TABLING OF PAPERS The following papers were laid on the table under Rule 21(2) of the Rules of Procedure:

No. 93 ─ Report of changes made to the approved Estimates of Expenditure during the fourth quarter of 2012-13 Public Finance Ordinance: Section 8

Report No. 16/12-13 of the House Committee on Consideration of Subsidiary Legislation and Other Instruments Report of the Bills Committee on District Councils (Amendment) Bill 2013

ORAL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS (Pursuant to the decision of the House Committee and the choice made by the Members concerned, six oral questions will not be asked at this meeting and will be deferred to the Council meeting next following the completion of all the proceedings on the Appropriation Bill 2013.) WRITTEN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Time Taken for Visitors Entering Hong Kong to Go Through Immigration Clearance 7. MR YIU SI-WING (in Chinese): President, some members of the tourism industry have relayed to me that the waiting time for visitors entering Hong Kong to go through immigration clearance at various boundary control points (BCPs) is too long. The situation is especially appalling during peak hours of inbound and outbound traffic in the morning, when the waiting time is as long as one to three hours in general. This has seriously tarnished visitors' impression about Hong Kong and is detrimental to the development of Hong Kong's tourism industry. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:


10593

(a) of the average current waiting time for visitors entering Hong Kong to go through immigration clearance via Lo Wu, Lok Ma Chau, Lok Ma Chau Spur Line and Shenzhen Bay BCPs during the morning peak hours on the three types of days (namely weekdays, weekends and holidays), and the details of Immigration Department (ImmD)'s manpower and the average number of vacant immigration counters during such peak hours (broken down by the three types of days and the aforesaid BCPs); and

(b) whether, with its existing manpower and facilities, the ImmD can

implement measures to shorten the waiting time for inbound visitors during peak hours of inbound traffic; if it can, of the targeted waiting time to be shortened; if not, the reasons for that?

SECRETARY FOR SECURITY (in Chinese): President, Hong Kong is a very popular international trade and tourism hub that handles voluminous passenger throughputs at various immigration control points everyday. Since 2007, the number of arriving visitors has been growing rapidly from 28.2 million to 48.62 million (an average annual growth of 14.5%), of which the number of Mainland visitors increased from 15.26 million to 34.66 million (an average annual growth of 25.4%). It is envisaged that the number of visitors will continue to rise in the coming years, with increasing pressure on the handling capacity of control points. The ImmD has all along adopted a number of mitigating measures to provide efficient immigration clearance service to the travelling public. My replies to various parts of the question are as follows:

(a) In the past five years, the pledge of "clearing 95% of visitors within

30 minutes" at land BCPs was met. The compliance situation in 2012 at major land BCPs is as follows:

Control Point Percentage of visitors cleared within 30 minutes

Lo Wu 99.03% Lok Ma Chau Spur Line 95.05% Shenzhen Bay 97.09% Lok Ma Chau 97.30%


The ImmD does not have a breakdown of the waiting time for visitors on specific dates or times.

(b) Subject to the passenger traffic situation during different periods of

time, the ImmD makes timely arrangement to ease passenger flow through flexibly deploying manpower and arranging staff to work overtime as necessary so as to put more counters in service for clearing passengers during peak hours.

At the same time, the ImmD has been streamlining its workflow and

making good use of information technology to implement various immigration convenience measures, such as the extension of e-Channel service to frequent visitors, simplified clearance procedures for cross-boundary students and non-stamping immigration clearance for visitors, and so on, to improve the immigration clearance efficiency to cope with the continuous increase in passenger traffic.

Moreover, improvement works at the Lok Ma Chau and Man Kam

To Control Points are expected to complete within this year. By then, a passenger hall with additional 13 e-Channels will be put into operation at the Lok Man Chau Control Point, whereas seven additional e-Channels will be installed at the Man Kam To Control Point to facilitate passenger clearance. By the end of this year, the number of e-Channels available for visitors at various control points will increase to 100. The ImmD will continue to monitor passenger traffic situation and gradually increase the number of e-Channels for use by visitors at other control points. New cross-boundary facilities being developed, including the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and Liantang/Heung Yuen Wai Control Point, will come into operation in coming years. They will help ease the pressure of passenger traffic at current control points.

Separately, the ImmD has begun work on developing the New

Immigration Control System so as to cope with the perennial growth of passenger traffic in the coming years. The new system will introduce further automation in the immigration clearance procedures, including face recognition technology and self-service


10595

departure e-Channels, and is expected to be launched in 2016. The handling capacity at control points will then be raised significantly and visitors' waiting time at different periods of time will be shortened.

Fire at Tai Shing Street Market 8. MS STARRY LEE (in Chinese): President, on 20 April this year, a Number 3 alarm fire broke out at Tai Shing Street Market in Wong Tai Sin. Not until seven hours later was the blaze put out. Apart from the dry goods area on the first floor of the market being severely burnt down, the stalls on the ground and second floors were also affected. As a result, the market had to be closed down temporarily, with more than 400 stalls being affected. During the closure of the market, the residents of Wong Tai Sin District who are long-time patrons of the market have no alternative but to go elsewhere to buy food, which has affected their daily lives. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:

(a) of the progress of the rehabilitation works of the aforesaid market;

when the repairs to the ancillary public facilities (for example, escalators) will be completed; when the market can resume full operation; whether the relevant inspection, assessment and rehabilitation works can be expedited so as to enable the stalls to resume business as soon as possible in a safe environment provided with the necessary facilities; if so, of the details; if not, the reasons for that;

(b) whether any temporary measures are in place to facilitate members

of the public to buy food before the market is fully rehabilitated; and (c) whether it knows the total pecuniary loss suffered by the traders due

to the fire; whether the Government has provided assistance to help the stalls resume business (including granting a rent-free period and, where necessary, arranging the relocation of stalls to nearby markets on a short-term or long-term basis); if it has, of the details; if not, the reasons for that?


SECRETARY FOR FOOD AND HEALTH (in Chinese): President, in the wake of the Number 3 alarm fire at Tai Shing Street Market in Wong Tai Sin in the early morning of 20 April this year, we had to close the ground, first and second floors of the market right away. Immediately after the fire, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) took remedial actions, in conjunction with the Architectural Services Department (ArchSD) and the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD). Having ascertained the extent to which the market was affected by the fire and the areas that required restoration, we put emergency repairs in action. At the same time, the FEHD stayed in touch with the trade association concerned and stall operators affected on matters related to resumption of business in the market. My reply to the various parts of the question is as follows:

(a) and (b) Starting from 21 April, the Fire Services Department had uplifted the

temporary closure of Tai Shing Street Market by phases so that staff of the relevant departments could gain access to the premises for the purpose of carrying out assessments and follow-up actions. The FEHD has, in collaboration with the ArchSD and the EMSD, conducted inspections in the market and examined the safety of the building forthwith.

After obtaining confirmation from site inspections that the market

was safe, we allowed all stalls on the ground and second floors and some of the stalls on the first floor of the market to resume operation. These stalls sell fresh provision like fish, meat, poultry, siu mei and lo mei, vegetables, fruits, and cooked food.

Stalls in the dry goods zone that is located on the first floor of the

market are yet to resume operation. They include stalls that are close to where the fire broke out. The departments concerned are now moving full steam ahead with works for restoring power supply and repainting the premises of the stalls close to where the fire broke out. These stalls are expected to be ready for resumption of business in mid-May upon completion of the repair works. About 100 stalls in the immediate vicinity of the fire were badly damaged. In these cases, stabilization and repair works of more significant scale are required and the departments concerned would also have to


10597

conduct detailed safety checks. Hence, it is unlikely that the stalls in question would be able to resume business in the short run. After the scope and schedule of the repair works are confirmed, the FEHD would keep the stall operators in the picture.

For stall operators who are unable to resume business in the short

run, the FEHD is planning to temporarily relocate them to the vacant stalls on the first floor of Tai Shing Street Market. The FEHD will discuss the detailed arrangements with them in due course. According to the present estimate and subject to suitable retrofitting, the existing vacant stalls could accommodate the vast majority of the affected stall operators.

There are two passenger lifts, two cargo lifts and four sets of

escalators in Tai Shing Street Market. During the fire fighting operations, the lift and escalator pits were badly flooded, causing serious damage to most of the mechanical parts. Among these, one passenger lift, one cargo lift and two sets of escalators have resumed normal service after emergency repair works. Repair works for the remaining lifts and escalators are now underway. We hope to resume service as soon as possible.

(c) As and when the temporary closure of the market is lifted, the FEHD

has deployed additional manpower to assist stall operators in taking stock of the damages to their stalls and goods. In parallel, the FEHD and the relevant departments are pressing ahead with the repair works for early resumption of business. At this stage, the Government is unable to assess the full extent of loss caused by the fire.

As mentioned above, the FEHD plans to temporarily relocate the

stall operators who are unable to resume business in the short run to the vacant ones on the first floor of Tai Shing Street Market. For stall operators whose business is suspended or affected due to the repair works in the market, the FEHD will offer rental concessions in accordance with established arrangement.

In view of this incident, the FEHD will step up enforcement actions

against the practices of stall operators who store articles at the top of


their stalls as well as other acts that are obstructing fire escape or the functioning of fire service installations, with a view to reducing fire risk in public markets.

Rodent Infestation in Hong Kong 9. DR PRISCILLA LEUNG (in Chinese): President, regarding rodent infestation in Hong Kong, will the Government inform this Council:

(a) given that the Rodent Infestation Rates (RIRs) released regularly by

the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) have been used for 13 years, whether the authorities will review the relevant mechanism to ensure that RIRs can accurately reflect the rodent infestation situation in the various districts;

(b) of the specific results of the First Phase (from 28 December 2011 to

24 February 2012) and Second Phase (from 30 July to 28 September 2012) of the Anti-rodent Campaign 2012 held by the FEHD; given that the territory-wide RIR stood at 2.4% in 2012, which was higher than the RIR in 2010 (1.5%) and 2011 (1.7%) recorded before the Anti-rodent Campaign was held, whether it has assessed if the Campaign was ineffective; whether the authorities will adjust the contents and strategy of this year's Anti-rodent Campaign in the light of the experience and results of the Anti-rodent Campaign 2012;

(c) given that Kowloon City District's RIR had dropped significantly

from 5% in 2009 to 0.9% and 1.4% respectively in the subsequent two years but rose back to 5.6% in 2012, which was even the second highest RIR across the territory, whether the authorities have assessed the factors leading to the deterioration of the rodent infestation problem in the district last year; whether the authorities will step up the various anti-rodent measures in the light of the rising RIR of the district; if so, of the details; if not, the reasons for that; and

(d) whether the authorities have exchanged experience and knowledge

in anti-rodent work with the municipal staff from the Mainland or


10599

other overseas cities in the past two years; if so, of the subject matters of such exchanges; whether the authorities will further strengthen the relevant exchange activities (including inviting Mainland and overseas experts to Hong Kong to participate in anti-rodent work and assist in training the staff concerned); if so, of the specific plans; if not, the reasons for that?

