林鄭月娥單單在防疫的表現已經死10次也不夠，令香港市民終日惶恐。
Carrie LAMs anti - epidemic performance has caused Hong Kong people to live in constant fear and this alone is something that she cannot make up for even if she dies 10 times
如果一開始她便做好封關的工作，我們便無須擔心出現社區感染個案。
Had she implemented border closure from the outset we would not have had to worry about the occurrence of community transmission
若非當天一群醫護人員出來罷工，向特區政府大力施壓，要求封關，林鄭月娥肯封關嗎？
Had it not been for the group of health care workers going on strike piling pressure on the Government and demanding border closure back then would Carrie LAM have been willing to close the border?
今天香港尚算守得住，要多謝的是香港人和醫護人員，而非因為林鄭月娥及其政府做得好，靠的只是香港人自救。
Hong Kong still keeps its ground today thanks to Hong Kong people and health care workers . The credit should go to Hong Kong people who help themselves and not because Carrie LAM and her Administration have been doing a good job
林鄭月娥現在還厚着臉皮叫我們捐口罩予政府，我們已轉贈300萬個口罩予有需要的機構，何須她去做？
Now Carrie LAM has even shamelessly asked us to donate masks to the Government . We have passed on 3 million masks to organizations in need . Why should she do that?
自去年6月起的整場反修例運動的始作俑者就是林鄭月娥，她無故提出修訂，而建制派又附和她，一股腦兒說要推出"送中條例"，結果令香港人震怒。
The perpetuator of the entire movement of opposition to the proposed legislative amendments since June last year is Carrie LAM . She proposed the legislative amendments for no reason and the pro - establishment camp parroted her . Together they pushed forward the extradition bill leaving Hong Kong people in a fury
她知否有很多警察其實很憎恨她及一眾高官？
Does she know that a number of police officers actually detest her and her team of senior officials?
請他們撫心自問，當天進入學堂希望除暴安良的初心，已被這群高官、警方高層所利用。
Would they please examine their conscience . Their original aspiration to fight crimes and maintain public order when being admitted to the Police College has been taken advantage of by these senior government officials and senior management of the Police
現在全世界也知道香港警察聲名狼藉，但警察是否也想如此？
Now the whole world knows about the notoriety of the Hong Kong Police . But do the Police want that?
其實我們的同事已手下留情，現在眼前處理的並非預算案，而是臨時撥款。
In fact our Honourable colleagues have pulled punches . We are now dealing with the funds on account instead of the Budget
大家調查後發現懲教署由2010年開始每月生產口罩，但現在"口罩用時方恨少"，一個也找不到。
After investigation we have come to know that the Correctional Services Department CSD have started to produce masks every month since 2010 . But now we have realized that we do not have enough masks not even able to get one only when we need them
基本上，林鄭月娥殘存的唯一作用就是立即宣布成立獨立調查委員會，然後辭職鞠躬下台，完成她的歷史任務。
Basically the only remaining use of Carrie LAM is to announce the formation of an independent commission of inquiry immediately and then resign and bow out thereby fulfilling her historical mission
大家看看去年的區議會選舉，他們與林鄭月娥一起"攬炒"，事後才如夢初醒。
Let us look at the District Council Elections last year . They went down together with Carrie LAM and woke up to reality only afterwards
大家要留意，現時的臨時撥款有"魔鬼在細節"，供他們購置裝備。
Members should note that now the devil is in the details of the funds on account which allow them to procure equipment
那些裝甲車是用來震懾年青人、打香港人的，還要我們付錢讓他們打香港人嗎？
Those armoured personnel carriers are used to intimidate young people and attack Hong Kong people . Are they asking us to pay them to attack Hong Kong people?
