HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995 2987 MISCELLANEOUS
Initial Report by Hong Kong under Article 19 of the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Jnhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment
ADDRESSES
Official Languages (Authentic Chinese Text) (Inland Revenue Ordinance) Order
MR ANDREW WONG: Mr President, as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Authentic Chinese Texts, I would like to address the Council on a point of special interest relating to the Official Languages (Authentic Chinese Text) (Inland Revenue Ordinance) Order, which was tabled before the Council on 22 March 1995.
Before going into the details, I would like to give some general background. Under the supervision of the Subcommittee on Authentic Chinese Texts, the authentication team of the Legal Service Division of the Council Secretariat has been scrutinizing the draft Chinese translation of the Laws of Hong Kong, prepared by the Attorney General's Chambers and endorsed by the Bilingual Laws Advisory Committee, before such Chinese version is declared authentic by the Governor in Council. As a special task force formed only recently in October 1994, and now consisting of four Assistant Legal Advisers working under the co-ordination of the Senior Assistant Legal Adviser, the authentication team has enabled the authentication process to progress at a rate much higher than was the case before its formation. Take a casual example: during the first two months of 1995, the Chinese translation of approximately 1 250 pages of English text were scrutinized. When one compares this with the previous figure of about 500 pages, being the total output for the first three and a half years of the authentication programme (from April 1991 to September 1994), the increase in productivity is obvious.
At the same time, great care is being taken to ensure that quantity is not achieved at the expense of quality. I am glad to say that, as a result of the Legislative Council's prior informal participation, the overall quality of the gazetted authentic Chinese texts has been improved. Nevertheless, one must constantly bear in mind certain limiting factors, namely, the highly technical nature of legal terminology, the intrinsic difference between the Chinese and English languages, not to mention inherent ambiguity sometimes found in an ordinance itself. As a result of all these factors, any subtle change in meaning introduced accidentally in the process of translation may have serious and far-reaching consequences. One excellent example of this may be found in the authentic Chinese text of the Inland Revenue Ordinance (Cap. 112) as gazetted on 17 March 1995.
2988 HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995
The word in question is "artificial" as it appears in section 61 of the said Ordinance. Essentially, that particular section empowers a tax assessor to disregard, for the purpose of tax assessment, any transaction which he regards as "artificial or fictitious". The special difficulty lies in that the word "artificial" has a wide range of possible meanings, ranging from not "natural" or "man-made" at one end of the scale, to "false" or "feigned" at the other end.
Formerly, when faced with the task of interpreting the legal meaning of such an English word or phrase, a court could look into the English text of the legislation alone and construe it in accordance with the judicial canons of construction. After the creation of an authentic Chinese text, however, pursuant to Part IIA of the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance (Cap. 1), not only the English word but also its Chinese rendition is liable to be so weighed and considered.
Owing to the breadth of meaning of the English word "artificial", it has been found to be almost impossible to find a Chinese word which contains exactly the same shades of meaning. The arbitrary rendition (in the Chinese authentic text) of one particular meaning, on the other hand, could be seen as interpretative and usurping the judge's role. Since, historically, section 61 has been a somewhat fertile ground for dispute and litigation, one cannot be too careful in choosing the appropriate rendition.
As a solution for the composite phrase "artificial or fictitious" in English, the rendition "虛假或虛構" has now been adopted in the authentic Chinese text, chosen on the basis of consistency with existing case law. The phrase "虛假或虛構" is therefore used in the Chinese text of Cap. 112 with the intended meaning of being the equivalent of "artificial or fictitious", as the latter is used in the context of section 61. With the legislative intention thus clearly put, it is believed by the Subcommittee that any potential misunderstanding regarding the said provision in the future will be avoided.
To sum up, this is the first time that a problem has been encountered in the authentication process which cannot be satisfactorily resolved by linguistic means alone. Should similar instances arise in the future each case will, I am sure, receive as much care, attention and practical scholarship as has been devoted to this present conundrum by those responsible for the authentication exercise, namely the Bilingual Laws Advisory Committee under the leadership of Dr Daniel TSE, the Attorney General's Chambers, the Executive Council, the Subcommittee on Authentic Chinese Texts of the this Council and the Legal Service Division of the Legislative Council Secretariat — to all of whom I express my thanks for their important contributions.
HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995 2989 Radiographers (Registration and Disciplinary Procedure) Regulation
DR TANG SIU-TONG: Mr President, with your permission, I rise to speak on the Radiographers Regulation concerning registration and disciplinary procedure.
The Regulation which aims to provide for the registration as radiographers of persons who are qualified for such registration and for disciplinary procedures relating to registered radiographers has been examined by a subcommittee of this Council.
Section 6(e) of the regulation provides that a person shall be qualified for registration as a radiographer if he holds a diploma issued by the Hong Kong Radiological Technicians Association (HKRTA) before 1 January 1982. The subcommittee has considered the concerns expressed regarding the cut-off date in recognizing the Association's diploma if the regulation is passed as is proposed. Graduates of the two-year part-time diploma course launched by the HKRTA in March 1993 would not be qualified to register as radiographers.
The Administration has explained to us that the issue on the qualification of the Association's diploma for the purpose of registration have been deliberated by the Radiographers Board. A decision was taken by the Board in January 1993, before the Association offered its course, that the diploma issued by the Association prior to 1 January 1982 would be recognized since the holders have already had considerable experience in the field. The Board, however, did not consider it appropriate to render an automatic registration status to the Association's diploma to be issued in 1995.
The Administration has provided us with information which indicates that the Board's decision in recognizing the Association's diploma should have made known to the Association one way or another.
We have also noted that there are in fact channels for those trainee radiographers who are not qualified at the moment to obtain qualifications through examination for registration as radiographers. The Board will assess the applicants and conduct an examination for that purpose, if necessary.
The subcommittee therefore accepts that section 6(e) of the Regulation should remain as it is.
With these remarks, Mr President, I support the Regulation.
2990 HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995
DR LEONG CHE-HUNG: Mr President, I rise to support the passage of the Radiographers (Registration and Disciplinary Procedure) Regulation tabled today in the Council in its original form. I would also urge Honourable Members to do likewise as this will be the fruit of some 15 years — 15, I repeat — of deliberation by the Radiographers Board. The passage of this Regulation will be a day for jubilation for bona fide radiographers for it sets the pathway for them to be properly registered.
Proper professional registration is a serious matter for the profession concerned for it ensures a better public safety protection and it marks the date when quacks are being weeded out.
I further support that this Registration is based on standards. This is the only way and I presume that it is on this principle that my honourable colleague, Mr Michael HO, has rightfully decided to, against his initial judgment, to withdraw his proposed amendment.
Two groups of people, However, who are involved in radiography would still be left in limbo. They are currently not covered by the regulation of the Radiographers Board — these are the dental surgery assistants and the nuclear medicine technologists.
Dental surgery assistants deal with radiography of the teeth and jaw in dental clinics, and nuclear medicine technologists deal with diagnosis and treatment of disease entirely using nuclear medicine. They, by inference of the Supplementary Medical Professions Ordinance, fall within the profession of radiographer and should therefore be under the control of this Regulation.
I have sought clarification from the Chairman of the Radiographers Board who said in reply: "for a person practising part of the activities included in the scope of a radiographer's practice" and I repeat, practising part of the activities, "the control is outside the terms of reference of the Radiographers Board if the person is not a registrable radiographer". With respect, I beg to disagree for this in essence is saying that if you only practise surgery and not any other aspects of medicine, you do not have to register with the Medical Council and you are outside the control of the Medical Council.
If the registration of radiographers are based on standards, then clearly exempting and ignoring these two categories of persons who work in radiography is unacceptable.
I am not requesting the Administration to have these changed at this eleventh hour, but would request assurance from the Health and Welfare Branch that this aspect should be considered as soon as possible in the names of public safety and professional standards.
I support the passage.
HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995 2991
MR MICHAEL HO (in Cantonese): Mr President, I rise to speak in support of the Radiographers (Registration and Disciplinary Procedure) Regulation.