SECRETARY FOR FOOD AND HEALTH (in Chinese): President, effective rodent prevention and control hinge on close collaboration between the community and the Government, as well as sustained efforts over time. Since 2000, the FEHD has been making use of the RIR and the trend movement of the RIR (which reflects the general situation of rodent infestation in individual districts) as the basis for devising anti-rodent measures and assessing the overall efficacy of rodent prevention and disinfestation work. When conducting rodent prevention and control operations, the FEHD makes appropriate adjustments to the work in individual districts from time to time, taking into account reports from front-line staff, the views of the relevant District Council and the local community, as well as the district RIR. My reply to the various parts of the question is as follows:

(a) The FEHD conducts RIR surveys in rodent-infested areas or areas

likely to have rodent problems, in particular areas with bustling human activities. The FEHD sets baits in selected localities annually to gather statistics on the ratio of baits bitten by rodents for making meaningful comparison of RIRs under the same benchmark. Changes to the RIR readings in individual districts over time facilitate our assessment of progress made and the overall efficacy of our work, as well as provide an informed basis for allocation of resources.

An internationally adopted RIR does not at present exist. When

devising the RIR, the FEHD has made reference to overseas practices and the actual situation of Hong Kong. The FEHD has, in the course of time, tried out different methods. Having regard to a number of factors including our local climate, environmental condition and the habits of domestic rodents, the FEHD has come to the conclusion that adopting the ratio of baits gnawed by rodents as


the infestation rate is the most suitable method for Hong Kong. As there have not been major changes in the environment or rodents' habits in Hong Kong in recent years, it is our considered view that the current survey approach remains relevant and appropriate.

The Administration will continue to keep in view rodent prevention

and control (including rodent infestation assessment) methods adopted by the World Health Organization and major cities around the world.

(b) In the past three years, the RIR for Hong Kong as a whole stayed at

the low end of the scale, namely 1.5%, 1.7% and 2.4% respectively. Notwithstanding a slight increase in the overall RIR in 2012, it compares favourably with the average RIR (of around 4.1%) in the past five years, indicating that rodent infestation in the public areas of Hong Kong remains generally under control.

The FEHD has been organizing anti-rodent campaigns on an annual

basis to remind the public of the importance of rodent prevention and control. In 2012, the anti-rodent campaign was conducted in two phases in the 18 districts of Hong Kong, bearing the theme of "Eliminate Rodent Nuisance ― Take Preventive Measures". Target areas mainly included markets/market buildings, hawker bazaars, typhoon shelters and rear lanes adjacent to food premises, and other rodent-infested locations and their vicinity. Apart from combating rodent infestation in individual districts, the anti-rodent campaigns also aim at enhancing public knowledge and awareness in prevention and control of rodents. During the campaigns, apart from stepping up anti-rodent operations in collaboration with relevant government departments, the FEHD distributes promotional leaflets, displays posters and organizes talks to promote anti-rodent knowledge and awareness, with a view to fortifying public education in this respect. When planning anti-rodent campaigns, the FEHD makes appropriate adjustments to the overall strategy in the light of the actual state of rodent infestation across the territory and in different districts, as well as the effectiveness of previous anti-rodent campaigns.

Given the high adaptability and reproductive rate of rodents, the state

of rodent infestation in individual districts may vary with changes in


10601

environmental hygiene conditions and the level of public participation in rodent prevention and control work. In view of this, the FEHD will continue to roll out anti-rodent campaigns to remind members of the public of the importance of rodent prevention and control. Apart from organizing anti-rodent campaigns, the FEHD will continue to take dedicated rodent prevention and control measures and actions in districts with relatively high RIRs.

(c) The state of rodent infestation in individual districts may vary with

changes in environmental hygiene conditions and the level of public participation in rodent prevention and control work. As rodents are very adaptive and have a high reproductive rate, active participation of the public is indispensable if anti-rodent work is to achieve optimal results. As for the Kowloon City District, the FEHD has strengthened the rodent prevention and control work as well as the general cleansing work in the district, for example, by stepping up inspection and cleansing of rear lanes adjacent to food premises so as to reduce the food sources and hiding places of rodents. The FEHD has also enhanced publicity and education efforts in the district to remind residents and commercial tenants of the importance of adopting anti-rodent measures. The FEHD will continue to maintain close liaison with the Kowloon City District Council to seek their support in encouraging active local participation in rodent prevention and control work to sustain anti-rodent efforts.

(d) The FEHD shares experience with relevant organizations of other

countries/cities from time to time. In the past two years, the FEHD has met with Mainland experts, including experts of the Guangdong Field Epidemiology Training Programme, staff members of the Jiangmen Office for Disease Control and Prevention and Guangdong Pest Control Association, for the purpose of sharing with each other best practices in rodent prevention and control. The FEHD staff have also attended international conferences in the Mainland and overseas cities, including Haikou, Krakow in Poland, Adelaide in Australia and Boston in the United States, for sharing experience with overseas experts and keeping ourselves abreast of latest advances in rodent disinfestation methodology.


Improvement to Smart Identity Cards 10. MR MICHAEL TIEN (in Chinese): President, it has been almost a decade since the launch of smart identity (ID) cards in June 2003. Some members of the public have pointed out that with the advancement in technology, the encryption and anti-forgery technologies adopted for smart ID cards have become outdated. They are concerned that the personal data of members of the public might be leaked. Moreover, a total of some 400 forged smart ID cards were seized by the authorities in 2011 and 2012, reflecting that the risk of smart ID cards being forged by law-breakers should not be overlooked. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:

(a) whether the authorities have conducted any review on the use of

smart ID cards, including the quality of the materials, security features of the computer chip, as well as the development and application of other functions, and so on; if they have, of the outcome; whether the authorities have kept abreast of more advanced technology so as to improve the current design of smart ID cards; if they have, of the details; and

(b) given that for those persons who were issued smart ID cards in the

early stage, their photos on the ID cards may look significantly different from their facial appearances at present, whether the authorities have plans to arrange for replacing the ID cards of members of the public by second generation smart ID cards in order to update their photos thereon, so that smart ID cards can effectively serve their functions as identification and travel documents; if they have, of the implementation timetable and progress of the preparation work?

SECRETARY FOR SECURITY (in Chinese): President, since the launch of the HKSAR smart ID card in June 2003, more than 10 million smart ID cards have been issued by the Immigration Department (ImmD). Under section 7A(1) of the Registration of Persons Ordinance (Cap. 177), any person who without lawful authority or reasonable excuse uses or has in his custody or possession a forged ID card shall be liable on conviction to a maximum penalty of a fine of $100,000 and 10 years' imprisonment.


10603

The existing smart ID card has a number of anti-forgery features, such as optical variable ink, multiple laser image, kineprint with colour-changing images when viewed at different angles, and high-quality laser engraved photograph on the polycarbonate card body, all of which make it difficult to alter or counterfeit the card. The chip of the smart ID card is made of durable alloy and is designed with a number of security measures that could effectively prevent various forms of intrusion. Moreover, the chip is designed with segregated compartments to separate immigration applications from other value-added non-immigration functions and access to chip data is protected by various security controls. There is no evidence to show that personal data security is a problem, nor is there an increasing trend in the number of forged smart ID cards intercepted by the ImmD. Reply to the two parts of the question is as follows:

(a) and (b) The quality of card material, data security function of the chip and

current arrangements for development and applications of the smart ID card are effective. Smart ID card is made of polycarbonate, a durable material strongly resistant to environmental influences as well as mechanical, chemical and thermal stress. Besides, the ImmD has put in place a very strict testing system on the quality of smart ID card so as to ensure it meets the required standard of quality. With regard to chip security, the data stored in the chip is protected by security means and can only be read by authorized government departments with the aid of specific card readers. If the smart ID card is embedded with Hong Kong Post e-Cert, that e-Cert can only be activated by the e-Cert PIN kept by the holder. As to the development and applications of smart ID card, the data stored in the chip of the card can apply not only in immigration clearance service (for example, e-channels of the Automated Passenger Clearance System and the Automated Vehicle Clearance System), but also in various value-added non-immigration applications, including e-Cert, library card, facilities booking at the Leisure Link self-service kiosks and the eHealth system, and so on. Members of the public may opt among these applications according to their needs.


Meanwhile, the ImmD is planning to conduct a study on the current Smart Identity Card System to review the adequacy of the existing system and assess the need to introduce more advanced technologies to enhance the quality of materials, data security, anti-forgery features and biometric identification technology, as well as other functional developments and applications. At present, there is no concrete plan to replace the current smart ID card with the second generation smart ID card.

Promotion of Golf as a Popular Sport 11. MR CHUNG KWOK-PAN (in Chinese): President, in recent years, a number of golf driving ranges have closed down/are facing closure due to resumption of land by the Government for other uses. Following the closure of the golf driving range at the harbourfront site in Tsueng Kwan O at the end of last year, the site of the driving range in Cheung Sha Wan will also be resumed in the near future for public housing development. Furthermore, the site of the golf driving range at Lok Wo Sha, Ma On Shan may also be resumed a few years later. Some local golfers and people engaged in the sport have relayed to me their concern that the aforesaid situation will impede the development of golf as a sport in Hong Kong. In particular, with the resumption of the site of the golf driving range in Cheung Sha Wan, there will not be any golf driving range in the urban area, and it will be more inconvenient for members of the public to play golf as compared with the past. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:

(a) given that quite a number of members of the public from the middle

class play golf in recent years and golf has been listed as one of the events of the Olympic Games, and golf is therefore no longer an activity for the rich but a popular sport, whether the Government will allocate more resources, including those for publicity work and provision of land, and so on, to facilitate the development of the sport; if it will, of the details; if not, the reasons for that;

(b) whether the Government will consider identifying a site in the urban

area for constructing a permanent golf driving range, so as to encourage members of the public to participate in the sport;


10605

(c) given that some operators of golf driving ranges have suggested that the Government allocate, upon the resumption of the site of the golf driving range in Cheung Sha Wan, another site in the urban area on short-term tenancy for constructing a golf driving range, of the progress of the Government in following up the proposal; and

(d) whether the authorities will allocate a site in the Multi-purpose

Sports Complex (MPSC) at Kai Tak (which is under initial planning) near the harbourfront areas of the Victoria Harbour, or in the proposed Metro Park in Kai Tak, for constructing a golf driving range, so as to enhance the promotion of golf as a sport and increase the attractiveness of the harbourfront areas on both sides of the Victoria Harbour?