她到了懲教署協助包口罩，又前去深水埗探訪"劏房戶"，離去時更被人追罵，落荒而逃。
She went to CSD to assist with packaging masks and visited residents living in a subdivided unit in Sham Shui Po . On leaving she was even hounded by people who lashed out at her and she had to flee the scene
整個政府毫不作為，一場武漢肺炎便看清它如何看待香港的老百姓。
The inaction of the entire Government towards the outbreak of Wuhan pneumonia has clearly demonstrated how it treats the general public in Hong Kong
作為政治人物，她在政治生涯的最尾聲，如果顧及特區政府及仍有意服務市民的公僕和高官等，她應該自行辭職下台。
As a political figure at the very end of her political career for the sake of the SAR Government and those civil servants and senior officials still wishing to serve the public she should resign and step down of her own accord
好人一生平安，壞人一生坎坷，我們且看看林鄭月娥何時坎坷。
May good people live a blessed life and evil doers a cursed life . Let us see when Carrie LAM will be condemned to it
主席，由於新型冠狀病毒疫情肆虐，口罩出現嚴重短缺。
President due to the rampant novel coronavirus epidemic face masks are in acute shortage
醫院管理局並非政府部門，其所使用的口罩由該局自行採購。
The Hospital Authority HA is not a government department and procures masks on their own
政府和醫管局採購的口罩會維持一定的儲備量，以備不時之需，但一般而言並不會直接供應給市民使用。
The Government and HA have maintained a stockpile of masks to meet contingency needs . However generally speaking the stock will not be directly supplied to the public
就物流署採購的口罩而言，為配合政府傳染病應變計劃，物流署恆常儲備1,000萬個口罩，而政府部門在平時的口 罩需求量平均為每月約110多萬個，儲備原應足夠支援政府部門半年以上的運作需要。
As far as masks procured by GLD are concerned GLD maintained a regular stock of 10 million masks by virtue of the Governments preparedness and response plans for infectious diseases . As the average monthly demand for masks by government departments was normally about 1.1 million before the outbreak the stock should have been sufficient to support the operational needs of government departments for more than half a year
隨着疫情發展，政府部門的口罩使用量倍增。
In light of the development concerning the disease the amount of masks used by government departments has multiplied
物流署加強採購之後，目前的口罩庫存粗略估計足夠政府各部門約兩個多月的運作需要。
Following GLDs stepping up of procurement efforts the current stock of masks is sufficient for the operational needs by various government departments for about more than two months based on the broad estimates
為理順政府內部的口罩使用量，政府已向部門首長發出內部指引，以供應給參與檢疫工作的前線人員，包括衞生署的醫護人員及港口衞生人員、執行檢疫令的前線人員，以及維持必要公共服務的前線人員為首要考慮，並要求部門盡量減低使用由政府分派的口罩的用量。部門會因應實際工作需要，為同事提供合適的防疫保護裝備。醫管局方面，在疫情發生前，其個人防護裝備的目標儲備量為3個月。
In order to rationalize the use of masks within the Government internal guidelines have been issued to Heads of Departments with a view to according priority to frontline staff participating in quarantine - related work execution of quarantine
主席，我問政府有否訂立口罩等抗疫物資的儲備機制，政府表示設有傳染病應變計劃，恆常儲備1000萬個口罩，政府部門平時的口罩需求量為每月約110萬個，儲備足夠政府部門使用半年以上。
President in reply to my question about whether the Government has established a mechanism for the reserve of anti - epidemic items such as face masks the Government indicated that it maintained a regular stock of 10 million masks by virtue of the response plans put in place for infectious diseases and as the monthly demand for masks by government departments was normally about 1.1 million before the outbreak the stock should have been sufficient for use by government departments for more than half a year
政府的答覆真是大言不慚。
The Government is indeed shameless in giving such a reply
任何有常識的人也知道，一旦疫症爆發，口罩的使用量會是平時的5倍甚至10倍以上。
Anyone with common sense knows that in the event of an outbreak the number of masks used will be five or even 10 times that in normal times
主席，局長剛才說，佩戴口罩只是我們需要做的一件事，還有洗手等其他很多事需要做，那麼我想問，局長現在戴着口罩做甚麼？
President the Secretary has said just now that wearing masks is only one of the things that we need to do and there are many other things we need to do such as washing hands . In that case may I ask the Secretary for what reason he is now wearing a mask?
