根據政府統計處資料，文化產業的GDP在2005年至2015年間平均以7.6%增長，比其他行業多出約2%；同時文化及創意產業的就業人數不斷上升，由2005年至2014年的平均升幅為2.4%，比總就業人數的1.3%為快，可見文化及創意產業在香港有很大潛力。
According to the Census and Statistics Department the annual average increase of the GDP of cultural industry was 7.6 % from 2005 to 2015 which had exceeded any other industry by 2 % . At the same time the number of persons engaged in the cultural and creative industry was on the rise constantly and the annual average increase was 2.4 % from 2005 to 2014 which was faster than the 1.3 % growth of the total employment . One can see that the cultural and creative industry in Hong Kong has a great development potential
此外，根據地政總署數據，工廠大廈在2017年有超過100萬平方米的空置率，使用量更出現下跌。
Moreover according to the Lands Department the vacancy rate of industrial buildings had exceeded 1 million sq m in 2017 and the utilization rate was falling
工廈租金不但比其他地方低，而且在環境配置方面也十分適合進行文化及創意工作。
Rentals of industrial buildings are not only lower than other premises; their configurations are also suitable for the cultural and creative usage
在有人沒有地用，有地沒有人用的情況下，政府何不順水推舟，利用工廈的空間，再進一步推動本地多元文化藝術呢？
In view of the fact that some people have no venues to use while some premises are vacant why does the Government not grasp this opportunity by making use of the room of industrial buildings to give further impetus to the local diversified cultural and arts industry?
所以，我希望有關部門能重新審視香港工業大廈在文化及創意產業用途的可行性，從而推動文化藝術發展。
Therefore I hope the relevant government departments can re - examine the feasibility of allowing Hong Kongs cultural and creative industry to use local industrial buildings with a view to giving a big push to the development of the cultural and arts industry
近年有不少藝術工作者嘗試把工廈轉成藝術用途，例如"band房"、錄音室、排舞室等，當中遇到不少困難及阻礙，主要是因為工廈地契及其結構仍然停留在過往工業年代，至今仍未作出更新，令工廈使用受到限制。
In recent years many arts practitioners tried to convert industrial buildings into arts usage such as band rooms audio studios dance studios and so on . But they faced a lot of difficulties and hurdles mainly due to the fact that the title deeds as well as the structures of industrial buildings were still staying in the industrial era and nothing had been updated up till now . As a result the usages of industrial buildings were under many restrictions
同時，工廈的消防安全問題也十分值得關注，尤其是1,100幢於1987年前落成的工廈，至今仍然未達至現今的消防標準，大大降低了工廈的實用性。
At the same time fire safety was another issue of concern of industrial buildings especially 1 100 industrial buildings built before 1987 could not meet the present - days fire safety standards which had significantly lowered the functionality of these industrial buildings
再者，在2016年結束的活化工廈政策改變了工廈本身已存有的生態環境，反而令更多本身在工廈工作的藝術工作者因租金上升而搬遷，令情況適得其反，進一步減低藝術工作者的生存空間。
Moreover the policy of revitalizing industrial buildings which ended in 2016 had already changed the existing ecology of industrial buildings . Quite the contrary a lot of arts practitioners operating in industrial buildings had to move out of their premises due to a rise in rentals . It was quite a backfire as the room of survival of arts practitioners was further constricted
主席，我想指出，如果政府想在香港推動藝術及文化及創意產業，首先便要增加藝術工作者的生存空間，讓他們有足夠空間發揮所長。
President I wish to point out that if the Government wants to promote the cultural and creative industry it should first enhance the viability of arts practitioners so that they can have adequate room to give full play to their abilities
故此，我們建議政府應重新檢視工廈政策及更新"工業大廈用途"的定義，把"藝術工作室及表演場地"列為工業地帶內的經常准許用途。
Therefore we suggest that the Government should re - examine its policy in regulating industrial buildings and update the definition of Industrial Use and to make artists studios and performing venues an always permitted use in an industrial zone
消除工廈在文化藝術使用上的障礙，使文化藝術及體育團體在不影響消防安全的條件下，能夠名正言順地租用工業大廈，並為日後的藝術文化的長遠發展鋪路。
It should remove the hurdles in the use of industrial buildings so that such buildings can be used for cultural and arts usages and hence cultural and arts groups can justifiably rent units in industrial buildings in order to pave the way for the long - term development of arts and cultural initiatives provided that fire safety is not compromised
