我們亦藉此機會重新擬訂附表5第9條，就有關交還骨灰的法院命令另訂條文。
We will also take this opportunity to restructure section 9 of Schedule 5 to set out the provisions regarding a court order for the return of ashes separately
另外，政府及議員對附表5第62及95條均有提出修正案，這些修正案將會在下一輪辯論才作詳細討論，故我會留待稍後再闡述有關的政府修正案。
Furthermore the Government and Members have proposed amendments to sections 62 and 95 of Schedule 5 . Since these amendments will not be discussed in detail until the next debate I will elaborate on the relevant amendments proposed by the Government later on
主席，有關修正案均已提交法案委員會考慮及討論，委員對我們提出的修正案並無異議。
Chairman the relevant amendments were submitted to the Bills Committee for consideration and discussion . No objection was raised to our proposed amendments by members of the Bills Committee
我希望各位委員支持有關修正案。
I hope Members can support the relevant amendments
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：食物及衞生局局長動議的修正案，予以通過。
I now put the question to you and that is That the amendments moved by the Secretary for Food and Health be passed
主席，我動議講稿附錄我的第一組修正案，以進一步修正附表5。
Chairman I move the first group of my amendments as set out in the Appendix to the Script to further amend Schedule 5
稍後我亦會另行動議講稿附錄我的第二組修正案，再進一步修正附表5，而由於第一組修正案與第二組修正案有關，我會藉現在的機會一併闡述。
Later on I will move the second group of my amendments as set out in the Appendix to the Script to further amend Schedule 5 . As the first group of amendments is related to the second group I will take this opportunity to elaborate both groups of amendments together
《條例草案》規定，如有骨灰安置所因各種原因而結業，有關營辦者有責任並須按照條例下的訂明骨灰處置程序，妥善處理受影響的骨灰。
The Bill provides that if a columbarium ceases operation for any reasons the operator concerned has the responsibility to and must properly handle the ashes affected pursuant to the prescribed ash disposal procedures under the legislation
儘管已有上述的安排，政府亦願意向前多走一步，提出修正案以進一步利便一些相關人士就交還骨灰提出申索。
Despite the aforementioned arrangements the Government is prepared to take one more step forward by proposing amendments to further facilitate related persons in claiming the return of ashes
a 有關附表5第62條的修正案 在政府提出的修正案方面，我們提出的修正案建議加入"相關人士"為"訂明申索人"的新增類別。
a Amendments in relation to section 62 of Schedule 5 The amendments proposed by the Government seek to add related person as an additional category of prescribed claimant
根據有關修正案，"相關人士"就某死者而言，是指符合以下說明的人： i 在緊接該死者逝世的日期前，與該死者在同一住戶內生活；及 在該日期前，與該死者在同一住戶內已生活最少兩年； 因應這些修正案，不同的"相關人士"只要符合上述曾一同生活最少兩年的規定，便可就交還死者的骨灰提出申索。
According to the amendments in relation to a deceased person a related person means a person who i was living with the deceased person in the same household immediately before the date of the death of the deceased person; and ii had been living with the deceased person in the same household for at least two years before that date; In the light of these amendments related person of various types may claim the return of ashes as long as they meet the aforementioned requirement of having lived with the deceased in the same household for at least two years
這讓"相關人士"即使不屬於原有"訂明申索人"的類別，亦有機會可就交還死者的骨灰提出申索。
This allows a related person who does not belong to any category of prescribed claimant the possibility to claim the return of ashes of the deceased
至於議員提出的修正案，我們留意到陳志全議員提出了修正案，建議把有關最少所需同住年期，由政府建議的兩年縮減至一年。
