主席，雖然局長未能就我所提質詢的第二部分提供資料，但我希望政府能盡快作出研究，因為正如局長剛才所說，香港的土地資源有限，發展地下空間確實是不錯的建議，而經民聯早前已向局長和政府提出有關建議。
President although the Secretary cannot provide the information requested in part 2 of my question I hope the Government will undertake a study as soon as possible because as mentioned by the Secretary just now land resources in Hong Kong are limited and it is indeed a good idea to develop underground space which the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong has proposed earlier to both the Secretary and the Government
當然，成本也是我們需要考慮的一個問題，但是，政府如在日後作出大型規劃時不預早研究地下空間的運用問題，一旦樓宇建成，便再難進行發展。
Of course one of the factors we have to take into consideration is the costs involved but if a study on the use of underground space is not conducted in advance when large - scale planning is carried out by the Government in the future it will be very difficult for us to implement development projects in this respect once the construction works are completed
我想問局長，政府會否把規劃地下空間納入政府所有規劃研究，使之成為當中的一部分？
I would like to ask the Secretary whether the Government will include the planning of underground space in all planning studies so that it will become a part of these studies?
多謝林健鋒議員的補充質詢。
I thank Mr Jeffrey LAM for his supplementary question
在這方面，我們要進行兩項研究，其一是主體質詢所提及的4個策略性地區，其二是較為整體地檢視發展地下空間所面對的挑戰和不同的困難。
In this connection we have to conduct two studies one on the four Strategic Urban Areas SUAs as mentioned in the main question and the other on a holistic review of the challenges and difficulties encountered in taking forward the development of underground space
林議員剛才提到在進行未來規劃時，須注意就發展地下空間留有彈性。
Mr LAM opined just now that care should be taken in our future planning to allow flexibility for the development of underground space
此外，亦有意見認為日後在一些新發展區，例如古洞北、粉嶺北和洪水橋等地方，應預先作出適當的考慮。
In addition views have also been expressed on the need to give due consideration in advance in the future to the use of underground space in some new development areas such as Kwu Tung North Fanling North Hung Shui Kiu and so on
香港零售業用地一直不足，相信很多香港市民也知道，而這亦導致租金高昂。
As many people in Hong Kong are well aware the supply of land for retail businesses has all along been very tight in Hong Kong and this is a factor behind the problem of soaring rents
故此，對於局方發展地下空間，我非常支持。
Hence I very much support the Bureaus initiative to develop underground space
這構思來自2013年的施政報告，據我所知，局長在2015年6月開始進行研究，但按局長剛才所說，要在2018年才會有初步構思方案。
The idea was first announced in the 2013 Policy Address and to my knowledge the Secretary launched a study in June 2015 but according to his reply preliminary conceptual schemes will only be available in 2018
他們是很重要的持份者，他們提出的意見會否影響你們在相關地區進行發展的積極性？
Since they are very important stakeholders whether the views they expressed will have an impact on the Governments enthusiasm in taking forward the development of underground space in such areas?
因為我相信供應越多，需求便越少，有機會令業主的收入減少，在這方面局長會如何作出考量？
As I believe that there will be less demand when supply increases which may result in less revenue for landowners what consideration will be made by the Secretary in this regard?
