財務委員會討論文件

2007年 11月 2日

檢討財務委員會及其轄下小組委員會的會議程序

目的 本文件概述立法會秘書處 (下稱 "秘書處 ")就財務委員會 (下稱 "財委會 ")及其轄下兩個小組委員會 (即人事編制小組委員會及工務小組

委員會 )的會議程序所進行的檢討結果。謹請委員批准根據檢討結果對

《財務委員會會議程序》、《人事編制小組委員會會議程序》及《工務

小組委員會會議程序》提出的擬議修訂。 背景 2. 《工務小組委員會會議程序》、《人事編制小組委員會會議

程序》及《財務委員會會議程序》 (下稱 "《會議程序》 ")分別於財委會

1994年 3月 11日、5月 13日及 7月 8日的會議上，因應秘書處 (於 1994年 4月成立 )從政府接手處理該等委員會／小組委員會的秘書職務作出討論時

獲得通過。《會議程序》由秘書處根據政府就有關財委會的運作發出

的使用者指引擬備，政府各科司級首長、部門首長及前財政科人員均

須使用該等指引。秘書處在整個草擬過程中，一直徵詢政府當局的意

見。新的《會議程序》其中一項主要改變，是加入有關選舉非官方的

立法會議員為財委會及其轄下兩個小組委員會的主席和副主席的安

排。 3. 自 1994年起，秘書處不時修改《會議程序》，以確立沿用已

久的行事方式或改善現行的行事方式及程序。這些改變包括選舉財委

會主席和副主席的安排、響起點名表決鐘的時間、財委會會議的時間、

邀請官員出席財委會會議以回應有關人事編制小組委員會／工務小組

委員會的項目的提問等。 4. 在 2006-2007年度會期臨近結束時，財委會及其轄下兩個小組

委員會曾考慮一些涉及具爭議性事宜的財務建議，並在會議上就引起

公眾廣泛關注的事宜與政府當局進行廣泛的討論。結果，委員提出一

些有關會議程序的問題，例如主席就發言時間作出決定的酌情權、人

事編制小組委員會／工務小組委員會會議的時間、中止議程項目的議

案、表達意見的議案等。財委會、人事編制小組委員會及工務小組委

員會秘書及法律顧問最近曾根據近期的發展對《會議程序》進行檢討。

以下是這次檢討的結果。

2

有關《會議程序》的檢討及建議

小組委員會就處理無須經預告而動議的議案的行事方式及程序作出決

定的權力

5. 人事編制小組委員會在 2007年 6月 13日會議上考慮一項議程

項目時，一位委員表示他擬在沒有作出預告的情況下動議一項議案，

人事編制小組委員會主席參考立法會其他委員會採用的會議程序，處

理在沒有作出預告的情況下於會議上動議的議案。該項議案是表達對

政府當局提出的一項要求，無意對人事編制小組委員會議程項目所提

出的建議造成實質的影響。主席認為擬動議的議案與該項議程項目相

關，並請委員示意應否在會議上繼續處理該項議案。繼在席過半數委

員表示支持立即處理該項議案後，主席批准委員動議該項議案。該項

議案隨後經動議後進行辯論，並在會議上付諸表決。議案獲得通過，

並納入人事編制小組委員會向財委會作出的建議的一部分。須考慮的

問題是：人事編制小組委員會在會議上考慮政府當局提交的建議時，

委員在沒有作出預告的情況下要求動議一項議案，人事編制小組委員

會自行決定處理這項要求的行事方式及程序是否合乎規程。

6. 《人事編制小組委員會會議程序》第 25段訂明： "除立法會議

事規則及獲財委會通過的會議程序另有規定外，人事編制小組委員會

可自行決定本身的行事方式及程序 [議事規則第 71(13)條 ]。"。把《立法

會議事規則》 (下稱 "《議事規則》 ")第 71(13)條納入第 25段，表示該段

的內容是以該款條文為依據。該款訂明： "除本議事規則另有規定外，

委員會 (即財委會 )及其轄下小組委員會 (即人事編制小組委員會及工務

小組委員會 )的行事方式及程序，由委員會自行決定 "。

7. 《議事規則》顯然曾深入考慮到，財委會及其轄下小組委員

會在處理事務時，將有需要就如何處理議事規則沒有訂明的事宜作出

決定。法律顧問認為，《議事規則》沒有任何條文顯示立法會有意向

小組委員會施加程序上的限制，以致小組委員會只能按照其所屬委員

會預先為其訂立的程序處理事務。如果立法會有這個用意，便會產生

一個不合情理的情況：即如果預先訂立的程序沒有訂明如何處理一項

須 予 處 理 的 事 宜 ， 小 組 委 員 會 的 會 議 便 須 戛 然 而 止 ， 這 不 可 能 是

第 71(13)條背後的用意。換言之，第 71(13)條的意思不在於把決定人事

編制小組委員會及工務小組委員會的行事方式及程序的權力僅授予財

委會。 8. 《人事編制小組委員會會議程序》第 25段清楚訂明人事編制

小組委員會有權自行決定本身的行事方式及程序，以作為履行其職能

的合理附帶權力，但該項權力須受到限制，就是只有在《議事規則》

沒有訂明或財委會沒有決定的情況下，人事編制小組委員會才可行使

決定其行事方式及程序的權力。

9. 關 於 人 事 編 制 小 組 委 員 在 2007年 6月 13日 會 議 上 採 用 的 程