SECRETARY FOR HOME AFFAIRS (in Chinese): President,

(a) The Government supports the development of golf by allocating

resources through various channels. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) organizes golf training courses, fun days and competitions in districts and through the School Sports Programme to provide more golfing opportunities for members of the public. The LCSD also provides subvention to the Hong Kong Golf Association (HKGA) through the Sports Subvention Scheme to support the promotion and development of the sport. The subvention granted to the HKGA has increased year by year, and the relevant provisions for the past two and this financial year are as follows:

Year Total amount of subvention ($'000)

2011-2012 1,450 2012-2013 1,560 2013-2014 1,750

Programmes organized by the HKGA include participation in

international sporting events and squad training, local competitions, training of officials, and attendance at sports conferences. Through the "M" Mark Scheme, the Government also helps the HKGA host


the Hong Kong Open Championship (Golf), which is an international event that attracts wide attention and media coverage.

(b) The LCSD provides four golf driving ranges for public hire ― two

outdoor facilities at Tuen Mun Recreation and Sports Centre and Wo Yi Hop Road Sports Ground, and two indoor golf driving ranges at Shun Lee Tsuen Sports Centre and Island East Sports Centre. The golf driving range at Tuen Mun Recreation and Sports Centre provides 91 driving bays, and the one at Wo Yi Hop Road Sports Ground is equipped with 15 driving bays. The two indoor golf driving ranges at Shun Lee Tsuen Sports Centre and Island East Sports Centre each provide three driving bays. The utilization of these four facilities has not reached full capacity. Apart from the golf driving ranges provided by the LCSD, there are other golf driving ranges operated by non-profit-making and commercial organizations that are also available for public use.

The Government will monitor the development of golf and the

supply of and demand for golf driving ranges, and take into account the views of community stakeholders, the District Councils and "national sports associations" in particular, on the development of sports facilities. Currently, the Government has no plans to build another golf driving range in the urban area.

(c) In response to golf driving range industry's request for the provision

of short term usable land in the urban area, the Lands Department is trying to identify suitable sites and will liaise with the industry. As a general practice, the Lands Department will consider making available vacant Government land which is suitable for temporary use and has not been designated for a specific use or is not required for development in the near future through short-term tenancies in order to promote the effective use of land.

(d) As regards the MPSC at Kai Tak, we are gauging views on the best

mix of facilities for the complex. However, due to the limited amount of land available, we do not expect that the facilities at the MPSC will be able to cater for each and every sport.

Fire Safety in Buildings 12. IR DR LO WAI-KWOK (in Chinese): President, in April this year, a Number 4 alarm fire broke out in an upper floor unit of a building, but the fire hydrant in that building malfunctioned, which had increased the difficulties of fire-fighting work. Some members of the public have pointed out that this fire has highlighted the existence of quite a number of potential fire safety hazards in buildings in Hong Kong. Regarding fire safety in buildings in Hong Kong, will the Government inform this Council:

(a) given that section 8 of the Fire Service (Installations and Equipment)

Regulations (Cap. 95 sub. leg. B) provides that the owner of any fire service installation (FSI) or equipment which is installed in any premises shall have such FSI or equipment inspected by a registered contractor at least once in every 12 months, whether the Fire Services Department (FSD) has considered conducting a comprehensive review of whether such a requirement can ensure that the relevant inspection work is conducted properly, so as to keep FSIs or equipment in efficient working order at all times; if it has, of the details; if not, the reasons for that; and

(b) given that the FSD published a consultation document in 2007 and

2011 respectively proposing the establishment of a new registration mechanism for the third party engaged in fire safety certification (that is, registered fire engineers (RFEs)) so as to implement the Third Party Fire Safety Certification Scheme, and the second round of consultation had already ended on 16 January 2012, whether the FSD has formulated a policy on the registration of fire engineers and the implementation of the Third Party Fire Safety Certification Scheme based on the consultation outcome as it had undertaken to do so in the consultation document; if it has, of the details; if not, the reasons for that?

SECRETARY FOR SECURITY (in Chinese): President,

(a) In accordance with the Fire Service (Installations and Equipment)

Regulations (Cap. 95B), an owner of FSIs/equipment shall make sure that the FSIs/equipment can function properly and are inspected


at least once a year by a registered FSI contractor, who shall forward a copy of the annual inspection certificate to the FSD within 14 days after completion of the inspection. The FSD will take enforcement actions against FSIs/equipment owners who fail to arrange inspections of their FSIs/equipment on time and against contractors who file a false or misleading certificate, and so on. The FSD also conducts random check on the annual inspection certificates and takes appropriate follow-up actions against problems shown on the certificates, such as issuing a warning letter to the building concerned, and so on.

Currently, there are legislation and administrative measures for the

Government to monitor FSI contractors. When a registered FSI contractor is convicted by the Court for contravening a regulation, the FSD will refer the case to the Registered FSI Contractors Disciplinary Board for disciplinary inquiry under the Fire Service (Installation Contractors) Regulations (Cap. 95A). Depending on the seriousness and circumstances of the case, the Disciplinary Board may reprimand the concerned contractor or remove him from the list of registered FSI contractors.

In addition, the FSD makes use of an administrative measure, that is,

a demerit point system, to monitor the performance of FSI contractors. The FSD will record demerit points corresponding to the fault and contravention committed by the contractor. It will then adjust its frequency of inspection on FSIs and equipment maintained by such contractors in accordance with the demerit point record. This is to ensure that contractors with unsatisfactory record will be monitored more closely in order to ensure that their service level meets the required standard.

Under the existing regulatory system, the legislation, administrative

measures and fire safety inspections are complementary of one another. Hence, the FSD does not see a need to modify the current system. Nonetheless, it will closely monitor the performance of FSI contractors and take appropriate follow-up actions to strengthen the monitoring on those with unsatisfactory records.

(b) The introduction of Third Party Fire Safety Certification refers to the FSD's plan to introduce the RFE Scheme, under which a licence applicant may opt to engage an RFE for provision of fire safety-related services, instead of using those services provided by the FSD. Under the Scheme, a qualified engineer may register with the FSD as an RFE. Upon successful registration, the RFEs may provide fire safety-related services to licence applicants (such as restaurants and cinemas), which include the conduct of fire risk assessments, formulation of fire safety requirements, certification of compliance of the FSD's requirement for FSIs/equipment and/or ventilating systems in the premises, as well as the issue of Fire Safety Certificates for those licence applicants. These steps could help to shorten the time required for obtaining the licence and meet the needs of the trades, so as to achieve business facilitation. After the introduction of the RFE Scheme, the FSD would continue to provide fire safety-related services so that licence applicants would have a choice on the service provider basing on their needs.

The FSD conducted consultation exercises in 2007-2008 and

2011-2012. The majority of the trade supported the proposed RFE Scheme. In light of the views of the trade and to assess the possible impact of the RFE Scheme on the trade, the FSD has commissioned a consultant in mid-2012 to conduct a business impact assessment, including the assessment on the potential supply of RFEs and their service charges. The FSD is studying the consultant's report and plans to brief the trade on its findings in mid-2013.

Subject to the findings of the assessment and the views of the trade,

the FSD plans to set up a working group comprising representatives from the Engineers Registration Board, the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers and the trade, and so on, to further discuss and formulate the implementation details. They will also make preparations for the relevant legislative amendments.

Shortage of Public Light Bus Drivers 13. MR FRANKIE YICK (in Chinese): President, some operators of public light buses (PLBs) (red minibuses (RMBs) and green minibuses (GMBs)) have reportedly said that the shortage of PLB drivers is very serious. For example,


the vacancies of GMB drivers account for 25% of the total number of positions, resulting in a situation of "some PLBs being left idle as no drivers are available". One operator has even said that if the situation does not improve, at least 10 routes will have to be cancelled this year. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:

(a) of the number of holders of valid PLB driving licences in the past

three years, broken down by the age groups in the table below;

Year Age group

29 or below

30 to 39

40 to 49

2010 2011 2012

(b) of the number of PLB driving licence holders who had not applied

for licence renewal upon expiry of their licences in the past three years, and whether it knows the reasons why they had not renewed their licences;

(c) of the number of PLB drivers in the past three years, broken down by

the age groups and employment term in the table below;

Year PLB Employment term

Age group 29 or below

(d) given that the Transport Department (TD) had enquired with the

GMB operators across the territory at the end of last year about the


10611

shortage of drivers, of the findings of its enquiries and the current shortfall of GMB drivers; whether the Government will enquire with RMB operators about the shortage of drivers; if it will, of the details; if not, the reasons for that;

(e) whether it knows the number and percentage of people taking up

employment as PLB drivers among those who newly obtained their PLB driving licences in the past three years, and the reasons why some people had not been employed as such; if no such information is available, whether the Government will conduct a survey on this;

(f) regarding the shortage of PLB drivers, what short, medium and

long-term corresponding measures the authorities have put in place to attract more people to join the trade and support the long-term development of the trade, and of the details of such measures (including the implementation timetable and expected outcomes); and

(g) given that Singapore has reportedly imported a specific quota of

foreign labour to solve the problem of shortage of bus drivers, whether the authorities will consider making reference to the practice of Singapore and importing foreign labour to solve the problem of shortage of PLB drivers; if they will, of the details; if not, the reasons for that?

SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT AND HOUSING (in Chinese): President, at present, there are 3 084 GMBs and 1 266 RMBs in Hong Kong. A holder of a valid PLB full driving licence is eligible to become a driver for a GMB or a RMB. As at end of 2012, there were around 180 000 holders of a valid PLB full driving licence. This number far exceeds the number of drivers required to operate both types of PLBs under a two-shift arrangement per day.

(a) The number of valid PLB full driving licence holders as at end of 2012 by age groups is as follows:

Year Age group

29 or below 30 to 39 40 to 49 50 to 59 60 to 69 70 to 79 80 or

above Total

2012 3 295 20 874 42 211 66 604 39 897 5 926 559 179 366


The number of valid PLB full driving licence holders as at end of 2010 and end of 2011 was 173 117 and 176 215 respectively. As it takes time to check the records, the TD cannot provide a breakdown by age groups for the time being.

(b) Under Regulation 15(6) of the Road Traffic (Driving Licences)

Regulations (Cap. 374B), a Hong Kong full driving licence can only be renewed during the period from four months before the date of its expiry to not exceeding three years after that date.

The number of PLB full driving licences which have expired over

three years as at end of 2010, end of 2011 and end of 2012 is as follows:

Year Number of licences which have expired over three years

2010 39 167 2011 44 117 2012 47 876

Since driving licence holders are not required to inform the TD of

the reasons for not renewing their licences, the TD does not have the relevant information.

