Borrison/hk-legicost huggingface dataset:
這裏設有7個口岸，當中有些是用作貨運。
There are seven control points with some for cargo clearance
至於如何運用這契機，我相信在硬件方面一定要有充足的準備。
As for how to make use of this opportunity I believe Hong Kong must be well prepared in terms of hardware
現時深圳的經濟發展蓬勃，香港能否參與其中呢？
Can Hong Kong have a role to play in Shenzhens vibrant economic development at present?
劉國勳議員今天這項議案的主題，正是如何在新界北多做科研及基建的工作。
The main theme of the motion proposed by Mr LAU Kwok - fan today is precisely how New Territories North can engage more in scientific research and infrastructure
相反，我看到香港的中英街的屋邨破舊不堪。
On the contrary the housing estate on the Hong Kong side of Chung Ying Street was dilapidated
假設香港政府早在該處發展，單就2,000元的租金而言大家也知道五六百呎地鋪的租金應該是多少即使政府只是徵收租金稅等，對庫房也有一定的幫助。
If the Hong Kong Government had developed that place long ago for a rent of 2,000 alone―Members should know how much the rent for a 500 - square feet to 600 - square feet ground floor shop should be―the Treasury should have received some additional income even if the Government only levied taxes on rent and the like
關於如何發展香港尚未發展的土地，我認為黃偉綸局長及其團隊應認真研究今次劉國勳議員向他們提供的想法。
Regarding how to develop the undeveloped land of Hong Kong I think Secretary Michael WONG and his team should seriously study the views given to them by Mr LAU Kwok - fan this time
我個人非常支持，亦希望政府加快發展步伐。
I personally support these views very much and hope that the Government can speed up the pace of development
代理主席，我們明白5分鐘也是可以善用的。
Deputy President I understand that five minutes can also be made good use of
如果將來有90位議員，每人多說兩分鐘，便會增加180分鐘，即是數個小時。
If there are 90 Members in the future and each of them speaks two more minutes the meeting will be 180 minutes or several hours longer
因此，我想請各位同事日後說快一點，精簡一點，讓我們可以善用議會時間。
Therefore I would like to ask colleagues to speak faster and more concisely in future so that we can make good use of the Councils time
局長，在剛過去的星期一，政府向立法會發展事務委員會提交一份文 件，當中提到政府要向立法會申請10億元進行新界北發展研究的工作。
Secretary on the preceding Monday the Government submitted a paper to the Legislative Council Panel on Development seeking a funding of 1 billion from the Legislative Council for undertaking studies for the development of New Territories North
這10億元會分兩個階段使用，第一個階段會用8億元聘請顧問，在新田、落馬洲及皇崗口岸遷出後釋放的20公頃土地上，進行勘察研究和詳細設計。
This 1 billion will be used in two phases . During the first phase 800 million will be used for engaging consultants to undertake investigation and detailed works design for San Tin Lok Ma Chau and the 20 hectares of land to be released after the relocation of the Huanggang Port
第二階段會用2億元聘請顧問，對新界北餘下階段發展進行規劃及工程研究。
During the second phase 200 million will be used for engaging consultants to undertake planning and engineering study for the Remaining Phase Development of New Territories North
我記得《城市規劃條例》在2005年曾作出修訂，當時增設很多公眾參與。
I remember that the Town Planning Ordinance was revised in 2005 with the inclusion of a lot of public engagement
因此，在談論所有發展前，一定要解決這些程序上的問題，否則便無法解決現時所面對的困難。
Therefore before talking about any developments the Government must tackle all these procedural problems; otherwise the difficulties in front cannot be resolved
政府如何解決香港現時的"龜速"發展？
How can the Government tackle the problem of Hong Kongs current development at a snails pace?
可否由一眾局長帶頭檢視所有條例，掃除一些已過時的概念？
Can all the Secretaries take the lead in reviewing all ordinances to remove obsolete concepts?