序，人事編制小組委員所面對的程序方面的情況，《議事規則》或《人

事編制小組委員會會議程序》均沒有訂明。並無證據顯示該次會議上

所決定的程序不合規程。

3

10. 在 2007年 7月 6日，財委會同樣採用同一程序，處理在沒有作

出預告的情況下就兩項供財委會考慮的議程項目動議的議案。由於日

後可能會有更多在沒有作出預告的情況下動議的議案，因此建議在《財

務委員會會議程序》、《人事編制小組委員會會議程序》及《工務小

組委員會會議程序》中加入一項程序，以確保程序統一。關於訂立有

關程序的擬議修訂載於附錄 I。 處理就根據《公共財政條例》 (第 2章 )作出決定的事宜而動議的議案的

程序 11. 現行的《會議程序》訂明處理議案的程序 (例如《財務委員會

會議程序》第 37段 )，目的是為處理由一位委員動議並合資格成為會議

上討論的議程項目的議案。這些議案是有關財委會有權決定的事宜的

實質議案，包括修訂程序的議案及對根據第 2章第 8(3)條或基本工程儲

備基金決議 (第 2章附屬法例 A)或資本投資基金決議 (第 2章附屬法例 B)轉授財政司司長的權力施加條件、例外情況及限制的議案等。至於該

等在同一會議上附屬其他議程項目的議案，例如一項對財委會議程項

目下的基本工程儲備基金項目施加條件的議案，則不可能在 6整天前就

議案發出預告，因為就基本工程儲備基金的項目發出預告的規定亦只

是 6整天的時間。現行的《會議程序》訂明，如主席另有指示，可給予

較短時間的預告。為使委員及政府當局在舉行會議前有足夠時間考慮

議案所指明的擬議條件、例外情況及限制，現建議訂明在這些情況下，

須給予不少於 2整天較短時間的預告。擬議修訂載於附錄 II。

會議紀錄 12. 財委會、人事編制小組委員會及工務小組委員會的會議紀錄

是以會議紀要的形式製備。不過，如有需要，委員會／小組委員會

可考慮製備整個會議或會議的任何部分的逐字紀錄本。現建議按照

附錄 III修訂《財務委員會會議程序》第 7段。如適用的話，《人事編制

小組委員會會議程序》及《工務小組委員會會議程序》亦可作出相若

的修訂。 要求官員列席財委會會議的預告 13. 根據現行做法，所有經人事編制小組委員會／工務小組委員

會通過的項目，一般會納入一份綜合文件內，並提交財委會審批。委

員有權就文件所載的任何項目發言及要求進行分開表決。如果委員認

為負責某項目的政府官員有需要列席財委會會議解答關於該項目的提

問，則需於相關財委會會議舉行一天前通知財委會秘書，以便作出安

排。現建議按照附錄 IV的建議修訂《財務委員會會議程序》第 17段，

正式訂明此做法。 有關中止某項議程文件的討論或現即休會的議案 14. 《財務委員會會議程序》第 39段訂明，委員可無須經預告而

動議一項中止某項議程文件的討論或現即休會的議案。《人事編制小

4

組委員會會議程序》及《工務小組委員會會議程序》亦訂明相同的程

序。該項程序由《議事規則》第 40條改寫而成，但《財務委員會會議

程序》第 39段並沒有訂明動議議案、就議案進行辯論及表決的程序。

為使有關程序更加清晰及一致，現建議按照附錄V修訂《財務委員會會

議程序》第 39段，以及《人事編制小組委員會會議程序》及《工務小

組委員會會議程序》的相關段落。 延長會議時間 15. 現時在財委會、人事編制小組委員會及工務小組委員會會議中未

能審議完畢的議程項目，會在下次會議或按照主席的決定在特別會議

上繼續審議。關於人事編制小組委員會及工務小組委員會，現時的做

法將其會議的時段訂為兩小時，與財委會在 2006年 3月 24日決定其會議

限於 2小時內的安排看齊。由於越來越有需要延長人事編制小組委員

會／工務小組委員會的會議時間，讓小組委員會得以完成審議議程上

的項目，以如期把其建議提交財委會，現建議在《人事編制小組委員

會會議程序》及《工務小組委員會會議程序》中提供彈性的做法，容

許小組委員會在有需要時延長會議時間。由於人事編制小組委員會及

工務小組委員會會議一般在星期三的立法會會議前舉行，其中一項須

予符合的先決條件，是經延長的會議時間不應與立法會會議的時間有

衝突。另一項先決條件是有會議場地可供使用。現建議，除非小組委

員會另有決定，否則主席可於指定會議結束時間前作出宣布，把會議

延長不多於 15分鐘。在無人提出異議的情況下，小組委員會可把會議

進一步延長至某段指明時間。在小組委員會決定的延長時段內，不可

提出新的議案，除非該項議案關乎在延長時段內提出討論的議程項

目。有關各會議程序的擬議修訂載於附錄VI。 徵詢意見 16. 請委員考慮上文第 5至 15段所載的建議，並通過附錄 I至 VI所載有

關各會議程序的擬議修訂。 立法會秘書處 議會事務部 1 2007年 10月 26日

文件

26. 主席邀請委員通過對財委會及其轄下兩個小組委員會 (即人事編制小組委員及工務小組委員會 )的會議程序提出的修訂，該等修訂載於討論文件。 27. 劉慧卿議員詢問處理就根據《公共財政條例》(第 2章 )作出決定的事宜而動議的議案的程序，秘書回應時解釋，

