不過，我必須指出，把這些有臨時用途或有待長遠發展的土地改作其他發展，面對的挑戰也不少，因為這些臨時用途雖屬臨時，但可能在社區已存在一段相當長的時間。
However I have to point out that using these sites which have been put to temporary uses or are pending long term use for other development purposes will also pose a lot of challenges because though of a temporary nature the sites may have been occupied by different uses for a rather long period of time
剛才 我提及以短期租約租出的停車場，如它們長期在社區存在，往往也反映出社區對此有一定的確切需要。
Take car parks operating under short - term tenancies I mentioned just now as examples . If the community has been provided with such facilities for a long time these are to a certain extent community facilities that the public genuinely need
很多時，我們需要為這些相關用途作重置安排，不過要另覓用地亦非簡單容易。另外，並非所有空置政府土地也適合作高密度發展。
Such uses can therefore not be terminated without the need for reprovisioning but it is not always simple and easy to identify other sites for accommodating these operations
邵家臻議員，你還有53秒答辯。
Mr SHIU Ka - chun you still have 53 seconds to reply
可是，在20年後的今天，羅致光站在雞蛋的另一邊，牽頭削減綜援。
Twenty years down the line however LAW Chi - kong today stands on the side opposite to the egg taking the lead to cut the CSSA rate
他剛才的回應叫人失望，真是"官字兩個口，富字5個口，窮字一個口也沒有"。
His reply just now was disappointing bearing testimony to the fact that the Government always has the last word doubly so for the rich and not at all for the poor
再次感謝5位提出修正案的議員，以及32位發言的議員。
I thank again the five Members who have proposed amendments and the 32 Members who have spoken
我懇請各位議員支持我的議案，為貧者發聲，讓綜援受助人沉冤得雪。
I implore all Members to support my motion in an effort to speak up for the poor and right the wrong done to CSSA recipients
政府今天竟然要收緊長者綜援年齡，根本是破壞社會保障制度。
By actually tightening the eligibility age for elderly CSSA the Government is basically undermining the social security system
立法會的聲音很清晰，就是立即擱置收緊長者綜援年齡要求的措施。
This Council is clear in its stance in demanding the immediate shelving of the measure to tighten the age requirement for elderly CSSA
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：邵家臻議員動議的議案，經張超雄議員、梁志祥議員、梁耀忠議員、郭家麒議員及區諾軒議員修正後，予以通過。
I now put the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Mr SHIU Ka - chun as amended by Dr Fernando CHEUNG Mr LEUNG Che - cheung Mr LEUNG Yiu - chung Dr KWOK Ka - ki and Mr AU Nok - hin be passed
"欺貧怕富無天理"，這個題目成為了本周議案的重點。
Bullying the poor and being afraid of the rich without justice has become the focal point of the motion this week
之前綜合社會保障援助計劃的改革是關於"欺貧"，因為綜援計劃欺負綜援人士，令他們含冤20年，有關改革得到各位議員的支持。
The earlier reform of the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance CSSA Scheme was about the poor being bullied since the CSSA Scheme has been bullying CSSA recipients and doing them injustice for 20 years . The relevant reform was supported by various Members
涂謹申議員的議案則是關於"怕富"，不知道會得到多少人的支持。
Mr James TOs motion is about fearing the rich . I wonder how much support it will receive
我們經常聽到香港地少人多，地從何來的問題。
Given that Hong Kong is small but densely populated we often hear the question Where comes the land?
政府盲目抓緊沒有土地的觀點，執迷於大興土木的守舊規劃概念，聲稱要移山填海才能滿足現況，卻隻字不提這問題的根源是官商勾結、土地和業權壟斷、永續的丁屋政策、大量閒置官地和未發展的棕地等問題。
Blindly adhering to the viewpoint on land shortage and sticking to the old planning concept of massive construction the Government claims that removal of hills and reclamation are necessary to satisfy the current needs . But it makes no mention that the root causes of this problem are collusion between the Government and the business sector monopolization of land and ownership the everlasting small house policy plenty of idle government land and brownfield sites not being developed etc
我們要着眼於最根本的社會和權力結構問題，不能讓政府和發展商再破壞土地以鞏固自身的特權及利益。
We should focus on the most fundamental problem in respect of social and power structures . We cannot allow the Government and developers to ruin any more land to consolidate their own privileges and interests
所以，在房屋政策議題上，政府要考慮兩點。
Hence on the issue of the housing policy the Government needs to consider two points
第一，如果政府要解決土地供應不足的問題，首先要取回土地供應的主導權。
First if the Government wishes to resolve the shortage of land supply it should first take back the leading role in land supply
第二，香港缺乏的不是土地而是規劃。
Second what Hong Kong lacks is not land but planning
正所謂球證、旁證加上主辦、協辦所有單位都是政府的人，我們怎能與她相鬥？
The referee assistant referees the organizer and co - organizers so to speak are all on the Governments side . How can we match her?