During this interim period, the subcommittee has met with the Government and groups concerned. After the meeting, I have obtained a better understanding of the issues that have been discussed by the Radiographers Board over the years. Besides, the Government has also given us a very clear reply. I agree with the stance adopted by the Radiographers Board which is, in respect of these courses, the association concerned was well aware of the decision of the Board before it offered its courses in 1993. I also agree that although the graduates copncerned cannot register under Part III, it would not affect their livelihood. Hence, I do not intend to move any amendment.
That does not mean that I have changed my original decision. Because of the Easter holdiays and the recess of the House Committee, I had no choice but to submit my draft amendment to this Council before the last meeting of the House Committee in accordance with the 12 working-days rule under Standing Orders.
With these remarks, I support the Regulation.
ORAL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Declaring 'Hung Lau' Building a Monument
1. MR MAN SAI-CHEONG asked (in Cantonese): Mr President, it is learnt that the Antiquities Advisory Board has agreed that a recommendation should be made to the Recreation and Culture Branch for declaring the "Hung Lau" building at the Castle Peak Farm in Tuen Mun as a monument. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council what specific follow-up actions it has taken, and what decision it has made, on the Board's recommendation?
SECRETARY FOR RECREATION AND CULTURE: Mr President, I would first like to clarify that the Antiquities Advisory Board (AAB) did not specifically recommend the declaration of Hung Lau itself as a monument. At its meeting on February 1995, the AAB recommended for preservation as a monument the former Castle Peak Farm, within which boundaries Hung Lau stands.
The Administration now proposes to invite the Regional Council to establish and manage a public park on part of the site of the old Castle Peak Farm in keeping with the local surroundings and the history of the Farm for the benefit of the people of Hong Kong. We aim to include the Hung Lau building
2992 HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995
as a focal point within this park. A concrete proposal will be drawn up for the Regional Council's consideration in due course.
Since February 1995, the Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO) has taken various steps to follow up on this matter. The AMO is consulting all interested branches and departments within the Government to ascertain the precise boundaries, ownership, occupation, use, zoning and any future plans for the various publicly and privately owned lots lying within the old Castle Peak Farm's boundaries. In addition, the owners of the various lots are now being contacted to obtain their views on the declaration. This process is rather complex and must be done thoroughly. It will therefore take some time to complete.
Preliminary discussions have also been held with the owner of the private lot on which Hung Lau stands. We have now obtained agreement in principle from the owner to surrender to the Government the relevant part of this lot, including Hung Lau itself, subject to certain aspects, such as the handling of the existing tenants in Hung Lau, being satisfactorily resolved.
We hope to be able to resolve most of the key issues within the next 12 months or so to enable us to formally declare part of the former Castle Peak Farm in Tuen Mun as a monument.
MR MAN SAI-CHEONG (in Cantonese): Apart from taking into consideration the views of the Antiquities Advisory Board, has the Government consulted local and overseas academics on their assessment of the historical merits of Hung Lau?
SECRETARY FOR RECREATION AND CULTURE: Mr President, the AAB has taken into consideration a wide range of professional opinions on the historical and archaeological merits of Hung Lau and the old Castle Peak Farm. In addition, we have received views from the Tuen Mun District Board as well as from the Regional Council members themselves about their desire to preserve Hung Lau as a monument.
MR TANG SIU-TONG (in Cantonese): Mr President, the Government has mentioned in the fourth paragraph of the main reply that the owner of the private lot on which Hung Lau stands had agreed to surrender the relevant part of the lot to the Government. Could the Government inform this Council whether the owner has agreed to surrender it without charge, or he has sold it to the Government, or the Government has to resume the land?
HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995 2993
SECRETARY FOR RECREATION AND CULTURE: Mr President, as I pointed out in my main answer, the owner of the private lot on which Hung Lau stands, has agreed, in principle, to surrender without charge to the Government the lot on which Hung Lau stands.