《財務委員會會議程序》第 37段處理的是由一位委員動議並合資格成為會議上討論的議程項目的議案。這些議案

是有關財委會有權決定的事宜的實質議案，包括修訂程

序的議案及根據轉授財政司司長的權力施加條件、例外

情況及限制的議案等。至於該等在同一會議上附屬其他

議程項目的議案，例如一項對財委會議程項目下的基本

工程儲備基金項目施加條件的議案，則不可能在 6整天前就議案發出預告，因為就基本工程儲備基金的項目發出

預告的規定亦只是 6整天的時間。現行的《會議程序》訂明，如主席另有指示，可給予較短時間的預告。為使委

員及政府當局在舉行會議前有足夠時間考慮議案所指明

的擬議條件、例外情況及限制，現建議訂明在這些情況

下，須給予不少於 2整天較短時間的預告。法律顧問表示，根據《公共財政條例》(第 2章 )動議的議案一旦獲得通過，便具有法律效力。 28. 主席把項目付諸表決。委員會批准這項建議。 29. 會議於下午 4時 20分結束。 立法會秘書處 2008年 1月 10日

財務委員會

2018 年 3 月 1 日的特別會議

委 員 已 藉 由 2018 年 2 月 7 日 發 出 的 立 法 會

FC131/17-18 號文件獲告知，財務委員會 ("財委會 ")將於2018 年 3 月 1 日 (星期四 )上午 9 時至 11 時及下午 2 時至晚上8 時在立法會綜合大樓會議室 1 舉行特別會議，以便財委會處理廖長江議員提出兩項修訂《財務委員會會議程序》、《人事

編制小組委員會會議程序》和《工務小組委員會會議程序》

的議案，以及 4 名委員 (即陳志全議員、楊岳橋議員、胡志偉議員和張超雄議員 )就廖議員該兩項議案所提出共 24 組修正案。本通函載述該等議案和修正案的辯論及表決安排。 2. 經參考立法會處理擬具立法效力的議案 (包括議員就修訂《議事規則》而提出的議案 )的程序及慣例，主席將會命令就兩項議案和 24 組修正案進行合併辯論。主席並已指示，該等議案和修正案會按照以下程序進行辯論及表決，主席屆時將會：

(b) 就廖議員動議的第 1 項議案提出待議議題； (c) 請修正案動議人 (陳志全議員、楊岳橋議員、胡志

偉議員和張超雄議員 )發言，但他們在此階段不得動議他們的修正案；

(d) 邀請其他委員發言； (e) 請廖議員就修正案發言；

- 2 -

(f) 請廖議員發言答辯，然後結束辯論； (g) 請委員 (陳議員、楊議員、胡議員和張議員 )動議他

2018年 3月 1日財務委員會特別會議紀要的節錄

X X X X X X

項目 1 委員根據《議事規則》第 71(13)條提出

修訂《財務委員會會議程序》、《人事編制小組委員

會會議程序》及 /或《工務小組委員會會議程序》的議案

會議安排 主席表示，財務委員會 ("財委會 ")今天安排了合共 8小時的特別會議，處理議程上的議案和修正案。特別會議在早上 11時暫停，以便財委會在 11時至下午1 時舉行另一個會議，以聽取財政司司長就財政預算案的簡報，然後在下午 2時正繼續舉行。 2. 主席表示，廖長江議員已作出預告，動議兩

項議案：第 1項議案關乎《財務委員會會議程序》（"《財委會會議程序》"）第 39段及轄下兩個小組委員會會議程序的相應條文；第 2項議案則關乎《財務委員會會議程序》第 37A段及轄下兩個小組委員會會議程序的相應條文。陳志全議員、楊岳橋議員、胡志偉議員及張超雄

議員亦已作出預告，就廖長江議員的兩項議案合共提

出 24組修正案。財委會先就該兩項議案及 24組修正案進行合併辯論，然後進行表決。主席提醒委員，各項

議案及其修正案的措辭，以及辯論和表決安排已詳載

於立法會FC131/17-18及FC157/17-18號文件內。 3. 主席指示，首先由廖長江議員發言及動議第

1 項議案，但他在現階段不可動議第 2項議案，隨後由修正案的動議人發言，但他們在現階段不可動議修

正案。

- 2 -

廖長江議員動議議案 4. 廖長江議員動議他的第 1項議案。廖議員表示，近年來財委會及轄下的兩個小組委員會審議撥款

項目的進度嚴重地受 "拉布 "阻礙。財委會在 2012-2013至 2015-2016的 4個立法年度審議撥款建議，每項平均只需 1.8個小時完成，但在2016-2017年度，卻平均要花 4.2個小時才能完成。就2017-2018立法年度而言，截至 2018年 1月，財委會完成處理的 12個工程計劃，均為上個立法年度未及處理的項目。目前有多項基建工程無法展

開，不僅令建築業界工作朝不保夕，更造成工程費用

大幅增加。財委會必須在監察公共財政和會議效率之

間取得合理平衡。 5. 廖長江議員表示，他的第1項議案是修訂《財委會會議程序》第 39段，及相應的《人事編制小組委員會會議程序》第 32段和《工務小組委員會會議程序》第 33段。根據現行規定，委員可無須經預告而動議中止論討某項議程項目或動議委員會 /小組委員會現即休會。這些程序是取材於《議事規則》第 40條。《議事規則》第 40(4)條委員會現即休會待續議案是中止全體委員會會議的程序；如果議案獲得通過，全體委員