政府更有大條道理進行填海，為大灣區的融合計劃圓夢。
The Government seems even more justifiable to conduct reclamation to fulfil the integration plan of the Greater Bay Area as it has desired
規劃的第一個原則，是要豐富現有環境。
The first principle in planning is the need to enrich the existing environment
在咫尺之間其實已有一項選擇，就是全面收回粉嶺高爾夫球場作發展房屋用途。
Actually just around the corner there is already an option ie . full resumption of the Fanling golf course FGC for the purpose of housing development
社會上對於收回高爾夫球場的聲音已經漸趨一致，專責小組的報告亦已具體呈 現出來。
Opinions in society on resumption of the golf course have gradually become unanimous . Such has been specifically conveyed in the report of the Task Force
說到底，高爾夫球場用地並非土地供應問題，亦不是香港作為國際城市應否有高爾夫球場的問題，而是土地公義及社會公義的問題。
After all the question concerning the FGC site is not about land supply . Neither is it about whether Hong Kong being an international city should have a golf course . Instead it is about land justice and social justice
粉嶺高爾夫球場是香港人的土地，並不屬於香港哥爾夫球會及其會員。
FGC is the land of Hong Kong people . It does not belong to the Hong Kong Golf Club or its members
提出收回高爾夫球場用地，不代表不支持這種運動，不代表仇富心理。
Our proposal on resumption of the FGC site does not mean we do not support this sport . It does not mean hatred against the rich
我只想探討一種可能性，尋求一個折衷、兩全其美的方案，找一個地方重置高爾夫球場。
I merely wish to explore a possibility and seek a compromised solution satisfactorily for both parties to identify a site for relocating the golf course
過往民間曾提出滘西洲是一個上好的重置地點。
In the past it has been proposed in the community that Kau Sai Chau is a good site for the relocation
其實粉嶺與高爾夫球場不是一個等號，是可以分開的。
In fact Fanling does not equate with golf course . They can be separate from each other
政府應盡快為高爾夫球場物色更合適的地方，解決這個兩難局面。
The Government should expeditiously identify a more suitable site for the golf course to resolve this dilemma
規劃的第二個原則，是實踐"先棕後綠藍"的發展方向，即先發展不能務農的棕地，再考慮郊野公園及填海，以此作為發展土地的基礎。
The second principle in planning is implementation of the development direction of brown before green and blue . That means developing brownfield sites which cannot be used for farming before considering country parks and reclamation . This should serve as the basis of land development
根據本土研究社就棕地現況進行的研究，香港棕地的面積由1993年的792公頃增加至2017年的1,521公頃，25年來增加了五成。
According to the study conducted by Liber Research Community on the present situation of brownfield the total area of brownfield sites in Hong Kong has increased from 792 hectares in 1993 to 1 521 hectares in 2017 seeing an increase of 50 % in 25 years
明明眼前有這麼大的一塊"餅"，政府卻說要覓地填海，尋找更大的"餅"，真的有點荒謬。
There is such a big pie right before our eyes but the Government says it is necessary to identify sites for reclamation to seek a bigger pie
每次談到棕地，政府就會"戴頭盔"，說棕地十分零碎，難以發揮有效功用，又或表示引用《收回土地條例》會面臨司法覆核，以此作擋箭牌。
How ridiculous! . Every time we speak on brownfield the Government would act chicken saying that brownfield sites are too fragmentary to produce the desired effect . Or it would resort to the pretext that if it invokes the Lands Resumption Ordinance it would face judicial review
發展棕地有其優勢，一般棕地均處於有利位置，交通方便，土地較平坦，水電一應俱全。
The development of brownfield sites has its advantages . Most brownfield sites are at favourable locations where traffic is convenient the land is relatively flat and water and power supply are readily available
政府經常貿然把"零碎"與"沒用"劃上等號，但本土研究社早前發表的《合棕連橫：新界棕土發展潛力研究》報告卻指出，本港有大量面積最少為兩公頃即政府口中的"零碎"的相鄰棕地群，適合發展中低密度的鄉村式公屋。
The Government often rashly equates fragmentary with useless . However as pointed out in the report A Study on the Development Potential of Brownfield in the New Territories released by Liber Research Community earlier there are a large number of brownfield land clusters in Hong Kong each covering at least two hectares―described as fragmentary by the Government―suitable for the development of village - type public housing of low to medium density
只要利用三分之一，即約241公頃未作發展規劃的新界棕地，已足夠興建84,000個公屋單位。
If we use only one third of such land that means about 241 hectares of brownfield sites in the New Territories which have not been planned for development it is already sufficient for the construction of 84 000 public housing units