我們的立法會現已有效地運作，可以配合政府修例，令速度加快，這樣才可以真正地發展。
The Legislative Council has been operating effectively now and can cooperate with the Government in its legislative amendment exercises to speed up the process . Only in this way can genuine development be possible
主席，我在修正案中加入沙頭角墟發展旅遊業的建議，希望大家支持。
President I have added the proposal of developing tourism in Sha Tau Kok Town in my amendment . I hope that Members will support it
自2012年起，政府為了發展生態旅遊，分階段開放禁區，例如紅花嶺和打鼓嶺等，但基於保安理由，中英街及沙頭角墟仍被列為禁區。
Since 2012 the Government has opened closed areas such as Robins Nest and Ta Kwu Ling in stages to develop ecotourism . However for security reasons Chung Ying Street and Sha Tau Kok Town are still classified as closed areas
其實，這個地方位置比較獨特，具有歷史意義和教育意義，適合發展邊境旅遊和海上旅遊。
In fact the location of the area is rather unique; it has historical and educational significance and is suitable for developing boundary tourism and marine tourism
位於深港邊界的沙頭角墟和中英街，香港方面一直都沒有對外開放，所以給人十分神秘的感覺。
Located along the boundary of Shenzhen and Hong Kong Sha Tau Kok Town and Chung Ying Street on the Hong Kong side are not open up to the public and people find them very mysterious
中英街是一條非常有特色的街道，作為深圳和香港之間的邊界，周邊沒有圍牆和圍網，是完全開放的，只有靠界碑來劃定兩地邊界。
Chung Ying Street is a street with very special features . As the boundary of Shenzhen and Hong Kong it has no barrier walls or fences and is completely open with only the Stone Obelisk marking the boundary
街道以北屬於深圳，南邊則屬於香港，粵港雙方管制人員在同一街道上巡邏成為經典的畫面。
To the north of Chung Ying Street is Shenzhen and to its South is Hong Kong . The patrolling of boundary control officers of both Guangdong and Hong Kong on the same street is a classic scene of Chung Ying Street
內地改革開放之後，內地對中英街作有限度開放，高峰時曾創下每日接待10萬名旅客的紀錄，他們主要以購物為主。
After its opening up and reform the Mainland has granted limited access to Chung Ying Street which has hit a record high of receiving 100 000 visitors per day . The visitors mainly shopped in Chung Ying Street
隨着內地經濟 發展，中英街購物的優勢逐漸失去，現在只餘下數間店鋪在那裏經營。
With the development of the Mainland economy Chung Ying Street has gradually lost its edge as a shopping destination . At present there are only a few shops in operation
由於人流稀少，保安已經不成問題。
Due to low people flow security is no longer a problem
在旅遊資源方面，與中英街相鄰的新樓街，由22棟騎樓組成，是目前香港現存最長的騎樓街，已經被列為二級歷史建築。
As for tourism resources San Lau Street which parallels to Chung Ying Street is made up of 22 shop - houses . It is currently the longest street with shop - houses in Hong Kong and has been classified as a Grade 2 historic building
自1934年落成後，這些建築一直未有改建，保留了當時的面貌，如此有歷史價值的街區被荒廢，實在可惜。
Since their completion in 1934 these houses have not been altered and retained their original appearances . It is indeed a pity if the street area with such a high historical value is left unused
沙頭角墟周邊有不少世界級的綠色旅遊資源，有豐富的地質景觀，當中有荔枝窩、印洲塘、吉澳和鴨洲，節假日吸引不少旅行團、行山愛好者到訪。
On the periphery of Sha Tau Kok Town there are plenty of world - class green tourism resources with many spots of geological interests including Lai Chi Wo Yan Chau Tong Kat O and Ap Chau . These places attract many tour groups and hikers during festive seasons and the holidays
荔枝窩近年更成功活化，成為香港的旅遊熱點。
In recent years Lai Chi Wo has been successfully revived as a tourist hotspot in Hong Kong
但是，現在前往這些旅遊點十分不便，要由新界的馬料水坐船最少一個半小時才能到達，但由沙頭角前往則接近得多。
However travelling to these tourist spots is very inconvenient at present . We have to take a ferry trip of at least one and a half hours from Ma Liu Shui in the New Territories but it is a lot closer if we start off from Sha Tau Kok