As for the amendments proposed by Members we have noticed that Mr CHAN Chi - chuen proposes to reduce the minimum duration of cohabitation from two years as proposed by the Government to one year
我們不同意陳議員的建議。
We do not agree with Mr CHANs proposal
在為"相關人士"下定義時，我們已參考其他現行法例，包括《致命意外條例》和《法律修訂及改革條例》，這兩項法例均是以兩年作為最少所需同住年期。
When defining related person we have drawn reference from other existing legislation including the Fatal Accidents Ordinance Cap . 22 and the Law Amendment and Reform Ordinance Cap . 23 which both prescribe two years as the minimum duration of cohabitation required
畢竟，訂定一個最少所需同住年期是必要的，而我們認為兩年是一個合理的要求。
After all it is necessary to set a minimum duration of cohabitation and we believe the requirement of two years is reasonable
再者，有關年期的訂定，其實亦已經在法案委員會作了充分討論，而法案委員會亦支持政府的建議。
Moreover the duration concerned has been thoroughly discussed in the Bills Committee which supports the Governments proposal
另一方面，朱凱廸議員和張超雄議員分別就有關同性伴侶的申索提出了修正案。
On the other hand Mr CHU Hoi - dick and Dr Fernando CHEUNG have proposed amendments respectively in relation to claims by same - sex partners
概括而言，朱議員建議把在外地締結的同性伴侶加入"相關人士"的定義當中，而張議員則建議把在外地締結的同性伴侶加入"親屬"的定義當中。
In gist Mr CHU proposes to include same - sex partnership contracted outside Hong Kong in the definition of related person while Dr CHEUNG proposes to include same - sex partnership contracted outside Hong Kong in the definition of relative
兩名議員的修正案旨在透過《條例草案》承認在外地締結的同性伴侶的身份，在社會上會引起比較大的爭議。
The amendments of these two Members seek to recognize same - sex partnerships contracted outside Hong Kong through the Bill which will cause a relatively stronger controversy in society
政府反對這兩項修正案。
The Government opposes these two amendments
我認為《條例草案》的現有條文，連同剛才我所闡述的政府修正案，應足以利便交還骨灰予"相關人士"。
I consider the existing provisions in the Bill together with the amendments proposed by the Government should be sufficient to facilitate a related person in claiming the return of ashes
兩名議員的修正案，主要關乎異性伴侶和同性伴侶在法律面前平等的議題。有關議題應透過合適的平台討論，而非透過本《條例草案》處理。
The amendments proposed by the two Members involve equality before the law between couples of the opposite sex and of the same sex which should be discussed on an appropriate platform instead of being handled through the Bill
陳志全議員曾於今年5月，在不同場合問及政府有否因應高等法院較早前就公務員的同性已婚伴侶的配偶福利司法覆核案的裁決，重新審視政府對《條例草案》中有關修正案的立場。
Mr CHAN Chi - chuen had asked on various occasions in May this year whether the Government would review its position on relevant amendments to the Bill in the light of the High Courts ruling earlier on a judicial review case concerning the welfare of same - sex married partners of civil servants
就是次法庭的裁決，我們已向相關的政策局及律政司了解，公務員事務局表示會聯同律政司詳細研究判詞，再作出適當的跟進。
With regard to this court ruling we have sought information from relevant Policy Bureaux and the Department of Justice . The Civil Service Bureau indicated that it would study the details of the judgment with the Department of Justice and take appropriate follow - up actions
我們會繼續密切留意事態的最新發展，並研究有關發展對《條例草案》的影響。
We will closely monitor the development of the situation and study its impact on the Bill
但無論如何，政府提出的修正案是性別中立的，是一個較富彈性的做法。
In any case the amendments proposed by the Government are gender - neutral and more flexible
因此，政府維持就《條例草案》建議的修正案合情合理，並反對上述各位議員的修正案。