會即恢復為立法會，繼續進行立法會會議的下一個議

程項目；然而，若財委會或小組委員會通過現即休會

議案，卻是立刻腰斬整個會議。財委會於 1996年 11月29日的會議上討論中止待續程序時同意容許委員提出中止討論項目或現即休會的議案，而並非兩者均可以

並用而一項接一項地提出。廖議員認為，近年來該中

止待續程序被濫用，有違當初財委會同意的原則。 廖議員表示，他的修訂建議訂明委員就一項建議發言

時，可無須經預告而動議一項中止某項議程文件的討

論，而不得動議委員會現即休會；而就該議案辯論的

發言時間則不得超過 3分鐘，或主席所決定的任何時限。 6. 廖長江議員表示，他的第 2項議案是關於修訂《財委會會議程序》第37A段、《人事編制小組委員會會議程序》第 31A段以及《工務小組委員會會議程序》第 32A段。廖議員指出，第37A段議案程序於2007-2008年度訂立，以便讓委員會就撥款建議向政府當局表達

其綜合意見。然而，近年有委員透過提出數以百計，

- 3 -

甚至數以萬計的第 37A段議案來進行 "拉布 "，明顯違背了此程序的原來目的。廖議員表示，他的修訂建議訂

明委員可建議不超過一項第37A段議案，須在主席指明的時間前提交，並且不可予以修訂。和現時一樣，議

案亦須獲主席認為與該議程項目直接相關並獲過半數

委員同意立即予以處理，惟他的建議修訂訂明無須就

委員是否同意應立即予以處理進行辯論。 7. 廖長江議員強調，他的兩項修訂建議並不會

削弱財委會監督政府的功能，而是在監察公共開支與

提升議會效率之間作出合理的平衡，以促進財委會聚

焦審批撥款建議。 8. 主席提出廖長江議員動議的第 1項議案，予以通過的待議議題。 委員對主席應否主持會議的質疑 9. 朱凱廸議員以主席在 2017年 7至 8月期間不斷鼓吹修改財委會會議程序為由，要求主席說明他主持

是次會議是否恰當。陳志全議員、梁繼昌議員、 胡志偉議員及許智峯議員指主席倡議修改會議程序的

立場與他主持財委會審議修改《財委會會議程序》的

會議的身份有角色衝突。借鑒立法會主席從未公開談

論修改《議事規則》一事，財委會主席亦不應對財委

會修改會議程序或審批撥款項目隨意公開發表意見。

這些委員認為，主席主持會議不時要就委員發言次數

及時限作出裁決，故應在會議內外盡力保持中立。如

經常發表個人意見，試圖主導委員會討論方向會予人

不公道的印象。張超雄議員引述《法案委員會主席手

冊》並強調，主席應公正無私地履行職責。 10. 廖長江議員表示，會議已進入合併辯論議案

和修正案的程序，個別委員不應在此時提出對主席應

否主持會議的質疑。盧偉國議員、何俊賢議員及 謝偉俊議員認為主席不應容許委員發表偏離是次議程

項目的言論，浪費會議時間。姚思榮議員、陳克勤 議員及何君堯議員表示，立法會的傳統只要求立法會

主席避免發表意見，而所有其他委員會的主席均另有

議員的身份，理應為其選民或業界發表意見。立法會

議員亦同時擔任立法會內不同委員會的主席，並經常

- 4 -

對各樣不同事宜發表個人意見。作為委員會主席的議

員，只要在主持會議期間保持中立便可，發表意見並

無不妥。蔣麗芸議員認為，如主席發覺會議程序出現

缺陷而被利用作拖延的工具，他提出意見修改會議程

序實在無可厚非。 11. 主席回應指他察悉以往財委會處理同類情況

的做法，是在委員提出具體事實或理據指稱主席在有

關財務建議中有金錢利益時，財委會主席才會同意處

理主席不能主持會議的議案。就財委會現時處理修訂

財委會和轄下小組委員會的會議程序的議案，他並無

任何金錢利益。他亦不認為由他主持會議處理這議程

項目，會產生任何利益或角色衝突問題。 12. 就有委員指他對修改會議程序有既定立場，

因此不能公平公正地主持是次會議，主席認為，議員

就修改會議程序表達其個人意見，與他作為主席主持

會議，兩者並無衝突。若因為議員對某事宜有個人意

見便不能主持會議，那便可能沒有議員有資格主持有

關會議，最終令會議無法進行。他認為，《財委會會

議程序》第 13段中有關主席不能就某一項目主持會議並非針對上述情況。根據財委會以往做法，第 13段應只適用於指稱主席在議程項目中有金錢利益的情況。 13. 主席舉例指，他主持 2017年 2月 10日的財委會會議審議 "政治委任官員的現金薪酬調整 "的財務建議時，曾有委員指他公開地在電台節目中以財委會主席

身分談論此項目，是不中立且不恰當，要求由副主席

或其他委員代替他主持審議該項目的會議。主席表

示，他在諮詢財委會法律顧問的意見後，認為除非委

員具體指出他在該項目中因牽涉金錢利益而不適合主

持會議，否則他不會處理委員要求副主席或由另一委

員替代他主持會議的訴求。當時委員接受他的決定。 14. 主席進一步指出，他在 2016-2017年度結束時，基於財委會未能及時通過議程上多個有關民生的

項目，以及他在過去兩年主持財委會會議所獲得的經

驗而深有感受，的確曾公開表達意見，認為有必要修

改財委會會議程序以提升會議效率。主席指出，在參

選今年度財委會主席時，曾有多名委員因為他在這方

面的立場而質疑他是否適合擔任主席。經他回應及委

- 5 -

員討論後，他最終獲選主席，而他在獲選後並沒有再

就修改會議程序發表意見。主席表示，他一直有聽取

財委會法律顧問和秘書的意見。因此，任何擔任主席

一職的人不可能獨斷獨行。 動議修正案的委員發言 15. 主席逐一邀請動議修正案的陳志全議員、 楊岳橋議員、胡志偉議員及張超雄議員發言，並指示

每人發言一次，限時 10分鐘。

16. 陳志全議員表示反對廖長江議員的兩項議

案。他質疑廖議員指有委員提出過萬項第 37A段議案的說法。他指在 2017-2018年度迄今為止沒有任何基建項目因委員 "拉布 "而無法開展。近年財委會委員提出的第 37A段議案的數目已明顯減少，主席亦不時行使權力要求委員揀選或合併他們擬提出第37A段議案。由此可見，委員提出 37A段議案是就項目表達意見，不應被視作為 "拉布 "。他認為財委會平均用上 3至 4小時處理一個涉及數以十億元的撥款項目並非無理。陳議員籲請