此外，政府更應採取積極態度，身先士卒，帶頭推動本地文化產業，吸引更多業主仿效，增強香港文化及創意產業優勢。
Moreover the Government should adopt a pro - active attitude and set for the public an example by taking the initiative to promote local cultural industry attracting more property owners to follow suit with a view to enhancing the edge of Hong Kongs cultural and creative industry
主席，工廈樓底高，又遠離民居，而且租金便宜，是十分適合藝術工作者進行不同文藝創作的地方。
President industrial buildings have high ceilings they are far away from residential areas and the rents are cheaper thus they are suitable venues for arts practitioners to conduct all forms of artistic and literary creations
既然有一個如此完美的空間，我們希望政府能慎重考慮上述建議，解放工廈使用權的限制，減低一切阻礙，讓工廈能夠正式成為工藝文化產業的搖籃，提供一個文創產業的發展空間給香港青年人。
As we have such a perfect space we hope the Government will consider the above proposals by lifting the restrictions on the use of industrial buildings reducing all forms of hurdles and allowing industrial buildings to become the cradles of the local cultural industry with a view to providing the room for Hong Kongs young people in the development of cultural and creative industries
主席，我相信馬逢國議員的議案較側重於空間、場地、設施方面，而政策方面的主張未有太多着墨。
President I think Mr MA Fung - kwoks motion focuses more on space venues and facilities than on the policy aspect
不過，我留意到多項修正案及很多議員的發言也希望從各方面推廣運動、藝術和文化的發展，這是可以理解的。
Yet I note that in the motion amendments or Members speeches many Members have expressed their hope to promote the development of sports arts and culture through various initiatives . This is understandable
不過，時間有限，我只可以針對原議案的主題，指出一些觀察所得。
Due to the time constraint I can only make some observations about the subject of the original motion
我當然不會像郭家麒議員般，根據他一貫作風，本來是頗正面的議案、沒有太大爭議性，也可以描繪為涉及很多中港矛盾、富商"黑手"等。
Of course in no way will my speech resemble that of Dr KWOK Ka - ki . It is his style all the way to associate any motions with the many Mainland - Hong Kong conflicts the manipulation of tycoons behind the scene and so forth no matter how positive and non - controversial the motions are
我沒有機會駁斥他，亦沒有需要這樣做。
I do not have any chance to refute his accusations nor do I see any need to do so
至於鍾國斌議員，他談到政策方面的問題，我明白需要鼓勵運動，我是完全理解的。
In Mr CHUNG Kwok - pans speech he has talked about the policy aspect of the issue . I know there is a need to promote sports activities . I fully understand this
我明白到當中的困難，除了文化康體設施之外，同時亦需要考慮究竟如何使用本港的工商業用地。
I understand the difficulties involved . Apart from cultural recreational and sports facilities we also have to consider how we should make use of the commercial and industrial sites
第一，關於我比較熟悉的九龍東啟德郵輪碼頭，我完全同意葉劉淑儀議員今天早上提出關於善用郵輪碼頭的修正案。
First I would like to talk about the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal KTCT at Kowloon East the development which I am quite familiar with . I completely concur with the amendment calling for the better use of KTCT proposed by Mrs Regina IP this morning
事實上，我一直很關注郵輪碼頭，我謔稱它為香港的西伯利亞，因為根本浪費了整個地方。
Actually I am very concerned about the KTCT development . I have given it a playful appellation―Hong Kongs Siberia―to portray how a waste of the entire area is
我特別留意到，郵輪碼頭旁邊的一幅大型草地，多年來雜草叢生。
I am very concerned about the usage of a large piece of grassland near KTCT . It has been overgrown with weeds for years
由於噪音問題，難以善用場地來舉行大型音樂會。
The noise problem has rendered it difficult to hold large - scale concerts at the stadium
但我們仍然不能大張旗鼓、明目張膽在大球場舉行大型活動，我覺得是比較可惜的。
Yet it is quite a pity that we still cannot hold large - scale activities at the stadium with a fanfare of publicity
相比之下，郵輪碼頭有大量空間、遠離民居，可以比大球場做得更好。
With a large space far away from residential buildings KTCT can do a better job than the stadium
特別是在啟德運動場未落成之前，是否應該多加善用郵輪碼頭本身的設施及旁邊的草地，進行各類活動、運動呢？
Particularly should we make better use of the facilities of KTCT and its nearby grassland to conduct various activities including sports activities before the completion of the Kai Tak Sports Park?
