關於另一宗個案4.2，專員表示經查核後，發現提交小組法官的通話內容有差異，並指執法人員執行其截取職務的表現既不理想，亦不專業。
As regards another case case 4.2 the Commissioner indicated that checking of the case revealed a discrepancy concerning the contents of calls in reports to the panel judge and pointed out that the performance of the law enforcement agency officer concerned in her intercepting duties was neither satisfactory nor professional
報告指出，去年共有18宗違規情況或異常事件或事故，較前年報告的11宗增加六成，其中有3宗均是透過抽選查核截取成果而揭發的。
As stated in the report there were a total of 18 cases of non - compliance irregularity or incidents last year 60 % higher than the 11 case as indicated in the report the year before . Among them three were discovered through selective examination of interception products
我相信，若有更多資源處理截取通訊監察，能夠發現或追查的個案會更多。
I believe if more resources are available for handling the interception of communications and surveillance more cases can be identified or traced
因此，從上述事件可見，假如專員沒有查核權、資源不足，有多少報告的內容有偏差，甚至是虛構，便無從得知。
Therefore it is evident in the aforesaid cases that if the Commissioner does not have the power to check nor sufficient resources there would be no way to find out how many discrepancies are contained in the reports or even if the contents are false
由於執法人員處理截取職務時，態度極其差劣，專員應該提高抽選數目，迫使執法機構以更專業的態度執行截取職務。
Given the extremely bad attitude of the law enforcement officers in the execution of their interception duties the Commissioner should raise the number of selection so as to urge the law enforcement agencies to perform interception duties in a more professional manner
監警會中有一些委員不過我首先要說，政治委任是很偏頗，這是我對於這個委員會的意見。
There are some members in IPCC―but I have to first say that political appointment is very biased and it is my view on IPCC
梁振英在他執政期間將監警會"大換血"，一律委任建制派人士，所以監察的力度立即轉弱。
LEUNG Chun - ying during his term of office reshuffled IPCC by appointing members purely from the pro - establishment camp thus immediately undermining the strength of monitoring
我以往擔任民間人權陣線召集人時有一個慣例，就是監警會每年均會約見"七一遊行"的主辦單位，聽取遊行人士對警方執法的意見，而且他們當然有翻看警方 在"七一遊行"期間執法的方式。
When I was the convenor of the Civil Human Rights Front CHRF as a practice IPCC would meet with the organizer of the 1 July procession which is CHRF to canvass the views of participants of the procession on law enforcement by the Police . And they certainly would review the manner of law enforcement by the Police during the 1 July procession
監警會有51名職員，當中16人直接負責處理個案。
IPCC has 51 staff members with 16 of them being directly in charge of handling of cases
加拿大安大略省警檢署的職員共有51人，30人負責調查和跟進個案。
The Office of the Independent Police Review Director of Ontario Canada has 51 staff members and 30 of them are in charge of case investigations and follow - ups
我想跟大家說，我們也要看看比例。
I wish to tell Honourable colleagues that we ought to look at the ratios too
香港警力約28,000人，英國有127,000人，而加拿大安省則有24,000人，較香港少。
The manpower of the Hong Kong Police stands at 28 000 persons while that of the United Kingdom is 127 000 persons and that of Ontario Canada 24 000 persons which is smaller than Hong Kong
我很希望新任的監警會主席梁定邦能夠檢視這個問題，研究是否需要檢討調查人員與警員的比例。
I really hope that the new Chairman of IPCC Anthony Francis NEOH can look into this problem and study if there is a need for review of the ratio between investigation personnel and police officers
監警會在去年發表的工作報告中，提到2017-2018年度通過了1,617宗須匯報投訴個案。
As stated in the annual report of IPCC published last year 1 617 reportable complaints were passed in 2017 - 2018
即使有關數字較去年同期上升，但我必須指出，實際上經監警會處理的投訴個案數字遠較2011年至2014年為少。
Despite a greater number compared to that of the same period last year I must point out that the number of complaints handled by IPCC was way smaller than that between 2011 and 2014
例如，在2011年至2012年期間，監警會處理共3,145宗，而2013年至2014年期間則處理共2,591宗。
For example between 2011 and 2012 when JAT Sew - tong was the Chairman IPCC handled a total of 3 145 cases whereas 2 591 cases were handled between 2013 and 2014
從數字上已明顯可見，監警會跟進投訴個案的力度，在郭琳廣任主席的時期較翟紹唐任主席時弱。
It is evident in the numbers that the strength of complaint handling of IPCC has weakened during the chairmanship of Larry KWOK as compared with that of JAT Sew - tong
有否計劃參考英國的做法，給予監警會進行獨立調查的權力呢？
Does it have plans to draw reference from the practice of the United Kingdom to grant IPCC the power to conduct independent investigations?