委員支持他就第 1項議案提出的第 2組修正案。該修正案建議保留委員可動議委員會現即休會的條文，惟不

得在同一議程項目下動議多於一次現即休會議案。 17. 楊岳橋議員認為廖長江議員對會議程序的修

訂旨在大幅削減議員的權力，並同時增加主席的權

力。若議案修訂獲通過，立法會亦將難以有效地監察

政府。在審議項目時，委員多番追問是因為官員不能

提供令人滿意的答覆。議員是希望藉利用會議程序，

例如動議休會議案，逼使政府提供令議員滿意的答

覆。衡量財委會的工作不應只以會議效率作為唯一的

標準。楊議員表示，他提出對廖議員議案的修正案旨

在令議員監察政府的職能權力不致過度被收窄。他認

為讓主席自行決定接收第 37A段議案的時間及委員的發言時間，形同財委會的監察功能盡歸主席一人，這

是十分危險的。現實上議員亦會自我制約，不會盲目

阻撓會議，因此舉會引致議員遭選民捨棄的政治後

果。就其提出的修訂，楊議員表示，發言時限應在會

議程序清楚訂明，以免主席濫權。委員往往是在審議

過程的較後階段才發現問題所在而認為有需要就項目

- 6 -

提出意見，故主席應容許委員在會議舉行的任何時間

遞交第 37A段議案。 18. 胡志偉議員表示，自從《議事規則》的相關

條文修改後，在財委會動議委員會現即休會議案可達

至的 "拉布 "效果已不復存在。 2017-2018年度迄今，財委會審議撥款建議平均只用 1至 2小時便可完成。委員向官員追問資料是理所當然，但建制派議員卻視之為

阻延審議，無視政府迴避委員的提問。胡議員認為，

議員對撥款項目有不同意見實屬正常，而相關政策在

事務委員會的討論時間往往不足夠。一直以來主席獲

賦權裁決委員的發言內容有否重複、瑣屑無聊、冗贅，

故現在藉修改會議程序進一步施加限制實屬不智。 胡議員闡述他提出對廖議員第 1項議案的第 5組修訂時表示，主席應先諮詢出席會議的委員才就委員發言時

間設限。此舉可避免主席濫權，並符合程序公義。 19. 張超雄議員表示，是次對會議程序的修訂是

對立法會議員在財委會權力的約束。張議員認為，權

力制衡是現代社會應採取的發展方向，但香港現在卻

走回頭路。立法會議員的權力在《基本法》第七十四

條下已受限制：議員不能提出涉及公共開支的草案或

修正案，而凡涉及政府政策者，在提出前必須得到行

政長官的同意。在審議預算案時，議員不可提出新的

開支項目而只能削減政府所提出的款額或額外撥款。

財委會委員就撥款建議對政府當局的多輪質詢可以把

項目的優劣或隱藏在撥款建議中的不合理運用公帑的

細節揭露出來，從而讓公眾得以監察，令公共資源的

運用和分配更趨妥善。張議員認為，以往因委員提出

大量第 37A段議案阻延財委會審議撥款項目以致無法通過項目的事例絶無僅有，把每名委員可就項目提出

第 37A段議案的數目限制為一項並不合理。委員提出現即休會的議案可逼使政府當局正視委員對某些項目的

關注，從而對撥款建議作出委員要求的修訂。 其他委員發言 20. 主席邀請其他委員發言，並指示每人發言一

次，限時 10分鐘。

21. 盧偉國議員、梁美芬議員、何君堯議員、 蔣麗芸議員、郭偉强議員、周浩鼎議員、邵家輝議員、

梁志祥議員及黃定光議員對廖議員修改會議程序的兩

項議案表示支持。 22. 會議在上午 10時 52分暫停，以便進行財政司司長就 2018-2019年度政府財政預算案作出簡報。會議在下午 2時 03分恢復。 23. 盧偉國議員列舉會議統計數字以表達對財委

會及轄下兩小組委員會審議撥款進度的關注。盧議員

指，在 2016-2017年度工務小組委員會的會議時數由原來編定的 34小時增加至 70多個小時，惟完成審議項目涉及的撥款只佔政府當局計劃提交項目的總撥款額的

一半。至於財委會，則只通過583億元工務工程撥款，2017-2018年度迄今批准的部分是上一個立法年度積壓待批的項目。工務小組委員會在2017-2018年度審議了12個涉及金額共 230億元的項目。盧議員指出財委會在2014-2015、2015-2016及 2016-2017的 3個年度審議每項撥款建議平均耗用的會議時間分別為 2小時 47分鐘、 2小時 1分鐘及 4小時 14分鐘。在2016-2017年度財委會共舉行 64次合共近 123小時會議而只批准了 29項撥款建議 。 工 務 小 組 委 員 會 在 2014-2015 、 2015-2016 及2016-2017的 3個年度審議的項目分別為53分鐘、 1小時31分鐘及 3小時 52分鐘。而人事編制小組委員會在2014-2015、 2015-2016及 2016-2017的 3個年度審議的項目分別為 1小時 40分鐘、 1小時 38分鐘及 2小時 29分鐘。在 2017-2018年度迄今，工務小組委員會審議每項建議平均耗用 2小時 06分鐘，而人事編制小組委員會的則為 2小時 14分鐘。 24. 梁美芬議員不認同泛民議員指是次修訂會議