《收回土地條例》訂明政府收回任何土地作公共用途的權利及補償的義務。
The Lands Resumption Ordinance Cap . 124 has provided for the right of the Government to resume any land for public use and its obligation to make compensation
事實上，政府已多次引例收地，包括在2014年收回5.6公頃屯門農地以發展公營房屋，並無受到任何司 法覆核的挑戰。
As a matter of fact the Government has invoked the Ordinance to resume land quite a number of times including the resumption of 5.6 hectares of agricultural land in Tuen Mun in 2014 for developing public housing . It was not challenged by any judicial review
再者，政府之前敢於忽略民間入稟的司法覆核，執意把綠化地改劃作興建私人住宅用途，繼續招標出售地皮，今天卻說擔心會有司法覆核，這根本是"搬龍門"。
Earlier on the Government dared to ignore the possibility of judicial review filed by members of the community insisted on rezoning green belt areas for the construction of private residential units and continued to invite tenders for land . Today it says it is worried that there would be judicial review . It is in fact moving the goalposts
代理主席，我們不能用相同的思維去解決這思維所產生的問題。
Deputy President problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them
只求增加土地，而不建立為人民謀福利的願景或訂立長遠規劃，城市是不可能持續發展的。
If we merely seek more land without establishing a vision or conducting long - term planning for the benefit of the people it is impossible for our city to have sustainable development
然而，假如土地供應不足，調整數字恐怕只會是口惠而實不至。
However if the supply of land is inadequate I am afraid any adjustment to the numbers will only be lip service
故此，政府必須加緊進行覓地建屋的工作，以確保7：3的供應比例能夠落實。
Therefore the Government must speed up its efforts in identifying land for housing production so as to ensure that the split of 7col3 in supply can be realized
今天的原議案和修正案就增加土地供應提出不少建議。
Many proposals on increasing land supply are made in the original motion and amendments today
原則上，這些建議大部分也值得支持，例如發展新界的農地和棕地不論是引用《土地收回條例》收地，抑或是通過公私合營發展土地均值得馬上研究及盡快實施。
Most of them merit our support in principle . For example development of agricultural lands and brownfield sites in the New Territories whether it is achieved by land resumption by virtue of the Land Resumption Ordinance or through public - private partnerships merits immediate study and expeditious implementation
而香港房屋委員會加入"未補價資助出售房屋出租計劃"、盡快重建高齡公共屋邨及增加地積比率等措施，均應該盡早進行規劃。
Planning for other measures such as the participation of the Hong Kong Housing Authority in the Letting Scheme for Subsidised Sale Developments with Premium Unpaid expeditious redevelopment of aged public housing estates and increasing the plot ratios should commence as soon as possible
可是，除了發展房屋外，政府也要平衡整體經濟、民生和社區發展的土地需求。
However apart from housing development the Government needs to strike a balance among the demands for land arising from the overall develeopment of the economy peoples livelihood and the community
將不宜建屋的土地發展為房屋，只會事倍功半，窒礙其他發展。
Housing development on land sites unfit for such purpose just means half of the result with double efforts while hindering other developments
原議案及修正案當中有個別建議選項確不宜撥作房屋用途。
Individual options proposed in the orginal motion and amendment are unsuitable for the use of housing
以空置校舍為例，社會一直有聲音希望政府用作發展文康設施。
Taking vacant school premises as an example there have been views in society that the Government should use such premises for the development of recreational and sports facilities
在2018年，我動議"開拓場地，創造空間，支持本地文化藝術及康體發展"的議員議案中，促請政府善用空置校舍作文化藝術或體育用途。
In 2018 in the members motion Developing venues and creating room to support the development of local culture arts recreations and sports moved by me I urged the Government to make better use of vacant school premises for cultural arts or sports purposes
事實上，不少空置校舍位處鄉村偏僻位置，缺乏交通配套承托大型房屋發展，而部分位於市區的校舍，即使要建屋，也只能作插針式發展。
In fact many vacant school premises are located in remote villages lacking ancillary transport facilities to support large - scale housing development . As regards some school premises in urban areas even if they were used for housing production only single - block development could be carried out