Hence the Government maintains the view that its amendments are fair and reasonable and opposes the aforementioned amendments proposed by Members
這已反映在政府對附表5第95條作出的修訂。
This proposition is accordingly reflected in section 95 of Schedule 5
而議員提出的修正案方面，陳志全議員、朱凱廸議員及梁國雄議員分別提出了修正案，建議把"相關人士"的申索優先權提升至與獲授權代表、遺產代理人或親屬的申索同等。
As for the amendments proposed by Members Mr CHAN Chi - chuen Mr CHU Hoi - dick and Mr LEUNG Kwok - hung have respectively proposed amendments seeking to escalate the priority of claims of a related person to the same level as that of an authorized representative and a personal representative or relative
我們不同意有關的修正案。
We do not agree with the amendments
我們需要明白，"相關人士"所涵蓋的範圍非常廣闊，在決定"相關人士"的申索優先權時，我們需要取得一個平衡，以免在社會引起極大的爭議。
We should understand that related person covers an extensive scope hence in deciding the priority of claim of a related person a balance must be struck to pre - empt any controversy in society
假如3位議員建議的修正案獲得通過，而有"相關人士"和死者的家人同時就交還某死者的骨灰提出申索，這難免會引起爭端，亦會使骨灰處理者面對一個十分為難的決定。
If the amendments proposed by the three Members are passed and the related person and family members of the deceased claim the return of ashes at the same time disputes will become inevitable and the ash handler will be placed in a difficult position
我們認為，現時政府建議"相關人士"的申索優先權的定位，已在"相關人士"和死者親人的期望之間取得了合理的平衡。
We believe the priority of claim of related person as proposed by the Government has already struck a balance between the expectations of the related person and family members of the deceased
主席，政府建議的修正案已提交法案委員會考慮及討論，並獲得法案委員會支持。
Chairman the amendments proposed by the Government have been submitted to the Bills Committee for consideration and discussion and received the support of the Bills Committee
我促請各位委員支持政府的修正案，並反對陳志全議員、朱凱廸議員、張超雄議員及梁國雄議員的修正案。
I urge Members to support the amendments proposed by the Government and oppose those proposed by Mr CHAN Chi - chuen Mr CHU Hoi - dick Dr Fernando CHEUNG and Mr LEUNG Kwok - hung
有深水埗居民表示，越來越多由南亞裔人士干犯的刑事罪行，令該區治安問題惡化，他們因此擔憂人身安全。
Some residents of the SSP District have expressed worries about their personal safety due to the increasing number of criminal offences committed by people of South Asian descent which has rendered the law and order situation in the SSP District deteriorating
代理主席，有謂"遠水不能救近火"，局長的答覆肯定了現時"假難民"有日增趨勢，資源問題是其次，最重要是他們每年涉及千多宗案件，影響治安。
Deputy President as the saying goes distant water cannot put out a nearby fire . The reply of the Secretary confirmed that there has been a rising trend in the number of bogus refugees . The resources issue aside most importantly they are involved in more than a thousand cases each year hence affecting law and order
居民很擔心這些區份或香港其他類似的區份，會變成好像當年九龍寨城三不管地區的前身，說當局縱容、不敢正視，因而每天都出現如此恐怖的新聞及治安的問題，請局長回應有否具體辦法改善"假難民"聚居帶來治安困擾？
The residents are worried that these areas or other similar areas in Hong Kong will become something similar to the previous Kowloon Walled City no - mans land . They believe such terrible news and security problems are happening daily because the authorities have turned a blind eye to the situation . Will the Secretary tell us whether there are specific ways to ameliorate the security concerns brought forth by the settlement of bogus refugees?