或許區議員認為要有更高透明度，我是同意的，不過這是題外話。
Perhaps Mr AU looks for higher transparency . I concur with him but this is outside the scope of the topic
現時加路連山用地是"十劃未有一撇"，更何況政府的原意是把用地作法院或商業用途，多於用作活動場所。
The Caroline site is just at its very initial stage of planning not to mention that the original intent of the Government is to use the site for judicial facilities or commercial purposes rather than for activity venue
這些當然也是要做的，但我們希望有機會讓區議會發揮功能。
But we also hope that apart from engaging in these common projects DCs can have the opportunity to effectively perform their functions
我覺得我們不應一方面要求增加措施，另一方面卻刻意阻礙發展如此好的設施，也別說香港賽馬會為這個活動提供4,000萬元的資助。
I think Members should not call for the increase in facilities on the one hand but deliberately hinder the development of such a good project on the other especially when the project has already secured a funding of 40 million from the Hong Kong Jockey Club
由於高地價政策和政府以往提出的一些錯誤土地政策，工廠大廈成為一個頗為不錯的替代品。
As a result of the high land price policy and some land policies wrongly pursued by the Government in the past industrial buildings have become a good alternative
對於大地主，特別是那些在工廠區擁有一幢又一幢大廈，以往可能用作經營工廠或有很多餘錢進行投資的人來說，這便成為"生金蛋"的最好工具。
For major landowners especially those who have acquired a number of buildings in industrial areas in the past for running factories or investors who have a lot of extra money for investment industrial properties have become the best tools for producing golden eggs
於是，那些位於火炭、九龍東、觀塘的工廠大廈，便變成一幢又一幢甲級寫字樓，租金由每呎不足10元上升至現時的約40元至50元，甚至會繼續一直上升，以致很多小型藝團、工作室、攝影studio被一一消滅。
Hence industrial buildings located in Fo Tan Kowloon East and Kwun Tong have all been turned into Grade A offices and their rent level has risen from below 10 per square foot to about 40 to 50 at present . It is expected that the rent level will continue to rise further thus rendering it impossible for many small art groups workshops and photo studios to rent an industrial unit for their operation
他當時已變賣所有資產，並表示所謂藝術，只是讓人進行情感交流的東西，僅此而已。
Having sold all his assets then he commented that arts were nothing but the means for exchanges of affection between different people and that was all
香港的歷史和本土文化，正是由19世紀演變至今，但我們今天看到甚麼呢？
The history and local culture of Hong Kong have evolved since the 19 century but what do we see today?
本地語言和方言已開始出現一套正式的政策，以期逐漸將廣東話消滅。
An official policy on the local language and dialect has already taken shape to gradually phase out Cantonese
任何藝術、文化的生存空間只講求兩個條件，那便是創作空間和生存條件，如不提供這兩個條件，還談甚麼文化呢？
When we talk about the room for survival of any forms of arts and culture only two conditions are involved namely space for creation and conditions for survival and without these two conditions what is there for us to talk about culture?
