instructions to rectify the problem concerning the UBWs and she will not interfere with any legal proceedings thus arisen
可見她所作出的補救，已合乎程序及慣例。
It is obvious that her remedies comply with the procedure and established practices
我們亦看不到為何要求政府因事件涉及司長而偏離既定的政策。
We do not see why we should request the Government to depart from the established policy just because the Secretary for Justice is involved
當然，社會對政府高官的道德標準一般有較高的要求，故此帶出了當中有否知法犯法或誠信的問題。
Of course the public have in general higher expectations of senior officials in terms of their moral standards and hence people wonder if she breached the law knowingly and they also query her integrity
此外，司長亦多次以"擠牙膏"的方式處理事件，手法有欠理想，難免給公眾非常差的印象。
Moreover the Secretary for Justice has time and again handled the incident in a manner like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube which was far from satisfactory and gave the public a very bad impression
鄭若驊司長多次指出，因工作太忙，經常"四處飛"，無暇理會家事，才會有此疏忽。
Secretary for Justice Teresa CHENG also said repeatedly that her hectic work schedule having to fly to different places all the time had left her with no time to take care of household affairs resulting in such negligence
但是，她也明白忙也不是一個藉口，故此多次向公眾致歉。
However she also understood that she could not use her hectic work schedule as an excuse and thus she repeatedly apologized to the public
對於自己笨拙的處理手法，她更大方承認有改善的空間。
Concerning her botched approach she admitted that there was room for improvement
誠然，新律政司司長上任前未有做好"消毒"工作，令人失望。
It is true that the new Secretary for Justice had not properly purified before taking office which was rather disappointing
她在未來日子實在必須提高政治敏感度及警覺性。
She must enhance her political sensitivity and alertness in the days to come
特區政府日後亦應在問責官員入職前做好各樣"消毒"工作，提醒他們要先處理好類似問題才上任，以免再度重蹈覆轍。
In future the SAR Government should also carry out thorough purification before each accountability official assumes office . It should remind them that they must take proper care of similar problems before assuming office so as to avoid making the same mistake
事件發展至今，我並不認為有誠信問題，也相信傳召司長再前來立法會解釋也不會有新的內容，無助對事情有更多的了解。
As far as the latest development is concerned I do not consider there is an integrity problem . I do not think summoning the Secretary for Justice to attend before the Legislative Council to explain the case will enable us to get new information or shed more light on the incident
問題是，是否因為司長僭建事件而抹煞她過往對社會的貢獻及專業能力？
The question is should the Secretary for Justices UBWs incident obliterate her past contribution to society and her professional competency?
自由黨認為鄭若驊是難得可勝任律政司司長一職的人選，而且她已真誠致歉，也是臨危受命，我們應給她一個機會。
The Liberal Party thinks that the right candidate for the post of Secretary for Justice is hard to come by and Teresa CHENG is one such candidate . Since she has sincerely apologized and she was entrusted with this mission at a critical juncture we should give her a chance
須知道，律政司司長一職任重道遠，主要工作應是維護香港法治。
One should understand that the Secretary for Justice has to shoulder heavy responsibilities and the most important duty is to uphold the rule of law in Hong Kong
政府目前有多項重要及社會高度關注的工作，需要律政司的支援。
Currently the Government has to handle a number of important tasks which the community is gravely concerned about and the support of the Department of Justice is required
因此，鄭若驊宜少說話，多做事，正所謂多說無謂，當務之急，應盡早拆除所有違例的僭建物，提早讓風波平息，令非建制派少一個拖延議事程序的藉口，讓自己騰出更多時間，處理手上更重要的工作。
At this juncture Teresa CHENG should talk less and do more . Making verbose remarks serves no purpose . At present her most pressing task is to remove all UBWs to settle this row so that non - establishment Members will have one less excuse to stall the Council procedure and she can have more time to handle the more important work at hand
事實上，泛民同事近日不斷利用《基本法》第七十三條第五項及第十項，要求傳召官員，明顯破壞了立法會議事的既有程序。
As a matter of fact recently pan - democratic colleagues have been invoking Article 735 and 10 of the Basic Law incessantly to summon various officials which has obviously disrupted the established Council proceedings
他們這樣做，無非是想把自己認為重要的議程、有利自己及打擊政府威信的政治議題插隊討論，卻令我們較守規矩、想做實事的同事，例如我黨友易志明議員及邵家輝議員去年已提出的議案，至今仍在輪候等待編上議程，這樣又是否公道呢？
Their only purpose is to jump the queue to first discuss issues that they consider important that are beneficial to them and at the same time that deal a blow to the Governments credibility . As a result law - abiding colleagues who want to do real work like my fellow party members Mr Frankie YICK and Mr SHIU Ka - fai are still waiting to have their motions proposed last year to be placed on the agenda
主席，鄭司長經深思熟慮後，在今時今日嚴峻政治氣氛的形勢下，仍然選擇放棄私人執業、高薪厚職我有理由相信她今天所獲得的政府薪酬一定遠低於她在自己公司所賺的錢走入這個"熱廚房"，為公眾服務，這種決心，我是欣賞的。
