The Chief Secretary for Administration will address the Council on "The Government Minute in response to the Report of the Public Accounts Committee No. 61". The Government Minute in response to the Report of the Public Accounts Committee No. 61 of February 2014 CHIEF SECRETARY FOR ADMINISTRATION (in Cantonese): President, laid on the table today is the Government Minute (GM) responding to Report No. 61 of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). When presenting Report No. 61 on 12 February to the Legislative Council, the Chairman of PAC gave comments on three chapters in the Director of Audit's Reports: (1) Direct land grants to private sports clubs at nil or nominal premium; (2) Management of roadside skips; and (3) Allocation and utilization of public rental housing flats. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 14 May 2014 10905 We are grateful for the time and efforts that the PAC has devoted to investigating these subjects. We accept the PAC's various recommendations and have set out in detail the specific responses of the relevant bureaux or departments in the GM. Today, I would like to highlight the key measures that we have taken in these important policy areas and the progress. On direct land grants to private sports clubs at nil or nominal premium, the Administration started the private recreational lease (PRL) policy review in September 2013. We will take into account the recommendations of Audit Commission (Audit) and the PAC during the review. The Home Affairs Bureau will take the lead in conducting the PRL policy review from a sports policy perspective and will involve other concerned Policy Bureaux and departments as necessary. In this regard, the Development Bureau and the Planning Department will provide input on land use and planning, and the Lands Department (LandsD) will provide input on land administration matters. In reviewing the PRL policy, we will take into account factors such as sports development needs, land use, site and facilities utilization, the interests of the lessees and their members, and the wider public interest. In the course of the review, we will also consider how to ensure an appropriate apportionment of sports and non-sports facilities on PRL sites. We expect that preliminary findings of the review will be available by the end of 2014. The Home Affairs Bureau has asked all lessees to open up their sports facilities more extensively. Apart from providing non-members with a much higher degree of access to their facilities, lessees are also required to operate junior membership schemes to allow talented young athletes to join the clubs as members at greatly reduced levels of subscription fee. The approved "opening up" scheme forms part of the Conditions of Grant when a PRL is renewed. The Home Affairs Bureau has increased publicity on the availability of sports facilities of lessees for use by outside bodies by various means including advertising in print media, requiring the lessees to provide full information on the "opening up" schemes on their websites, disseminating relevant information through Competent Authorities, District Officers and the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China and uploading the information onto the Home Affairs Bureau's website. 10906 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 14 May 2014 The Home Affairs Bureau will issue revised guidelines in mid-2014 to help lessees provide more detailed and informative reports on the implementation of the "opening up" schemes. The Home Affairs Bureau works closely with the LandsD and other government departments to ensure that PRL sites are used in accordance with their Conditions of Grant. The Home Affairs Bureau will monitor the utilization rates of sports facilities on PRL sites, in particular with regard to the requirement to give greater access to outside bodies in accordance with the approved new "opening up" schemes. Using the quarterly returns as a monitoring tool, the Home Affairs Bureau follows up with lessees in cases of low utilization and conducts random checks on the accuracy of the reported information. The Administration will work on further strengthening the monitoring mechanism and improving lease conditions. As part of the comprehensive policy review on PRL, the Home Affairs Bureau and the LandsD will clarify their respective responsibilities with regard to inspections on PRL sites and will formulate plans for routine inspections accordingly. In addition to conducting site inspections in the context of processing lease renewals, the LandsD will inspect sites where lease renewal is not yet due. The LandsD will, in consultation with the Home Affairs Bureau and other relevant bureaux and departments, continue to follow up on individual cases of irregularity and suspected non-compliance with the lease conditions as identified in the Audit Report and take lease enforcement action as appropriate.

  • Village House at No. 34 Lin Ma Hang, Sha Tau Kok, N.T
    N90 Historic Building Appraisal Village house at No. 34 Lin Ma Hang, Sha Tau Kok, N.T. The village of Lin Ma Hang (蓮麻坑) is located in the border area to the Historical south of Shenzhen (深圳). It is a Hakka (客家) village inhabited by clans Interest surnamed Cheung (張), Koon (官), Lau (劉), Sin (冼), Tsang (曾) and Ip (葉), with the Ip clan being the biggest in population. The Ips were originated from Luoxi Yue (螺溪約) of Jikang City (吉康都) in the county of Haifeng (海豐縣). Ip Si-fat (葉思發), the 11th generation ancestor at Luoxi Yue, started to settle in Lin Ma Hang over 300 years ago, and he is respected as the founding ancestor of the Ip clan in Lin Ma Hang. Lin Ma Hang is a member of the Ten Village Alliance in Sha Tau Kok (沙頭角十約). When the border was ‘closed’ in 1949, the village was split into two parts with the northern section initially named as Cheung Ming Tsuen (長命村) and later renamed as Cheung Ling Tsuen (長嶺 村), whilst the southern section retains its original name of Lin Ma Hang. At the frieze of the front elevation above the main entrance doorway of the house, there are Chinese calligraphy reading: “時在乙丑歲” (that is, the year of yi-chou), suggesting that the construction of the house was completed in 1925. According to the land records, the house partly falls on unallocated government land and partly falls on private land lots (Lots 656, 658, 659 and 1243 in D.D. 47) all owned by the Ip Clan members which altogether constitute the footprint of the subject village house.

  • Paper on the Operation of the Tin Sau Bazaar in Tin Shui Wai Prepared By
    立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(2)1299/12-13(08) Ref : CB2/PL/HA Panel on Home Affairs Background brief prepared by the Legislative Council Secretariat for the meeting on 14 June 2013 Tin Sau Bazaar Purpose 1. This paper provides background information on the setting up of Tin Sau Bazaar in Tin Shui Wai ("TSW") and summarizes the views and concerns of members of the Panel on Home Affairs ("the Panel") on the subject. Background 2. According to the Administration, the rental increase in shopping malls and markets in TSW, which had in turn led to high commodity prices and affected the livelihood of local residents, had been an on-going concern to the Yuen Long District Council ("DC") and residents in the district in recent years. There were also calls for the Government to increase local employment opportunities in TSW by establishing an open bazaar to boost the local economy. In the light of this, the Government had actively explored ways with different interested groups to address the needs of TSW residents. In response, the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals ("TWGHs") submitted a proposal to the Government, indicating its interest in operating an open bazaar in TSW on a non-profit-making basis. 3. On 1 September 2012, the Chief Secretary for Administration announced the proposal of setting up an open bazaar at Tin Sau Road with about 200 stalls to be operated and managed by TWGHs. According to the proposal, TWGHs would set up a social enterprise which would lease the stalls in the bazaar at lower rents to small businesses for selling daily necessities.

As requested by the Panel, this paper provides a consolidated response to the comments made by Members and deputations at the meeting. Development of Bazaars 2. Some Members and deputations raised at the meeting that the Government should formulate a policy for fostering bazaar development. The Government considers that any specific proposals of setting up bazaars should take into account the situation of individual district. A consensus on the proposal should be forged at the district level with full consideration of the views given by residents nearby and the support of the District Council after thorough discussion. If a consensus can be reached at the district level, depending on the specific nature of the bazaar, the relevant government departments will follow up the respective matters. District organisation may take up the planning and management role in order to provide the flexibility for better addressing the local demand. 3. Tin Sau Bazaar is one of the examples of establishing a bazaar in response to the specific situation and needs of a district. The Yuen Long District Office (YLDO) and the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs) have been actively engaging various stakeholders and listen to their views.