Franchised Bus Drivers
2. MRS MIRIAM LAU asked (in Cantonese): Under the current system for the licensing of drivers, holders of driving licences for vehicles of classes 9 and 10 (Private Bus and Public Bus) are authorized to drive vehicles of classes 4 and 5 (Private Light Bus and Public Light Bus) without having to submit separate applications for the latter type of licence. However, holders of driving licences for vehicles of class 17 (Public Bus Franchised) are required to pass a driving test before they are permitted to drive vehicles of classes 4 and 5. The Transport Department maintains that this system will help to ensure an adequate pool of drivers for franchised buses. Will the Government inform this Council:
(a) whether it is aware of any difficulties encountered by the franchised bus companies in the recruitment of bus drivers in the past three years; if so, what was the wastage of drivers of franchised buses during this period;
(b) whether the Transport Department is in possession of any information to show that the wastage rate in respect of franchised public bus drivers who are also holders of driving licences for vehicles of classes 4 and 5 is higher than that of those franchised public bus drivers without the latter type of licence;
(c) what are the differences in the driving standard requirements between a driving licence for vehicles of classes 9 and 10 (Private Bus and Public Bus) and a driving licence for vehicles of class 17 (Public Bus-Franchised); and
(d) whether it will consider permitting holders of driving licences for vehicles of class 17 to drive vehicles of classes 4 and 5 on the same basis as holders of driving licences for vehicles of classes 9 and 10?
SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT: Mr President, there has always been an overall shortage of franchised bus drivers. Over the past three years, 1 700 bus drivers left franchised bus companies, representing a wastage rate of about 8%. During the same period, franchised bus driver requirement increased at an annual rate of over 2% to meet the need arising from service improvements. Despite constant recruitment exercises conducted by franchised bus companies, the driver requirement could not be fully met and on average there were over 150 vacancies during the three-year period.
2994 HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995
The Transport Department does not have any information to show that the wastage of franchised bus drivers who hold private and public light bus driving licences is higher. As 74% now working with franchised bus companies are licensed to drive franchised buses only, the comparison would not provide a meaningful indicator.
As far as driving tests are concerned, there is no difference between the standards required for driving private, public and franchised buses.
An ample and continuous supply of qualified bus drivers is essential for maintaining proper bus services. The primary concern of the Transport Department is that bus services provided to the travelling public are adequate and reliable. A separate and distinct category of franchised bus driving licence is therefore necessary to safeguard the interest of the vast majority of the travelling public who use franchised bus services.
The franchised bus companies provide free and specialized training to new recruits and make arrangements for them to attend the Transport Department's driving test. These arrangements constitute an important part of the obligations of the companies to ensure that there is a stable and secured pool of manpower. By providing free training, allowances and job opportunities to unqualified trainees, it is only reasonable to expect that resources devoted to these programmes are not wasted.
Any potential drain on the supply of franchised bus drivers therefore must be a matter of concern. Nevertheless, the Transport Department has indeed examined the possibility of direct issue of private and public light bus driving licences to holders of franchised bus driving licences. In principle, and subject to franchised bus services not being adversely affected, consideration may be given to relaxing the licensing conditions governing franchised buses when it is opportune to do so.
MRS MIRIAM LAU (in Cantonese): The second paragraph of the main reply pointed out that Transport Department did not have any information to show that the wastage rate of franchised bus drivers who hold private and public light bus driving licences was higher. The sixth paragraph also mentioned that the authorities might consider relaxing the licensing conditions governing franchised buses when it was opportune to do so. Could the Secretary explain the meaning of "when it was opportune"? Moreover, as there is no relationship between the wastage rate of franchised public bus drivers and their possession of private bus and public bus driving licenses, why should the licensing conditions governing franchised buses not be relaxed immediately and have to wait for an opportune time instead?
HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995 2995
SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT: Mr President, as I have pointed out in my principal reply, the essential consideration must be that we take a prudent approach in relaxing the conditions governing this particular type of licence. This particular type of licence is there for a good reason. As I have also explained, most, in other words, the vast majority of existing public franchised bus drivers hold only one kind of licence, and therefore it is not particularly meaningful to consider whether the minority of them holding other licences contribute significantly or otherwise to wastage.