(c) and (d) In view that some GMB representatives reflected that there was a

shortage of drivers for certain routes, the TD made an enquiry with all GMB operators in Hong Kong late last year. It was learnt that some GMB routes occasionally failed to operate fully in accordance with the frequency specified in the schedule of service because of manpower issues. Based on the data collected from the operators, there were about 1 300 full-time GMB driver vacancies as at end of 2012. The breakdown of serving GMB drivers by age groups and employment term is as follows:

Year Age group

29 or below

30 to 39 40 to 49 50 to 59 60 to 69 70 or above

Total

2012 Full-time 29 280 900 3 018 2 085 228 6 540 Part-time 47 128 264 445 426 80 1 390


10613

Yet, according to the TD's latest understanding, the operators have addressed the manpower issues by employing part-time and full-time drivers, flexibly redeploying existing manpower and adjusting drivers' salary, and so on. The situation has since improved and the number of full-time GMB driver vacancies has reduced to about 660.

The TD does not have any information on the age profile and

employment term of GMB drivers for 2011 and 2010. As for RMB drivers, they are basically self-employed and are

providing RMB service through rental of vehicles. Given its flexibility in adjusting service routes, frequencies and fares, RMB service could be adjusted any time according to the market situation and other factors. The TD does not collect information on the age profile of RMB drivers.

(e) The number of persons issued with valid PLB full driving licences

from 2010 to 2012 is as follows:

Year Number of persons 2010 2 815 2011 2 794 2012 3 387

The TD has not surveyed whether or not the holders of a valid PLB

full driving licence (that is, the 180 000 or so licence holders mentioned in part (a) above) are engaged in the PLB trade and the reasons behind.

(f) and (g) As mentioned above, there are at present 4 350 registered PLBs

while the number of valid PLB full driving licence holders comes to around 180 000. This shows that the number of holders of the relevant driving licence should be sufficient to meet the manpower demand in the market.

To help the GMB trade recruit drivers, the TD has contacted the

Labour Department (LD) and liaised with GMB operators to


participate in the LD's job fairs. The first job fair with the participation of GMB operators is expected to be held in June 2013. Furthermore, GMB operators who need to recruit drivers can use the LD's other free service. For example, they can recruit drivers to fill the vacancies with the help of the Job Vacancy Processing Centre.

Besides, as mentioned above, some GMB operators have adjusted

the salary of drivers to retain the incumbent and attract new blood to join the GMB trade. According to the TD's understanding, GMB driver shortage has improved subsequent to the introduction of the relevant measures. The TD will continue to monitor closely the manpower situation of GMB drivers. If the operators apply for fare increase on the ground of increased operating cost (including salary cost), the TD will consider such applications on a case-by-case basis.

Coordination of Provision and Maintenance of Barrier-free Access and Facilities 14. DR FERNANDO CHEUNG (in Chinese): President, over the years, the Government has all along expressed its concern for the provision of barrier-free access and facilities, and some government officials have publicly stated on various occasions that the Government will observe the Universal Accessibility Best Practices devised by the Architectural Services Department as well as the best practices set out in the Design Manual: Barrier Free Access 2008 issued by the Buildings Department (BD), and whenever practicable, strive to achieve a standard beyond the statutory requirements when constructing new government buildings. However, I have received a large number of complaints from members of the public and organizations that there are problems of lack of proper maintenance and contravention of regulations of the barrier-free access and facilities in the community, but there are no channels for them to lodge their complaints. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:

(a) whether the Government has designated a certain department or

established any programme which is tasked to co-ordinate the provision and maintenance of barrier-free access and facilities in the community; if it has, of the details; and whether the responsibilities of the department or programme include (i) handling requests for assistance and receiving views and complaints about barrier-free


10615

access and facilities from members of the public and organizations, and (ii) co-operating with community organizations or District Councils to proactively identify areas of insufficiency and contraventions of regulations in respect of barrier-free access and facilities in the community; if no designated department or programme is in place, of the reasons for that, and whether the Government will set up a new department or task force, or designate an officer to take charge of the aforesaid tasks; if it will not, of the reasons for that; and

(b) whether various government departments have designated officers

who are tasked to manage the barrier-free access and facilities under their respective ambits; if they have, of a list of the names of and the methods to contact such officers; if not, the reasons for that?

SECRETARY FOR LABOUR AND WELFARE (in Chinese): President, it is Government's established policy objective to provide barrier-free access and facilities for people in need (including persons with disabilities) with a view to enabling them to freely access premises and make use of community facilities and services on an equal basis with others, thereby facilitating them to live independently, participate in full in various social activities and integrate into the community. On the one hand, we have put in place relevant legislative and administrative measures with a view to providing people in need with reasonable access to premises and community facilities. On the other hand, we will continue to strive for promotion and implementation of the vision of a barrier-free society in collaboration with the rehabilitation sector, the business sector and the community. My reply to the two questions raised by Dr Fernando CHEUNG is as follows:

(a) and (b) Apart from ensuring that the newly constructed alterations and

additions to existing government buildings and facilities achieve design standards beyond the statutory requirements where possible, we have accelerated the process of improving the accessibility of existing government premises, public housing and connecting road


facilities. In this regard, the Administration has taken forward a comprehensive retrofitting programme to upgrade the barrier-free facilities for about 3 500 existing government premises and facilities, as well as about 240 public housing estates at a total cost of $1.3 billion. Retrofitting works for around 90% of these premises and facilities had been completed as scheduled in end-June 2012 and the majority of the remaining works is expected to be completed by end-June 2014. To tie in with the lift modernization programme and Estate Improvement Programme of the Housing Authority, a small proportion of the improvement works at public housing estates will be completed by 2016-2017.

With regard to public walkways, the Highways Department (HyD)

has been implementing a retrofitting programme for the provision of barrier-free access facilities at public footbridges, elevated walkway structures or subways without lifts or ramps or alternative at-grade crossings. The works will be completed between 2016 and 2018 by phases. In addition, the Chief Executive announced in August 2012 a new policy on "Universal Accessibility" which aims at further enhancing the barrier-free facilities for existing public walkways (that is, footbridges, elevated walkways and subways maintained by the HyD) by installation of lifts at appropriate locations. The Administration consulted the District Councils in the first quarter of 2013 on proposals suggested by the public involving about 250 public walkways on the priority for implementation, and will proceed to conduct preliminary technical feasibility studies for the selected priority projects.

With effect from 1 April 2011, the Administration has appointed

Access Co-ordinators in individual bureaux and departments to co-ordinate accessibility issues within the bureau and department and raise staff awareness of accessibility issues. Individual bureaux and departments have also appointed an Access Officer for each venue under their management to offer assistance to people in need in access to the venue under his/her management and using the services and facilities therein, and handle complaints regarding accessibility issues for the venue. Access Officers are also required to conduct regular audit checks and take timely follow-up actions as required to ensure the provision of suitable barrier-free facilities and


10617

that the barrier-free access is free from undue alterations or obstructions. The contact lists of Access Co-ordinators and Access Officers, apart from being displayed at the venues concerned, have also been uploaded to the websites of the Labour and Welfare Bureau and individual bureaux and departments for public information.

Members of the public may contact directly individual Access

Co-ordinators and Access Officers of the venues concerned to seek assistance, offer suggestions and lodge complaints in respect of the barrier-free facilities of the venues. They may also offer views through the District Councils. The District Councils will refer their views to the relevant government departments for follow-up actions or invite, if necessary, the works departments concerned to brief the District Councils on local improvement works, listen to the views of the district councillors and follow up feasible suggestions. Moreover, members of the public may call the government hotline 1823 to report inadequacy of barrier-free facilities and non-compliance cases. The departments managing the premises and facilities concerned will follow up proactively.

We have also been working closely with the major stakeholders,

including the Hong Kong Council of Social Service, the Sub-committee on Access under the Rehabilitation Advisory Committee and groups of persons with disabilities, and conducted joint site visits to ensure that the barrier-free facilities meet the needs of the service users.

As regards private buildings, the BD has adopted a two-pronged

approach to ensure that persons with disabilities can enjoy the facilities provided to them under the law. Apart from following up irregularities identified during inspections on selected target shopping arcades and commercial buildings, the BD will also actively follow up non-compliance cases in response to public complaints. Once reports on removal or unauthorized alteration of access and facilities for persons with disabilities are received, the BD will conduct inspection and investigation within 50 days according to their Service Pledges. If the removal or unauthorized works are underway, the BD will conduct the inspection and investigation


within 48 hours. The BD will take enforcement action against irregularities so identified pursuant to the Buildings Ordinance. According to the BD's prevailing enforcement policy, priority enforcement action will be contemplated for removal or unauthorized alteration of access and facilities for persons with disabilities.

Healthcare Manpower Situation of Prince of Wales Hospital 15. MR JAMES TIEN (in Chinese): President, according to media reports, a large number of healthcare personnel in the Accident and Emergency (A&E) Department of the Prince of Wales Hospital (PWH) in Sha Tin have recently left the service, resulting in a serious shortage of manpower. To avoid making wrong diagnoses due to manpower shortage, the healthcare personnel in that A&E Department transferred a large number of patients to the medical wards of the hospital, making these medical wards fully occupied and overloaded. Other media reports have pointed out that the PWH has recently closed two medical wards which were added earlier, making quite a number of medical patients who needed hospitalization stranded in the A&E Department for a long time waiting for admission due to a shortage of hospital beds. Some members of the public have expressed their concern that, in case of a major outbreak of influenza in the community, the PWH's medical wards will have difficulties in coping with the situation. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council, whether it knows:

(a) the respective numbers of the existing healthcare personnel and the

shortfalls in the various departments of the PWH (set out in a table); (b) the quarterly healthcare personnel wastage of the A&E Department

of the PWH in the past two years and the reasons for the wastage, as well as the average monthly occupancy rate and the number of hospital beds in the medical wards of the PWH;

(c) whether the Hospital Authority (HA) has assessed if the workloads of

the A&E Department and the medical wards of the PWH have already exceeded their capacity at present; if they have, of the assessment results; if not, the reasons for that;


10619

(d) whether the HA has assessed if the healthcare manpower, the number of hospital beds and medical facilities of the PWH are sufficient to cope with the situation of a major outbreak of influenza; if they have, of the assessment results; if not, the reasons for that; and

(e) what measures the HA has put in place to cope with the manpower

shortage and workload problems of the A&E Department and the medical wards of the PWH?