主席，關於執行時間，我們必定會抓緊。
President with regard to the timing for taking forward our plan we will definitely take timely action to develop underground space
不過，在推行地下空間發展時，我們第一方面必須進行兩個階段的公眾參與；第二方面，完成了第一階段的公眾參與後，在按照收集所得的意見擬備發展大綱時，我們必須一如主體答覆所說，進行大量技術評估來支持所接獲的意見，從而決定哪些建議可以落實，並就不能落實的意見作出交代。
However when development projects are implemented in this respect we must launch two stages of public engagement on the one hand and on the other hand after completing the Stage 1 Public Engagement we must do a series of technical assessments as mentioned in the main reply on the conceptual schemes developed with due consideration of the views received so as to determine which proposals can be taken on board and give an account of those which cannot be implemented
不過，在另一方面，我可以告訴大家，總體而言，在我們諮詢兩個區議會及舉辦若干巡迴展覽後收集所得的意見中，約有八成半以上人士支持我們進行這項工作及作進一步探討。
Nevertheless from another point of view I can tell everyone that generally speaking and according to the views received in our consultation with the two District Councils and the roving exhibitions launched about 85 % or more respondents supported our initiatives to develop underground space and carry out further study on the plan
亦有意見認為，可在地下空間適當加入一些商業設施，但亦可以加入一些社區需要的設施，或將一些不太受歡迎的地面設施遷入地底。
Views have also been expressed on the possibility of including appropriately some commercial facilities in the development of underground space and it is also considered feasible to provide the required community facilities in underground space or relocate some unwelcome facilities above ground to such space
主席，民建聯過去一直支持當局全方位開拓土地，包括善用岩洞及發展地下空間，以改善地面交通、增加社區設施和善用土地。
President the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong has always supported government actions in expanding land resources comprehensively including the optimal use of rock caverns and development of underground space with a view to improving road traffic providing more community facilities and using land more efficiently
就這個問題，希望局長能就啟德的發展大綱，一併考慮起動九龍東的部分。
In this connection I hope the Secretary would consider the initiatives of energizing Kowloon East in parallel with the planning for Kai Tak Development
其實，啟德發展區毗鄰九龍東、黃大仙和觀塘，亦非常接近九龍灣發展區，希望局長能同時考慮這一方面。
In fact the Kai Tak Development Area adjoins Kowloon East Wong Tai Sin and Kwun Tong and is located in close proximity to the development area in Kowloon Bay and I hope the Secretary would take this into consideration
此外，我想請局長回應另一問題，因為每當我們要發展地下空間，都會面對一些環境和生態影響，例如地下水資源及在地面造成的生態影響。
Besides I would like to ask the Secretary to respond to another question because whenever a suggestion is made to develop underground space certain environmental and ecological impacts will be encountered such as groundwater resources and the above ground ecological impacts of the development
所以，請柯議員放心，這方面我們會注意。
Therefore Mr OR can rest assure that we will pay attention to this
主席，旺角是傳統的旅遊旺區，人流多、交通擠塞是長期存在的問題。
President Mong Kok is traditionally a hot tourist spot with heavy pedestrian flow and the long existing problem of traffic congestion
最近，路政署也在區議會提出在旺角興建超級天橋的方案，以紓緩人流，但這個方案估計需時5年才可完成。
Recently the Highways Department has also proposed in the District Council the construction of a super long footbridge in Mong Kok to improve pedestrian flow but it is estimated that the construction works will take five years to complete
既然局方也看到問題所在，我想問局長為何當局不考慮在旺角發展地下購物街？
Since the Bureau also understands where the problem lies I would like to ask the Secretary why does the Government not consider developing underground shopping streets in Mong Kok?
其實，發展地下購物街較興建天橋更不擾民，可帶來更佳效果，既不會帶來路面影響，亦可增加旺角的商鋪供應，不知局長對此有何考慮呢？
As a matter of fact public nuisance caused by the development of underground shopping streets should be less serious than that caused by the construction of a super long footbridge . Hence what consideration will be given by the Secretary to the development of underground shopping streets in Mong Kok which will achieve better effects has no impact on road traffic but will increase the supply of shop facilities in the district?
為何我們在發展地下空間時要先揀選這4個策略性地區，而沒有包括油尖旺呢？
What are the reasons for selecting the four SUAs instead of Yau Tsim Mong for study on underground space development?
其中一個很重要的原因是現時所揀選的數個地區，主要是涉及公園/休憩用地及政府用地，如要發展地下空間，業權問題會較容易解決，而且一般而言，地下亦沒有太多複雜設施，儘管在討論灣仔的相關發展時發現涉及港鐵的通道，需要作出遷就。
A very important reason is that in the existing selected areas the sites involved are mainly parksopen space and government land thus making it easier to resolve the ownership problem if we decide to develop underground space there . Moreover generally speaking there are not many complicated underground facilities in the sites involved though it has been discovered during the discussion of the development plan for Wan Chai that MTR facilities would be involved and some adjustments might have to be made
所以，我們須在下一階段總結經驗後，才會再作進一步考慮。
Hence further consideration will only be made after we have summed up experience in the next stage
主席，地下街的研究和發展，會無可避免地涉及私人地段地底下的業權收購問題，從過往興建沙中線和西港島線的經驗，可發現往往會引起很大的疑慮和滋擾。
President the study and development of underground space will inevitably involve the acquisition of underground space ownership of private lots and past experiences in implementing railway projects like the Shatin to Central Link and West Island Line indicate that this has always led to serious doubts and nuisance
根據政府在2011年提交立法會的文件，當時曾舉行數十場地區諮詢會向市民作出解釋，居民所關注的一般是有關賠償、重建影響和結構安全等的疑慮，而政府提交立法會的文件甚至提到可向政府申索賠償。
According to a paper submitted by the Government to this Council in 2011 tens of regional forums were held then to explain the case to the public and the affected residents were generally concerned about such issues as compensation impacts on redevelopment structural safety and so on . It was even stated in the paper submitted by the Government to this Council that it would be possible for the affected persons to claim compensation from the Government
所以，為免在發展地下街時引起同類或更大的憂慮，我想問政府會否因應過往經驗，探討在收回地下空間時應引用甚麼條例行事？
Therefore in order to avoid similar or even greater worries when underground space development projects are implemented I would like to ask the Government whether it will learn from past experiences and explore what ordinances should be invoked for the recovery of underground space?