代理主席，雖然政府現時非常努力，希望盡早把在香港非法居留的人士遣返原居地，但有謂"野草燒不盡，春風吹又生"，當局現時願意重開收容中心羈留非法入境者，方向正確。
Deputy President despite the Governments efforts to repatriate illegal immigrants to their place of origin as early as possible the problem will continue to reappear . The authorities are moving in the right direction in being prepared to recommission detention centres for illegal immigrants
再加上聯合國《世界人權宣言》第十四條二指出，"在真正由於非政治性的罪行或違背聯合國的宗旨和原則的行為而被起訴的情況下，不得援用此種權利。
On top of that Article 142 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations states that This right may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non - political crimes or from acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations
局長在主體答覆中列出過去兩年被捕的非華裔人士的數字和比例，我留意到當中所謂獲擔保的非華裔人士，所指的應該大部分是免遣返聲請人，其比例相對較小，佔被捕非華裔人士約四分之一至三分之一。
The Secretary listed the number and ratio of non - ethnic Chinese persons arrested in the past two years in his main reply . I have noticed that the so - called non - ethnic Chinese persons on recognizance meaning mostly non - refoulement claimants accounted for only one fourth to one third of the total number of non - ethnic Chinese persons arrested . The ratio is relatively low
本會就這項質詢已用了超過22分鐘，未能提出補充質詢的議員請在其他場合跟進。
We have spent more than 22 minutes on this question Members who could not raise supplementary question may follow up on other occasions
主席，競爭事務委員會較早前公布《香港車用燃油市場研究報告》，指出未有確實證據證明油公司作出合謀定價的反競爭行為，但香港的車用燃油市場有多個十分罕見的特徵，削弱了市場的有效競爭。
President the Competition Commission has earlier on released a Report on Study into Hong Kongs Auto - fuel Market the Report which points out that while there is no hard evidence of oil companies engaging in the anti - competitive conduct of collusive price - fixing the auto - fuel market in Hong Kong has a number of highly unusual features that have undermined the effectiveness of competition in the market
該等特徵包括：只出售單一辛烷值而價格較高的汽油、提供折扣優惠的方式既複雜又缺乏透明度，以及進入市場和擴充業務的門檻高。
Those features include the sale of petrol of only one single octane number which are more expensive the offer of discounts in a complex and opaque manner and the high barriers to market entry and expansion
主席，競委會表示基於其現有權力，未能向油公司索取更多資料，並且表示該會的資源和人手有限，所以無法證明油公司有合謀定價的行為。
President the Commission indicated that it had failed to obtain more information from oil companies due to its existing powers . It also indicated that it could not prove that oil companies had engaged in collusive price - fixing due to its limited resources and manpower
這在在顯示競委會權力有限，因此未能達到預期效果。
All this illustrates that due to its limited powers the Commission cannot achieve its desired results
請問當局會否檢討競委會現時是否有足夠權力，而且會否增撥資源，使競委會能夠真正達到"打大老虎"的目的？如會，詳情為何；如否，原因為何？
Will the authorities review whether the Commission has adequate powers and will additional resources be allocated to the Commission to enable it to really achieve the purpose of cracking down on tigers; if so of the details; if not the reasons for that?
根據現行法例，雖然競委員在進行市場研究階段，並沒有權向油公司索取有關資料和文件，但如果有合理理由懷疑反競爭行為曾經發生、正在發生或即將發生，競委會可要求油公司提供有關文件和資料。
Under the existing law although the Commission has no power to obtain the relevant information and documents from oil companies while conducting market studies it may request oil companies to do so if it has reasonable cause to suspect that anti - competitive conduct has taken place is taking place or is about to take place
《條例》第41條所賦予的權力，是立法會經過討論後賦予競委會的權力，可指定何時或以甚麼方式提交這些資料。
The power under section 41 of the Ordinance is conferred on the Commission following discussions in the Legislative Council . The Commission may specify the time and the manner in which any information is to be provided
主席，如果競委會......
President if the Commission
如果競委會有合理理由，懷疑反競爭行為曾經發生、正在發生或即將發生，可以進行調查，而在調查過程中，競委會可要求提供相關文件和資料。
If the Commission has reasonable cause to suspect that anti - competitive conduct has taken place is taking place or is about to take place it may conduct an investigation . In the course of conducting an investigation the Commission may request that the relevant documents and information be provided
如果梁議員在這方面能夠提供證據，競委會便可以考慮是否有合理理由，展開有關工作。
If Mr LEUNG can provide evidence on this the Commission may have reasonable cause to commence relevant work immediately
如果投訴涉及合謀定價，是否已經裁定這些投訴不成立呢？
Are those complaints alleging collusive price - fixing already found to be unsubstantiated?
那麼，日後對油公司提出的投訴，是否只局限於合謀定價以外的其他投訴呢？
In that case will complaints lodged against oil companies in the future be limited to complaints other than collusive price - fixing only?