由於沙頭角現在一直被列為邊境禁區，市民需要有充分理由才可以申請禁區紙。
Since Sha Tau Kok has all along been designated as a closed area members of the public must have sufficient grounds before applying for a closed area permit CAP
同樣，中英街亦只有沙頭角居民才能進出；市民想進入中英街，往返只能通過深圳。
Similarly access to Chung Ying Street is granted only to residents of Sha Tau Kok . If other members of the public wish to enter Chung Ying Street they must access via Shenzhen
雖然沙頭角公眾碼頭設有街渡前往吉澳和鴨洲，但只限於持有禁區紙的人士乘搭。
Although kaito ferry services to Kat O and Ap Chau are provided at the Sha Tau Kok Public Pier they are available to holders of CAPs only
目前中英街深港兩地發展都存在較大差異，深圳一方已將中英街規劃為愛國主義旅遊景點，當中設有中英街博物館，並已復修中英街內的天后宮和吳氏宗祠。
Currently the authorities of Shenzhen and Hong Kong have adopted quite different approaches in developing Chung Ying Street . The Shenzhen authorities have designated Chung Ying Street as a patriotic tourist spot and established the Zhongying Street Historical Museum
深圳已將中英街發展成有價值、有教育意義的旅遊資源，相反香港方面長時間沒有規劃、放任不管，顯得十分落後。
They have also restored the Tin Hau Palace and the Ng Ancestral Hall in Chung Ying Street thereby developing Chung Ying Street into valuable and educational tourism resource . On the contrary the Hong Kong authorities have failed to make any planning and left the place unattended for a long time . As a result the place looks very backward
特區政府有責任反思，如何扭轉如此衰落的局面。
The SAR Government has the responsibility to reflect on ways to turn the declining situation around
主席，要發展沙頭角，首先要有人氣，建議初期可以採取配額形式發放禁區紙，供市民和旅行團申請，允許市民有限度進入沙頭角墟四處遊覽，以及利用沙頭角的公眾碼頭前往吉澳、荔枝窩和周邊旅遊景點，形成一條綠色旅遊線路，日後可根據客流和需求逐步放寬限制。
President people flow is the primary prerequisite for developing Sha Tau Kok . I suggest that in the early stage CAPs can be granted with quotas . Members of the public and tour groups can apply for CAPs to obtain limited access to tour around Sha Tau Kok Town and travel to Kat O Lai Chi Wo and the tourist spots in the periphery via the Sha Tau Kok Public Pier thus creating a green tourism route
這樣既可活化該區的旅遊資源，又可以幫助該區的經濟，政府何樂而不為呢？
This will help revive the tourism resources and improve the economy of the area . Why would the Government decline to do so?
我現在請民政事務局局長發言。
I now call upon the Secretary for Home Affairs to speak
主席，我感謝蔣麗芸議員提出今日的議案，以及多位議員的發言，當中有不少議員均就如何協助青年人向上流動及獲得更多發展機會提出了許多寶貴意見。
President I thank Dr CHIANG Lai - wan for proposing todays motion and a number of Members for their speeches . Many of them have put forward a lot of valuable views on how to help young people move up the social ladder and gain more opportunities for development
我會先就青年發展方面作出回應，稍後勞工及福利局局長和教育局副局長會就其他範疇作出回應。
I will first respond to the area of youth development and then the Secretary for Labour and Welfare and the Under Secretary for Education will respond to other areas
特區政府十分認同今日議案提出協助青年新一代獲得較佳條件及向上流動機會的理念。
The SAR Government fully agrees with the idea of providing the new generation with better conditions and opportunities for upward mobility as proposed in todays motion
由政務司司長出任主席的青年發展委員會，自成立以來一直致力做好青年"三業三政"的工作，讓青年看到曙光和向上流動的機會。
Since its establishment the Youth Development Commission chaired by the Chief Secretary for Administration has been striving to do its best by addressing young peoples concerns about education career pursuit and home ownership and encouraging their participation in politics as well as public policy discussion and debate