程序旨在削減議員監察政府的權力並增加主席主持會

議的酌情權的觀點。她指出，《財委會會議程序》第

37A段容許委員可動議一項議案，還是大量議案，過往在委員之間曾有不同的理解。以前亦曾有黃毓民議員

提出超過一萬項議案的事例。梁議員認為，倘若《議

事規則》和《財委會會議程序》行之有效，實不應隨

便修改。梁議員舉例說，以往曾有地區支持的項目因

財委會審議進度緩慢而未能趕及在會期結束前通過，

而市民有意見認為有需要修改會議程序。她不認同是

- 8 -

次修訂會議程序會縮窄議員議事的空間和權利。財委

會主席應可行使酌情權。泛民議員應以有質素的論述

表達意見，而不是動輒訴諸 "拉布 "手段，令市民生厭。即使把每名委員可提出第 37A段議案的數目限定為一項，20多名泛民議員合共可提出 20多項第 37A段議案。只要委員的辯論和質詢具質素，實無損議員議事的空

間。 25. 何君堯議員認為，現時的會議程序容許委員

在中止某議程項目的討論的議案被否決後，又可隨即

動議現即休會議案，是既不合理亦有違應善用會議時

間審議議程項目的原則。何議員認為，現時財委會或

小組委員會委員依次輪流發言，個別委員的發言時限

隨其發言次數遞減的做法既有秩序亦有效率，主席亦

常酌情讓委員或官員完成其發言。何議員認為，現時

已有足夠時間讓委員發表其意見，委員提出大量的第

37A段議案並不能增加委員討論撥款建議的時間，而只會拖延委員會表決議程項目。

26. 蔣麗芸議員表示，一些民生項目的審批進度

確受 "拉布 "阻延。蔣議員引用毛孟靜議員曾在財委會會議上詢問官員砷和山埃的分別、公頃和平方米的轉換

方法，以及在審議有關西九龍文化區工程的一個項目

時，朱凱廸議員因不滿負責該項目的民政事務局常任

秘書長沒有出席會議而動議委員會現即休會為事例以

說明，她雖然認同議員有責任向政府提問，但一些委

員卻在會議上反覆提出不少幾近吹毛求疵的問題。 蔣議員認為，出席會議是委員的責任，會議程序實無

必要讓委員提出現即休會的議案。委員提出數以百計

的第 37A段議案顯然是濫用程序。 27. 郭偉强議員認為現時財委會審議撥款項目的

進度仍然緩慢。泛民議員為了表現他們在審議項目的

參與，即使對一些沒有爭議的撥款項目仍作近乎吹毛

求疵的提問，不必要地令這些項目耗用可觀的會議時

間，這造成多個項目積壓待批，但泛民議員卻又在此

情況下多番動議議案中止討論項目或現即休會，甚至

連縮短點名表決鐘聲鳴響時間的議案都要求發言討

論，徒令財委會進一步虛耗大量時間。對於泛民議員

提到他們是因為政府當局不能提供令他們滿意的答覆

才反覆提問甚至動議中止討論項目，郭議員認為此等

- 9 -

論調是轉移視線以掩飾他們的真正目的是在會議上 "拉布 "，阻延財委會審議撥款項目的進度。郭議員認為，現時廖長江議員提出對會議程序的修訂，目的都

是為議會能得以暢順舉行會議以履行其職能，涉及的

範圍恰當而且力度温和。 28. 周浩鼎議員表示認同議員有責任監察政府施

政，但不應以此為由，藉阻延審議政府的撥款申請，

令政府無法有效運作，甚至令一些關乎民生的項目無

法及時通過。就第 37A 段議案而言，即使主席可運用酌情權限制委員可提出議案的數目，過往亦有事例顯

示委員曾在會議上對主席的裁決提出激烈爭辯，甚至

有肢體衝突的場面而導致財委會耗費大量會議時間處

理。周議員認為即使把每名委員可提出第 37A 段議案數目限定為一項，只要委員是在深思熟慮後才提出議

案，委員亦沒有因而失去表達內容有意義議案的機

會。周議員指，如果泛民主派議員的要求是切實可行，

並願意妥協和謀求共識，他們大可遊說建制派的議員

給予支持。 29. 邵家輝議員表示，他曾因財委會審議進度受

部分委員的提問阻延而寧願放棄提問，以免審議滯後

的情況惡化。邵議員認同議員有責任監察政府，但應

避免阻延政府撥款和運作以致窒礙社會發展。邵議員

表示，工程界對工務工程撥款申請進度受阻以致難以

為工程有效地作出籌劃調配資源，感到無所適從。工

程界從業員亦因工作機會不明朗而飽受困擾。邵議員

認為，已獲小組委員會同意提交財委會審批的撥款項

目在事前已獲充份和透徹的討論，不應再在財委會無

止境地討論。邵議員不贊同泛民議員指一些工務工程

是大白象工程，並認為該等都是有利本港發展的工

程。對於廖議員提出對《財委會會議程序》第 37A段議案的修訂，把每名委員可提出議案的數目定為 1項， 邵議員認為委員提出意見的權利並不會因此而被剝

奪。 30. 梁志祥議員對廖長江議員的修訂表示支持，

並認為以往有個別委員濫用程序提出大量第 37A 段議案拖延審議撥款進度，導致社會付出龐大代價，工程

界不能開展工程，影響工人生計。據他觀察，部分委

員藉反覆提問、提出第 37A 段議案、動議中止討論議

- 10 -

程項目後又旋即動議現即休會等種種 "拉布 "的情況，仍未見有收斂。梁議員指委員應以其論點爭取市民的支

持而非動輒 "拉布 "阻延會議進度。梁議員認為，第 37A段議案的原意在讓委員就撥款建議表達意見，從而促

請政府優化其撥款建議。第 39 段中止討論或現即休會的議案旨在讓議會及政府當局有更多時間說服對方。

惟兩項條文現被嚴重濫用而成為阻礙審批撥款的工

具，故實在有修改的必要。 31. 黃定光議員表示，前立法局或立法會議員在

香港回歸前後均十分遵守《議事規則》的規定，但近

年有小部分議員以民主監察政府為名，實質上是阻撓

政府施政，企圖藉 "拉布 "癱瘓政府運作。他以審批一個項目有時需要兩個多小時，但有時卻花不到 1 分鐘為例，指泛民主派議員在實際上完全操縱審批時間長

短。黃議員認為委員提出大量第 37A 段議案顯然是濫用程序，而並非為表達反對意見。對於過去財委會會

議曾出現少數委員包圍主席台抗議和干擾主席主持會

議的行為，黃議員認為極不妥當。 32. 莫乃光議員、梁繼昌議員、郭家麒議員、 毛孟靜議員、朱凱廸議員、林卓廷議員、涂謹申議員

及郭榮鏗議員反對廖長江議員為修改會議程序而提出

的議案。 33. 莫乃光議員表示，現時財委會平均花 1至 2小時可完成審議一個撥款項目。2017-2018年度迄今，委員提出中止討論項目或現即休會議案的次數不多，較

之前的兩個年度已大幅減少。莫議員指出，現時主席

已有權要求委員合併第37A段議案，更可以以議案與討論的項目無關而把議案裁為不合乎規程。在絶大多數

情況下，委員會均否決處理第 37A段議案，得以獲委員會討論的第 37A段議案幾乎絶無僅有。莫議員質疑建制派說泛民議員在議會 " 拉布 "是無中生有和亂扣帽子。他認為是次修改《財委會會議程序》形同立法會自我