此外，剛才有一位議員好像是譚文豪議員提及香港引入了一些中資油公司。
Furthermore a Member―I guess it is Mr Jeremy TAM―just mentioned the introduction of some China - affiliated oil companies into Hong Kong
合謀定價是"第一行為守則"裏其中一項反競爭行為。
Collusive price - fixing is one of the anti - competitive practices under the first conduct rule
主席，我想發言表達香港工會聯合會對各項修正案的立場。
Chairman I would like to state the position of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions FTU on the various amendments
因為這項《條例草案》遲一天通過，便代表那些非法私營龕場可以多經營一天，甚或令更多市民受害。
For if the passage of the Bill is delayed for one more day it will allow private columbaria to operate for one more day and it may cause more people to suffer
數位同事提出的修正案的內容均提及同性伴侶的地位，我們明白也認同同性伴侶應有資格領取去世伴侶的骨灰。
As for the amendments proposed by the several colleagues the status of same - sex partners is mentioned . We understand and agree that same - sex partners should be eligible to claim the ashes of their deceased partners
其實，早於上屆立法會審議《條例草案》時，已有同事提出相關的意見。
In fact as early as the Bill was scrutinized by the previous Legislative Council colleagues had put forth similar views
當時，前議員何秀蘭提出了修正案，要求修改親屬的定義，令同性伴侶可享有領取另一半的骨灰的權利。
Back then the former Member of the Legislative Council Cyd HO had put forth the amendment to change the definition of relative so that same - sex partners might be given the right to claim the ashes of their deceased partners
不過，我們今次重新審議《條例草案》時，便發現政府比上一屆進步，在"訂明申索人"的定義中加入了"相關人士"的類別，而"相關人士"的定義則為與死者在去世前共同生活了兩年的人。
When we scrutinized the Bill afresh this time around we noticed that the Government has made improvement to the Bill by adding related person as a category of prescribed claimant where a related person is defined as a person who had been living in the same household with the deceased for two years
對於有同事把同性伴侶或同性婚姻人士加入"親屬"的定義中，我們不能夠支持。
Regarding the proposal of colleagues for including same - sex partners or parties of same - sex marriage in the definition of relative we cannot support it
正如我剛才所說，今天的許多爭拗均源於大家對同性婚姻這項議題的想法或看法。
As I said earlier the many disputes today arise from the views or opinions of Members on the subject of same - sex marriage
在這方面，工聯會的立場很清晰，我們認為同性戀人士不應受到任何形式的歧視，包括在職場上，他們不應因為性取向而受到任何形式的歧視。
In this connection the position of FTU is very clear . We consider that homosexuals should not be subject to any form of discrimination including at work and they should not be subject to any form of discrimination due to their sexual orientations
可是，由於同性婚姻對我們的社會有深遠影響，我們認為暫時不應就此立法。
But since same - sex marriage will have far - reaching implications on society we think it is inappropriate to legislate for this for the time being
然而，我們仍要保障他們的權利，我們認為政府是次就"相關人士"提出的修正案已可保障他們的權利。
Yet we have to protect their rights . We consider that the amendment on related person proposed by the Government this time around can protect their rights
因為這不單會影響死者的同性伴侶，正如我所提及，異性伴侶也同樣會受影響。
As I mentioned earlier this requirement will not only affect same - sex partners but also opposite - sex partners
我們解釋了我們對這些修正案的看法，並希望這項《條例草案》可盡快獲得通過，令市民的權益受到保障。
This is an account of our views on the amendments and we hope that the Bill will be passed as soon as possible to protect the rights of the public
主席，根據法例，任何人進入邊境禁區，須持有警方發出的禁區許可證，而沙頭角墟現屬邊境禁區的範圍。
President under the law any person who enters a frontier closed area FCA must hold a closed area permit CAP issued by the Police and Sha Tau Kok Town is now covered by FCA
有當地居民及商戶向本人反映，禁區紙規定既擾民亦窒礙當地的經濟發展，令他們如"死囚"一樣看不到前景。
Some residents and traders in the area have relayed to me that the CAP requirement not only causes nuisance to the residents concerned but also hinders economic development there leaving them not being able to see any future like prisoners on death row
他們因此促請當局逐步或全面把沙頭角墟剔出邊境禁區範圍。