關於監警會的議題，我稍後會繼續討論。
As regards the issue of IPCC I will continue to discuss it later on
剛才第一輪我已發言15分鐘，現在再發言15分鐘，而其實我的心願是最好有數小時讓我發言。
I spoke for 15 minutes in the first round earlier . Now I am going to speak for another 15 minutes and it is actually my wish to be given several hours to speak
警方表示願意接納建議，但有何改善機制呢？
While the Police have indicated their willingness to accept recommendations what improvement mechanism has been put in place?
每年監警會也會提出改善建議，以改善在執法、搜身及警察通例方面的種種做法，請問警方有否積極回應監警會的改善建議，好讓警方日後可以向大家表示他們已因應監警會的意見和建議改善相關做法？
Every year IPCC will make recommendations on improvement to various practices in such aspects as law enforcement body searches and the Police General Orders . May I ask if the Police have positively responded to IPCCs recommendations on improvement so that they may tell us in future that they have improved such practices taking into account IPCCs views and recommendations?
現在講求問責，否則最終只會影響所有紀律部隊的形象。
Accountability is the order of the day now otherwise the image of all disciplined services will eventually be tarnished
坦白說，各個部門甚至是立法會議員，人誰無過，人人也要問責。
Frankly it is only natural for various departments or even Members of the Legislative Council to err and everyone has to be held accountable
因此，除了要有改善措施外，前線警員是否真的能處理相關個案有時亦很重要，而提供訓練則更為重要。
Hence in addition to improvement measures sometimes the actual ability of frontline police officers to handle such cases is also important and the provision of training is even more so
監警會亦定期發出通訊和年報跟進事項，但每次跟進的個案往往沒有下文。
IPCC also publishes periodic newsletters and annual reports to follow up on issues . But every case followed up will often see no further development
我認為既然大家有心有力，亦有公帑撥款，而監警會亦提出多項改善建議，便應持續跟進相關情況，亦應積極建立改善制度，才是監警會應有的目標。
In my view since they have both ends and means with public funding allocated and that IPCC has also made a number of recommendations on improvement IPCC should seek to continuously follow up on the situation and proactively set up an improvement system
當初設立監警會的原意在於監管警務人員的紀律行為，亦希望防止他們濫權。
The original intent of establishing IPCC back then was to regulate the discipline of police officers while seeking to prevent abuse of police power
第五，參考英國監警會，讓監警會可以把個案直接交予檢控機關，由檢控機關決定檢控與否。
Fifth reference should be drawn from the practice of IPCC of the United Kingdom so that IPCC can directly transfer cases to the prosecuting authorities for them to decide whether or not to initiate prosecution
政府今次應該汲取經驗，別再採用行政成本高昂、左審右查的"派錢"機制。
The Government should learn from this experience and cease to adopt such a disbursement mechanism which incurs a high administrative cost due to a multitude of checks
除了派發4,000元外，在職家庭及學生資助事務處主要負責在職家庭津貼計劃。
In addition to the disbursement of 4,000 the Working Family and Student Financial Assistance Office is mainly responsible for the Working Family Allowance Scheme WFAS
職津計劃的前身是低收入在職家庭津貼計劃，政府在2017年推出時聲稱可惠及20萬個家庭，即80萬人。
WFAS was formerly known as the Low - income Working Family Allowance Scheme . When it was launched in 2017 the Government claimed that it could benefit 200 000 households comprising 800 000 persons
根據政府的半年統計，去年4月至10月只錄得45,000宗申請，與目標相距甚遠。
According to the bi - annual survey conducted by the Government only 45 000 applications were recorded from April to October last year falling far short of the target
歸根究底，原因是職津計劃對申請人的工時和工資要求極其苛刻，加上程序繁複，無法惠及真正有需要的市民。
The root causes are the extremely harsh working hour and wage requirements imposed on applicants by WFAS . This coupled with the onerous procedures has rendered it unable to benefit people who are genuinely in need