當局可否就有關條例是否訂有賠償機制，以及它就重建以至結構安全問題的處理，擬備清晰文件向公眾作出解釋，釋除公眾的疑慮？
Can the authorities address public concerns in this regard by preparing a paper to clearly explain to the public whether a compensation mechanism is provided for in these ordinances and how such issues as redevelopment and structural safety will be dealt with under such ordinances?
主席，關於是項補充質詢所提及，牽涉到賠償、結構安全及重建影響等問題，在不同的地下空間發展中均可能會有不同程度的影響。
President with regard to the issues mentioned in the supplementary question that is the problems arise in such aspects as compensation structural safety and impacts on redevelopment when underground space development projects are implemented the extent of influence brought forth may vary from case to case
但是，就是次我們揀選的4個地區，正如我剛才回答姚思榮議員的補充質詢時所指出，涉及的都是公園/休憩用地，基本上絕大部分是政府土地，所以牽涉的問題亦比較簡單。
However as I have pointed out just now in my reply to the supplementary question raised by Mr YIU Si - wing most of the sites involved in the four areas selected for the current study are parksopen space which are basically government land and the problems concerned are thus relatively simple
第二，關於剛才提到的結構安全問題，請大家放心，香港各個相關專業的人員一直以來都緊守崗位。
Secondly as for the concerns expressed about structural safety Members can rest assure that practitioners of various related professions in Hong Kong have all along been performing their duties diligently
至於萬一牽涉收購業權的問題，過往亦 有先例，包括當年興建港鐵的鐵路時，都有相關條例處理。
In case there is a need to acquire the ownership of underground space there are also precedents which we can refer to including the relevant ordinances invoked back in those years to deal with the construction of MTR lines
所以，在這方面，我們有信心可處理得到。
Hence we are confident that we can tackle the problems involved in this regard
主席，其實除了局長剛才所說，策略性研究中所牽涉的4個地區之外，港、九、新界也有不少隧道網絡，當中有些橫跨很多交通交匯點，貫通了不同的建築物和基建設施，有些甚至貫通了港鐵站和大型商場。
President apart from the four urban areas selected for the Pilot Study as mentioned by the Secretary just now there are in fact a large number of tunnel networks on Hong Kong Island in Kowloon and in the New Territories . Some of these networks stretch across a number of traffic junctions link up different buildings and infrastructural facilities and some even link up MTR stations and large shopping malls
局長可否拆牆鬆綁，盡快在適合的地方發展商業活動以至地區設施，藉以更加善用這些大好機會？
Is it possible for the Secretary to abolish unnecessary regulations and restrictions so that commercial activities and even regional facilities may be developed expeditiously in suitable sites with a view to making best use of such golden opportunities?