為何我們的特首現在出來要戴口罩呢？
Why is our Chief Executive wearing a mask in public?
主席，其實林卓廷議員提出了許多很仔細的問題，並要求局長提供資料，但局長的答覆卻非常籠統，尤其是關於口罩供應的問題。
President Mr LAM Cheuk - ting has actually raised a number of detailed questions and requested the Secretary to provide information but the reply of the Secretary is very general particularly when he touches upon the supply of masks
主體答覆中第三部分提到，"物流署已接洽了世界各地超過600個供應商......至今已送達物流署的口罩超過1000萬個"。
According to part 3 of the main reply GLD has contacted more than 600 suppliers from all over the world over 10 million of the masks have been delivered to GLD
主席，究竟這1000萬個口罩是由何月何日至何月何日送達，還有多少個已訂購口罩未送達？
President from which date to which date were the 10 million masks delivered? . How many masks ordered have not been delivered?
此外，主席，究竟現時世界有哪幾個國家禁止口罩出口？
In addition President which countries across the world is now prohibiting the export of masks?
主席，有零售業人士反映，持續超過半年的反修例風波和近期的肺炎疫症重創零售業，生意額跌幅達三至七成。
President some members of the retail industry have relayed that the disturbances arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments persisting for more than half a year and the recent pneumonia epidemic have dealt a heavy blow to the retail industry bringing the business turnover down by 30 % to 70 %
不少商戶已經或準備結業，而繼續經營的商戶則需安排員工放無薪假期、不再補充流失人手，甚至裁員，以減省成本。
Quite a number of shop operators have closed down or are prepared to close down their businesses whilst those who continue their businesses have to arrange their staff to take no pay leave stop providing replacement for staff members who have left or even lay off staff in order to reduce costs
有店員向本人反映，其每月總收入由以往的三、四萬元大減至約一萬元，生計大受影響。
Some shopkeepers have relayed to me that their total monthly income has reduced significantly from 30,000 to 40,000 in the past to around 10,000 which has gravely affected their livelihood
需供養子女或支付按揭還款的員工更為拮据。
Employees who need to raise children or make mortgage repayments are in greater financial straits
我們自去年8月開始共推出4輪涉及超過300億元的紓困措施，並再於上月另外推出300億元的防疫抗疫基金，支援受疫情影響的企業和市民；2月公布的財政預算案亦推出超過1,200億元的逆周期措施，務求 達致財政司司長在預算案中所說的"撐企業、保就業、振經濟、紓民困"。
We have since last August implemented four rounds of relief measures amounting to more than 30 billion and have further rolled out the Anti - epidemic Fund of 30 billion last month to support enterprises and the general public affected by the epidemic . As mentioned by the Financial Secretary in the Budget to support enterprises safeguard jobs stimulate the economy and relieve peoples burden the Budget announced in February also launched more than 120 billion of counter - cyclical measures
就議員的質詢，在諮詢財經事務及庫務局後，我謹答覆如下： 一 政府知道中小型企業面對的其中一個最大困難是資金周轉，因此早於去年9月在中小企融資擔保計劃下推出最多12個月"還息不還本"的安排。
Having consulted the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau my reply to the Honourable Members question is as follows 1 The Government acknowledges that liquidity is one of the biggest difficulties faced by small and medium enterprises SMEs . Therefore we have since last September introduced an arrangement of principal moratorium for up to 12 months under the SME Financing Guarantee Scheme SFGS
我們亦於12月在計劃下推出新"九成信貸擔保產品"，以協助規模較小和經營經驗尚淺的企業，以及有意獨立執業的專業人士取得商業貸款，業界反應正面，香港按證保險有限公司至上月底已批出319宗申請，涉及總貸款額超過5億2,800萬元。