過去幾年，委員會進行大量工作，協助青年人擴闊視野、發展事業及向上流動。
It aims to enable them to see hope and opportunities for upward mobility . Over the past few years the Commission has done a great deal to help young people broaden their horizons develop their career and move up the social ladder
我剛才聽到易志明議員和梁美芬議員提到，希望政府多協助青年人，例如規劃未來路向方面。
Just now I heard Mr Frankie YICK and Dr Priscilla LEUNG say that they hoped the Government would provide more assistance to young people in for example mapping out their way forward
事實上，特區政府近年已積極推動青年人做好生涯規劃，及早為未來升學及就業作出適合自己的選擇。
In fact in recent years the SAR Government has been actively promoting young people to make better career and life planning so that they can make a choice that will suit themselves between future studies and employment as early as possible
自2019-2020年度起，我們已增撥資源優化計劃，同時加強非政府機構與學校之間的協同效應，期望達至質與量都有提升。
Starting from 2019 - 2020 we have allocated additional resources to enhance the Scheme and strengthen the synergy between NGOs and schools with a view to achieving both qualitative and quantitative improvements
優化後的計劃資助共24間非政府機構，涵蓋約360間中學，服務30多萬學生、教師及家長。
The enhanced Scheme supports a total of 24 NGOs covering about 360 secondary schools and serving over 300 000 students teachers and parents
此外，有見及疫情對就業市場的影響，我們在去年年底進一步優化計劃，推出"中學生/離校生個人升學和就業支援服務"，向現行24間獲資助機構提供一次性、為期一年的額外撥款，特別為一些仍未有明確升學或就業路向和有需要的中學生，提供全面、深入和具持續性的輔導支援引導他們探索多元出路，包括在本港和粵港澳大灣區內地城市的升學和就業選擇。
In addition in view of the impact of the epidemic on the employment market we have further enhanced the Scheme at the end of last year by introducing the Individual Study and Career Support Service for Secondary School Students and Leavers which provides the 24 currently funded NGOs with one - off additional funding for a period of one year to provide comprehensive in - depth and sustainable counselling services particularly for secondary school students who have yet to have a clear progression or employment path and are in need and guide them to explore multiple pathways including further study and career options in both Hong Kong and Mainland cities in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area GBA
我剛才聽到容海恩議員和鄭泳舜議員提到，其實我們有許多關於文化、體育相關的不同計劃和工作幫助年輕一代，尤其是在軟件方面。
Just now I heard Ms YUNG Hoi - yan and Mr Vincent CHENG mention that we have implemented many projects and programmes to help the younger generation in the areas of culture and sports especially software
除此之外，我們正不斷落實很多硬件相關的計劃，例如西九文化區、啟德體育園，去年於施政報告特別提到藝術科技，這些都是新穎、破格的思維。
Apart from that we have been continuously implementing a number of hardware - related projects such as the West Kowloon Cultural District the Kai Tak Sports Park as well as arts technology highlighted in last years Policy Address . All these are innovative and groundbreaking ideas
我們會看看如何讓年輕一代有更多機會和希望。
We will see how we can give the younger generation more opportunities and hope
我們亦期望青年人能放眼國家、面向世界。
We also hope that young people can set their sights on the country and engage themselves globally
因此，我們的青年交流和實習計劃除了包括大灣區，更涵蓋內地其他省市以至世界各地。
In view of this our youth exchange and internship programmes cover not only GBA but also other Mainland cities and the rest of the world
疫情前，每年平均有超過7萬名香港青年參加政府各政策局/部門舉辦、資助或協調的內地及海外交流和實習計劃。
Before the epidemic an average of over 70 000 Hong Kong young people participated in exchange and internship programmes on the Mainland and overseas that were organized funded or coordinated by various government bureauxdepartments each year