現時的職津計劃是三級制，按照工時、工資，以及是否單親家庭劃分基本、中額和高額津貼，可謂架床疊屋，很多市民也說十分複雜。
The existing WFAS is a three - tier scheme under which a Basic Allowance a Medium Allowance and a Higher Allowance are granted based on working hours wages and whether applicants are single - parent households . Such a redundant structure is regarded by many as grossly complicated
此外，職津計劃下有一項兒童津貼，申請人如有年齡15歲或以下的子女便會獲得1,000元津貼。
Moreover a Child Allowance is granted under WFAS . Applicants with children aged 15 or below will receive an allowance of 1,000
申請人大多會將這筆錢用於子女的課外活動、補習或添置文具，但兒童津貼的最大問題是與工時掛鈎。
Applicants will mostly spend this sum of money on childrens extra - curricular activities tuition fees or stationery . But the biggest problem with the Child Allowance is it being tied to working hours
父母很多時因工時不足而不獲津貼，同時失去兒童津貼。
Given the inadequate hours worked parents are often not granted such allowances and also denied the Child Allowance
大家想想，這制度的設計不是很荒謬嗎？
Can we not tell that it is such a ridiculous system design?
基層學童應獲得更多支援和資源作多元發展，令不同階層的人士和兒童的生活不會有天淵之別。
Grass - roots students should be given more support and resources for diversified development so that the lives of people and children in different strata will not be worlds apart
我期望政府未來的預算案能夠從善如流，簡化申請程序。
I hope the Government will heed good advice for its future budgets and streamline the application procedures
如以"謹慎理財"之名左審右查，最終只會令有需要的人得不到支援，而市民亦會對"派錢"越來越反感。
A multitude of checks in the name of fiscal prudence will only end up leaving people in need with no support and members of the public will also grow increasingly unhappy with cash handouts
可能在一些情況當中，政府部門是這樣回覆的。
It was possible that in some instances that was the reply given to them by government departments
老實說，有些市民也說，如果政府真的想做到派發4,000元的安排，因而要進行一些審查，沒有問題，因為政為認為這是理財原則。
Frankly speaking some members of the public said that if the Government wanted to implement this arrangement of disbursing 4,000 and as a result it had to carry out assessments this would be fine as the Government believed in this principle of fiscal management
所以，代理主席，其實在在職家庭及學生資助事務處今次處理派發4,000元的安排上當然我亦都知道，可能這個部門的同事已經做得很辛苦，而我的評估亦應該不會錯老實說，這項派發4,000元的工作交給這個部門，我相信人手不太足夠。
Therefore Deputy Chairman on this arrangement of disbursing 4,000 implemented by the Working Family and Student Financial Assistance Agency this time―of course I also know that the officers in this department have worked very hard and I believe my assessment should be correct―frankly speaking I believe that in tasking this department with the exercise of disbursing 4,000 the manpower is not at all adequate
當然，現時政府已增加人手，但問題是，增加人手可能也不代表已經解決問題。
Of course the Government has now increased its manpower but the point is Increasing its manpower does not necessarily mean solving the problem
但是，我亦想藉此機會表達一個很重要的重點，就是政府在派發福利時，如果是想做一些恰當的審查或處理，我認為重點應該是將政府內的電腦系統、整個數據系統處理好。
However I also wish to take this opportunity to strike home a very important point that is when the Government grants benefits if it wants to carry out some appropriate checking or processing I believe the emphasis should be on refining the Governments computer system or its entire data system
如果有這樣的安排，根本上可以省卻很多麻煩，亦可免卻很多街坊須面對的麻煩及問題。
Had such a step been taken a lot of trouble would have been saved indeed and many members of the public would have been spared the trouble and problems they had to face