Is this fair to them? . President under the current tense political atmosphere Secretary for Justice Teresa CHENG has after thorough consideration still chosen to give up her private practice and high remunerations―I have reasons to believe the salary offered by the Government is much lower than what she made from her own company―and enter this hot kitchen to serve the public
希望司長汲取今次經驗，加強警覺性及政治敏感度，小心處理日後的工作，捍衞香港法治，令香港法制更健全。
I appreciate her determination and I hope that the Secretary for Justice has learned from this experience and increased her alertness and political sensitivity so that she will carefully handle her future work in safeguarding the rule of law in Hong Kong and further improving our legal system
公眾及立法會應用這些指標來評價司長未來的工作。
The public and the Legislative Council should use these as a yardstick to evaluate her work in future
主席，自由黨反對莫乃光議員透過這項議案程序傳召律政司司長。
President the Liberal Party opposes the motion moved by Mr Charles Peter MOK to summon the Secretary for Justice
他們覺得煙包放在衣袋內已足以被警察......支持警察應進行搜身。
They think it is so suspicious for us to have a cigarette packet in the pocket that police officers can they support empowering police officers to search us
可是，為何又要在室內工作間禁煙的條例加入這項規定呢？
So why the Government has to include this provision in the ordinance which bans workplace smoking?
主席，聽畢黃定光議員、盧偉國議員和周浩鼎議員剛才的發言，我自己也有些想法。
Chairman having listened to the earlier speeches of Mr WONG Ting - kwong Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok and Mr Holden CHOW I also get something in mind
特區政府如果處理18歲以下的兒童吸煙和飲酒的問題，必須優先從公眾教育着手。
If the SAR Government wants to deal with the problem of smoking and drinking among children aged below 18 it must begin with public education as a matter of priority
至於第7條，正如剛才多位議員問道，究竟應否賦權食物環境衞生署申請手令進入住宅搜證呢？
As for clause 7 many Members asked just now whether the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department FEHD should be empowered to collect evidence in residential units upon application for a search warrant
因為陳恒鑌議員昨天指出，他在光顧大排檔時，店主讓他到毗鄰的店鋪放下金錢，自己拿啤酒，這樣便可避免沒有酒牌的問題。
I ask this question because Mr CHAN Han - pan pointed out yesterday that when patronizing a Dai Pai Dong he was asked by the owner to pay at an adjacent stall and then get a bottle of beer himself as a means of circumventing his lack of a liquor licence
電子支付時代是否已經來臨呢？
Has the e - payment era arrived?
有關紀錄可否作為佐證呢？
Can the relevant records be admitted as corroborative evidence?
不過，當立法會審議任何授權某個政府部門或官員進行一件事的法案時，我們是非常審慎的，以防出現濫用的機會。
But when the Legislative Council scrutinizes a bill which seeks to empower a certain government department or official to do something we are very prudent as we want to prevent any abuse of power
即使修正案獲得通過，政府亦須向法庭申請手令。
Even if the amendment is passed the Government will still be required to apply for a search warrant from the court
然而，周浩鼎議員剛才提出數據，指99.99%的申請都會獲批。
However Mr Holden CHOW presented some figures saying that 99.99 % of all applications would be approved
我希望特區政府將來或在法例通過後的一段時間內可能是一兩年進行檢討，以了解是否有人利用法律漏洞，例如利用微信支付、支付寶或其他支付模式。
I hope that in the future or within some time―perhaps one or two years―after the passage of the Bill the SAR Government can conduct a review to see if anyone has manipulated the loophole in law by using payment methods such as WeChat Pay Alipay and so on
黃定光議員經常和我討論商界問題。
Mr WONG Ting - kwong often discusses with me issues relating to the business sector
凡此種種的變化，是我們今天在議事堂內無法設想的。
All such changes are beyond our imagination in the Chamber today
當然，我希望特區政府可以藉此機會了解議員真正關注的問題其實在於市民。
Certainly I hope the SAR Government can understand through this opportunity that Members genuine concern actually centres on the people
我是從一名市民的角度出發，希望特區政府審慎立法。
My speech is based on the angle of an ordinary person and I hope that the SAR Government can enact legislation prudently
議員議案：莫乃光議員要求傳召律政司司長於2018年2月28日到立法會席前作證及出示文件而動議的議案。
Members motions . Motion to be moved by Mr Charles Peter MOK to summon the Secretary for Justice to attend before the Council on 28 February 2018 to testify and produce documents
我請莫乃光議員發言及動議議案。
I call upon Mr Charles Peter MOK to speak and move the motion
主席，鄭若驊司長上任至今風波不斷，身為律政司司長，理應是最遵守法律、最不偏不倚地守護香港法治的人，但她所做的每一件事，均直接衝擊香港的司法精神和香港人的核心價值。
Being the Secretary for Justice she should be the most law - abiding person upholding Hong Kongs rule of law most impartially . Yet everything she did has dealt a direct blow to Hong Kongs judicial spirit and the core values of the public
知法犯法的人，是否仍然適合當律政司司長？
Is a person who has deliberately broken the law still fit for the position of Secretary for Justice?