They therefore urge the authorities to excise Sha Tau Kok Town from FCA gradually or completely
主席，我也很贊同劉業強議員提出盡快進一步開放沙頭角禁區的建議。
President I very much agree to Mr Kenneth LAUs proposal for further opening up the Sha Tau Kok Closed Area
我相信很多香港人甚至遊客也很想前往該處遠足、遊覽鴨洲或乘船欣賞景色。
I believe many Hongkongers and even tourists would love to go there for hiking and visiting Ap Chau or taking a boat trip for sightseeing
主席，第二次世界大戰後，我們其實並無邊境控制，人們可以自由往來。
President after World War II there is actually no border control and people can come and go freely
其實，沒有天然的屏障並非很大的保安問題。
As a matter of fact the absence of a natural barrier is not a major security issue
如果說跨境匪徒會 進行綁架，他們也會到山頂或飛鵝山，不會在沙頭角犯案，唯一的問題只是走私的問題。
If there are concerns about criminals crossing the border to commit kidnapping they will go to the Peak or Kowloon Peak rather than committing the offence in Sha Tau Kok . The only problem is just smuggling
可否採用較好的方法來控制，令政府可以進一步縮減禁區範圍，好讓香港人能前往該區欣賞景色和文物，亦有助活化該處的經濟？
Is it possible to control it in better ways so that the Government can further reduce the coverage of the closed area and hence enable Hongkongers to go there for the sceneries and cultural heritage which can in turn help revitalize the local economy?
主席，我是北區區議員，所以我對沙頭角非常熟悉。
President I am a District Council member of the North District and so I know Sha Tau Kok very well
今天我不想就保安問題與局長討論，因為我也認同他的部分意見。
I do not wish to discuss the security issue with the Secretary today for I also share some of his views
我想直接問問局長，由於有很多無論是居住在沙頭角或區外的市民均表示生活上有點不方便，又或一些人也想認識沙頭角，特別是如果大家曾到訪沙頭角也知道，該處有一個全港最長的碼頭，但卻是看得見而不能用。因此，局方可否考慮簡化禁區紙的申請手續？
I would like to ask the Secretary this direct Since many people living either in Sha Tau Kok or outside the area have expressed the view that the current arrangement is a bit inconvenient for them or as some people also wish to know more about Sha Tau Kok and particularly as Members who have visited Sha Tau Kok before will know there is a pier which is the longest in the territory but it can only be seen without being put to any use can the Bureau consider streamlining the formalities for CAP applications?
我想問局長會否考慮這一點？
May I ask the Secretary if he will consider this point?
主席，近年政府為了應付內地和香港兩地的大量人流，先後投資大量資金興建港珠澳大橋、蓮塘口岸、廣深港高速鐵路等。
President in recent years in order to cope with the huge flow of people between the Mainland and Hong Kong the Government has invested an enormous amount of capital in the development of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge Liantang boundary control point Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Line and so on
但是，長期以來，政府對開放沙頭角邊境禁區卻採取十分保守的態度。
But over a long period of time the Government has taken a most conservative attitude towards the opening up of the Sha Tau Kok FCA
我認為政府明顯是怕麻煩，或未能與時並進，甚至可說是雙重標準。
I think the Government obviously wanted to avoid troubles or failed to progress with the times or I would even say that it has adopted double standards
當局在主體答覆中表示，主要的問題是沒有實質屏障作為邊境分界或未能符合保安的要求，但如果以開放的態度或從便民的角度來看，我認為當局應該進一步研究如何增加沙頭角墟的邊境設施或開放有關限制。
In the main reply the authorities stated that the prime consideration is the lack of a physical barrier separating the two places along the border or concern about not meeting the security requirements . But making consideration with an open mind or from the angle of providing convenience to the public I think the authorities should further look into how the border facilities in Sha Tau Kok can be increased or how the restrictions can be relaxed
局長可否承諾就這方面作進一步研究，甚至制訂一個逐步開放的時間表，令大家可以看得到未來的方向呢？
Can the Secretary undertake to conduct further studies in this respect and even draw up a timetable for gradually opening up the area so that we can see the future direction?