削弱監察政府的權力，收窄民主派議事和監察政府的

空間。議員對撥款建議的各種提問有助政府當局改善

施政；相反，不加過問而怱怱通過撥款是有負市民對

議員的期望。

- 11 -

34. 梁繼昌議員質疑財委會處理議程項目的效率

是否應按批准的撥款額多少而衡量，並指討論時間和

撥款金額沒有必然關係。財委會的主席可按《財委會

會議程序》所賦予的權力主持會議，並對委員可提出

第 37A段議案的數目、委員發言時間等作出限制。他認為主席只要按照會議程序的精神和條文，亦可參考法

庭有關主席主持會議的權力的判決，便應能自行判斷

他自己應如何行使主席的權力。梁議員認為財委會議

員在批准各項工務工程撥款前，有責任審視它們是否

用得其所並能改善民生。對於泛民議員克盡己職就項

目各樣細節提出問題但卻被扣上 "拉布 "的帽子，梁議員認為並不公平。 35. 毛孟靜議員對建制派議員藉修改會議程序削

弱議員監察政府運用公帑的權力表達不滿。民主派議

員既然在議會內的議席未能佔大多數而失去否決權，

在議會內 "拉布 "無非是為了扳倒或阻延當局差劣的政策和惡法，是迫不得已的手段而已。 36. 郭家麒議員認為議員有責任監察政府施政。

即使在 2017年 12月《議事規則》被修改前，立法會議員的權力已極為有限，例如議員不可提出導致公帑開

支的議案或修改財政預算案以增加惠及民生的開支。

財委會及轄下兩個小組委員會成為僅餘供議員發揮其

極為有限的監察政府權力的場所。議員在審議工務工

程項目時提出意見有助政府完善項目的細節，改善施

政以及糾正缺失。郭議員認為，不少財委會審批的工

程項目，例如興建港珠澳大橋，都是建制派為維護大

財團的利益，急不及待要通過的大白象工程。涉及龐

大撥款的項目在相關事務委員會往往討論不足，財委

會肩負重要的把關作用，但現在對會議程序的修訂卻

進一步收窄委員的議事權力。郭議員認為，6名立法會議員被取消議員資格一事已令建制派議員可以在財委

會會議上為所欲為，完全主宰投票結果。 37. 朱凱廸議員指支持修改會議程序的建制派議

員把財委會視作一家按僱主要求而生產的工廠，然而

財委會有積極運用和妥善履行《基本法》賦予立法會

監察政府公共開支的權力和責任。委員是藉深入審議

項目向政府施壓，以免其施政脫離民意。朱議員指，

按照廖議員對第 37A段議案的修訂，主席將獲賦權決定

- 12 -

委員提出第 37A段議案的時間。這將令委員無法在吸納項目討論過程中出現的觀點後才提出其第 37A段議案。 朱議員指出，主席現時可運用其權力限制委員可提出

的第 37A段議案的數目或要求委員把多項議案合併為三數項。主席藉這種做法已能有效地控制會議審議進

度。朱議員亦認為廖議員動議修改現即休會議案條

文，增加主席對委員發言時限的酌情權，是毫無必要。 38. 林卓廷議員承認民主黨議員過去曾因為對某

些項目有質疑而不希望財委會通過有關撥款，而參與

部分在財委會的 "拉布 "行動。議員在會議上的提問往往能揭示一些政府未曾向公眾解釋而又重要的問題。立

法會制衡政府施政的力量薄弱，事務委員會讓議員對

項目的提問時間亦甚為有限。建制派議員應重視財委

會審議項目過程的質素。如讓有問題的撥款申請輕易

獲通過，實有負市民的期望。林議員認為，委員是因

政府當局提供的答覆不能令委員滿意而反覆追問，而

就項目提出第 37A段議案表達意見亦是會議程序賦予委員的權利。每名委員對項目的多個不同方面均可能

有意見而欲藉第37A段議案表達，因此把每名委員可提出議案的數目限制為一項並不合理。林議員認為，以 "拉布 "見稱的議員之所以獲選進入議會顯示社會上有不少市民認同這些議員的 "拉布 "行為。故此，這些市民的看法應予尊重。 39. 涂謹申議員表示，議會的爭議和對立現象主

要是自上一屆政府上任後出現。在新任行政長官上任