視乎疫情發展，特區政府將會繼續優化各個實習計劃的廣度和深度。
Depending on the development of the epidemic the SAR Government will continue to enhance the breadth and depth of the various internship programmes
我剛才亦聽到李慧琼議員特別提到關於青年的住屋困難，相信各位議員亦同意，住屋問題不單是青年人的問題，更是整個香港社會所面對的問題。
I also heard Ms Starry LEE highlight the housing problems of young people just now . I believe all Members will agree that housing is not only an issue for young people but one that affects the Hong Kong community at large
面對嚴重土地供應短缺，政府一直透過各項措施，致力覓地建屋和善用現有資源，協助市民包括青年人置業。
In view of the serious shortage of land supply the Government has been taking various measures such as identifying land for housing development and making better use of the current resources to support members of the public including young people to achieve home ownership
與此同時，為滿足部分在職青年對擁有自己空間的渴望，同時釋放土地發展潛力，政府積極推展青年宿舍計劃，現時計劃下的7個項目合共可提供至少3,300個宿位，包括在未來兩年內提供約1,760個宿位。
Meanwhile to meet the aspirations of some working youth to have their own living spaces and to unleash the potential of development sites the Government actively promotes the Youth Hostel Scheme . The seven projects currently under the Scheme can provide a total of at least 3 300 hostel places including about 1 760 places in the next two years
事實上，立法會財務委員會剛在4月30日的會議上就兩個青年宿舍項目批出撥款，我多謝各位議員的支持，亦藉此希望議員繼續支持青年宿舍計劃。
In fact the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council has just approved funding for two youth hostel projects at its meeting on 30 April . I would like to thank Members for their support and hope that Members will continue to support the youth hostel projects
接下來我將時間交給教育局和勞工及福利局作進一步回應。
I will now leave it to the Education Bureau and the Labour and Welfare Bureau to make further response
主席，首先多謝蔣麗芸議員提出這項議案。
President I first thank Dr CHIANG Lai - wan for proposing this motion
主席，我們知道香港面對的其中一大問題，是出生率低和人口老化。
President we know that the major problems faced by Hong Kong are low birth rate and ageing population
此外，我們亦面對年青人難於向上流動及對未來失去希望的問題，而跨代貧窮亦是我們一直面對的問題。
Besides Hong Kong is also facing the problem of young people having difficult in moving upward and losing hope in the future . Also cross - generational poverty is another problem that Hong Kong has been facing
我不敢說蔣麗芸議員這次提出的議案可以解決所有問題。
I dare not say that the motion proposed by Dr CHIANG Lai - wan this time can resolve all the problems
當然，沒有一項議案或政策可以解決所有問題。
Of course no single motion or policy can resolve all the problems
但是，我絕對認為蔣麗芸議員這項議案背後有良好的意願，就是推動解決當中部分問題。
However I definitely think that there is a good intention behind Dr CHIANG Lai - wans motion and that is driving to resolve some of these problems
這次蔣麗芸議員提出的議案的措辭較為簡單，沒有指明應如何執行有關細節，所以有很多研究和探索的空間。
The wordings of the motion proposed by Dr CHIANG Lai - wan this time are relatively simpler without specifying the implementation details . Thus there is a lot of room for study and exploration
蔣議員的議案是促請政府為本港所有新生嬰兒及18歲以下兒童設立"新生代基金"，該基金可由政府及家庭共同供款和投資。
The motion of Dr CHIANG seeks to urge the Government to set up a New Generation Fund for all newborns and children under the age of 18 in Hong Kong which can be created through joint contributions and investment from the Government and families
到了他們18歲時，便會儲蓄到一筆錢，或多或少可以幫助年青人追求夢想，而家長亦會少一個負擔，多一個期盼。
When they reach 18 years old a sum of money will be saved up which may more or less help the young people pursue their dreams . Also parents will have one less burden and one more hope