主席，這真的要取決於不同地點和不同地段的所在位置，以及該處有何地下設施、業權及周遭環境如何。
President this will really depend on the location of different sites identified for underground space development the underground facilities in these sites their ownership as well as the surrounding environment
我們認同盧議員所說，在地下空間方面，香港有潛力進行整全、全面的考慮和發展，就此我們已在另一項研究中進行檢視。
I agree with Ir Dr LO that as far as the issue of underground space is concerned Hong Kong does have the potential to address it with consolidated and comprehensive consideration and development and in this connection a review has already been conducted in the other study
今次先就4個策略性地區進行研究，可有助我們總結經驗，並希望協助社會就此問題更易達成共識，有利於在下一步進行全面檢視和推展時，更容易得到整個社會的接納。
The study currently undertaken on the four SUAs can help us sum up experience with the hope of facilitating society to reach a consensus on the issue more easily . This will be beneficial to our efforts to solicit support from society as a whole in the next stage when a comprehensive review is conducted on underground space development and development projects are implemented in this regard
勞工處於2013年發出《預防被貨車尾板夾傷的危害安全指引》，供貨運業參考。
The Labour Department LD published in 2013 the Guidance Notes on Prevention of Trapping Hazards of Tail Lifts Notes for reference by members of the freight transport sector
然而，有業內人士指出，過去6年發生多宗涉及貨車尾板操作的工業意外，造成4名工人死亡及多人受傷。
However some members of the sector have pointed out that a number of industrial accidents involving the operation of tail lifts occurred in the past six years resulting in the death of four workers and a number of injuries
他們因此認為政府單靠不具法律效力的《指引》，難以真正保障貨車尾板操作人員的職業安全。
They therefore consider that the Government cannot truly safeguard the occupational safety of operators of tail lifts by relying solely on the Notes which have no legal effect
主席，就潘兆平議員的質詢，我答覆如下： 一 勞工處一直十分關注貨車尾板操作的職業安全。
President my reply to the questions raised by Mr POON Siu - ping is as follows 1 Labour Department LD has all along been very concerned about the occupational safety of tail lift operation
除了恆常巡查執法之外，勞工處亦會針對物流及相關作業進行特別執法行動，行動範圍包括貨車尾板的安全運作。
Apart from regular enforcement inspection LD also carries out special enforcement operations targeting the logistics and related industries . These operations cover the safe operation of tail lifts
除此之外，勞工處亦有就不安全的尾板操作發出警告及敦促改善通知書，並跟進相關持責者盡快作出改善，但勞工處並沒有分類備存有關數字。
Besides LD issued warnings and improvement notices to duty holders involved in unsafe tail lift operation and followed up with these duty holders to ensure that prompt remedial actions are taken . LD does not keep statistics on the concerned warnings and improvement notices issued
二 勞工處去年曾就裝有尾板的貨車是否符合《預防被貨車尾板夾傷的危害安全指引》的要求進行調查，涉及超過1,000部貨車，結果顯示只有約5%的貨車已裝置《指引》內要求的雙手控制裝置，情況並不理想。
2 Last year LD conducted a survey on the compliance of goods vehicles with tail lifts with the Guidance Notes on Prevention of Trapping Hazard of Tail Lifts GN . Over 1 000 goods vehicles were sampled for the study and the findings revealed that only about 5 % of the goods vehicles were installed with the two - hand control device as required in GN
事實上，勞工處於2015年發出經修訂的《指引》後，一直與業界保持緊密聯繫，有關商會、工會及個別立法會議員向勞工處反映由於香港裝有尾板的貨車數目不少，希望勞工處能夠給予足夠時間，讓業界能有序地安裝這些裝置，並在執法時考慮有關情況。
This compliance rate was far from satisfactory . As a matter of fact after the issuance of the revised GN in 2015 LD has been maintaining close contact with the industry . In view of the large number of goods vehicles fitted with tail lifts in Hong Kong concerned trade associations workers unions and some Legislative Council Members appealed to LD to allow sufficient time for the industry to retrofit their goods vehicles in accordance with GN and to take this into account in taking enforcement actions
勞工處現正考慮有關意見，並會繼續與業界進行商討，期望盡快與業界達成共識。
LD is considering these views and will continue to liaise with the industry with a view to reaching a consensus with the industry as soon as possible
但我想強調，勞工處殷切期望業界能在切實可行的情況下盡快安裝有關裝置，以保障工人安全，而在完成安裝有關安全裝置前，業界必須嚴格訂立及實施在《指引》中提及的安全工作制度，包括張貼警告告示於貨車顯眼位置，以及避免任何人走近尾板與車尾之間的閉合夾口等措施，以保障操作者及其他人士的安全。
Nevertheless I want to emphasize that LD earnestly hope that the industry will install the concerned devices in reasonably practicable circumstances as soon as possible in order to protect the safety of tail lift operators . Before completion of the retrofitting the industry must develop and implement in a rigorous manner a safe system of work in accordance with the requirements as stipulated in GN . The safe system of work shall include posting of warning notices conspicuously on the goods vehicles and taking measures to prevent any person from approaching the closing nip between the tail lift and the rear part of the goods vehicles so as to ensure the safety of the operators and other persons