我認為這樣並不恰當，所以政府有必要做好在整個電腦系統及數據系統方面的安排。
I believe this is inappropriate so the Government has to make proper arrangements concerning the whole computer system and data system
可以說的話，總是能夠說的，我已經是第三次發言了。
When we have something to say we can always find the opportunity to do so . I am already speaking for the third time
雖然在這一節我準備就懲教署發言，但我也想順便談一談衞生署。
Although I am going to talk about the Correctional Services Department CSD in this session I would also like to speak on the Department of Health DH in passing
我不知道她轄下的同事是否曾經與她溝通，其實我也很關心邊境檢疫的情況，對此我是有些憂慮的。
I wonder if her subordinates have communicated with her . In fact I am quite concerned about quarantine at the boundary control points . I have some worries about this
舉例而言，有些負責邊境檢疫的前線員工告訴我，外判公司和直屬衞生署、由它聘用的公司的情況和待遇是有差異的。
For example some frontline officers responsible for quarantine at the control points have told me that the situations of and remunerations for outsourced service contractors and companies directly hired by DH differ
大家也很擔憂，因為由衞生署聘請的員工人數其實應該盡量多一些，盡量不要外判，而且外判員工有時候未必能夠提供足夠的服務。
We feel concerned because DH should as far as possible hire more staff and try not to outsource its work . Moreover sometimes outsourced workers may not be able to provide sufficient services
舉例而言，由於人手調配，某些崗位可能沒有足夠人手，因此，衞生署的直屬員工告訴我他們的責任其實很重，因為一些發燒或患有流感的人有機會因為缺乏監察而過關，屆時便會出事。
For example owing to manpower deployment there may not be enough staff at certain posts . Hence the direct employees of HD have told me that they actually bear a heavy responsibility because people having a fever or a flu may pass the checkpoints owing to a lack of monitoring efforts which may lead to trouble
當然，我希望可以與局長交流詳細情況，而我亦曾就此向衞生防護中心的同事反映，希望站崗人數不足或待遇差異的問題可以逐漸改善。
Certainly I wish to have an exchange with the Secretary on the details . I have also relayed this matter to the officers of the Centre for Health Protection hoping that the shortage of staff stationed at the posts and the difference in remunerations can be gradually improved
可是，在2018年，陳志全議員和我分別提出了3項修正案，包括要求削減懲教署署長的薪酬、削減壁屋監獄更換及提升閉路電視系統的撥款，以及削減懲教院所更換探訪室內的通話錄音系統的撥款。
Yet in 2018 Mr CHAN Chi - chuen and I proposed three amendments including the request for cutting the salary of the Commissioner of Correctional Services the one for cutting the funding for the replacement and enhancement of the closed - circuit television CCTV system in Pik Uk Prison and the one for cutting the funding for the replacement of intercom recording systems in visit rooms in correctional institutions
雖然今年沒有削減懲教署開支的修正案，但我相信很多議員對於懲教署可如何做得更好，也是有意見的，而我認為最適合辯論這項議題的人就是邵家臻議員。
Although there is no amendment seeking to reduce the expenditure of CSD this year I believe many Members have views on how CSD can do better . I think Mr SHIU Ka - chun is the most suitable man to debate this question
我認為應該讓邵家臻議員有機會參與這一節辯論。
In my view Mr SHIU Ka - chun should be given the opportunity to participate in this debate session
我們留意到，懲教署在綱領1監獄管理的預算突破了30億元，在2019-2020年度的預算達31億390萬元，而綱領2重新融入社會的預算則為11億2,460萬元，單看兩項綱領的預算比例，已經完全反映它是懲大於教的。
We have noticed that the expenditure estimate of CSD for Programme 1 Prison Management exceeds 3 billion reaching 3,103.9 million in 2019 - 2020 whereas that for Programme 2 Re - integration is 1,124.6 million . The ratio of the estimates for the two programmes alone can already fully reflect that it attaches greater importance to punishment than correction
何謂懲大於教呢？
What is meant by attaching greater importance to punishment than correction?