關於人口老化問題，蔣議員也提到，當我們現在的新生代長大後，會面對香港嚴重人口老化的問題。
Regarding the problem of ageing population as Dr CHIANG has also mentioned when the present - day new generation grows up it will face the serious problem of ageing population in Hong Kong
當然，要解決人口老化問題，我們需要多管齊下。
Of course a multi - pronged approach is needed to tackle the problem of ageing population
但是，我們要考慮的是，現在的年青人在長大時的負擔會有多沉重，該基金可否幫助他們，讓他們減輕負擔，我覺得這些都是值得考慮的。
However what we must consider is how heavy the burden of young people will be when they grow up and whether the Fund can help them lessen their burden . I think that all these are worthy of consideration
當然，政府會說，現時已設有兒童發展基金，但這項基金也有很多不足之處。
The Government will certainly say that the Child Development Fund has been in place . However there are a lot of inadequacies in this fund
現時，單是18歲以下的貧窮兒童已有超過17萬人。
Currently the number of children in poverty under 18 years old alone has exceeded 170 000
由此可見，兒童發展基金絕對不足。
From this it can be seen that the Child Development Fund is definitely not adequate
因此，我們建議在香港成立一個涵蓋全民和長期的兒童發展基金，並稱之為"新生代基金"，目的是幫助所有兒童。
Therefore we propose establishing in Hong Kong a universal and long - term child development fund named New Generation Fund with an aim of helping all children
因此，我認為要看得長遠一點，為我們未來一代着想。
Therefore I think that we should be a bit more forward - looking and consider the needs of our future generation
希望大家支持蔣麗芸議員的議案，該議案最少可促使政府深入研究有關問題，為年青人帶來希望。
I hope that Members will support Dr CHIANG Lai - wans motion as it at least prompt the Government to study the relevant problems in depth to bring hope to young people
我現在請姚思榮議員動議修正案。
I now call upon Mr YIU Si - wing to move an amendment
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：姚思榮議員動議的修正案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the amendment moved by Mr YIU Si - wing be passed
代理主席，首先我要感謝姚思榮議員以我的原議案措辭為基礎作出補充，令議案更加豐富。我亦要感謝他，因為他令我有多5分鐘發言時間。
Deputy President first of all I would like to thank Mr YIU Si - wing for supplementing the wording of my original motion to enrich its content and also for enabling me to speak for another five minutes
正如我在原議案中所說，我說的新界北是指新界正北面，由深圳灣至沙頭角，所以姚思榮議員的修正案提到沙頭角，與我的議案的精神和內容完全相符。
As I state in the original motion what I mean by New Territories North is precisely the northern New Territories from Shenzhen Bay to Sha Tau Kok . Therefore the amendment proposed by Mr YIU Si - wing which touches upon Sha Tau Kok is entirely consistent with my motion in terms of spirit and content
以沙頭角作為核心，用2,300公頃土地配合我們的沙頭角作為核心。
The 2 300 hectares of land is intended to support our Sha Tau Kok as the core
特區政府和高官有否好好考慮新界北未來的整體發展呢？
Have the SAR Government and officials given some good thought to the future overall development of New Territories North?
事實上，沙頭角墟連接深圳東部的鹽田區，該處的海岸帶絕對可發展為深港國際旅遊消費合作區。
In fact Sha Tau Kok Town is located adjacent to Yantian District in eastern Shenzhen where the coastal area can absolutely be developed into Shenzhen - HK international tourism consumption cooperation area
附近有很多美麗的景點，例如吉澳，吉澳在清末擁有"南海明珠"的稱譽，還有印洲塘，是本港首批海岸公園。
There are many beautiful spots nearby eg . Kat O hailed as the Pearl of the South China Sea in the late Qing Dynasty and Yan Chau Tong one of Hong Kongs first marine parks
由沙頭角碼頭前往這些離島十分方便，但為何不把如此方便的碼頭提供予香港市民使用呢？
It is very convenient to travel from the Sha Tau Kok Pier to these outlying islands but why is it that such a convenient pier is not open to the public of Hong Kong?