至於政府所採購的車輛，目前有21輛新採購貨車的尾板正按最新的《指引》裝配，而政府亦會陸續安排現有約280部車輛進行所需裝配工程，以符合《指引》的安全要求。
For the goods vehicles owned by the Government newly - purchased goods vehicles with tail lifts are fitted with safety devices in accordance with GN . Arrangement is also being made to retrofit about 280 existing government goods vehicles to meet the safety requirements in accordance with GN
三 過往多宗貨車尾板致命意外均與尾板欠缺安全裝置有關，這說明貨車尾板操作的潛在危險不能單靠個人的警覺性及戒備行為便能完全消除，裝設《指引》內要求的安全裝置，可避免人為疏忽而導致的意外。
3 The several fatal accidents involving tail lift were attributed to the absence of necessary safety devices . This underlined the fact that potential hazards of tail lift operation could not be completely eliminated by relying solely on personal alertness and vigilance . Installation of safety devices as required in GN can prevent tail lift accidents caused by human negligence
為了讓業界更有效掌握裝 設相關安全裝置的技術，香港生產力促進局有為業界就貨車尾板安全裝置提供技術及工程指導及顧問服務等支援。
In order to better equip the industry with the technique required to install the safety devices the Hong Kong Productivity Council is providing relevant technical support and consultancy services to the industry
同時，勞工處認同提高工人的安全意識同樣重要，為此勞工處一直與有關工會及商會保持緊密溝通，將尾板安全信息傳達至前線工人。
Meanwhile LD agrees that enhancing the safety awareness of workers is equally important . In this regard LD has been maintaining close contact with relevant workers unions and trade associations and conveying through these organizations the relevant safety messages to their frontline workers
勞工處自2013年起已多次為業界舉辦有關貨車尾板的安全講座，廣邀業界人士包括商會、工會及安裝尾板的供應商或承辦商等出席。
Since 2013 LD has organized a number of seminars about safe tail lift operation for the industry and invited trade associations workers unions and tail lift supplierscontractors to join
勞工處亦就過去的致命意外發出了"職安警示"，提醒業界一定要採取相應的安全措施，以避免同類意外發生。
LD has also issued Work Safety Alerts to alert the industry to the occurrence of fatal accidents and to remind them to take corresponding safety measures to prevent recurrence of such accidents
此外，勞工處聯同職業安全健康局在2016年製作了宣傳安全操作尾板的宣傳短片，除將其上載到勞工處及職安局的網頁外，亦透過公共平台，包括公共交通工具，以及設有廣播設施的多個政府部門單位廣播。
LD in collaboration with Occupational Safety and Health Council OSHC produced a promotional video on the safety of tail lift operation in 2016 . In addition to uploading the video to the web page of LD and OSHC LD has broadcasted the video through public platforms such as public transport and government locations equipped with broadcasting facilities
勞工處亦印製了有關安全海報及單張，並已透過工會及商會派發給業界人士。
LD also produced relevant safety posters and leaflets and disseminated them to the industry through trade associations and workers unions
勞工處現階段未有計劃強制貨車尾板操作人員必須參加使用貨車尾板安全訓練課程。
At this stage LD has no plan to mandate tail lift operators to attend training courses on safe operation of tail lifts
勞工處會繼續採取一系列宣傳、推廣及教育措施，提高貨車尾板操作人員的安全意識。
LD will continue to promote the safety awareness of tail lift operators through various publicity promotion and education initiatives
主席，局長的主體答覆指出，勞工處去年曾進行一項調查，結果顯示，在1000部貨車之中，只有5%安裝了《指引》內要求的裝置，情況並不理想，而政府本身的280部車輛之中，亦只有21輛安裝了安全裝置。
President the Secretary points out in the main reply that LD conducted a survey last year and the survey result shows that only 5 % of the 1 000 goods vehicles being surveyed installed the safety device required in GN and the compliance rate is far from satisfactory; and that of the 280 existing government goods vehicles only 21 goods vehicles installed the safety device
局長在第三部分的答覆中清楚指出，過往多宗貨車尾板導致的意外均與尾板欠缺安全裝置有關，這說明貨車尾板操作的潛在危害不能單靠個人的警覺性及戒備行為便能完全消除，裝設《指引》內要求的安全裝置，可避免人為疏忽而導致的意外。
In part 3 of the reply the Secretary specifically points out that the several accidents involving tail lift operation are attributed to the absence of safety devices underlining the fact that potential hazards of tail lift operation cannot be completely eliminated by relying solely on personal alertness and vigilance and that installing the safety devices required in GN can prevent tail lift accidents caused by human negligence
英國對貨車尾板裝置及操作是有法例規管的，我想問政府會否考慮立法，要求新註冊的貨車必須設有尾板安全裝置，並資助現有的貨車把不符合標準的尾板更換呢？
In the United Kingdom tail lift devices for goods vehicles and their operation are regulated by law . May I ask the Government whether it will consider enacting legislation to require that safety devices be installed in all newly - registered goods vehicles fitted with tail lift and subsidizing existing goods vehicles to replace their non - compliant tail lift?
