Mr Ronald ARCULLI will address the Council on the Report of the Finance Committee on the examination of the Draft Estimates of Expenditure 2000-2001 (June 2000). Report of the Finance Committee on the examination of the Draft Estimates of Expenditure 2000-2001 (June 2000) MR RONALD ARCULLI: Madam President, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I would like to present the Committee's Report on its examination of the Draft Estimates of Expenditure for 2000-01, which were referred to the Committee by you, Madam President, in accordance with Rule 71(11) of the Rules of Procedure. The Finance Committee held a total of six special meetings consisting of 18 open sessions from 21 to 24 March 2000 to examine the Draft Estimates of Expenditure. The purpose of the examination is to ensure that the Administration is seeking provision no more than is necessary for the execution of its policies in 2000-01. Prior to the special meetings, written questions were invited from Members on the Draft Estimates. This year, a total of 1 348 written questions from Members were forwarded to the Administration for its reply. This Report gives an account of how the examination was conducted and contains a full record of the proceedings of the 18 sessions in Chapters II to XIX. At each of the sessions, Members put questions to the Policy Secretary concerned after his/her brief presentation focusing on the spending priorities and provisions sought under various programmes areas. Supplementary questions and requests for additional information were dealt with by the Administration after the meeting in writing. Broad policy issues raised during the meetings were referred to the relevant Panels for follow-up, where necessary. Madam President, I would like to express my appreciation to Members for their enthusiasm in forwarding their written questions and in participating in the special meetings. I am also grateful to representatives of the Administration 7208 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 7 June 2000 who took part in very fruitful discussions with Members at these special meetings. Last but not least, I wish to thank the staff of the Finance Bureau and the Legislative Council Secretariat for supporting the work of the Committee. Thank you, Madam President. ORAL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Questions. First question. Public Confidence in Government's Work 1. MR LEE WING-TAT (in Cantonese): Madam President, the Hong Kong Transition Project randomly selected 704 persons for interview in mid-April, and 54% of the respondents were dissatisfied with the performance of the incumbent Chief Executive. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council whether it will review its policy objectives, and of the measures it will take to salvage the prestige of its governance? SECRETARY FOR HOME AFFAIRS (in Cantonese): Madam President, the Hong Kong Government attaches great importance to the opinions of the community in formulating its policies. We monitor opinion polls and surveys regularly to gauge the views of the public on issues of concern. We have taken note of the survey referred to in the question raised by Mr LEE Wing-tat, which is one of the many opinion polls conducted in Hong Kong. We will make reference to these opinion polls. Indeed, the Government also conducts opinion polls regularly. The Home Affairs Bureau has been conducting bi-monthly telephone opinion surveys since 1983, in which an average of 1 500 of eligible respondents are successfully interviewed in each survey. In the past five years, the percentage of respondents who considered that the Government was concerned about public opinions and had taken them into account when deciding on policy and actions was consistently around 60%. The percentage remains stable before and after the reunification. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 7 June 2000 7209 Regardless of the results of opinion polls, the Chief Executive and the Government are fully committed to Hong Kong's well-being and have the short and long term interests of the people of Hong Kong at heart. Our directions are clear. We will on the one hand maintain economic development to provide business opportunities and gainful employment for Hong Kong people. On the other, we will keep rolling forward our social policies to upgrade the quality of life in Hong Kong. The Administration will take into account public opinions when deciding its policies and actions, and will regularly review and fine-tune existing policy objectives to ensure that they are geared towards the overall and long-term interests of Hong Kong. This process is subsumed in the Chief Executive's annual policy address and the Policy Objectives of individual Policy Bureaux. MR LEE WING-TAT (in Cantonese): Madam President, the survey mentioned shows that people do not only find the performance of the Chief Executive unsatisfactory by impression, one of the results gathered in the survey also shows that people think that the Chief Executive is too much influenced by commercial leaders and Beijing officials. How would the Chief Executive make improvements in response to the dissatisfaction of the people in this aspect? SECRETARY FOR HOME AFFAIRS (in Cantonese): Madam President, I have said in my main reply that we will make reference to the opinion surveys in formulating policies.

    LCQ1: Chinese language proficiency requirements for appointment to the civil service Page 1 of 4 LC Paper No. CB(1)1911/09-10(04) LCQ1: Chinese language proficiency requirements for appointment to the civil service **************************************************** Following is a question by the Hon Ip Kwok-him and a reply by the Secretary for the Civil Service, Miss Denise Yue, in the Legislative Council today (January 20): Question: At present, the appointment requirements for most civil service posts stipulate that the applicants must meet the Chinese and English language proficiency requirements. Quite a number of Hong Kong permanent residents who are South Asians have relayed to me that they were not offered appointment to the civil service because they failed to meet the Chinese language proficiency requirements. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (a) among those persons applying for civil service vacancies at junior, middle and senior ranks in the recent three years, of the respective numbers of Hong Kong permanent residents of South Asian descent who had been appointed and rejected; (b) whether any of the permanent residents of South Asian descent in (a) were not appointed solely because their Chinese language proficiency did not meet the appointment requirements; if not, of the reasons why they were not appointed; and (c) of the details of the amendments made by the Government since the reunification in respect of the Chinese language proficiency requirements for appointment as civil servants (including expatriate civil servants) at different levels? Reply: President, As stipulated in Article 9 of the Basic Law and section 3 of the Official Languages Ordinance (Cap 5), both Chinese and English are the official languages of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).