As regards timing, I understand that the Transport Department has kept the situation under review and will continue to consider the overall supply situation of franchised bus drivers. As Members may know, on Hong Kong Island at least, in the course of this year, there may be significant changes to the operations of franchised buses and I think it would not be prudent to relax this requirement before the situation is more settled.
MR MICHAEL HO (in Cantonese): The Government said in the fifth paragraph that the main purpose of retaining driving licence for vehicles of class 17 was to hope that resources devoted to providing free training by the franchised bus companies for their staff were not wasted. Will the Government inform this Council of the reason why the problem of driver wastage could not be solved by establishing contractual arrangements between the bus companies and their staff? Why does the Government have to interfere with the labour market through a particular transport policy and a licensing system in order to prevent the holders of driving licence for vehicles of class 17 from changing their jobs? Why does the Government not consider solving the manpower problem by providing more qualified drivers instead of interfering with the labour market of a free economy?
SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT: Mr President, there is no question of interfering into the free market as alleged by Mr Michael HO. The separate and distinct class of licence is there for the reason of ensuring a steady and stable supply of franchised bus drivers. The reality of the situation is that a lot of unqualified trainees enter the trade without any other driving qualifications and therefore bus companies feel it necessary to provide the training to allow them to be qualified under this particular type of licence.
2996 HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995
MR TAM YIU-CHUNG (in Cantonese): Mr President, could the Government confirm that three years ago, the Motor Transport Workers Union and its associated union related to the China Motor Bus Company have requested several times for the relaxation of the licensing conditions governing franchised buses, especially when the China Motor Bus Company was laying off its employees? But their views and requests are still not being entertained by the Government. Has the Government been slighting the unions' views and demands?
PRESIDENT: Are you able to answer, Secretary?
SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT: Mr President, there is no intention of disrespect or of ignoring the views of the Motor Transport Workers Union and its associated union related to the China Motor Bus Company (CMB). I can confirm that it is indeed the case that the question was raised by the Union in connection with the withdrawal of 26 routes from CMB and the transfer to Citibus two years ago. The question was raised and the Department, I believe, has had a number of discussions with the Union and their representatives in the course of these two years. And in the course of these two years, the position taken by the Department is the same as I have explained today and, that is, if the bus driver supply situation is stabilized, particularly towards the end of this year, then there is every reason to consider a relaxation. But before then, it will be very imprudent and unwise to relax this requirement prematurely.
MR WONG WAI-YIN (in Cantonese): Mr President, in the first paragraph of his reply the Secretary has emphasized in particular that there has always been an overall shortage of franchised bus drivers, and that the shortage rate was rather high as there were over 150 vacancies on an average. One of the solutions to this problem is to reduce the number of runs. Since there is a shortage of bus drivers, the number of runs has to be reduced,
otherwise the bus drivers will have to work overtime or to take less leave in order to maintain the average number of runs. Could the Secretary inform us whether there is any figure to show how serious the situation is in terms of overtime work undertaken by the drivers as a result of manpower shortage? Will such a situation have any adverse effect on safe driving or will it cause to passengers traffic accidents which should otherwise be avoidable? Will the Secretary inform us how to ensure that the quality of the driver in driving would not be affected by their overtime work or the reduction in their leave periods?
HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995 2997
SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT: Mr President, the question of safety is of paramount importance in the regulating and management of our public bus services. Therefore the shortage or otherwise of bus drivers does not have any direct impact on safety because overtime worked by individual drivers is governed by internal rules of the various companies concerned, on the basis of a code of practice prescribed by the Transport Department. In other words, there must be an adequate period of rest between shifts. So the question of safety does not arise.
On the question of whether wastage has any impact on services in general, I think mainly the impact lies in lost trips, as pointed out by Mr WONG, rather than in safety. And I believe all the bus companies are mounting almost continuous recruitment exercises on the one hand while organizing training programmes on the other, and yet at the same time, improving their conditions of service so that staff, particularly experienced staff, can be retained.