如用作填補過去規劃不足，供文康體育，以至滿足安老等空間需求，相比起過渡性或短期的房屋用途，其社會效益將更明顯。
As compared to the purposes of transitional or short - term housing more significant social benefits can be derived from using vacant school premises for meeting the spatial demand in terms of arts recreation and sports and elderly services with a view to complementing inadequacies in past planning
此外，軍事用地實在不宜建屋。
Moreover it is inappropriate to use military sites for housing production
所謂養兵千日，用在一時，即使現在是太平盛世，也需要具備憂患意識，在各區保留若干空間作軍事用途。
As the saying goes Armies are maintained for a thousand days to be used for one time . Even in peaceful and prosperous times now we ought to stay viligant for distress and disaster and maintain certain space in various districts for military use
這些用地改建為房屋後將會不能逆轉。
Conversion of such sites into housing is irreversible
一些環保團體反對填海，又反對在郊野公園邊陲地帶建屋，理由是要保護生態，但收回高爾夫球場，移除國家一級古樹，影響稀有昆蟲的棲息地，便不算是破壞生態環境嗎？
Some environmental protection groups are against reclamation and construction of housing on the periphery of country parks on the grounds of ecological proection . The resumption of the golf course however will cause the removal of national first - class old trees and an impact on the habitats of rare insects
佔香港面積四成的郊野公園共有44,000公頃土地，是否神聖不可侵犯呢？
Do such effects not constitute destruction of the ecological environment? . Country parks make up 40 % of the total area of Hong Kong amounting to 44 000 hectares of land . Are they so sacred that they cannot be used?
只是動用邊陲地帶的5%，便可以獲得2,200公頃土地，按照一般的建屋比例，可建316,000個單位，容納80萬人居住。
Merely 5 % of the periphery already yields 2 200 hectares of land . Following the general housing production ratio 316 000 units can be builts to house 800 000 people
當然，我並不是指必須優先發展這些郊野公園的邊陲地帶，只是想帶出，如果我們寧願犧牲體育運動發展，而不願意利用生態價值較低的郊野公園邊陲地帶建屋，是否雙重標準呢？
Of course I do not mean to suggest that priority must be given to the development of the periphery of country parks . I just want to point out Is it not a double standard when we would rather sacrifice sports development but are unwilling to make use of the periphery of country parks with lower ecological values for housing production?
代理主席，土地供應專責小組提出的粉嶺高爾夫球場局部發展建議，只能興建4,600個住宅，對房屋需求而言，根本是杯水車薪，但對於本地高爾夫球運動而言，卻是十分嚴重的打擊。
Deputy President the proposal of partial development of the Fanling Golf Course made by the Task Force on Land Supply can cater for producing 4 600 flats only which is absolutely just a drop in a bucket in terms of housing demand but it is a heavy blow to the local golf sport
放眼亞洲，香港總面積1,100平方公里，人口740萬，新加坡面積720平方公里，人口560萬，人口密度比香港還要高，但新加坡最少有大約17個戶外高爾夫球場，而新加坡的居住條件亦較香港優越得多。
Broadening our vision to Asia the total area of Hong Kong is 1 100 sq km and its population stands at 7.4 million whereas the size of Singapore is 720 sq km and its population 5.6 million . With a population density higher than Hong Kong Singapore has at least 17 outdoor golf courses . The living condition in Singapore is much more desirable than that of Hong Kong too
另外，東京約有20個戶外高爾夫球場，而香港目前只有6個戶外高爾夫球場。
Also there are approximately 20 outdoor golf courses in Tokyo while Hong Kong has only six
故此，要是會內同事認為粉嶺高爾夫球場未獲善用，我們更應該站在同一陣線，共同要求球場管理方擴大對公眾開放，加強向公眾推廣高爾夫球運動，以惠及社會，而不是犧牲本地罕有的場地及本地高爾夫球運動的發展。
Therefore if Honourable colleagues of this Council consider the Fanling Golf Course not being put to optimal use we have an even greater need to stand on the same front and jointly request the management of the course to allow for greater public access so as to strenthen the promotion of golf as a sport to the public for the benefit of society instead of sacrificing the scarce local venue and the local golf development
事實上，隨着新界東北逐漸發展，四周將會興建不少高層住宅和商業大廈，充分綠化的粉嶺高爾夫球場正好擔當區內"市肺"，發揮緩衝作用，就好像維多利亞公園之於銅鑼灣，九龍公園之於尖沙咀。
As a matter of fact following the gradual development of North East New Territories as many high - rise residential and commercial buildings will be built in the vincinity the Fanling Golf Course with a high level of greening can play the role of a green lung in the district as a buffer in a fashion similar to the Victoria Park in Causeway Bay and Kowloon Park in Tsim Sha Tsui
