Report No. 67) Report No. 11/16-17 of the House Committee on Consideration of Subsidiary Legislation and Other Instruments 3622 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 15 February 2017 ADDRESS PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Address. Mr Abraham SHEK will address the Council on the "Public Accounts Committee Report No. 67". Public Accounts Committee Report No. 67 MR ABRAHAM SHEK: President, on behalf of the Public Accounts Committee ("the Committee"), I have the honour to table our Report No. 67 today. Out of the 10 chapters covered by the Director of Audit's Report No. 67, the Committee has decided to hold hearings on two chapters that contain more serious allegations of irregularities or shortcomings. These chapters are "Funding of universities by University Grants Committee ('UGC')", and the "Maintenance and safety-related improvements of public rental housing flats". The Committee has also studied the other seven chapters by asking the relevant bureaux and departments to provide written replies to Members' questions on how they addressed the inadequacies raised in the Director of Audit's Report No. 67. We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to these bureaux and departments in providing detailed replies to our questions. The Committee was satisfied with these replies, and decided that no public hearing on these chapters was necessary. Regarding the issues relating to the Research Grants Council ("the Council") raised in Chapter 6 of the Director of Audit's Report, the Committee has conducted a visit to the Council and received a detailed briefing on the Council's mechanisms to assess research proposals and to avoid conflict of interests of its members. On behalf of the Committee, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Council and its Secretariat for arranging such a useful briefing to enhance members' understanding. The Committee's Report tabled today covers our conclusions and recommendations on the chapter "Funding of universities by University Grants Committee" only. For the chapter on the "Maintenance and safety-related improvements of public rental housing flats", as voluminous information has been provided by the witnesses on the issue relating to excess lead in drinking water in some public rental housing estates, the Committee has decided to defer the tabling of the report on this chapter to allow ourselves more time to consider the issues. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 15 February 2017 3623 I will now report the conclusions and recommendations on the chapter "Funding of universities by University Grants Committee". In the 2016-2017 financial year, the Administration's recurrent expenditure on education amounted to HK$74.7 billion, the largest spending area of the Administration. Out of this sum, around HK$18 billion was earmarked for grants and reimbursements provided to the eight universities funded by UGC. Given the substantial amount of resources involved in tertiary education, UGC and the UGC Secretariat should exercise good governance and be transparent and accountable in using public resources.

Questa la lieta novella benevolmente annunciata da tutti i giornali poco prima di Pasqua. Scorpacciata di conigli, dunque? Niente affatto. Ad avere questa caratteristica sarebbe solo il ciocco- lato nero, grazie al suo elevato contenuto di cacao e quindi di sostanze pro- tettive per i vasi sanguigni, i cosiddetti flavonoidi. Si suppone che 100 grammi contengano la stessa quantità di flavonoidi di sei mele. Per fortuna mi piac- ciono più le mele che il cioccolato. Qualcuno ne ha comunque beneficiato: il mio coniglietto di Pasqua bianco, che quest’anno ha salvato la pelle. Sei mele: così facendo potrei facilmente seguire la regola di mangiare frutta e verdura cinque volte al giorno, un’operazione a dire il vero assai faticosa. Un tempo, per rimanere in salute bastava una sola mela, almeno stando al pro- verbio «una mela al giorno toglie il medico di torno».

We are making a stakeholder’s submission in our capacity as a political party of the pro-democracy camp in Hong Kong for the 2018 Universal Periodic Review on the People's Republic of China (PRC), and in particular, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). Currently, our party has five members elected to the Hong Kong Legislative Council, the unicameral legislature of HKSAR. 2. In the Universal Periodic Reviews of PRC in 2009 and 2013, not much attention was paid to the human rights, political, and social developments in the HKSAR, whilst some positive comments were reported on the HKSAR situation. i We wish to highlight that there have been substantial changes to the actual implementation of human rights in Hong Kong since the last reviews, which should be pinpointed for assessment in this Universal Periodic Review. In particular, as a pro-democracy political party with members in public office at the Legislative Council (LegCo), we wish to draw the Council’s attention to issues related to the political structure, election methods and operations, and the exercise of freedom and rights within and outside the Legislative Council in HKSAR. Most notably, recent incidents demonstrate that the PRC and HKSAR authorities have not addressed recommendations made by the Human Rights Committee in previous concluding observations in assessing the implementation of International Convention on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).

  • Paper for Legco Panel on Home Affairs Sports Venues for 2006
    Paper No. CB(2)497/99-00(01) Paper for LegCo Panel on Home Affairs Sports Venues for 2006 Asian Games INTRODUCTION Before confirming its support for the initiative by the Sports Federation & Olympic of Hong Kong, China (SF&OC) to express an interest in bidding for the right to host the 2006 Asian Games, the SAR Government reviewed the suitability of our sports venues to host the events of the Games. To assist in this review, we engaged the services of the sports venue planning and design company Bligh Voller Nield Sport Pty Ltd (BVN) [ 百和紐特 ]. BVN’s recent experience includes helping to plan and design venues for the 2000 Olympic Games and evaluating the venues used in Bangkok for the 1998 Asian Games. STUDY PROCESS 2. The BVN brief was to assess whether or not the SAR has sufficient sports venues to host a world-class Asian Games in 2006, and one which could be the “best ever Asian Games”. BVN began work on 3 November with a programme of site visits and consolidation of information 2 available from their own data sources. Prior to beginning detailed site inspections and evaluations, BVN examined the report on venue availability prepared by the Provisional Urban Council (PUC) in September 1999. A copy of the report prepared by BVN is at the Annex. Planning Principles 3. In the course of their study the BVN team took account of the typical requirements of venues for major event planning. These differ from the requirements of community sports facilities, and include the following – (a) the need for spectator, media and competition facilities

  • Media Statement Date: 15 November 2018
    MEDIA STATEMENT DATE: 15 NOVEMBER 2018 FORREST REVEALS RAPID FUTURE FOR SPORT IN ASIA A revolutionary sports and entertainment concept is set to sweep the Asia Pacific region with Andrew Forrest’s new-look elite-rugby competition receiving a critical tick of approval. The World Rugby Council conditionally sanctioned a bold new sporting brand, Global Rapid Rugby, overnight. The 2019 season would kick-off in late February with teams competing for an AUD$1 million first prize. Once official approval is granted by all participating playing unions, a new era in sports and entertainment will begin. Rapid Rugby details that can now be unveiled include… • Eight teams across the Asia Pacific • 14 rounds, 56 games plus four finals • Up to 20 of the world’s best players as competition marquees • A fast-paced, 70-minute total game time • New and revised laws to increase ball in play time towards 55% • A dynamic, viewer-friendly 90-minute total broadcast product • Exciting stadium entertainment at every game, everywhere Global Rapid Rugby founder Andrew Forrest AO described the World Rugby Council decision as an historic moment for the sport, all sports fans and the Asia Pacific. “It has not been a simple road,” he said while commending World Rugby for supporting his vision in a Social Media video announcing the proposed look and feel of Rapid Rugby in 2019. “I’d like to thank everyone that has been bold and brave enough to support this brand-new competition. Like all sports, rugby needs to evolve. The modern sports public is spoilt for choice and demands easily digestible, fast-paced action.” The potential for rugby to flourish in Asia and for the sport to benefit local communities is central to Rapid Rugby’s mission, according to Forrest.