根據《教育條例》第31及第10條，任何院校、組織或機構，只要其於任何一天向20人或多於20人或於任何時間同時向8人或多於8人提供幼兒、幼稚園、小學、中學或專上教育或以任何方式提供任何其他教育課程，即須註冊或臨時註冊為學校。
According to sections 31 and 10 of the Education Ordinance any institution organization or establishment which provides for 20 or more persons during any one day or 8 or more persons at any one time any nursery kindergarten primary secondary or post - secondary education or any other educational course by any means is required to be registered or provisionally registered as a school
另一方面，《公眾娛樂場所條例》第4條訂明，任何人如未獲發牌當局發給公眾娛樂場所牌照而經營或使用任何公眾娛樂場所，即屬違法，而該條例第2條所界定的"娛樂"包括"演講或故事講說"。
On the other hand section 4 of the Places of Public Entertainment Ordinance PPEO provides that a person who keeps or uses a place of public entertainment without a Places of Public Entertainment Licence PPEL issued by the licensing authority commits an offence and the definition of entertainment under section 2 of PPEO includes lecture or story - telling
是否錯在"民間"兩個字呢？
Is the fault the word intercommon?
政府以《教育條例》來控告或監管未註冊的學校，我覺得是無可厚非，但政府現時正在監管或檢控甚麼團體呢？
I think there is nothing much to be said against the Government invoking EO to prosecute or monitor unregistered schools . But what groups is the Government monitoring or prosecuting now?
是討論本土意識或時政的民間團體，這完全打擊民間的文化交流和知識傳遞。
Community groups that discuss the sense of indigenousness or current affairs . It is totally a blow to cultural exchanges and transmission of knowledge in the community
政府說是收到投訴，因此根據法例執法，但是，有很多組織很容易遭到投訴，例如討論本土意識、平反六四、領土的統獨、六七暴動或文化 大革命等議題的組織，難道它們全部都要註冊成為學校？
The Government said it enforced the law in accordance with the legislation upon receipt of complaints . However many organizations are prone to becoming targets of complaint such as those discussing topics like indigenousness vindication of the 4 June Incident unification or independence of territory the 1967 riots the Cultural Revolution etc . Are they all required to be registered as schools?
代理主席，剛才局長表示，《教育條例》是清晰的，但我相信現在很多朋友也感覺到，其實未必那麼清晰。
Deputy President the Secretary has just said that EO is clear . But I think many people find it indeed not so clear
我的問題是：局長能否清晰地作出分辨？
My question is can the Secretary draw a clear distinction?
主體質詢第三部分問及應邀來港出席文化交流活動的海外學者，如果未得入境事務處事先批准，會否被視為在港非法工作？
Part 3 of the main question asked whether the overseas scholars who have come to Hong Kong to attend cultural exchange activities on invitation will be regarded as working illegally in Hong Kong without prior approval of the Director of Immigration
局長在主體答覆的最後部分說"訪客在港逗留期間參與文化活動是否構成僱傭工作，須視乎個別活動的實際情況而定，不可一概而論。
The Secretary said in the last part of his main reply that whether visitors participation in cultural exchange programmes during their stay in Hong Kong constitutes employment depends on the actual circumstances of the individual event and cannot be generalized
"局長即是沒有回答是合法或違法，只是說"當中考慮的因素包括活動是否屬商業性質或涉及僱傭合約、報酬等。
The Secretary has in effect not replied if it is legal or illegal only saying consideration factors include whether the event is commercial in nature or whether employment contracts remuneration etc
會否構成違法的行為呢？
Will it constitute an illegal act?