所以，現在便出現以馬議員為首的所謂正統文化、正統藝術，這是如何運作的呢？
Hence what we have now are something called orthodox culture and orthodox arts which Mr MA has taken the lead to create and how do they operate?
於是，以後大家便知道，即使在台灣畢業也不要說明，這會出事，因有人會進行審查。
We therefore realize that there should be no mention of the fact that someone graduated in Taiwan because checking and verification will be conducted and this will cause trouble
我們唯一可以依靠的僅存空間是學校和社區設施，但如果將來開放學校和社區場地作體育或文化用途時，仍要經過重重審查，讓那些甚麼校董會、有識之士或其他識時務人士負責批核，結局其實只會一樣。
We can now only rely on schools and community facilities which are the spaces left for us to use but the results will only be the same if applications are subject to repeated checking and verification when schools and community facilities are open for sports or cultural use in the future and school management committees people of insight or other persons who know how to trim the sail are responsible for vetting and approving such applications
這個議題的確值得我們討論，因為我們以往的觀感是，文化在現行政策下是缺席的，尤其是在香港。
This subject is worth our discussion because our long - standing impression is that culture is absent in the policy especially in Hong Kong
這點令我們感到非常奇怪。
This is very strange indeed
我相信局長也略有所聞，過去半年，我和我的團隊與一些文化組織很努力尋找不同的解決方法，因為我們在工廈真的已經被迫到牆角，以往我們有很多藝術界或從事文化創作的朋友，甚至教乒乓球的朋友都會在工廈找空間。
I believe the Secretary has heard that over the past six months I and my team together with some cultural groups have been working very hard to find different solutions because we are forced to a dead end in industrial buildings . In the past many arts practitioners or people pursuing cultural creation or even table tennis coaches tried to find room to operate in industrial buildings
早前，我出席了一個在工廈舉行的乒乓球典禮，他們不經不覺熬過了多個年頭，當中有不少青年人後來加入了香港不同的代表隊，他們是我們的寶藏。
I attended a table tennis ceremony held in an industrial building earlier . They have been operating there for a few years . Many of the young players have later joined different Hong Kong teams
當他們搜尋有關資料時，發覺香港原來有不少空置校舍及空置土地，而且往往閒置已久而未獲使用。
In their search of related information they found that Hong Kong has quite many vacant school premises and vacant sites and many of them have been left idle or unused
所以，我們在今年的財政預算案大力倡議推行"廢校翻新"，在這個過程中，我們要感謝發展局的同事，他們做到"身水身汗"，與我們到過很多地方。
Thus we strongly advised the Government to set aside funds for renovating vacant school premises in the Budget this year . We are obliged to the officers of the Development Bureau . They have worked very hard and joined us in our numerous site visits
其中一個令我最深刻的，當然是我之前發言提及的灣仔"衛斯理村"。
The most impressive example is certainly the Wesley Village in Wan Chai that I have mentioned before . You may probably miss the place if I do not tell you
不說不知，原來大隱隱於市，香港有一個這麼漂亮的地方，連倪匡先生的作品"衛斯理"也是源自這個地方。
There is such a beautiful gem hidden in the city . The place even gave NI Kuang the inspiration to write the series of novel titled The Great Adventurer Wesley
那裏有一個很完整的建築群，但由1985年最後一批居民遷出後便荒廢至今。
The place comprises a complex of building structures but the structures have been deserted since 1985 when the last group of residents moved out
為何有建築群也不使用？
Why have the building structures never been used since then?