SECRETARY FOR FOOD AND HEALTH (in Chinese): President, despite the severe manpower situation in recent years, the HA has introduced a number of measures to improve the A&E services in view of the increasing demand. Specific measures include:

(i) Implementing a pilot scheme since February 2013 to recruit additional medical and nursing staff to alleviate the work pressure in A&E Departments and enhance A&E services. The scheme is being implemented in 12 hospitals. As at April 2013, a total of 191 doctors and 542 nurses have been recruited. The HA is currently reviewing the effectiveness of the scheme before deciding whether it should be continued and expanded;

(ii) Increasing doctor manpower through measures including enhancing

the special honorarium scheme, implementation of additional promotion mechanism and appointment of part-time doctors;

(iii) Strengthening manpower of nurses and supporting staff through

provision of short term employment of retired nursing staff and undergraduate nurses, enhancement of recruitment and retention, promotion opportunities, improvement of working conditions and training opportunities for nurses, as well as strengthening of phlebotomist services and clerical support;

(iv) Setting up additional observation areas to alleviate the congestion of

A&E Departments; and (v) Stepping up publicity to call on the public to avoid using A&E

services under non-emergency situation.


In fact, after implementing a range of measures at the PWH, the waiting time at the A&E Department and for admission has been improved. The occupancy rate of medical specialty has reduced from the peak of 127% in January 2013 to the recent figure of about 112%. The median waiting time for patients who are triaged as semi-urgent (category 4) had also reduced from the peak of four hours or above in April to the recent figure of less than two hours recently. In addition, to ensure that patients with more serious conditions are accorded higher priority in medical treatment, the HA adopts a triage system which classifies patients attending the A&E Departments into five categories according to their clinical conditions, namely critical, emergency, urgent, semi-urgent and non-urgent. Under the triage system, the majority of patients with pressing medical needs received timely medical treatment. My reply to various parts of the question is as follows:

(a) The manpower situation and vacancies of healthcare staff(1) in

various clinical departments of the PWH as at March 2013 are as follows:

participating in the special honourarium scheme, thus the actual vacancies are 3.5 doctors.

(b) The quarterly healthcare personnel wastage of the A&E Department

of the PWH in the past two years is as follows:

January 106.4 126.7 February 117.6 115.6 March 113.7 126.1

(c) and (e) Owing to factors such as ageing population, the demand for acute

medical beds in Sha Tin District has been increasing in recent years. The number of patients admitted to the medical ward of the PWH has increased by more than 6% in the past two years.

To cater for the increasing demand, the PWH has adopted a series of

contingency measures in recent years, which include providing


10623

additional wards and beds, as well as speeding up the workflow of discharge and transfer of patients to rehabilitation hospitals, with a view to vacating beds to cater for admission of in-patients as soon as possible. Other contingency measures include increasing A&E Nurse Clinic sessions from two days a week to seven days a week, subject to the manpower situation. Non-emergency and mild trauma cases will be treated by nurse specialists so that doctors could attend to patients in critical condition. During the peak seasons of influenza, the community outreach nursing team will extend service to seven days a week, and strengthen visits to local residential care homes for the elderly so as to reduce the need for hospitalization of their residents. Direct admission to Shatin Hospital (without going through the A&E Department) will be arranged for the elderly as necessary to alleviate the burden on the A&E Department.

On manpower deployment, an additional of nine nurses were

deployed to the A&E Department of the PWH in April 2013, and 31 more nurses will be deployed to the Department of Medicine of the PWH in August 2013 to relieve the work pressure of front-line staff.

(d) The PWH adopts standardized policies and measures with other

public hospitals in handling outbreaks of epidemic disease. Currently, the overall strategy of Hong Kong in addressing the threats of avian influenza A (H7N9) and novel coronavirus is to "diagnose it early", "isolate the patients early", "report it early" and "treat the patients early"; and remind the public through the media to avoid related risks and seek medical attention when suspicious symptoms are noticed, so that patients could be identified, isolated and treated early in the course of illness. Hospitals will reprioritize core activities and set aside manpower resources to cope with additional service demands according to the response level in place.

Front-line healthcare staff adopts the monitoring standards of

"FTOCC" in identifying the attendants, that is, Fever, Travel (having visited areas with suspected or confirmed H5N1/H7N9 infection cases within the last six months), Occupation (working in laboratories or places where contact with wild birds/poultry is required), Contact (having contact with the infected patients or wild birds/poultry) and Cluster (presenting infection clusters with


symptoms of fever or pneumonia). Suspected patients will be referred for further exanimations in negative-pressured consultation rooms and then transferred to isolation wards for specimen taking and testing. The attending doctor will, at the same time, notify the Centre for Health Protection. Cases confirmed as novel influenza by rapid screening tests will be immediately referred to the HA Infectious Disease Centre at the Princess Margaret Hospital for treatment.

Like A&E Departments of other public hospitals, the A&E

Department of the PWH has set up a designated registration and waiting area for patients with symptoms of fever and respiratory tract infection to avoid cross infection with other patients.

At present, 97 isolation beds in the PWH are equipped with negative

pressure air-conditioners and high efficiency particulate air filters so as to reduce the possibility of airborne transmission of diseases. Healthcare staff is also required to put on full personal protective equipment and comply with the infection control practices during work.

To combat any infectious disease outbreaks and reduce the risk of

infection in hospitals, all healthcare staff of the HA have received comprehensive training and will receive refresher training on the response levels and relevant infection control measures at an interval of 18 to 24 months. Seminars and talks are also conducted regularly to raise the awareness of staff as well as to enhance their personal hygiene and hygiene practices in taking care of patients.

Besides, the Head Office of the HA and various hospitals organize

routine drills for infectious diseases in different domains and scales on a regular basis and participate in the annual interdepartmental drill for infectious disease outbreaks, with an aim to ensure that healthcare personnel understand their roles and responsibilities, especially in the communication process; and to test and assess the capability of and co-ordination among the HA and various hospitals in implementing the contingency plans.

Entertainment Expenses of Various Disciplined Services 16. MR JAMES TO (in Chinese): President, according to media reports, a former Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption is suspected of having misused public funds in overseas visits, entertainment activities and purchase of gifts during his term of office, and he is also suspected of having improperly used public funds for entertainment activities during his tenure as Commissioner of Customs and Excise. As such media reports have aroused grave public concern, will the Government inform this Council, regarding five disciplined services, namely the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF), Immigration Department (ImmD), Fire Services Department (FSD), Customs and Excise Department (C&ED) )and Correctional Services Department (CSD):

(a) of the requirements of the disciplined services in respect of their

expenses on overseas visits, entertainment and gifts, including the ranks of approving officers, upper limits for such expenses, approval procedures, special approval procedures when the actual expenses have exceeded the upper limits for overseas visits/entertainment activities/gifts, and penalties for contraventions; whether the commissioners/directors of the disciplined services are authorized to approve expenses on overseas visits, entertainment activities and giving of gifts in which they are involved; if so, whether there is any restriction on such approvals;

(b) of the details of the expenses on purchase of gifts presented to

government officials of other places since the incumbent commissioners/directors of the disciplined services assumed office, and set out in detail the dates on which the gifts were presented, the types of gifts (for example, gift items, foods or drinks, and so on), quantities and value of the gifts, names of organizations/persons that accepted the gifts, and purpose of presenting the gifts; the number of those occasions on which the value of the gifts had exceeded the upper limits, and whether special approvals were required and the reasons for the approvals;

(c) of the details of the entertainment activities hosted since the

incumbent commissioners/directors of the disciplined services assumed office, and set out in detail the dates of the activities, venues, expenses incurred, name lists of those officers of the


disciplined services and guests attending the activities, and purpose of the activities; the number of those entertainment activities in which the expenses had exceeded the upper limits, and whether special approvals were required and the reasons for the approvals;

(d) of the details of the overseas visits made by the incumbent

(e) whether these disciplined services have put in place internal audit

mechanisms to ensure that expenses on overseas visits, entertainment activities and gifts are incurred in accordance with the relevant procedures and requirements; whether these disciplined services had uncovered any related contraventions in the past three years; if they had, of the details?

SECRETARY FOR SECURITY (in Chinese): President,

(a) and (e) Officials of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region

Government are required by work to maintain regular liaison and contact with various sectors, including Legislative Council Members, political parties, the media, consultative and advisory bodies, district personalities, offices set up by the Central People's Government, Mainland authorities, offices of foreign authorities in Hong Kong as well as international bodies, and so on.

According to the Civil Service Regulations (CSR), Heads of

Department (HoDs) and officers authorized by their HoDs may have their expenditure on entertainment charged to public funds. Such expenditure should be directly related to the discharge of an officer's


10627

duties or a necessary part of making or maintaining contacts in his official capacity. The status of the guests and the standard of entertainment appropriate to the occasion must be taken into account when deciding the place and scale of entertainment. All applications for reimbursement of accountable expenditure on entertainment should be supported by receipts. The HoD, Deputy HoD or a directorate officer to whom authority is delegated under the consent of the Secretary for the Civil Service must personally authorize all expenditure from the departmental entertainment vote, and the approval of reimbursement of entertainment expenditure is ultimately the responsibility of the controlling officers. Expenditure on entertainment forms part of the departmental operating expenses, and the expenses of bureaux and departments are subject to audit scrutiny.

In addition, according to the Government's internal guidelines, the

expenses for entertaining guests should not exceed $350 per person for lunch and $450 per person for dinner. In discharging their duties, civil servants must strictly adhere to the relevant expenditure guidelines and approval mechanism if entertainments such as meals are involved. Where the circumstances require that the expenses exceed the expenditure guidelines, full justifications must be given and approval must be sought. This set of procedures is applicable to all government departments, including the five disciplined services, namely the HKPF, the ImmD, the FSD, the C&ED and the CSD.

Duty visits by civil servants should be made on the basis of

operational need. The ranking and number of officers undertaking duty visits are considered on a case-by-case basis. To ensure that applications of civil servants for duty visits are prudently handled, applications from officers below HoD level should be approved personally by Permanent Secretaries/HoDs or by senior officers not below Assistant Director level. As for duty visits undertaken by HoDs, approval should be obtained from their respective Permanent Secretary, supervising officer or Director of Bureau. In considering such applications, the approving officers should consider various factors, including the purpose of visit, duration, number and frequency of such visits, and the appropriateness of the ranking and


number of the officers involved, and so on. Civil servants on duty visits outside Hong Kong are entitled to draw a subsistence allowance provided under the CSR. The rate of the allowance is applicable to all civil servants. The allowance is intended to cover the cost of appropriate accommodation and meals, travelling expenses within towns, and other minor incidental out-of-pocket expenses, and so on. For civil servants on duty visits, their duty passages are procured by relevant departments in accordance with the CSR and the Stores and Procurement Regulations (SPR).

As regards offering of souvenirs, the Government of the current term

upholds the principles of honesty and simplicity. It generally does not accept or exchange souvenirs or gifts in functions and activities. If there is a need to go through the protocol for exchanging souvenirs or gifts, appropriate souvenirs or gifts would be procured having regard to the capacity of the guests and the occasions to ensure proper use of public funds. The procurement of supplies (including gifts or souvenirs) must be in compliance with the SPR of the Government.