現時懲教署的發展有很多新噱頭，其中一項叫智慧監獄。
Now there are many new gimmicks in the development of CSD . One of them is called smart prison . The word smart is added to a lot of things
在這個年頭，一旦加上"智慧"二字，就是趕上大趨勢。
Nowadays once the word smart is added we would have jumped onto the bandwagon of the general trend
施政報告說要推行"智慧監獄"，就是指監獄利用生物特徵、維生指標的智慧手帶和採用面容辨識技術的影像分析系統，監控在囚人士。
The Policy Address mentioned the introduction of smart prisons . It refers to the use of biometrics smart wristbands indicating health signs and image analysis systems adopting the facial recognition technology in prisons to keep watch on prisoners
從這個趨勢可以見到，在未來數年，懲教署以科技為名推行的項目只會有增無減。
Telling from this trend the number of projects to be implemented by CSD in the name of technology in the coming years will only keep increasing
今年1月，保安事務委員會亦曾討論閉路電視系統，即我之前所說的"壁屋懲教所裝置電鎖保安系統"，項目810，涉及撥款2億1,940萬元。
In January this year the Panel on Security discussed the CCTV system ie . item 810 Installation of electric locks security system in Pik Uk Correctional Institution mentioned by me just now involving a financial provision of 219.4 million
在安裝具備面容辨識功能的電鎖保安系統後，職員便無須再以鎖匙開關閘門，當中包括安裝380道電動鎖閘門、約960部閉路電視攝影機、約480部對講機和電動機械鎖系統裝備等裝置。
After the installation of ELSS equipped with the facial recognition function the staff will have no need to use any keys to open or lock the gates . It includes the installation of about 380 gates with electric locks about 960 CCTV cameras around 480 intercoms and electro - mechanical locking devices
不過，有關撥款連同《2019年撥款條例草案》一併交由立法會批核，換言之，也是捆綁式處理，我沒有選擇，只能表達我對電鎖系統的意見。
However the relevant provision was included in the Appropriation Bill 2019 submitted to the Legislative Council for approval . In other words it is handled in a bundle . I do not have any other choice
我留意到，電鎖保安系統是由懲教署和機電工程署聯合設計的，不是單純對外採購，也沒有外國經驗和測試等可供參考。
I have noticed that ELSS was jointly designed by CSD and the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department . It is not a simple procurement from the outside . Neither is there any overseas experience or test available as reference
當我就財政預算案擬備問題時，在答覆編號SB183特別問到，一個如此獨特的"自家"系統，如何確保系統的穩定性，在遇上停電時會如何應變呢？
When I prepared questions in respect of the Budget I particularly asked in Reply Serial No . SB183 how they could ensure the stability of such a unique system created by themselves and how they would address emergencies in the event of power failure
豈料，懲教署在回覆的第一句便說："電鎖保安系統為高可靠性設計"，那麼，是怎樣高可靠性，如何應付故障呢？
Surprisingly the first sentence of the reply of CSD reads ELSS has a highly reliable design . How highly reliable is it and how will malfunction be handled?