香港土地短缺，帶來的不單是住屋問題，各行各業的發展空間也同樣受到擠壓。
The land shortage in Hong Kong not only causes problems in housing but also compresses the room for development for various trades and industries
要保衞一些既得利益時，何患無辭？
When it is necessary to defend some vested interests there will be no lack of excuses
主席，我發言支持涂謹申議員的原議案，要求政府盡快回應市民的訴求，增加短中期的公營房屋供應。
President I speak in support of Mr James TOs original motion which calls on the Government to expeditiously respond to public aspirations by increasing housing supply in the short - to - medium term
現在經過土地大辯論之後，市民也懂得說了，已經朗朗上口，也就是引用《收回土地條例》、使用現有棕地，以及全面收回高爾夫球場，以立刻可以使用的土地來發展公營房屋。
After the big debate on land supply members of the public already know what to say and they can tell eloquently that the Government should invoke the Lands Resumption Ordinance utilize the existing brownfield sites and resume the entire Fanling Golf Course using sites that can be made available immediately for developing public housing
不過，我今天更想與大家討論的是在土地辯論中的數個重要的概念，而我發現政府並沒有向市民說清楚，社會討論時也很容易混淆。
But today I all the more wish to discuss with Members several important concepts in the land debate for I find that the Government has not clearly explained them to the public and these concepts can be easily confused in the discussions in society
其實，這數個概念之間是要有連接位的，不是麵粉一下子便可以變成麵包。
In fact there is connection among these concepts . It is not the case that flour can turn into bread in one go
我們看到香港的土地，當然是不患寡而患不均。
When we look at land in Hong Kong certainly the problem is not with scarcity but with uneven distribution
樓價高企的原因是土地供應銳減，不一定因為土地儲備不足。
Property prices are on the high side because of a drastic fall in land supply not necessarily because of insufficient land reserve
所以，第一個重點是增加土地儲備是否等於增加土地供應？
Therefore the first salient point is whether an increase in land reserves is equivalent to an increase in land supply
全港的土地差不多也是屬於政府的，土地供應可以由政府控制，甚至壟斷。
Almost all land in Hong Kong belongs to the Hong Kong . Land supply can be controlled and even monopolized by the Government
扣除已經出售的土地，政府仍然擁有超過四分之三的土地，加上 港府高度依賴與土地相關、佔政府總收入大約兩成的收入，所謂的高地價政策實際上必須透過政府行政操控，減少土地供應才能成事。
Excluding land that has been sold the Government still owns over three thirds of land . Coupled with the fact that the Government relies heavily on the land - related revenue which accounts for about 20 % of the total government revenue the so - called high land price policy is actually made possible only with a reduction of land supply through administrative manipulation by the Government
多份研究均指出，香港有兩次土地供應銳減的情況，過往我也曾提及。
A number of studies have pointed out that a drastic fall in land supply happened twice in Hong Kong and I have talked about this before
在1985年簽署《中英聯合聲明》後至1997年香港回歸之前，香港出售的土地每年通常為20公頃至30公頃，而在2001年至2009年間，平均土地出售量低於10公頃；2003年SARS之後，由於賣地成績不理想，甚至停止賣地。
During the period after the signing of the Sino - British Joint Declaration in 1985 and the handover of Hong Kong in 1997 usually an average of 20 hectares to 30 hectares of land were sold annually in Hong Kong whereas between 2001 and 2009 the average quantity of land sold was less than 10 hectares and after the SARS outbreak in 2003 a moratorium on land sale was even implemented due to unsatisfactory returns from land sale
我剛才提到過去兩次出現的情況，政府均以行政和意志壓低土地供應，而發展商買入土地後，也可千方百計減慢其建築節奏或出售樓宇的步伐，囤積居奇，以調控私營房屋的供應量。
Just now I said that the same happened twice before and in both of these cases the Government had by administrative measures and by imposing its will suppressed the supply of land and after the developers acquired the land they could by hook or by crook slow down the pace of development or the progress of the sale of properties . In this way they could hoard a large stock of housing and this in turn enabled them to control the supply of private housing
由此可見，透過增加土地供應來增加房屋供應的策略，能否直接有效解決問題呢？
From this we can see that regarding the strategy of increasing land supply to increase housing supply can it be a direct and effective solution to the problem?