In other words, the expenses incurred in official entertainment, duty

visits and offering of gifts or souvenirs by civil servants are governed by relevant guidelines. Applications and approvals for those expenses are subject to established procedures to ensure the proper use of public funds. Civil servants who contravene the CSR or other government regulations may be subject to disciplinary actions.

(b) The types of souvenirs given by the five disciplined services, namely

the HKPF, the ImmD, the FSD, the C&ED and the CSD, generally include wooden plaques, crystal displays and stationeries engraved with the names or logos of the departments. The relevant expenditure forms part of the "general departmental expenses". The departments do not maintain a separate account in respect of the expenses for the procurement of souvenirs.

(c) The total expenses for official entertainment of the five disciplined

services, namely the HKPF, the ImmD, the FSD, the C&ED and the CSD, in the past five years are at Table 1. The departments do not


10629

maintain a separate account in respect of the expenses for official entertainment of individual officers.

Youth Pre-employment Training Programme and Youth Work Experience and Training Scheme 17. MR LEUNG KWOK-HUNG (in Chinese): President, earlier, following the reply of the Government to my question on the Youth Pre-employment Training Programme and Youth Work Experience and Training Scheme (the Scheme) of the Labour Department (LD), quite a number of members of the public and the social workers who work as case managers under the Scheme have continued to relay to me the problems of the Scheme. They pointed out that when problems of the training courses arose, the responsible social workers or the persons-in-charge of the training bodies which were appointed under the Scheme had covered up their own fault in improper supervision and shifted, without verifying the facts, the blame to the front-line social workers who had already left the positions. Moreover, some trainees of the Scheme have relayed to me that they have not succeeded in securing employment after completing the training courses and thus feel very anxious. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:

(a) of the number of trainees who received the hours of case

management services (basic period) as listed in the table below, and the average amount of service fees per hour paid by the authorities for each trainee, in each of the programme years of the Scheme (programme years) from 2009-2010 to 2011-2012 (set out in the table below);

(e) of the time taken by the LD to reimburse the course fees to a training body after receiving the "Form No. 26" (application form for reimbursement of course fees) submitted by the training body; whether it is against the law for a training body to submit a "Form No. 26" containing untrue information; if so, of the relevant legislation and penalties, and whether the person who has signed on the Form will be held legally liable?

SECRETARY FOR LABOUR AND WELFARE (in Chinese): President, the Government is highly concerned about youth employment. By adopting a multi-pronged approach, comprehensive training and employment support services are provided to young people to help them seek employment. The Scheme is one of the youth employment support measures. The LD attaches great importance to the quality of services and training provided by the training bodies of the Scheme. It takes up its monitoring role seriously. If breaches of the Scheme's terms and conditions are detected, they will be handled strictly. My reply to the question raised by Mr LEUNG Kwok-hung is as follows:

(a) and (b) Under the Scheme, case managers, based on the trainees' needs and

their professional assessment, will provide trainees with appropriate services and support. Case management service fee is paid on an hourly basis in accordance with the actual time spent. We do not keep statistics broken down by the number of service hours of basic and extended case management services received by the trainees. The Audit Commission had analysed the data of basic case management services received by trainees in the 2009-2010 programme year in its Report No. 59 and the information is listed in the table below. The case management service fee was $65 per hour per trainee on average.

2009-2010 programme year

70 3 (0%) Total 1 751 (100%)

(c) In the 2009-2010, 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 programme years, the

Scheme enrolled 15 543, 11 922 and 9 434 trainees respectively. As the 2012-2013 programme year will end in August 2013, the full-year figure is not yet available. The LD commissions professional social workers of the training bodies to provide 12 months' customized career guidance, job search and employment support to the trainees. The case management services may be extended by another 12 months for trainees who have been placed into on-the-job training vacancies or secured employment, so as to better assist them to settle in their jobs, overcome problems in the workplaces, and map out their future development plan.

The Scheme deals with trainees' employment needs in a proactive

and flexible manner. Trainees who have not yet completed the case management services or the relevant training courses could still be offered on-the-job training. As such, we do not have information on the number of trainees having secured employment within one month after completing the case management services. In the 2009-2010, 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 programme years, 4 595, 4 228 and 3 341 trainees were placed into training vacancies of the Scheme respectively. In addition, quite a substantial number of trainees would pursue further studies or find job themselves after joining the Scheme while some trainees would choose to join the Scheme again. Each year, we conduct a trainee development survey on trainees. The results of the surveys on trainees of the 2009-2010, 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 programme years showed that 70.6%, 75.5% and 72.2% of the trainees were in employment respectively at the time of the relevant survey. In sum, through provision of career guidance and job search support, the Scheme aims at helping young people understand their career interests and get to know different trades or industries that enable them to map out the direction of their long-term career development. Placements


achieved in the short run may not be able to fully reflect the effectiveness of the Scheme.

(d) In the 2009-2010 to 2011-2012 programme years, the numbers of

trainees participating in training courses of the Scheme are listed below:

Programme

year Number of trainees

in courses Number of trainees with

attendance of 80% or above 2009-2010 12 198 9 838 2010-2011 8 729 6 851 2011-2012 6 526 5 005

The Scheme offers different modules of training courses including a

core course on job-search and interpersonal skills training, and a series of elective courses on discipline and motivation training, computer application training and introductory job-specific skills training. Each trainee may take a maximum of four elective courses in addition to the job-search and interpersonal skills training in the 12-month service period. The training courses aim at helping the young people better understand themselves and their career aspiration so as to enhance their employability in the long run. As explained in part (c) of the reply above, the Scheme deals with the trainees' employment needs in a proactive and flexible manner. Trainees do not have to complete the training courses before they are offered on-the-job training or secure employment in the open market. As such, we do not have information on the number of trainees having secured employment within one month after completing the training courses.

(e) Upon receipt of the application form for reimbursement of course

fees submitted by the training body (Form No. 26) and all relevant documents, the LD will take about one to two months to arrange for reimbursement of the course fees. It is clearly stated in Form No. 26 that information relating to the reimbursement claims must be reported accurately. Anyone who wilfully makes false representation or provides false information commits an offence. The LD will refer suspected offence cases to the police for investigation.

Systems for Prevention of Potential Conflicts of Interests and Control of Entertainment Expenses 18. MR KENNETH LEUNG (in Chinese): President, the former Chief Executive set up the "Independent Review Committee for the Prevention and Handling of Potential Conflicts of Interests (IRC)" in February 2012 to review the regulatory frameworks and procedures for the prevention and handling of potential conflicts of interests concerning the Chief Executive, Non-Official Members of the Executive Council (ExCo) and Officials under the Political Appointment System respectively, including the arrangements for declaration of investments/interests and acceptance of advantage/entertainment/hospitality. Regarding the systems for the prevention of potential conflicts of interests and the control of entertainment expenses, will the Government inform this Council:

(a) of the latest progress of the authorities' implementation of the 36

recommendations contained in the report submitted by the aforesaid Committee in May 2012; which of those recommendations have not yet been implemented and the reasons for that;

(b) whether, over the past 15 years, the authorities have reviewed and

improved the regulatory mechanisms and procedures of various government departments for the prevention of conflicts of interests, as well as the departments' measures for monitoring hospitality, entertainment and giving of gifts; if they have, of a breakdown by department of the details and the results of such reviews;

(c) given that recently, an ExCo Member has been alleged to be

involved in a conflict-of-interests situation, a former official under the Political Appointment System has been prosecuted, and a former Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has been alleged to have taken advantage of his position for personal gains in hosting meals for persons not related to the work of ICAC during his term of office, whether the authorities will consider (i) conducting a comprehensive review of the regulatory mechanisms and procedures of various government departments for the prevention of conflicts of interests, as well as the departments' measures for monitoring hospitality, entertainment and giving of gifts; if they will consider, of the details and specific tasks; and (ii) conducting a comprehensive review of the system for integrity


checking of directorate staff of various government departments; and

(d) whether it has maintained records of the entertainment expenses

incurred by the Hong Kong Police Force, the Immigration Department, the Customs and Excise Department, the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau and the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department from 2008-2009 to 2012-2013; if it has, set out the details in the table below; if not, whether it will consider maintaining such records starting from this year?

SECRETARY FOR THE CIVIL SERVICE (in Chinese): President, upon collating contributions from relevant bureaux/departments, my reply to Mr LEUNG's question is as follows:


10637

(a) On the day the IRC issued its report, the Government made public that it agreed in principle with the recommendations made by the IRC and that it would consider how to follow up and implement individual recommendations. The Government has so far implemented about half of the recommendations, including revising the Code for Officials under the Political Appointment System and other administrative arrangements regulating the handling of conflict of interest and other matters concerning Politically Appointed Officials. The Administration is following up the remaining recommendations in earnest, including the IRC's recommendation of amending the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance (POBO). As the recommendation involves legislative amendments, the Administration has to exercise great care and to examine and consider in detail and comprehensively the legislative proposals, including the feasibility at the operational level and the possible impact on the existing POBO.

(b) and (c) On prevention of conflicts of interests, in order to uphold the

integrity and impartiality of the Civil Service in discharging their duties, the Administration has put in place a regulatory framework which is applicable to all civil servants. This is to ensure that no actual or perceived conflicts of interests shall arise between a civil servant's official duties and his private interests. We have from time to time reviewed the regulatory framework and, where necessary, updated the relevant guidelines, including providing additional guidelines on the role of supervisors; actions to be taken in managing conflicts of interests situations; and setting out more examples of conflicts of interests situations which civil servants should guard against. We will continue to keep the rules and guidelines under review.

As regards hospitality and entertainment, bureaux/departments, out

of operational needs, have to maintain regular liaison and contact with different sectors, including Legislative Councillors, District Councillors, political parties, the media, local communities and officials of other governments. In incurring expenses arising from their presence at functions in their official capacity, officers have to comply with the relevant requirements of the Civil Service


Regulations (CSR) and the internal guidelines issued by the Administration Wing with a view to ensuring the proper use of public funds.

The CSR set out the principle, regulations and approval procedures

governing official entertainment. Heads of bureaux/departments have the delegated authority to authorize all expenditures from the departmental entertainment vote. Separately, the Administration Wing has issued internal guidelines to all bureaux/departments in respect of official entertainment, which cover the ceilings of expenditure for entertaining guests on lunches and dinners being $350 and $450 per person respectively. The Administration has reminded all bureaux/departments to exercise economy in official entertainment when entertaining guests. Where there are sufficient justifications for exceeding the expenditure ceilings, the bureaux/departments are required to consider those applications according to the established mechanism and to document properly the justifications for granting such approvals. The Administration will review the regulations and guidelines governing official entertainment from time to time.