We further introduced in December the new 90 % Guarantee Product under SFGS to help smaller - sized enterprises and businesses with relatively less operating experience as well as professionals seeking to set up their own practices to obtain commercial loans . Response from the trade on these schemes has been positive . Up to the end of last month the HKMC Insurance Limited HKMCI has approved 319 applications involving a total loan amount of 528 million
面對冠狀病毒病疫情，我們認為有迫切需要進一步紓緩中小企的經營壓力，從而減少企業倒閉或裁員。
With the COVID - 19 infections there is an urgent need to further alleviate the pressure on SMEs in business operations thereby reducing business closures and layoffs
財政司司長在預算案中宣布在中小企融資擔保計劃下推出由政府作100%擔保的特惠低息貸款，適用於各行各業的中小企，最高貸款額為企業6個月的薪酬及租金開支，上限200萬元；還款期長達3年，可選擇首6個月還息不還本；貸款利率會訂於較低水平，即最優惠利率減2.5%，擔保費全免。
The Financial Secretary announced in the Budget the introduction of a concessionary low - interest loan under SFGS applicable to SMEs in all sectors for which the Government will provide 100 % guarantee . The maximum amount of the loan is the total amount of wages and rents for six months of the enterprise or 2 million at most . The maximum repayment period is three years with an optional principal moratorium for the first six months
政府會為批出貸款提供最多200億元的信貸保證。
The guarantee fee will be waived . The Government will provide a maximum loan guarantee of 20 billion for approved loans
我剛於昨日就建議徵詢立法會工商事務委員會，並感謝事務委員會的支持，且即將向財務委員會申請撥款，以期在撥款通過後約1個月推出新產品。
I just consulted the Panel on Commerce and Industry of the Legislative Council yesterday and am grateful for its support . We will soon seek the Finance Committees approval for funding with a view to rolling out the new product around one month after the funding approval
另一方面，香港金融管理局已要求銀行在其信貸政策和風險管理原則許可下，盡力支持中小企的融資需要。
On the other hand the Hong Kong Monetary Authority HKMA has requested banks to provide funding support to SMEs as far as their credit policies and risk management principles allow
金管局設立了銀行業中小企貸款協調機制，並舉行多次會議，與會代表包括香港銀行公會、活躍於中小企融資業務的主要銀行，以及按證保險公司。
HKMA has established a banking sector SME lending coordination mechanism through which representatives of the Hong Kong Association of Banks major banks active in SME lending and HKMCI have met several times
與會銀行同意採取一系列措施，例如透過延遲還本或延長還款期等安排，減輕中小企現金流壓力；推出針對個別行業的紓緩措施，讓客戶可以更靈活調配資金；以及對遇到財困的中小企客戶抱支持態度，加強溝通，不貿然撤貸或採取其他影響客戶業務運作的信貸行動等。
Banks attending the meetings agreed to adopt a series of measures such as offering principal moratoriums and extension of loan tenors for SMEs so as to relieve their cash flow pressure; introducing relief measures targeting specific sectors to allow clients to use their funds more flexibly; and treating SMEs encountering financial difficulties with sympathy and enhanced communication and avoiding withdrawing credit lines hastily or taking other credit actions that will adversely affect clients business operations
屯馬綫一期開通至今時間尚短，我們會繼續觀察客流的變化，尤其由新界東往返港島東及東九龍的乘客的乘車模式。
In view of the short operation period of TML1 since its commissioning we will continue to observe the change of the travelling patterns of passengers in particular the travelling mode of the passengers plying between New Territories East and Hong Kong Island East or East Kowloon
加上近期疫情亦影響市民出行習慣，我們需要一段時間才可以看到較穩定的分流效果。
In addition as the passengers travelling patterns have been affected by the recent novel coronavirus outbreak we need more time to identify if there is a more stable diversion effect
運輸署及香港鐵路有限公司會繼續密切留意通車後乘客分流的情況。
The Transport Department and the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL will continue to closely monitor the diversion effect upon the commissioning of TML1