MRS MIRIAM LAU (in Cantonese): Would the Secretary inform this Council whether the Transport Department would consider requiring the franchised bus companies to review their allocation resources and to improve, under the premise of no increase in bus fares, the salaries and fringe benefits of their drivers and to curb the wastage rate?
SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT: Yes, Mr President.
MR MICHAEL HO (in Cantonese): Mr President, the Secretary has not answered my question. I understand that the bus companies have devoted resources to staff training. But my question is, why does the Government not consider letting the companies retain their trained staff through contractual arrangements between these private companies and their drivers, rather than trying to help out by drawing up transport policies and creating a licensing system?
SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT: Mr President, there are various contractual arrangements between the companies and their drivers. It is there, but even under certain contractual situations, again on the basis of fluidity and freedom of movement in the market, staff are always free to resign.
Secondly, as to why we have one particular type of licence, I think I have explained this on a number of occasions earlier to previous questions: the main point is that most of the recruits entering these bus companies as franchised bus
2998 HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995
drivers started off as unqualified drivers and therefore do not hold any other licences. It is of course free for them in their spare time, so to speak, to obtain other qualifications enabling them, as it were, to drive other types of vehicles.
Status of the Chinese Communist Party in Hong Kong
3. MISS CHRISTINE LOH asked: Will the Government clarify the status under Hong Kong law of the local branch of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which is commonly stated to be under the leadership of a body called the Hong Kong and Macau Work Committee, and state whether such an entity is registered under the Societies Ordinance or another law; if not, why not?
SECRETARY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS: Mr President, no such entity is registered under any Hong Kong ordinance. Nor has any such entity applied for registration, or notified the Societies Officer of the particulars required under the Societies Ordinance.
MISS CHRISTINE LOH: Mr President, it is clear that the Administration does not wish to answer this question but I would still like to put to the Administration, via the Secretary, whether it is aware of the existence of the Hong Kong and Macau Work Committee stationed here? And secondly, if it is aware of its existence, then whether it is aware that it is effectively the Hong Kong Branch of the CCP?
SECRETARY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS: Mr President, we too have seen reports of the existence of the CCP entity in Hong Kong, but no such entity has ever been declared officially to us. Nor, to our knowledge, has such entity associated itself with any public activities in Hong Kong.
MISS EMILY LAU (in Cantonese): Mr President, I just cannot believe my own ears. I would like the Government to confirm that it is aware of the existence of the CCP and its activities in Hong Kong. In addition, could the Secretary inform this Council, if any foreign political organization wishes to stage their activities in Hong Kong, what procedures should it undergo under the laws of Hong Kong, before it can operate officially?
PRESIDENT: Two questions there, Secretary.
HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995 2999
SECRETARY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS: Mr President, on Miss Emily LAU's first question, I have nothing further to add to the earlier answer I gave in response to Miss LOH's question. On Miss LAU's second question, I would like to make the point that any organization can operate under an appropriate name provided its activities are lawful and it complies with the legal requirements for establishment. There are various ways in which an organization can be legally established, two ordinances are particularly relevant: the Societies Ordinance and the Companies Ordinance. But it is principally a matter for the individual organization concerned.
PRESIDENT: Miss LAU, not answered?
MISS EMILY LAU (in Cantonese): Mr President, the Secretary has not answered my question. I do not quite understand why the Government does not openly reveal to the people that it is aware of the fact that the CCP has all along been existing in Hong Kong. Mr President, I hope the Government would formally answer this question. I would also like the Government to inform us whether the laws of Hong Kong would allow foreign political organizations to operate in Hong Kong?
SECRETARY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS: Mr President, I am afraid Miss LAU has not heard the answer I gave. Let me repeat it again. We too have seen reports of the existence of the Chinese Communist Party entity in Hong Kong, but no such entity has ever been declared officially to us. Nor, to our knowledge, has such entity associated itself with any public activities in Hong Kong.
As regards the operation of any other organizations in Hong Kong, again I have explained the legal position: It is up to the individual organization concerned to apply for registration under the relevant legislation for it to have the legal status in order to operate in Hong Kong.