監禁本身的懲罰是限制自由，但不包括限制在囚人士的人權和基本權利。
Punishment in prisons per se is restriction of freedom but it does not include restriction of human rights and the basic rights of prisoners
我過去一直關注懲教院所的保安設施有否過分干涉在囚人士的權利。
I have all along been concerned about whether the security facilities in correctional institutions have excessively interfered with the rights of prisoners
懲教署近年來也有數筆大額撥款，例如項目806、807、808和809，在4個院所加裝超過1,600部閉路電視。
In recent years CSD has received several provisions of large amounts . Examples are items 806 807 808 and 809 installing more than 1 600 additional CCTV cameras in four institutions
的確，現時有不少舊式閉路電視的視野狹窄，也有需要安裝閉路電視，否則不能攝錄有關情況，當大家有爭拗時便無法對證。
Indeed many of the existing old CCTV cameras have a narrower field of view and there is the need to install new ones . Otherwise the relevant situations cannot be recorded and when there is any dispute there will be no way to verify the truth
不過，加裝閉路電視能否覆蓋所有盲點？
However can the installation of additional CCTV cameras cover all the blind spots?
我曾經就一些濫權的"黑點"提問，例如無理地要求犯人"剝光豬"搜身並蹲下來接受檢查的指模房，在這些地方是否也會安裝閉路電視？
I have raised questions about the blind spots regarding abuse of power such as the fingerprint rooms where prisoners are unreasonably requested to undergo a strip search and kneel down to be checked . Will CCTV cameras be installed at these places too?
懲教署最重要的工作不是改善懲教文化嗎？
Is improving the culture of correctional services not the most important job of CSD?
否則，如果真的有懲教署職員避開閉路電視來執行私刑，你又如何對證呢？
Otherwise if a CSD officer really evades an CCTV and inflicts extrajudicial punishment how can it be proved?
去年，投訴調查組展開了81宗調查，較前年的123宗下跌三成。
Last year the Complaints Investigation Unit conducted 81 inquiries 30 % less than the number in the year before last which was 123 . Among the 98 cases referred to the Complaints Committee for consideration only two were substantiated . In other words such cases were few and far between
在交予投訴委員會審核的98宗個案中，只有2宗為"證明屬實"，換言之是很少，只是鳳毛麟角；有3宗為"未經舉報但證明屬實"；有1宗為"無法完全證實"，即證實了部分，又未能完全證實，當中牽涉6個懲教人員。
Three cases were substantiated other than reported . One was not fully substantiated . That means part of the case was proved to be true but not the whole case could be substantiated
我想強調的是，"證明屬實"的個案比例是不合理地少，而署方更不會在投訴結果未能成立時主動提供不成立的原因和理據，種種情況均說明香港的監獄與聯合國在1955年頒布的《囚犯待遇最低限度標準規則》的要求仍然有落差。
I wish to emphasize that the proportion of cases substantiated was unreasonably small . Moreover CSD would not take the initiative to provide the reasons and justifications for non - substantiation when a complaint was found non - substantiated . All such circumstances have illustrated that the prisons in Hong Kong still fall short of the requirements in the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners promulgated by the United Nations in 1955
今年，立法會資料研究組的資料顯示，香港的懲教架構欠缺監察制衡。
This year as indicated by the information of the Research Office of the Legislative Council the structure of correctional services in Hong Kong lacks checks and balances
在加拿大，懲教調查員辦公室屬於獨立機構，可主動啟動非投訴類的調查，投訴不一定須由當事人提出，並會將未能解決的投訴個案轉介聯邦公共安全部長。
In Canada the Office of the Correctional Investigator is an independent organization which can proactively initiate investigations into non - complaint cases . Complaints may not necessarily be lodged by the persons involved and complaint cases on which no resolution can be reached will be referred to the Minister of Public Safety . In Ireland complaints will be categorized according to their severity and handled by external investigators appointed
在愛爾蘭，會按投訴嚴重程度分類，並委聘外部調查員處理；愛爾蘭並設有獨立調查部門，由檢查人員以預約或突擊方式巡查監獄，巡查時間不少於2天，與在囚人士及管方會面，亦可以查閱文件。