我認為值得深入商榷。
I think it is worth in - depth consideration
主席，今天我們辯論的兩項議員議案，剛巧都是關於社會資源分配的合理性，反映特區政府的特質，便是重富輕貧，分配不公，採用雙重標準和偏袒權貴。
President both Members motions under our debate today happen to concern the rationality of social resource distribution . It demonstrates the characteristic of the Special Administrative Region Government which is caring for the rich and ignoring the poor allocating resources in an unfair manner adopting double standards and being biased for the rich and powerful
在剛才議員的辯論中，大家可以看到，很多建制派同事我不可以說他們完全護航他們是選擇性護航，就某些選項，例如高爾夫球場、軍事用地或公私營合作等，大鑼大鼓、舞獅頭地說好，要予以處理，但其實他們與特首林鄭月娥的作風一致。
During Members debate just now we can see that many Honourable colleagues of the pro - establishment camp whom I cannot say have completely defended the Government practice it selectively . Regarding certain options such as the golf course military sites public - private partnership etc they concurred with a fanfare that such items should be addressed but actually they have acted in the same style as Chief Executive Carrie LAM
但很不幸，剛才很多建制派同事只在誇誇而談。
Yet regrettably just now many Honourable colleagues of the pro - establishment camp were merely making flowery talk
我要稱讚何君堯議員，他申報了，其他同事沒有，卻站出來護航。
I need to give credit to Mr Junius HO . He has declared interest . The other Honourable colleagues did not but they came to the defence of the Government
有些同事說，那裏有古樹，有生態價值及歷史建築物，故此不應收回。
Some Honourable colleagues say there are old trees . The place has an ecological value and there are historical buildings . For this reason it should not be resumed
還是只滿足於小規模的土地發展？
Or are we merely contented with small - scale land development?
如果政府只滿足於小規模發展，那真是多餘，因將來其他土地發展將會受阻。
If the Government is merely contented with small - scale development then it is really superfluous because other land development will be impeded in the future
主席，在整項辯論中，某群同事其實只是在保駕護航。
President during the whole debate a certain group of Honourable colleagues were only defending the Government
同一番言論，同一個speech中，其概念可以自相矛盾。
Their concept could be self - contradictory in the very same speech
現在涂謹申議員只提出與中央協商一下而已。
Now Mr James TO has only proposed negotiating with the Central Government . Mr CHAN Hak - kan has put it most correctly
行政長官說過，房屋問題是施政的重中之重，上屆和今屆政府一直努力覓地，可惜房屋供應仍未能追上市民的需求，目前公屋平均輪候時間已經超過5年半，是非常迫切的民生問題。
Despite the continuous efforts of the last and current term Governments to seek land housing supply is still unable to catch up with public demand . The average waiting time for public housing has passed five and a half years . It is indeed a pressing livelihood issue
原議案及9項修正案提出了不少增加短期土地和房屋供應的意見，由於時間關係，我無法逐一回應，以下我會集中表述對於收回棕地及粉嶺高爾夫球場的看法。
The original motion and the nine amendments put forward many proposals to increase land and housing supply in the short term . Due to time constraints I cannot respond to them one by one . Here I will focus on my views on the resumption of brownfield sites and the Fanling Golf Course
土地供應專責小組在2018年最後一天發表報告，列出3個應該優先研究及推行的選項：包括棕地發展、利用私人新界農地儲備、利用私人遊樂場地契約的用地。
The Task Force on Land Supply published a report on the last day of 2018 listing three options worthy of priority studies and implementation namely developing brownfield sites tapping into private agricultural land reserve in the New Territories and using sites under private recreational leases
現時新界大約有1,300公頃棕地，大部分屬於私人土地。
There are about 1 300 hectares of browfield in the New Territories at present most of which are private sites
小組報告指出，市民認為發展棕地可以停止部分棕地作業對環境持續破壞，因此要求優先發展。
The report of the Task Force points out that the public support prioritizing the development of brownfield sites as it can halt the continual damage on the environment inflicted by certain brownfield operations
在此，我必須為棕地及棕地作業者說句公道說話。
Here I must say a few words for brownfield sites and brownfield operators
首先，為何我們會有棕地？
First of all how did brownfield sites come about?
其實大部分棕地的前身都是農地。
In fact most brownfield sites were agricultural land previously