因為它的斜坡難以維修，單單修葺斜坡估計已達億元計也不足為奇。
It is because the sloppy landscape poses maintenance difficulties . It is not surprising that the slope maintenance will cost some hundred million dollars
但是，我們當然寄望，在財政預算案的"廢校翻新基金"會令這個地方得以重見天日。
But we certainly hope that the fund reserved in the Budget for restoring idle school premises will restore this place
我想強調，台北有華山，台南有駁二，那麼香港呢？
We can find Huashan in Taipei and The Pier - 2 in Tainan but what can we find in Hong Kong?
香港的文創區這麼少，文化藝術團體想找一個空間也沒有，但原來我們有這麼多"寶藏"隱藏在閒置用地中。
Hong Kong has very little area dedicated for cultural creations and culture and arts groups cannot even find room to survive . But actually there are many treasures hidden in the idle sites
我須強調，使用閒置用地或空置校舍並不能完善解決工廈問題，但當空間不足時，我們便要想盡方法。
I must stress that using idle sites or vacant school premises cannot properly address the problems of industrial buildings . But when there is insufficient room we have to try every means to find a solution
代理主席，香港曾經有一個文化創作高峰，在1980及1990年代，這個城市有創造明星的能力，我們的明星不單來自歌影視界，還有文學作品及不同表演。
Deputy President there was a time when cultural creation reached its climax in Hong Kong . This city was the birthplace of stars in the 1980s and 1990s . They not only came from the music film and television sector but also from the literary sector and different performance sectors
到了2018年的今天，我們可憐得連少許空間也沒有。
But today in 2018 we are so pathetic that we hardly have any room for their development
有人質疑，工廈的情況不是那麼差，因為"藝術工作室"已列為"經常准許的用途"之一，按道理應該可以光明正大從事創作。
Some people say that the situation of industrial buildings is not so bad because Art Studio has been listed as an always permitted use in industrial buildings and people should be able to openly pursue creative work
但是，原來這是錯誤的，因為這項分區計劃大綱圖修訂是兩年前的事，在此改 劃前落成而未申請整幢活化的工廈，都需要申請豁免書。
But it turns out that this is not the case . Amendments were introduced to some Outline Zoning Plans two years ago . Any industrial buildings which have not applied for wholesale revitalization before the amendments are required to apply for a waiver to conduct these activities
這些資料說出來也沒有人知道，別以為申請豁免書便可以做，不好意思，原來申請的代價很高。
No one knows this information . Having a waiver still does not mean that you can pursue these activities . Sorry the price for applying for a waiver very high
一般而言，地政總署收到的短期豁免書申請，大都是涉及"一籃子"用途，當中可能涉及有關文化及藝術用途。
Generally speaking applications for short - term waivers received by the Lands Department mostly involve a basket of uses and some of the uses may be related to culture and arts
原來政府連工廈現時的數字都未能掌握或許它掌握，只是我們不知道但問題在於，這的確令申請人卻步，剛才提及的申請個案，涉及一個1,200平方公呎的單位，每年的豁免費是78萬元。
The Government does not even know the current number of industrial buildings or perhaps it knows just that we do not know But the problem is that this is very discouraging to the applicants . Take the application I just mentioned . The industrial building unit concerned is 1 200 sq ft in area and the annual waiver cost is 780,000
所以，放在眼前的問題是，《香港規劃標準與準則》訂明，是否需要有藝術場地，須由民政事務局局長作出評估及提供意見。
So the problem in front of us is that the need of arts venues as prescribed in the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines is to be determined by the assessment and advice of the Secretary for Home Affairs
所以，我懇請劉江華局長，因為這是美事，如果能夠促成美事，現在已經"水到"，還欠"渠成"，現在已經有"廢校翻新基金"，希望能夠敲定第一間棄置校舍，讓一些以往找不到空間的藝術家及創作者進駐使用。
I thus sincerely urge Secretary LAU Kong - wah to take one last step and accomplish a good deed . There is now a fund to restore idle school premises . We hope that the Secretary can select the first idle school premise so that artists and art creators who cannot find a place to operate can use the space there
這件事不能"只聞樓梯響"，我們要很努力、很積極、"身水身汗"去做這件事，並要各方面配合。
This issue cannot remain all talk but no action . We have to try very hard be proactive and sweat blood for it . And the cooperation of different parties is a must
雖然每間校舍也得來不易，因為不是每間都適合用作文化用途或我們想象到的工作，但我們相信，如果政府有心做，老實說，今年也可以做得到。
Although it is difficult to secure a school premise since every school premise can be used for cultural purposes or serve the function we think fit we believe that the Government can accomplish this within this year if it is determined to do so
所以，我希望未來，......