MS ANNU WU: Thank you, Mr President. Has such an entity ever applied for exemption from registration and whether registration has been exempted or dispensed with by the Government based on whatever administrative power or legal power the Government has?
3000 HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995
SECRETARY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS: Mr President, my first answer to Miss LOH's question actually explains very clearly. Let me again quote:
"No such entity is registered under any Hong Kong ordinance. Nor has any such entity applied for registration, or notified the Societies Officer of the particulars required under the Societies Ordinance."
PRESIDENT: Not answered, Ms WU?
MS ANNA WU: Thank you, Mr President. I realize what the Secretary has stated in the written answer, however, my question relates to whether such an entity has ever applied for exemption from registration?
SECRETARY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS: Mr President, the Societies Ordinance provides very clearly under what circumstances can a particular organization or a society apply for exemption, and I think the references in the Ordinance are quite clear, and under those sections I have no information as regards any such entity applying for exemption.
DR CONRAD LAM (in Cantonese): Mr President, I do not quite understand what the Secretary said in his reply. My question is very simple: Under the laws in Hong Kong at present, are the CCP activities in Hong Kong legal or illegal?
SECRETARY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS: Mr President, at the risk of repeating myself again and again, let me make a couple of points in answer to Dr LAM's question. Any organization can operate under an appropriate name in Hong Kong provided its activities are lawful and it complies with the legal requirements for establishment, and there are various ways for that organization to establish itself legally.
The other point I would like to make is: The Chinese Government representatives have been operating in Hong Kong for quite some time and there is no reason why we need to take action differently if in the past we have deemed action is not necessary for whatever follow-up.
HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995 3001
MR MARTIN LEE (in Cantonese): Mr President, I can remember that both the Basic Law Drafting Committee and the Basic Law Consultation Committee were exempted, through the Government from registration. I would like the Government to clarify whether it is true that anybody, after he establishes an organization, could do whatever he wants, provided that he does not officially inform the Government, that is, if the organization exists secretly, he could do whatever he wants?
SECRETARY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS: Mr President, I think, again, I have explained that there are legal provisions for an organization to apply to establish and operate legally and lawfully in Hong Kong. So the relevant legal provisions would have to be followed if the organization wishes to establish and to operate properly in Hong Kong. And the Societies Ordinance spells out the various conditions under which a particular organization, a particular society, needs to apply for notification and the circumstances under which it can be exempted from notification.
PRESIDENT: Not answered, Mr LEE?
MR MARTIN LEE (in Cantonese): Mr President, the Secretary probably does not understand the law very much, since he is now looking at it from the positive side. An organization is certainly lawful if it has registered under the law. But the problem is, if it has never registered under the law, it would then be an organization. Under these circumstances, I wonder if it is appropriate for the Secretary for Constitutional Affairs to answer the question? Or should it be answered by the Secretary for Security or the Attorney General, as it involves the question of legality?
PRESIDENT: I think the question borders on the hypothetical, Mr LEE.
MR CHIM PUI-CHUNG (in Cantonese): Mr President, the Secretary could tell the people of Hong Kong that with the exception of the triad society, political parties all over the world, such as the Conservative Party in United Kingdom, the Republican Party in the United States of America, or even the Chinese Communist Party may, having registered under the laws of Hong Kong, stage appropriate political activities and be considered as lawful. This is not exclusively applicable to the CCP only. This is the rationale, is it not?
3002 HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995
SECRETARY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS: Mr President, if I understand Mr CHIM's statement correctly, then I would share with his sentiments in that statement.
MR LEE WING-TAT (in Cantonese): Mr President, according to the Societies Ordinance as amended by this Council last year, any organization shall register with the Societies Officer, that is, the Commissioner of Police, before it can carry out its activities. Will the Secretary inform us whether or not the working committee of the CCP could be formally invited to register with the Government through this assembly, so that whatever work it conducts in Hong Kong would all become legalized?