An independent investigation department has also been put in place in Ireland . Inspectors will inspect the prisons by appointment or on a surprise basis . An inspection will last not less than two days during which they will meet with prisoners and the management and they can also have access to the documents
但是，懲教署獲批多於31億元作監獄管理，卻沒有處理如何建立監察機制的問題，連閉路電視會否安裝在有機會出現問題的地方亦未能回答。
Despite the provision of more than 3.1 billion for prison management CSD did not deal with the question of how to establish a monitoring mechanism . It cannot even answer whether CCTVs will be installed at places where problems may arise
"二零一九至二零年度需要特別留意的事項"包括："制定在囚人士更生策略及在囚人士重新融入社會計劃，並諮詢社區參與助更生委員會的意見"。
Matters Requiring Special Attention in 2019 - 20 includes develop rehabilitation strategies and re - integration programmes in consultation with the Committee on Community Support for Rehabilitated Offenders
根據答覆編號SB182，在2018-2019年度，接獲的申請宗數為59宗，獲批20宗只是20宗而已我亦留意到這個批准數字是5年以來最低，相比2015-2016年度有93宗申請，獲批41宗，當年的數字多出1倍。
SB182 the number of applications received in 2018 - 2019 was 59 of which 20 was approved―only 20―I have also noticed that this number of approvals is the lowest in five years . In comparison in 2015 - 2016 there were 93 applications of which 41 were approved . The number at that time was double
我奇怪為何獲批的個案一年比一年少。
I wonder why the number of applications approved has dropped year on year
即是當你巡視監獄時，如果有一個囚犯向你舉手，他很有機會要承擔後果，因為可能懲教人員或在場人士會覺得你標奇立異，而引致很多後果，是否有人探討過這些問題呢？
That means when you inspect a prison if a prisoner raises his hand to you it is very likely that he will have to bear some consequences because the CSD officers or people present may consider him doing something extraordinary in order to catch attention thus leading to many consequences . Has anyone ever looked into these questions?
很多人在接受懲罰時也很希望申請提早釋放，但他們要面對的困難不僅是與"大Sir"、委員會見面，亦不止是找僱主，找社會賢達寫推薦信，他們也要鼓起勇氣，重新融入一個未必很接納自己的社會這個每年只願意接納20位在囚人士更生、重投職場的社會，他們是面對這樣的制度。
Many people wish to apply for early release during their sentence but the difficulty faced by them is not only meeting the senior officers and the Board . It is not only looking for employers and seeking prominent persons in society to write reference letters . They also have to pluck up their courage to reintegrate into a society which may not be very inclusive to them―each year this society is only willing to accept 20 prisoners to rehabilitate and rejoin the workforce
我衷心希望懲教署可以考慮增加綱領2的預算，但更重要的是須多花時間在協助在囚人士更生的工作上。
They are facing such a system . I sincerely hope that CSD can consider increasing the estimate for Programme 2 . But more importantly it must spend more time on assisting prisoners in rehabilitation
主席，我首先在這裏衷心感謝各位立法會議員就土地方面的不同議題提出了大量寶貴意見。
President first of all I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Members of the Legislative Council for making so many valuable suggestions on various land issues
政府早前宣布全面接納土地供應專責小組在去年年底提出的建議，我們有決心推行一套更有力量及以願景帶動的土地供應策略，持續及大幅地增加土地供應。
The Government earlier announced its full acceptance of the recommendations tendered by the Task Force on Land Supply Task Force at the end of last year . We are determined to implement a more robust and visionary land supply strategy to sustain and significantly increase land supply
專責小組建議的8個值得優先研究和推行的土地供應選項，我們認為全部應該做，並且應該盡量加快步伐去做。
In our view we should take forward all the eight land supply options worthy of priority study and implementation as recommended by the Task Force and should expedite our efforts by all means
不少議員關心交椅洲人工島的1,000公頃填海項目。
Quite a number of Members are concerned about the 1 000 - hectare reclamation project for the construction of Kau Yi Chau artificial islands