知法犯法，甚至可能隱瞞本身違法行為的人是否適合擔任律政司司長，代表特區執行法律、維護法治？
Is a person who has not only deliberately broken the law but also tried to conceal her illegal conduct still fit for the position of Secretary for Justice to enforce the law and safeguard the rule of law on behalf of the Special Administrative Region?
我們對她的要求，是否應比對其他公職人員的要求更高？
Should we have higher expectations of her conduct than that of other public officers?
社會似乎越來越不公道，有權有勢的人，似乎可以有法不依，卻叫我們去包容，但社會上又有誰包容例如周庭和其他被無理"DQ"的香港人？
Society seems to be increasingly unfair . People with money and power can seemingly refuse to abide by the law yet we are asked to be tolerant . Then who in the community will be tolerant of people like CHOW Ting and others who have been unreasonably disqualified?
司長說，她無法接受自己是個無誠信的人，那麼我想請她盡快前來立法會交代清楚，她為何要隱瞞？
The Secretary for Justice said that she could not accept herself as a person without integrity . Then I would like to invite her to attend before the Council as soon as possible to come clean with us . Why is she hiding those facts?
司長一直在"帶我們遊花園"，當"人肉錄音機"，這是否一個有誠信的人該做的事？
The Secretary for Justice has been beating around the bush and acting like a human recorder . Is that what a person with integrity should do?
我們都相信司長是有能力的人，但為何她不肯面對這些問題？
We believe that the Secretary for Justice is competent but why does she not face up to these questions?
在1月29日的司法及法律事務委員會的特別會議上，我們向司長提出很多問題：品格審查時有否交代其物業的僭建物，她不回答；按揭文件有否顯示當時的物業有僭建物，她不回答；她最早何時知道其屯門物業內有僭建物，她不回答。
At the special meeting of the Panel on Administration of Justice and Legal Services on 29 January we put many questions to the Secretary for Justice did she give an account about the unauthorized building works UBWs in her residence during the integrity check she did not answer; did the mortgage document indicate that there were UBWs in the property she did not answer; when did she first find out there were UBWs in her property in Tuen Mun she did not answer
我們今次提出的傳召議案有必要通過，以要求司長回答這些問題。
Members should pass this summoning motion so that we can request the Secretary for Justice to come to the Legislative Council to answer those questions
因此，我們的問題是：司長是否一直知悉其物業有僭建物，卻沒有採取行動？
Hence our question is Is the Secretary always aware of the UBWs in her property but has not taken any action?