因為該處是禁區。
Because that place is a closed area
如果我們要前往吉澳或印洲塘，需要在馬料水乘船，船程可能超過1小時。
If we are to travel to Kat O or Yan Chau Tong we have to take a ferry from Ma Liu Shui for probably over an hour
即使有如此美好的風光，莫說要前往深圳，連前往香港的地方也受到禁區的限制。
Even though these places boast beautiful scenery there are restrictions on travelling there―not in Shenzhen but in Hong Kong―because they are closed areas
但是，隨着禁區範圍縮小，在政府開放更多禁區和釋放禁區土地之後，荔枝窩出現了活化的機遇。
However after the Government reduced the size of closed areas opened up more closed areas and released the land in closed areas there have been opportunities for revitalizing Lai Chi Wo
再加上大學和團體介入，在當地發展生態旅遊，整條村變得更有活力，並發展復耕和生態旅遊等，這是一個例子。
With the help of some universities and organizations the village has developed ecotourism and become more vibrant with agricultural land rehabilitation and ecotourism . This is a good example
因此，姚思榮議員的修正案絕對值得支持。
Therefore the amendment proposed by Mr YIU Si - wing is absolutely worthy of support
我最主要想說的是，我欣賞他們的精神和積極態度。
I really want to express my appreciation for their spirit and proactive attitude
我希望特區政府也抱持着這份精神和積極態度，善用和積極使用新界北每一寸土地，做好粵港澳大灣區的融合工作，發揮核心作用。
I hope that the SAR Government by embracing the same spirit and proactive attitude will take the initiative to make good use of every inch of land in New Territories North and effectively take forward the integration of Hong Kong into the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area to enable Hong Kong to play a core role
主席，今天我的議案題為"以口岸經濟帶動新界北發展"。
President the title of my motion today is Driving the development of New Territories North with port economy
在此我想開宗明義指出，我今天所說的"新界北"是指整個新界北面，若以地方行政區劃分，即包括北區、元朗及屯門，而不限於政府現正研究的新界北範圍，因為政府研究的新界北範圍只包括打鼓嶺及坪輋而已。
Here I would like to first clarify that the New Territories North that I refer to today is the entire northern New Territories . If in terms of administrative districts it includes North District Yuen Long District and Tuen Mun District . The coverage is wider than that of the New Territories North being studied by the Government as the latter includes only Ta Kwu Ling and Ping Che
計及去年啟用的香園圍邊境管制站，香港與深圳之間互通的陸路口岸共有7個，西起深圳灣，東至沙頭角，這些口岸全部均位於新界北面，對接着深圳市發展最成熟、經濟增長動力最強勁的"口岸經濟帶"。
Taking into account the Heung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point commissioned last year we have a total of seven land boundary control points between Hong Kong and Shenzhen including Shenzhen Bay in the west and Sha Tau Kok in the east . All these control points are located in the northern part of the New Territories close to the Shenzhens port economic belt where the economy is the most developed and the economic growth momentum is the strongest
雖然我們的新界北面貼近這些"口岸經濟帶"，但發展卻不能與深圳同日而語，只是一片荒蕪。
Yet despite the close proximity to the port economic belt our northern New Territories remains barren and can hardly catch up with Shenzhens development
請看看我手上的衞星圖。
Please look at the satellite pictures in my hands
1985年深圳剛剛開始發展，只有羅湖略有發展，福田仍是一片田原，而我們的新界北也是一片田原。
In 1985 Shenzhen was in its early stage of development . Apart from slight developments in Lo Wu Futian was full of farmland same as our northern New Territories
2002年福田開始發展，因為設立了口岸，而羅湖亦繼續保持良好發展，但我們的新界北面仍然是一片田地。
In 2002 Futian began to develop after the establishment of a port and Lo Wu kept up with its impressive development . Yet our northern New Territories was still full of farmland
從這張立體圖，大家可更清晰看到福田和羅湖與新界的對比。
In this 3D photo the contrast between FutianLo Wu and the New Territories is even clearer
我展示的這些圖片，是要顯示一河兩地沿口岸帶的發展差別。
I showed these pictures because I want to illustrate how different the development is on the two sides of the river along the port belt
所謂的"深圳速度"，是每年皆有發展，每5年迎來一個大變，要追也追不上；反觀香港這邊，從我剛才展示的圖片可見，歷經40年，新界北面可說是幾乎"50年不變"。
The so - called Shenzhens speed means it has development every year and then major changes every five years which is hard to catch up with . Conversely from the photo just shown to Members we can see that after 40 years northern New Territories on this side of Hong Kong has basically remained unchanged for 50 years