So I hope that in the future the Government can step up its effort
主席，再次感謝各位議員的寶貴意見。
President I thank Members again for presenting their precious views
政府一直有留意本地文化藝術和體育界對空間的需求，亦已做了不少協助業界的工作。
The Government has all along been keeping an eye on local cultural arts and sports sectors need for room for development and numerous initiatives were implemented to provide assistance to these sectors
議員提出，在私人物業內的空間，是許多香港文化藝術團體賴以生存的支柱，但是，受到本港房地產市場的影響，他們面對租金上升的難題。
Members made the point that the room available in private properties has become a pillar of support for the survival of many local cultural and arts groups but since the rental levels of private properties are subject to the impacts of Hong Kongs real estate market these groups are faced by the problem of rental hikes
政府明白這情況持續困擾藝術界，因此，本年已大大增加對香港藝術發展局的撥款達三成，以支持本地中小藝團，特別在租金方面。
Being mindful of such a persistent headache suffered by the arts sector the Government has drastically increased this years funding for the Hong Kong Arts Development Council by 30 % to support local medium and small arts groups in particular to relieve their rent burdens
政府亦積極探討釋放工廈的潛力，以便藝團能安全地善用工廈。
Moreover the Government actively explore ways to unleash the potentials of industrial buildings to facilitate safe utilization of those buildings by arts groups
民政事務局一直與發展局及各相關部門磋商，將與文化藝術相關的用途納入為工廈的經常准許用途，包括讓藝術家在工廈進行藝術製作的可行性。
The Home Affairs Bureau has been discussing with the Development Bureau and other relevant government departments the inclusion of uses relating to culture and arts as the uses always permitted in industrial buildings including the feasibility of allowing artists to engage in artistic productions inside industrial buildings
截至今年5月初，城市規劃委員會已修訂共20份的分區計劃大綱圖，把不涉及直接提供服務或貨品的"藝術工作室"列為工業地帶內的經常准許用途。
As at early May this year a total of 20 Outline Zoning Plans have been amended by the Town Planning Board to include Art Studio not involving direct provision of services or goods as uses always permitted in industrial buildings
私人遊樂場地契約用地提供了一定的設施，對香港的體育發展有所貢獻。
Certain facilities provided on the sites under Private Recreational Leases are conducive to the development of sports in Hong Kong
民政事務局已加強監管，確保承租人開放設施予合資格外界團體使用。
Meanwhile the Home Affairs Bureau has stepped up regulations to ensure the lessees do open up those facilities for use by eligible outside bodies
我們現正就私人遊樂場地契約政策檢討的建議進行公眾諮詢，要求承租人增加向外開放設施。
We are conducting public consultation on the review and suggestions on the Policy of Private Recreational Leases at the moment which proposes to require the lessees to further open up their facilities for outside bodies
有關議員提出開放學校設施，其實這已於去年開始實行。
Some Members have suggested that school facilities be opened up for use by the public . Actually this has already be in practice since last year
今年，我們更調整了資金的資助及使用收費，希望鼓勵更多學校及團體參與。
This year we have even adjusted the levels of capital funding and usage fees in an attempt to encourage participation by more schools and organizations
要拓展空間，香港以外的地方亦不容忽視。
When seeking to create room we should not neglect places other than Hong Kong itself
政府在本年度開始增加了每年5,000萬元的恆常開支，讓香港藝團和藝術家到香港以外、世界各地表演和舉辦展覽。
Starting from this year the Government increases the annual recurrent expenditure by 50 million to provide financial support for local arts groups and artists to travel outside Hong Kong to other places in the world for giving performances and holding exhibitions