SECRETARY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS: Mr President, I think we are going round in circles. First of all, as I have said, we have seen reports of the existence of the CCP entity in Hong Kong, but we are not aware of such entity having associated itself with any public activities. Nor has any such entity declared itself officially to us. So I just fail to see what follow-up action we can or need to take.
PRESIDENT: Not answered, Mr LEE?
MR LEE WING-TAT (in Cantonese): Will the Secretary inform us why, if the Government is aware that the working committee of the CCP has been operating in Hong Kong, has the Societies Officer not taken any action? If there are other societies keep operating in Hong Kong and the Government has received reports about them, will the Government allow such societies to carry on like this instead of inviting them to register directly with the Government through the Commissioner of Police?
SECRETARY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS: Mr President, allow me to explain what action we normally would take under the Societies Ordinance. We normally would not take action under the Societies Ordinance unless there is a good reason to do so. And in this context that would obviously involve illegal activities which pose a threat to law and order or the security of Hong Kong. I do not think the circumstances in the alleged case mentioned by the Honourable Member should apply.
HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995 3003
MR MARTIN LEE (in Cantonese): Mr President, talking about going around in circles, it is the Secretary himself who is going around in circles. It is very clear to us Legislative Council Members. The point is that if registration is done, it is legal; if not, it is illegal. Unless the Secretary says that the Communist Party is superior than the laws of Hong Kong in which case, I shall have nothing to say. In fact, the matter is very clear. If it is operating in Hong Kong, it has to be registered; if it has not registered in Hong Kong, then it should not operate. The administration should not wait until it has broken the law before it would pursue the matter. Even if it has not broken the law, as long as it is operating in Hong Kong, it has to be registered. I hope the Secretary would answer my question, that is, whether he agrees with my view on this?
SECRETARY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS: Mr President, I really have nothing much further to add. But again, Mr LEE himself mentioned that before action is taken, the particular entity would need to show that it has activities carrying on in Hong Kong and as I said in my earlier answer, we have no knowledge that such entity associated itself with any public activities in Hong Kong.
MR ANDREW WONG (in Cantonese): Mr President, just now both the Honourable LEE Wing-tat and the Honourable Martin LEE have mentioned registration. However, registration is not required under the amended Societies Ordinance; the giving of notice will suffice. Therefore, I wonder if the question should be amended to read as: Would we invite the entity to apply for notification if we are aware that it has been operating?
SECRETARY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS: Mr President, could I seek your ruling on whether this is a hypothetical proposition?
PRESIDENT: I think that question is within Standing Orders.
SECRETARY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS: Well, in the present circumstances we have no such entity applying for notification under the Societies Ordinance.
3004 HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 April 1995 Importation of Labour
4. MR LEE CHEUK-YAN asked (in Cantonese): With regard to the importation of labour scheme, will the Government inform this Council:
(a) of the current distribution of imported workers by job titles in each of the industrial and service sectors;
(b) whether the list of employers of imported workers will be disclosed, if not, why not; and
(c) whether the 500 health-care workers, which the Social Welfare Department has indicated that it plans to IMPORT for privately-operated homes for the aged, will come under the quota of the 25 000 workers to be imported?
SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER: Mr President, on the first part of the question:
(a) The latest statistical breakdown of imported workers by sectors and by job titles are in the Annex tabled with this reply. Because this Annex runs to 104 pages Members will appreciate that we cannot translate it in time, so I hope to have it ready as soon as possible.
On the second part of the question:
(b) The General Scheme has been operating smoothly and with a high degree of transparency. The classification of industry groups, the quota allocation criteria and the allocation results by industry groups are already made public including of course to this Council. However, disclosure of information about individual employers of imported workers would involve disclosure of their own manpower planning policies and practices within the companies concerned which some companies may not wish to make public. Members will appreciate as the employers had not been notified of such an arrangement before they applied for the quota allocation, we cannot do this without their consent.
We will, however, consider the feasibility of disclosing the names of employers in the next allocation exercise when we review the allocation operations in the coming few months.
On the last part of the question:
(c) Importation of health care workers are allowed under the General Scheme and are subject to the same application procedure and quota allocation criteria, including the ceiling of 25 000 workers.