司長在1月6日和1月10日第二次解釋僭建醜聞時，同樣聲稱2008年10月時以"現有狀況"買入物業，之後沒有再作過任何結構性改變，她當時仍然表示，天台屋和地庫早在她購入之前已有，但她其後又表示，四號屋和丈夫潘樂陶先生三號屋之間的那扇門，後來才打通，據她所說："工程不是由她進行，但她當然是知道的。
When the Secretary for Justice gave an account of her UBWs scandal on 6 January and the second time on 10 January she still claimed that after she bought the property in October 2008 the property remained as it was until today and no structural alteration had been carried out afterwards . At that time she still said that the glass house on the roof and the basement had existed before she bought the house . But later she said the door connecting House 4 and House 3 of her husband Otto POON was added at a later time
傳媒報道，司長以柏星發展有限公司的名義，在2008年用2,600萬元購入四號屋，她在2008年10月23日以公司負責人的名義簽署渣打銀行的按揭文件，清楚列明獨立屋由地下、1樓、2樓及天台組成，並未提及地庫。
It was reported that the Secretary for Justice bought House 4 in the name of Sparkle Star Development at the price of 26 million in 2008 . On 23 October 2008 she signed the mortgage document with Standard Chartered Hong Kong in her capacity as the responsible person of the company . The document clearly stated that House 4 comprised a ground floor a first floor a second floor and a roof
文件附有第一手買家在1993年買入獨立屋時的合約圖則，顯示只有地下、1樓、2樓及天台，並無地庫。
It did not mention a basement . Attached to the document was the contract plan of the house when the first - hand buyer bought it in 1993 which showed a ground floor a first floor a second floor and a roof but no basement
樓宇轉讓和按揭文件均是法律文件，先不談司長身為法律界人士，無理由遺漏如此重要的細節，她也不可能說，她買樓時對是否有地庫一事並不知情。
The deed of assignment and mortgage document are both legal documents . Leaving aside the fact that the Secretary for Justice is a member of the legal profession who should not have omitted such an important detail she could not say that she did not know there was a basement when she bought the house
如果司長是刻意在按揭文件隱瞞僭建地庫，亦涉嫌觸犯了《盜竊罪條例》中，"以欺騙手段……取得金錢利益"一罪，欺騙銀行向她批出按揭。
If the Secretary for Justice deliberately concealed the unauthorized basement when signing the mortgage document she was alleged of committing a crime by any deception dishonestly obtains for himself pecuniary advantage under the Theft Ordinance which is securing a mortgage from the bank by fraud
第四，在品格審查時，司長有否交代僭建事件？
Fourth during the integrity check did the Secretary for Justice come clean about the UBWs?
多年來，不少官員都涉及僭建醜聞。
Many officials have been involved in scandals concerning UBWs over the years
2012年，參選特首選舉的前政務司司長唐英年及後來當選的特首梁振英，均被“踢爆”名下獨立屋有嚴重僭建，唐英年妻子更被判僭建罪成，其後多名問責官員亦被揭發名下物業有僭建。
In 2012 Henry TANG the then Chief Secretary for Administration who ran for the Chief Executive election and LEUNG Chun - ying who was subsequently elected the Chief Executive were both uncovered to have major UBWs in their houses . Henry TANGs wife was even found guilty of having UBWs . Since then a number of accountability officials were also revealed to have UBWs in their residence
因此，品格審查到了今天，會否完全不提出這方面問題？
Hence is it possible that during the integrity checks of today no questions would be asked about UBWs?
我們需要知道司長在品格審查中有沒有交代其物業僭建的問題，這點十分重要。
It is very important for us to find out whether the Secretary for Justice had come clean about the UBWs in her property during the integrity check
對於此事，我在1月24日提出口頭質詢，當時負責答覆的政制及內地事務局局長聶德權，甚麼都答說要守秘密，我差點以為這是一個秘密政府。
On that score I asked an oral question on 24 January . Patrick NIP the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs who answered my question told us that everything had to be kept secret . I almost thought that our Government was a secret Government
在整件事中，有沒有任何人刻意隱瞞公眾？
Has anyone purposely concealed the information from the public?
所以，我希望建制派作出回應，他們是否認為品格審查制度有問題，這是對事並非對人，不可因為議案是民主派提出而橫加反對。
Therefore I hope pro - establishment Members will tell us whether they agree that there are problems with the integrity checking system . We focus on finding facts but not finding faults with individuals . They cannot oppose this motion just because it is moved by the pro - democracy camp
主席，另一個非常重要的問題就是，潘樂陶先生承接很多政府工程，當中會否涉及利益衝突。
President there is another very important question . Given that Mr Otto POON has undertaken many government projects is there a conflict of interest?