以去年的統計數字為例，香港藝團前往了世界各地超過60個城市，接觸到10萬名觀眾，成為香港的文化大使。
For example as shown in last years statistics Hong Kong arts groups had travelled to more than 60 cities in the world getting in touch with an audience of 100 000 people . In other words they had been the cultural ambassadors of Hong Kong
我相信政府對香港文化藝術界的投入，必定可以為我們的藝術家增加表演機會，以及將香港的文化精粹帶到世界各地。
I trust that the Governments input in the cultural and arts sectors will definitely mean to increase opportunities for local artists to perform while showcasing the essence of Hong Kong culture in other parts of the world
政府亦着手向內地粵港澳大灣區城市的表演場地介紹香港的文化藝術節目，並提供支援，協助香港藝團到當地演出和交流。
The Government has also proceeded to introduce to the performing venues of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area Hong Kongs cultural and arts programmes while providing necessary support to help Hong Kong arts groups to give performances and conduct cultural exchanges there
最近，我們亦安排了香港的藝團、文化機構和政府部門的代表參加上月在深圳舉行的合作論壇，介紹內地表演場地營運者予香港藝團，讓他們互相認識，共同探討合作機會。
Recently we have also made arrangements for representatives of Hong Kong arts groups cultural institutions and government departments to attend a cooperation forum held in Shenzhen last month . In the meantime Hong Kong arts groups were introduced to the operators of performing venues on the Mainland so that they came to know one another and explored together the possibility of collaborations
在財政預算案通過後 兩個月，已有10個項目預計會在未來落地廣州、深圳、佛山、中山、東莞等城市。
This activity has brought about good outcomes that two months following the passage of the Budget there are already 10 projects in line to land on Guangzhou Shenzhen Foshan Zhongshan Dongguan and cities alike in the future
我們會總結經驗，繼續努力安排更多的推廣活動。
We will conclude past experience and keep making an effort to launch more promotional campaigns to this end
最後，政府在規劃新的體育及文化設施時，除了參考《香港規劃標準與準則》外，也會考慮其他相關因素。
Lastly the Government will take into account other factors apart from making reference to the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines in planning for the construction of new sports and cultural facilities
為了在未來更有效地滿足市民對體育設施的需求，我們已經委託顧問公司檢視各類體育設施的需求情況，以及探討如何修訂現行的《香港規劃標準與準則》。
To better meet the publics demand for sports facilities in the future we have commissioned a consultancy company to examine the demands for various sports facilities and explore ways to refine the existing Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines
在研究期間，顧問公司會收集體育界、區議會，以至市民的意見。
In the course of study the consultancy company will gather views from members of the sports sector District Councils as well as members of the public
主席，政府已循多個途徑支援文康團體，為市民增加不同場地的供應。
President the Government has been taking a multi - pronged approach to provide support for cultural and recreational groups so as to increase the supply of different venues for use by the public
我們會繼續工作，發掘更多可供使用的地方，使本地文化藝術及康體兩方面都得以發展，提升市民的生活質素。
We will keep making an effort to identify more venues available for use in order to facilitate the development of local culture arts recreation and sports with a view to enhancing Hong Kong peoples quality of living
主席，感謝馬逢國議員今天提出的議案及葉劉淑儀議員、陳淑莊議員、劉國勳議員和區諾軒議員提出的修正案。
President I would like to thank Mr MA Fung - kwok for moving the motion today in addition to Mrs Regina IP Ms Tanya CHAN Mr LAU Kwok - fan and Mr AU Nok - hin for putting forth their amendments