此外，港鐵公司會繼續透過實施不同措施，包括在繁忙時段盡量加插短途班次行走繁忙車站、改善車站設施、車站月台管理等，以確保觀塘綫各車站的車務運作維持暢順。
Furthermore MTRCL will continue to maintain smooth operations of the stations along Kwun Tung Line by adopting various measures including introducing short trips for busy stations as far as possible during peak hours; improving station facilities and platform management etc
至於劉議員關注的西鐵綫，為配合將來屯馬綫開通，所有西鐵綫的7卡列車及馬鞍山綫的4卡列車已提前全面提升及改裝至8卡列車，令整體載客能力及早提升。
Regarding the concern of Mr Kenneth LAU about West Rail Line WRL in preparation for the commissioning of Tuen Ma Line TML in the future all 7 - car trains in WRL and 4 - car trains in MOSL were upgraded and converted to 8 - car trains in advance to enhance overall passenger carrying capacity
港鐵公司會一直留意各車站的乘客量和設施的使用情況，透過實施各種客流管理措施，確保車務運作及車站人流暢順，並會不時作出檢討。
MTRCL has been monitoring the patronage and the usage of facilities in various stations and will adopt various patronage management measures to ensure smooth train operations and passenger flow . These measures will be reviewed from time to time
二 過去數月的大型公眾活動期間，部分屯馬綫一期的車站設施受到不同程度的破壞，包括車站出入口的玻璃破損及車站外牆被塗污等。
2 In view of the large - scale public order events over the last few months some of the TML1 station facilities have been damaged in varying degree including the damage to the glazing at the station entrances and graffiti on the walls outside the stations
為保障公眾安全，受損的車站設施現已用防火面板圍封。
To safeguard public safety the damaged station facilities have been fenced off with fire - proof hoarding
因應現時情況，新車站已實施臨時保護措施，包括強化及保護新車站出入口。
In light of the current situation new stations have been protected by temporary installations including strengthening and protective measures at new station entrances
屯馬綫一期已於2月14日順利投入服務，政府及港鐵公司會繼續密切留意情況，盡力確保屯馬綫一期通車後的運作順暢及安全，同時保障乘客及港鐵公司職員的安全。
Further to the smooth commissioning of TML1 on 14 February the Government and MTRCL will continue to closely monitor the situation endeavour to ensure the safety and smooth operation after the commissioning of TML1 and safeguard the safety of the passengers and members of the staff of MTRCL
三 由於2018年5月紅磡站擴建工程出現質量問題及連串事件，有需要進行相關調查工作及建議的適當措施，港鐵公司估計"大圍至紅磡段"的通車目標需延至2021年年底或之前。
3 Due to the quality issue of works of the Hung Hom Station Extension revealed in May 2018 and the spate of incidents there was a need to conduct relevant investigations and propose suitable measures . MTRCL assessed that the target commissioning date of Tai Wai to Hung Hom Section should be at most deferred to the end of 2021
至於沙田至中環綫的"南北走廊"，自2019年10月起，東鐵綫的設施多次受到破壞而需要維修，導致原本預留在晚間非服務時間進行的工程被迫取消，港鐵公司因此估計"紅磡至金鐘段"需延至2022年第一季才能通車。
As regards North South Corridor of the Shatin to Central Link SCL since October 2019 there had been multiple damages to the EAL facilities necessitating maintenance and cancellation of works originally planned during non - traffic hours at night . Therefore MTRCL considered that the commissioning date for Hung Hom to Admiralty Section had to be deferred to the first quarter of 2022
此外，由於東鐵綫大學站及其鄰近鐵路設施在去年年底遭到嚴重破壞，加上近期新冠肺炎疫情對工程進度的影響，路政署正與港鐵公司檢視沙中綫"南北走廊"的施工時間表，探討加快部分關鍵工序的可行性。
In addition due to serious damages to the facilities at the University Station of EAL and adjacent railway section at the end of last year and the impact of the recent novel coronavirus outbreak on the works progress the Highways Department HyD and MTRCL are reviewing the construction schedule of the North South Corridor and exploring the feasibility of accelerating key activities