這些標準全都符合國際標準，完全顧及到業界的實際情況。
All these standards meet international standards and the actual circumstances of the industry have been taken into account
我們亦明白業界需要時間，所以我們現在會兩方面一起去做，一方面我們會加強宣傳、教育和推廣，與業界保持溝通；另一方面我們會展開具體可行的工作，例如我們要求貨車在未安裝車尾安全裝置之前，最低限度要張貼足夠的警告告示，並要在操作期間特別留意，不要讓人們走近貨車尾板。
We will thus proceed in two directions . On the one hand we will step up publicity education and promotion and maintain communication with the industry; and on the other we will kick start certain feasible and specific tasks . For instance we will require goods vehicles with safety devices yet to be installed for their tail lift to at least affix sufficient warning and notices and tail lift operators to watch out for people walking nearby during tail lift operation
主席，我首先想指出，《指引》其實是有法律效力的，並非如潘兆平議員所理解，純粹是一個指引。
President first of all I wish to point out that GN is a legally - binding document rather than purely a guiding note as Mr POON understand it
政府的主體答覆第二部分提到，勞工處在2015年發出經修訂的《指引》後，一直與業界保持緊密聯繫，而局長剛才亦提及很多諮詢工作。
It is mentioned in part 2 of the Governments main reply that after the issuance of the revised GN in 2015 LD has been maintaining close contact with the industry . And the Secretary also mentioned just now the series of consultative work done
主體答覆其實已經告訴大家，事前的諮詢並不完善，在欠缺一個妥善的實行計劃之前，便倉卒修訂《指引》，導致現時已經安裝尾板的車主誤墮法網。
In fact the main reply already tells us that the Government has failed to conduct proper prior consultation and has hastily published the revised GN without a sound prior implementation plan
為了避免日後再次發生同樣情況，我想問局長會否考慮修訂相關法例，使日後不用透過修訂《指引》的形式來更新法例要求，而是改為以附屬法例的形式來進行，好像潘兆平議員剛才所提出，令所有相關人士可以在及早獲知會的情況下，以及與局方訂出妥善的執行方案之後，法例才正式生效呢？
As a result owners of goods vehicles fitted with tail lift have inadvertently broken the law . In order to avoid similar cases from happening again may I ask the Secretary whether he will consider amending the ordinance concerned so that any new legal requirements in future can be made in the form of subsidiary legislation as Mr POON suggested just now rather than by revising GN thereby making it possible for all stakeholders to be informed of the changes early and for the Government to formulate a sound implementation plan before the subsidiary legislation takes effect?
所以，每條人命也很重要，我們要實事求是，我們知悉業界的憂慮，例如有業界人士對裝置的認識不足，或憂慮市場有否那麼多設備，我們會提供資料，亦邀請了香港生產力促進局幫忙在這方面做工夫，所以，大家無須太憂慮。
We know the concerns of the industry . For instance some members of the industry are concerned that they do not have adequate knowledge of the devises while some are worried that there may not be so many devices available in the market . We will provide the relevant information for them and we have invited the Hong Kong Productivity Council to provide the relevant assistance
但是，我明白業界的困難，所以大家要一起攜手解決問題。
But I do understand the difficulties the industry is facing . We thus need to tackle this issue together
有關貨車尾板的《指引》，勞工處在2015年10月作出更新時，並沒有考慮到業界和前線司機的難處，這是現時只有很少貨車已裝設合規格尾板的一個重要原因，這從剛才局長提供的數字亦可以看到。
When LD revised GN in October 2015 it did not take into consideration the difficulties the industry and frontline drivers would encounter . This is an important reason why to date very few goods vehicles have installed a compliant tail lift as can also be seen in the data the Secretary just cited
此外，很多從業員都不知道新安裝的尾板是否符合規定，有說法指，安裝費用最少需要數萬元，不是很多自僱司機可以負擔，對業界亦做成相當大困難。
Besides many practitioners are unsure whether their newly - installed tail lifts comply with the requirements . Some say that the installation costs at least a few ten thousand dollars which is an unaffordable amount to many self - employed drivers and also something which has created much difficulty to the industry