As regards offering of souvenirs or gifts, the Government of the

current term upholds the principles of honesty, simplicity and economy, and it does not accept or exchange souvenirs or gifts in ordinary functions and activities. If there is a need to go through the protocol for exchanging souvenirs or gifts, appropriate souvenirs or gifts would be procured with regard to the capacity of the guests and the occasions to ensure proper use of public funds. Bureaux/departments, in procuring supplies including souvenirs or gifts, are required to comply with the Stores and Procurement Regulations.

As regards integrity checking, all directorate officers are subject to

an integrity checking. The integrity checking system seeks to enable the appointment authority to determine whether prospective appointees or serving officers possess good characters and integrity for the delivery of the duties of the relevant posts. The Administration will continue to ensure that the system will contribute to public confidence in the civil service system.


10639

(d) Bureaux/departments are required to observe the relevant requirements under the CSR and the internal guidelines issued by the Administration Wing as mentioned in the replies to parts (b) and (c) above in organizing official entertainment activities. The departmental entertainment vote expenses for local entertainment incurred by the Hong Kong Police Force, the Immigration Department, the Customs and Excise Department, the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau and the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department from 2008-2009 to 2012-2013 are set out at Annex. Bureaux/departments do not maintain separate accounts for the expenses relating to individual subjects of entertainment.

Low-floor Buses 19. MR ALBERT CHAN (in Chinese): President, I raised a question at the meeting of this Council on 2 May 2012 regarding the issue that most of the bus trips on the routes to and from Tin Shui Wai were not serviced by wheelchair accessible low-floor buses. It has been learnt that, at present, some of the trips of these routes are still not serviced by low-floor buses, resulting in wheelchair users having to wait usually for more than 30 minutes for such buses. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:

(a) of the number and percentage of low-floor buses added to the fleet of

each franchised bus company between April 2012 and April 2013; (b) of the daily number of bus trips serviced by low-floor buses on the

routes to and from Tin Shui Wai at present; the percentage of such trips in the total number of the relevant bus trips; and how such figures compare with those in April 2012; and

(c) whether it will consider afresh adding a clause to the franchise

agreements with the bus companies in the future to require them to retrofit facilities on all in-service non-low-floor buses to make it convenient for wheelchair users to board and alight buses; if it will, of the details; if not, the reasons for that?

SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT AND HOUSING (in Chinese): President,

(a) The total number of wheelchair accessible low-floor buses in the franchised bus fleet has increased from 3 602 in end-April 2012 to 3 855 in end-March 2013(1), representing a growth of 7%. Currently, about 68% of franchised buses in Hong Kong are low-floor buses. The number of low-floor buses by franchised bus companies is set out at Annex.

(b) As regards bus service to and from Tin Shui Wai, the total number of

bus trips made in end-April 2012 was 3 320 per day, of which 2 803 or about 84% were provided by low-floor buses. With an enhancement in service frequency of the West Rail Line last year,

(1) The figures as at end-March 2013 are the latest available data.


10641

passenger demand for bus service has consequentially decreased. To ensure the proper use of resources, the Transport Department and franchised bus companies have adjusted the service frequency of some bus routes serving Tin Shui Wai. In end-March 2013, the total number of bus trips to and from Tin Shui Wai was 3 199 per day, of which 2 724 or about 85% were operated by low-floor buses. This percentage is higher than that of low-floor buses in the entire bus fleet in Hong Kong (that is, 68% as stated in part (a) above).

(c) Since 2001, all franchised bus companies have been acquiring

wheelchair accessible low-floor models for all new buses purchased as additional or replacement vehicles. The New Lantao Bus Company (1973) Limited (NLB) is an exception. This is because low-floor buses are not suitable for operation on some roads with steep gradient and sharp bends in South Lantau. The NLB can therefore only procure as far as possible wheelchair accessible low-floor buses for use on bus routes not covering such roads. As a low-floor bus requires a purpose-made frame for its structure and facilities, it is not feasible to modify serving non-low-floor buses into low-floor ones. Nevertheless, according to the current bus replacement programme, it is projected that all franchised buses (except for a small number of NLB buses) will become low-floor and wheelchair accessible by around 2015-2016.

MR CHAN HAK-KAN (in Chinese): President, in his 2009-2010 Policy Address, the former Chief Executive mentioned the promotion of the use of electric vehicles so that Hong Kong "will rank second in Asia, after Japan, where electric vehicles are most widely used". It has been reported recently by the media that some companies are planning to introduce electric taxis to Hong Kong. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:

(a) among the private cars, taxis, public light buses (PLBs) and

franchised buses currently registered in Hong Kong, of the respective numbers and percentages of those which are electric and hybrid vehicles;

(b) whether the Government has plans to gradually introduce electric

taxis, PLBs and franchised buses in order to alleviate roadside pollution; if so, of the details;


10643

(c) whether it has assessed the ancillary facilities required upon a comprehensive switch of taxis, PLBs and franchised buses to electric ones; whether it will consider installing charging facilities at metered parking spaces; and

(d) of the respective numbers of electric and hybrid vehicles currently

used by the Government; whether the Government has set a target on the number of electric vehicles to be introduced to its fleet; if it has, of the details; if not, the reasons for that?

SECRETARY FOR THE ENVIRONMENT (in Chinese): President,

(a) As at end of April 2013, there were 443 electric vehicles in Hong Kong, including 354 private cars, 56 motorcycles, 25 goods vehicles, 5 light buses and 3 buses (one of which was franchised bus). There was no electric taxi and electric public light bus. Compared with some 700 000 vehicles currently registered in Hong Kong, the use of electric vehicles is still at a very preliminary stage, and they only account for a very small percentage of the current number of vehicles. With the introduction of different types of electric vehicles by more vehicle suppliers, the numbers and types of local electric vehicles will increase accordingly.

Currently, the Transport Department only compiles statistics on

vehicles by their fuel types. Therefore, we do not have statistics on registered hybrid vehicles.

(b) and (c) To boost the confidence of public transport operators in the use of

electric vehicles, the Government set up a $300 million "Pilot Green Transport Fund" (the Fund) in March 2011. One of the objectives is to encourage the public transport trade to conduct trials on electric taxis, light buses and buses with the subsidy of the Fund. Successful applicants are required to share the trial results with the trade in future for the purpose of promotion. As at April 2013, the Fund has approved 28 applications in connection with electric vehicles with a total subsidy of about $55 million. They included trials on 14 electric taxis, 11 electric coaches and 18 electric goods


vehicles. No applicant has applied to use electric light buses so far. We expect that the trial on electric coaches and electric taxis will commence in the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2013 respectively. The Fund will also subsidize the installation of charging facilities, as applicants have to install such facilities to meet their operational needs.

In addition, it is the Government's ultimate policy objective to have

zero emission buses running across the territory. To achieve this objective, the Government has allocated $180 million to fund the full cost of procuring 36 electric buses and associated charging facilities for trial by five franchised bus companies so as to test the operational efficiency and performance of these vehicles in local conditions. The franchised bus companies are preparing to procure electric buses and associated charging facilities. It is expected that the trial will commence by the end of 2014.

As whether electric vehicles can meet the operational needs of taxis,

light buses and buses are subject to the trial results, the Government will study how to promote the use of electric taxis, light buses and buses (including relevant charging facilities). Due to the different types and models of commercial electric vehicles, their relevant charging facilities and operational modes are different. Hence, it is not suitable to change the existing public metered parking spaces for use by electric commercial vehicles exclusively at this stage.

(d) Currently there are 75 electric vehicles of different models in the

Government fleet. Some 150 additional vehicles will be delivered to various departments for use within this year. At present, there are 380 hybrid vehicles. The Government will actively monitor the supply of electric vehicle models in the market, and will try the best to take the lead in using more electric vehicles in meeting the operational needs of departments.

Provision of Infrastructural Facilities for Data Centres in Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate 21. MR CHARLES PETER MOK (in Chinese): President, in recent years, a number of local companies and international enterprises have set up high tier-data centres in Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate (Industrial Estate), which is


10645

also the landing site of submarine optical fibre cables for international telecommunications (telecommunications cables). Availability of alternative routings for data transmission is crucial to the provision of stable and reliable data centre services. Wan Po Road is currently the only feeder road that connects the Industrial Estate with other areas, and yet the underground space of Wan Po Road for accommodating various public utilities is close to its full capacity. Hence, the telecommunications industry has requested that communications equipment be installed on the bridge of the proposed Cross Bay Link at Tseung Kwan O (the Link) to facilitate the development of data centres. However, some members of the telecommunications industry have relayed to me that it was recommended to the Government in the relevant project consultant's report that only public utilities necessary for the daily operation of the road should be allowed to be installed on the bridge of the Link, and telecommunications cables and apparatus would not be included. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:

(a) whether the authorities have permitted telecommunications service

providers to install telecommunications cables and apparatus on various major trunk roads and flyovers in Hong Kong; if they have, of the details and the relevant policies; if not, the reasons for that;

(b) whether the authorities have, when considering the existing or

proposed public utilities that might be affected by the Link, taken into account the trend of a continuous increase in the numbers of data centres which commenced/will commence operation, those under construction or extension, and those being planned in the Industrial Estate between 2010 and 2015; if they have, of the details; if not, the reasons for that;

(c) whether the authorities have consulted the operators of data centres

in the Industrial Estate on the installation of telecommunications cables and apparatus on the bridge of the Link; if they have, of the details; if not, the reasons for that; and

(d) whether the authorities have accepted the aforesaid recommendation

in the project consultant's report; if they have, of the reasons for that, and whether they have any alternative for providing the data centres in the Industrial Estate with the external telecommunications cables and apparatus required; if they have not, of the details?


SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT AND HOUSING (in Chinese): President, the consolidated reply to the four parts of the question is as follows: Road infrastructure in Hong Kong can be broadly divided into public roads and expressways. The Administration will construct bridges when necessary to connect different locations. The main purpose of road infrastructure is to provide a safe and efficient transportation network for public use. Addition of other facilities to road infrastructure will only be considered if the operation of road infrastructure is not affected. Public utility companies, including telecommunications service providers, may apply from the Administration for installation of such public utilities as telecommunications cables on public roads (other than expressways and bridges) according to the established procedures. In principle, these applications will generally be approved if there is a genuine need for the utilities concerned and the relevant company can make appropriate arrangements in terms of design, installation and operation (including preliminary construction and subsequent maintenance) of the utilities to minimize the impact on road users and the public. As to expressways, due to the heavier traffic flow, apart from public utilities required by road lighting as well as the traffic control and surveillance system, public utilities not related to road operation are usually not allowed in expressway areas for the sake of traffic management and road safety. If such utilities concerned conform to public interest, and their installation and subsequent inspections/repairs/replacement do not involve excavations on carriageways and hard shoulders, the Administration may consider allowing these utilities to be placed along the verges of expressways. Regarding bridges, especially large-scale bridges such as the Cross Bay Link (CBL), they are already accommodating a certain amount of infrastructural facilities such as road lamps, drains/pipelines, fire service installations as well as traffic control and surveillance systems to ensure traffic safety on and smooth operation of the bridges. Installation of such additional facilities as cables and conduits other than those necessary for daily operation may not only affect the design of the bridges, but also impose extra loads on the bridges' building structure. Subject to their nature and structure, the additional facilities may also affect vehicular and pedestrian safety to a certain extent. Moreover, such additional facilities usually require regular maintenance or unscheduled


10647

emergency repairs. These works may result in partial or complete closure of the bridge sections, causing serious traffic congestion and inconvenience to road users (especially during peak hours) and also rendering the bridges not being able to fully perform their function of diverting traffic flow. In view of the reasons above, the Administration has set out the criteria for handling installation proposals of additional facilities. Under normal circumstances, the Administration will approve installing such public utilities as telecommunications cables on bridge structures only when there are no feasible alternatives. The criteria have been adopted for years and the public utility companies have been informed of the relevant requirements. Under the abovementioned mechanism, the Administration has permitted telecommunication companies to install such facilities as optical cables on some bridges, including Tsing Ma Bridge, Ap Lei Chau Bridge and Shenzhen Bay Bridge. In fact, many public utility companies have built dedicated conduits and facilities on their own (for instance, the cable tunnel extending from Wah Fu to Bowen Road of the Hongkong Electric Company Limited), saving the need to lay associated utilities along main carriageways or bridges so as to reduce interference to road traffic as well as facilitate utility management and maintenance in future by the companies. Regarding the CBL, the project is now at the preliminary design stage. The consultancy report on the project design covers only the design of the bridge itself but not the installation proposals of other public utilities. If public utility companies, including telecommunications companies, need to install such facilities as telecommunications cables along the CBL and can prove that there are no feasible alternatives, they may submit detailed proposals together with their justifications to the Civil Engineering and Development Department and the Highways Department for consideration. If the proposals are approved, the concerned departments will make appropriate arrangements in the detailed design stage that follows. Implementation of Residential Properties (First-hand Sales) Ordinance 22. MR FREDERICK FUNG (in Chinese): President, the Residential Properties (First-hand Sales) Ordinance (Cap. 621) (the Ordinance) has come into full operation with effect from 29 April this year. The Ordinance aims to enhance the transparency and fairness of the sales arrangements and


transactions of first-hand residential properties to better protect the interest of purchasers. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council of the following since the Ordinance came into full operation:

(a) the respective numbers of sales brochures, price lists and documents

on sales arrangements received by the Sales of First-hand Residential Properties Authority (SRPA); the number of inspections of the sales offices and show flats of first-hand residential properties conducted by SRPA officers; whether the SRPA has uncovered any contraventions of the Ordinance in checking sales documents and conducting inspections; if it has, of the details;

(b) whether the SRPA has received any complaints and enquiries about

the sales of first-hand residential properties regulated under the Ordinance; if it has, of the number and contents of such complaints and enquiries; as it has been reported that the transaction process of first-hand residential properties is slower than before, and that some estate agents are suspected of contravening the Ordinance in conveying the information on residential developments to prospective buyers, whether the SRPA has conducted any investigation into such cases; if it has, of the details; and

(c) the number of first-hand residential developments put up for sale in

the market; of a comparison of the supply and transaction volume of first-hand residential units before and after the implementation of the Ordinance; whether the authorities have assessed if the quantity and transaction volume of first-hand residential properties to be put up for sale in the coming year will be affected by the implementation of the Ordinance; if they have, of the outcome?

SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT AND HOUSING (in Chinese): President, the Ordinance aims to enhance the transparency and fairness of the sales arrangements and transactions of first-hand residential properties, enhance consumer protection, and provide a level playing field for vendors of first-hand residential properties. The Ordinance has come into full implementation with effect from 29 April 2013. To ensure that the Ordinance is implemented efficiently, the Transport and Housing Bureau has set up the SRPA. The SRPA is established under


10649

section 86(1) of the Ordinance. It commenced operation in early April 2013 to prepare for the full implementation of the Ordinance. Preparations included issuing Guidelines and Practice Notes and preparing answers to some 90 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the Ordinance. Also, the SRPA has organized nine rounds of workshops for the trade and held meetings with relevant stakeholders. Beyond these, it has launched publicity and educational programmes. My reply to the three parts of the question raised by Mr Frederick FUNG is as follows:

(a) As at 13 May 2013, the SRPA has received the first edition of three sales brochures, three sales brochures which have been examined by the SRPA and revised by the vendors in response to the advice given by the SRPA, three price lists, three documents containing the sales arrangements, and two Registers of Transactions. Three first-hand residential developments are involved.

The SRPA has conducted compliance checks on all of the

aforementioned documents. The SRPA considers that the sales brochures, including the revised sales brochures, have generally complied with the requirements of the Ordinance. That said, there is room for improvement on a few aspects in the first edition of the sales brochures. For example, the measurements showing the internal and external dimensions of residential properties on the floor plans of residential properties can be more comprehensive. Also, in the section on Fittings, Finishes and Appliances, it is necessary to specify the materials of fittings, equipment and water supply system in bathrooms, but not necessary to specify the brand names and models of the fittings in bathrooms and kitchens. The SRPA has given advice on the above not only to the vendors but also to all relevant stakeholders.

The SRPA considers that the price lists, the documents containing he

sales arrangements and the Registers of Transactions have generally complied with the requirements of the Ordinance. That said, the vendor of one of the first-hand residential developments did not make available the blank Register of Transactions for inspection by the general public on the first day of sale as required by the


Ordinance. According to the Ordinance, a vendor must make available the Register of Transactions at the sales office and an electronic copy of the Register of Transactions on its designated website on each date of sale for inspection by the general public irrespective of whether there is transaction. The SRPA has given advice on the above to the vendors and all relevant stakeholders.

As at 13 May 2013, the SRPA staff has conducted 15 visits to the

sales offices of three first-hand residential developments and five visits to the show flats of the two first-hand residential developments which are being offered for sale. The SRPA considers that the sales offices and show flats have generally complied with the requirements of the Ordinance. That said, there is room for improvement on a few aspects. For example, more notices can be displayed in the show flats to inform prospective purchasers that the internal dimensions of the show flats are slightly different from those as specified in the sales brochure because there are finishes on the walls in the show flats. The SRPA has given advice on the above to the vendors and all relevant stakeholders.

The SRPA is of the view that the aforementioned omissions or

deficiencies made by the vendors are technical errors and do not involve serious contravention of the Ordinance.

The SRPA places equal emphasis on prevention and enforcement.

On the prevention front, during the initial stage following the full implementation of the Ordinance, when the SRPA examines the sales brochures, price lists and other sales documents and visits the sales offices and show flats and has identified areas which vendors may easily make careless mistakes, it will issue reminders to the trade through the SRPA website and the Real Estate Developers Association of Hong Kong to draw vendors' attention to the issues identified as problematic or where improvements can be made so that the latter will not make the same mistakes in future. In this regard, the SRPA has issued reminders to the trade on the aforementioned issues. The SRPA observed that the vendors concerned had responded quickly to amend the sales brochures and show flats in accordance with the advice given.


10651

(b) Between the period from early April 2013 when the SRPA has commenced operation and 13 May 2013, the SRPA has received 278 enquiries. One hundred and forty-four of them were received on or before 28 April 2013, and the remaining 134 enquiries were received on or after 29 April 2013 when the Ordinance came into full implementation. The enquiries were made by vendors, stakeholders relating to the sales of first-hand residential properties such as conveyancing solicitors and authorized persons, and members of the public. The enquiries are diversified in nature, including the application of the Ordinance, the purview of the SRPA, the interpretation of specific provisions of the Ordinance, and how individual first-hand residential developments may comply with the Ordinance.

As at 13 May 2013, the SRPA has received a complaint on the

websites of two first-hand residential developments which have yet to make available sales brochures, price lists and the document containing the sales arrangements. The SRPA has completed the investigation on the complaint. The SRPA considers that the two websites which are the subjects of the complaint have not contravened the Ordinance, including the requirements of the Ordinance on advertisements. The Ordinance does not require that vendors must make available the sales brochure, price lists and/or the document containing the sales arrangements before promoting a first-hand residential development. However, an advertisement which purports to promote the sale of first-hand residential properties must comply with the requirements of the Ordinance on advertisements. The SRPA has informed the complainant of the investigation outcome.

Also, the media has informed the SRPA of two suspected cases

which may have been in breach of the Ordinance. In one of the cases, it is alleged that an estate agent may have breached the Ordinance when providing information on a residential development. For the other case, it is alleged that the vendor may have breached the Ordinance in the sales of residential properties in a first-hand residential development which comprises more than one building and the building works were issued certificates of exemption under section 5(a) of the Buildings Ordinance (Application to the New Territories) Ordinance (Cap. 121). The SRPA is following up on


both cases. Also, the Estate Agents Authority is following up on the case involving an estate agent.

If, at any stage of the investigation on the aforementioned two cases,

the SRPA considers that the suspected contravention of the Ordinance is of a severe nature and may affect the interest of prospective purchasers, it will make public the details of the contravention without causing prejudice to the legal proceedings.

(c) For the period from 29 April 2013 when the Ordinance comes into

full implementation to 13 May 2013, there were 176 first-hand residential properties in the two first-hand residential developments being offered for sale. According to the information in the Registers of Transactions of the two first-hand residential developments, as at 13 May 2013, there were 42 Preliminary Agreements for Sales and Purchase being entered into. Thirty-three of them have entered into Agreements for Sales and Purchase.

Hong Kong developers are quick to adapt to changes. We believe

that they are fully adapting to the Ordinance and will offer new residential developments and resume the sales of the remaining stock of first-hand residential properties in an orderly manner. If necessary, the SRPA will issue further FAQs and reminders to the trade to facilitate vendors to comply with the requirements of the Ordinance. It is however important to bear in mind that it is the business decision of individual vendors as to when to offer their first-hand residential properties for sale.

The development of the local private residential property market is

affected by many factors, including the performance of the macro-economy, the prospect of the local economy, interest rates, and the sentiment of local and external investors. Supply of private residential properties in Hong Kong comes from both first and second hand residential properties. In the past four years (that is, 2009 to 2012), transactions of first-hand residential properties accounted for an average of about 13% of the total number of transactions of private residential properties in Hong Kong whereas the transactions of second-hand residential properties accounted for the remaining 87% on average.