路政署聯同其監核顧問已完成檢視屯馬綫沿線的大圍站、顯徑站、鑽石山站、啟德站、宋皇臺站及土瓜灣站的監督紀錄，以確認其主要結構工程的質量。
HyD and its monitoring and verification consultant completed the review of supervision records for Tai Wai Station Hin Keng Station Diamond Hill Station Kai Tak Station Sung Wong Toi Station and To Kwa Wan Station along TML to confirm the works quality of the major structure
該署亦已實施多項確保質量及進度的措施，包括安排每月到工地巡查及進行突擊檢查，以及抽樣監察港鐵公司進行工程的進展、工序及質量。
HyD also implemented measures to assure works quality and progress including arranging monthly site inspections conducting surprise checks and engaging audit sampling for the progress procedures and quality of the works by MTRCL
政府亦會就每條新線進行嚴謹的驗收工作，例如屯馬綫一期，自去年10月底開始已進行測試、驗收和檢查，並獲機電工程署確認有關建設已達至安全和良好的狀態後，才於2月14日順利投入服務。
The Government also conducted stringent acceptance work for each new railway line . For example TML1 was commissioned smoothly on 14 February after conducting trials acceptance tests and inspections since the end of October 2019 and the concerned railway facilities were confirmed as safe and in sound condition by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department
主席，多謝劉議員提出補充質詢。
President my thanks go to Mr LAU for his supplementary question
我們在早前的鐵路事宜小組委員會會議，以至剛才的工務小組委員會會議上，均已向各位議員作詳細解釋。
We have given a detailed explanation to Honourable Members during the meeting of the Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways which was held at an earlier time as well as the meeting of the Public Works Subcommittee held just now
我們會盡一切努力，加快推展有關工作。
We will make every effort to expedite the relevant work
我明白這個情況，如果主席不反對的話，我願意回答石議員的補充質詢。
I understand this case . If the President has no objection I am willing to answer Mr SHEKs supplementary question
現時新冠肺炎疫症肆虐，與民共渡時艱是政府一直採取的措施。
Amid the raging novel coronavirus outbreak the Government has been adopting the measure of standing together with the people to ride out the difficult times
我剛才說，關於沙中綫已建成的車站及已完工的擴建部分，檢討工作已經完成。
Just now I have said that the review of the completed stations and completed extensions of SCL has been finished
港鐵公司的票價釐定機制一直存在不公平之處，港鐵公司和政府過往會推諉說問題源於歷史因素，但在沙中綫及屯馬綫開通後，相信這歷史需要改寫，因為沙中綫令東鐵綫可以過海，而屯馬綫則令新界東及新界西聯通。
Unfairness has all along been observed in MTRCLs fare determination mechanism . In the past MTRCL and the Government would argue with the excuse that the problem originated from some historical factors . However I believe such an history has to be rewritten after the commissioning of SCL and TML as SCL makes it possible for us to cross the harbour by riding on EAL whereas TML links up New Territories East and New Territories West
隨着這兩條路線的工程推進，以及預計可於一兩年內開通，我認為局長或港鐵公司是時候討論釐定票價的問題。
With the progress of these two lines and their expected commissioning within one to two years I think it is time for the Secretary or MTRCL to discuss the issue of fare determination
我手上有一份圖表我過往亦曾給局長看過乘搭東鐵綫由上水到紅磡的票價是10.8元，但由屯門到紅磡則要支付22.3元。
I have in my hands a chart―which I have also shown to the Secretary before―The fare from Sheung Shui to Hung Hom on EAL is 10.8 but it costs 22.3 to get to Hung Hom from Tuen Mun
就東鐵綫及西鐵綫的票價，雖然路程和時間相若，車費卻相差1倍，這種釐定票價的方式是何其荒謬和不合理！
Regarding the fares of EAL and WRL the latter is doubled although the distance and time involved are more or less the same . How ridiculous and unreasonable is the way adopted for determining the fares!