政府物流服務署資料顯示，潘先生過去5年獲政府批出至少24份合約，總額達8億元以上。
According to the information provided by the Government Logistics Department in the past five years the Government has at least awarded 24 contracts to Mr POON at a cost of over 800 million in total
網頁顯示，該公司的聯絡人為其首席企策及資訊業務總監潘穎欣，是潘樂陶先生的長女。
From the web page we learn that the contact person of the company is Ms Karen POON Chief Executive Corporate Strategy IT Business of the company and Ms POON is the eldest daughter of Mr Otto POON
政府每年批出工程數以百億元計，這麼多“大白象”工程，浪費市民這麼多血汗錢，已是令人難以接受的既定事實。
The Government awards works projects worth tens of billions of dollars each year . All these white elephant projects have wasted a huge amount of peoples hard - earned money which is a fact that we can hardly accept
如果當時時任機電工程署署長的陳帆先生相信，他應邀到潘先生家裏聚餐沒有問題，是否任何工程公司的老闆都可以請他吃飯？
If Mr Frank CHAN the then Director of Electrical and Mechanical Services believed that it was alright to accept Mr POONs invitation to have dinner at his home would it mean that any owners of engineering company could invite him for dinner?
業界會有甚麼想法，會否覺得有欠公平，他會否覺得應該避嫌？
What would the sector think? . Would it have a feeling of unfairness? . And would he think that he had to avoid arousing suspicion?
主席，傳媒報道，潘樂陶先生名下公司曾涉及澳門運輸工務司前司長歐文龍的貪污案，詳情不贅。
President it has been reported by the media that a certain company under Mr Otto POON is involved with the corruption case of AO Man - long former Secretary for Transport and Public Works of Macao . I will spare the details here
但是，這報道明顯顯示他名下的公司甚至潘先生本人也涉嫌牽涉其中。
The report clearly hinted that the company or even Mr POON himself might be involved in the case
正如之前不少民主派同事說過，司長道歉多少次都好，她已經是知法犯法的司長，對於這樣的人繼續擔任我們的律政司司長，大家認為合適嗎？
As many democratic colleagues have said no matter how many times the Secretary for Justice has apologized she is already a Secretary for Justice who has deliberately broken the law . Do you think it is appropriate for her to continue serving as the Secretary for Justice of Hong Kong?
主席，通常我們會呼籲建制派同事支持議案，但所有人都知道，建制派會一如既往，全力保皇，不會讓這議案通過，繼續阻止民主派監察政府，繼續阻止香港人尋求公義、找尋這件事的真相。
President normally we would call upon the pro - establishment colleagues to support our motion but everyone knows that the pro - establishment camp will as always spare no effort to shield the Government and will not let this motion be passed in order to keep impeding the democrats efforts to monitor the Government as well as to stop Hong Kong people from seeking justice and finding out the truth about this incident
我不敢指望他們會支持這議案，但我要在這次議案發言中告訴特首、告訴政府，我們不會包容有權有勢的人有法不依，我們亦不會放過任何追求公義、真相的機會。
I do not expect them to support this motion but I have to tell the Chief Executive and the Government in my speech that we will not tolerate people with money and power not complying with the law and we will not give up any chance to pursue justice and the truth
因為建制派保皇，這項議案很大可能會被否決。
Given the pro - establishment camps support for the Government this motion will very likely be negatived
我覺得政府好像在考驗議員和市民的記性，想"拖得就拖"，淡化 這事，最終不了了之。
I have a feeling that the Government is testing the memory of Members and the public; it adopts a stalling tactic in the hope that the incident will fade away from our memory and the matter will ultimately be left unsettled
主席，我認為這是個很嚴重的問題，代理主席怎可以這樣做？
President in my view this arrangement has posed a very serious problem . How could the Deputy President do that?
剛才她是否示意要發言，所以便拖延，讓司長暫時無須發言答辯......
I wonder if she prolonged the proceedings of the Council because she had made an indication to speak just now sparing the Chief Secretary for Administration the need to respond for now
主席，我認為這是很嚴重的問題。
President I consider this arrangement has posed a very serious problem
代理主席，我發言支持《2017年水務設施條例草案》。
Deputy President I speak in support of the Waterworks Amendment Bill 2017 the Bill
《條例草案》的源起是2015年暑假爆發的鉛水風波，當時事件一度發酵，出現了不少情況，甚至一些比較極端的事件，包括有政府官員落區時被人強迫飲用含鉛食水。
The Bill originates from the outbreak of the incident of excess lead found in drinking water during the summer holiday in 2015 . The incident has fermented and led to great controversies and some relatively extreme cases in which some government officials were forced to consume water containing lead when they were visiting districts
事件有一點一發不可收拾之勢，由公屋發展至私人樓宇，居民無不人心惶惶。
Things have got out of control and spread from public rental housing PRH estates to private residential buildings where all residents were plunged into panic
事情被揭發後，我們作為不同地區的區議員，當然有責任共同跟進。
After the unveiling of the incident as members of various District Councils it was of course our responsibility to follow up the incident together