沙中綫作為策略性鐵路發展項目，確實是聯通東西和南北，通車後會大大方便市民出行。
Being a strategic railway development project SCL indeed serves a link between east and west as well as north and south which will bring great convenience to members of the public when getting around upon its commissioning
東鐵綫的收費有其歷史原因，如果大家有留意到，很多鐵路線跨境前其實沒有站點，東鐵綫則屬例外，設有羅湖 站及落馬洲站。
The fares of EAL are the results of some historical reasons . If you have paid attention there are actually no stations before crossing the border in many railway lines but EAL is an exception with the presence of Lo Wu Station and Lok Ma Chau Station
我亦明白到，當沙中綫全線開通後，西鐵綫、東鐵綫以至全港很多鐵路點均會出現聯通效應。
I also understand that an interconnecting effect will be achieved among WRL EAL and many places served by railway lines in Hong Kong upon the full commissioning of SCL
我相信港鐵公司屆時亦會在整體按照鐵路路段距離收費的原則下作出檢討。
I believe that MTRCL will also conduct a review at that time having regard to the overall principle of charging fares according to the distance of rail sections
我相信這個問題有其歷史背景，背後亦有實際原因，當然，我們亦會不時檢討香港整個鐵路系統日後的運作情況。
I believe this issue has its historical background and there are also practical reasons behind it . Certainly we will also review from time to time the future operation of the entire railway system in Hong Kong
我想指出，預算案的措施可以分拆處理，但政府沒有這樣處理。
I want to point out that proposals in the Budget can be dealt with separately but the Government did not do it
這種渾水摸魚、製造財政黑洞的做法，究竟是財政司司長還是特首的指示呢？
Is the practice of fishing in troubled waters and creating fiscal black holes the instruction of the Financial Secretary or the Chief Executive?
第二個財政黑洞是部分臨時撥款不能夠使用的問題，這同樣是以上問題的延伸。
The second fiscal black hole concerns the problem that part of the funds on account may not be used and this likewise derives from the above mentioned problem
因此，局長發言說要2,158億元，其實是誤導公眾，因為很多撥款的使用是有條件的。
For this reason it is actually misleading for the Secretary to claim that 215.8 billion is required as the use of funding allocated under many items are conditional
第三，撥款方程式沒有政策原因，只要加上司長的權力，便可以處理得到。
Third funding formulas devoid of any policy intentions can be put in place as long as the Financial Secretary exercises his power
其實，政府決議案多年來也沒有清楚向議員交代，不同撥款方程式背後的原因。
In fact government resolutions over the years have all failed to clearly explain to Members the rationale behind the various funding formulas
就一些非經常性開支，申請的臨時撥款額為預算案所示備付款額的100%，但"不定期"和"數筆過"這兩個原因是否取得100%臨時撥款的理據呢？
As for certain non - recurrent expenditure items 100 % of their provisions as shown in the Budget is sought but are the two factors of irregular and lumpy nature the rationale for seeking 100 % of their provisions?
如果這兩個月內便須處理，政府便要好好交代，因為這是另一種迴避議員審理有關財務建議的方法。
If they must be dealt with within these two months the Government needs to give us a proper explanation for this is another way to escape Members scrutiny of the funding proposals concerned
最後一個財政黑洞是決議案的最後一句留下一條很長的尾巴，讓財政司司長可以隨時更改任何開支分目下的臨時撥款額。
The last fiscal black hole is the ample leeway provided for the Financial Secretary in the last sentence of the Resolution to make changes to the amount of funds on account under any subhead at any time
我們明白，政府很多時候需要彈性，應付突發事件，但當公眾對政府的信任度較低時，決議案賦予司長這項權力，便須有詳細的規範，規範財政司司長運用這項權力時，須獲得立法會同意。
We understand that very often the Government needs flexibility to deal with contingencies but given a low level of public trust in the Government the vesting of such power in the Financial Secretary under the Resolution must be subject to specific restrictions such that the Financial Secretary will be required to seek the endorsement of the Legislative Council for exercising such power
我說了很多關於臨時撥款決議案的問題，接着我要談談我削減行政長官辦公室臨時撥款的建議。
I have said a lot on the problems with the Vote on Account Resolution and next I will talk about my proposal on cutting the funds on account for the Chief Executives Office