及社會上的對立氣氛略見緩和的時候，建制派議員卻

仍尋求施加更加嚴厲的限制，甚至以審議撥款項目每

個平均花兩小時也嫌時間太長為由，要進一步縮短。

議員當中積極地在財委會會議上提問的議員合共也不

外乎 10 多名，而他們提出的問題往往極具質素。 涂議員認為，議員用多一點時間審議小數引起社會極

大爭議的項目，在任何自由民主社會都是正常現象。

涂議員指一國兩制的精髓在於容許香港有反對派議

政，議會內反對派可反對法案或撥款，並可在合乎會

議程序的規定採用 "拉布 "手段，令他們認為不妥當的建議無法獲得議會通過。可是，現在修改會議程序的建

議或會摧毀當初構想一國兩制的原意。

- 13 -

40. 郭榮鏗議員表示，立法會通過 83項佔超過90%的法案及所有 200多項附屬法例，而超過 90%提交財委會的撥款建議最後均獲通過。郭議員以為擴建香

港迪士尼樂園的注資，及廣深港高速鐵路 200多億元超支的撥款申請為例，指財委會實在有責任阻止通過該

等項目。郭議員認為，主席只要調動議程項目的次序，

把議程上富爭議的項目押後，或調前不具爭議或關乎

民生的項目，便可解決項目積壓或委員 "拉布 "的問題。郭議員認為廖議員提出對會議程序的修訂所能節省的

會議時間微不足道，無助制止委員利用其他方法阻止

或拖延極具爭議項目的情況發生。郭議員呼籲委員和

政府當局應商討如何改善行政立法關係，避免強把極

富爭議的項目納入議程。 廖長江議員就修正案發言及答辯 41. 主席邀請廖長江議員就修正案發言。廖議員

表示，中止待續程序源自《議事規則》第 40條，原意並非是中止整個會議。他指泛民議員在修正案中加回

刪去的 "委員會現即休會 "，擴闊中止待續程序的含

義，是無理的要求。對於第2組修正案限定就同一議程項目不得動議多於一次現即休會的議案，廖議員認為

難自圓其說，因為源自《議事規則》第 40(4)條的中止待續程序不包含中止整個立法會會議，遑論可提出的

現即休會議案的數目。

42. 廖長江議員指出，就中止某項議程文件的議

案辯論發言時限，有委員的修正案分別建議 5 分鐘、

7分鐘或10分鐘作為發言時限，但卻沒有提供任何合理理據。廖議員指，他的議案採納不超過 3分鐘的發言時限，反映該段原本設定的發言時限，並給予主席酌情

權決定發言時限以作平衡。廖議員認為，中止待續議

案是因應迫切需要，在有充分理據的情況下才動議的

議案，委員就議案發言理應簡潔精闢。泛民議員的修

正案加長中止待續議案發言時限毫無道理。

43. 廖長江議員指修正案建議對主席決定中止待

續議案發言時限的權力施加多種限制，如主席須諮詢

出席的委員、經委員會同意或經副主席同意後才可作

出發言時限的決定。廖議員認為，《基本法》第七十

二條已規定立法會主席有主持會議、決定議程等職

- 14 -

權。該原則除已貫徹到立法會《議事規則》外，亦應

延用於委員會會議。委員會主席享有對委員發言時限

的酌情權，方可有效主持會議。廖議員認為財委會主

席對部分反對派委員的一些無理要求，一直採取忍讓

態度，修正案中對主席權力制衡的修訂建議並不合理。

44. 廖長江議員表示，他的第 2項議案如獲通過，財委會委員仍可提出不超過一項第37A段議案，委員會完全有渠道就政府撥款表達其綜合意見。財委會的討

論將能夠更聚焦以及有效地履行憲制和社會責任。對

於一些修正案建議每名委員可提出不超過 10項或 15項第 37A段議案，並保留第 37A段議案可予修訂的機制，

廖議員認為是為濫用程序 "拉布 "製造空間。就 4名議員對提交第 37A段議案方式提出的修訂，廖議員表示，當中有建議委員只須在會議上讀出議案，令提交的議案

措辭變得模糊；另外有建議在會議上提交或立即提交

議案，前者剝奪了委員在會議前察悉和準備議案的機

會，後者在實際操作上造成困難。

45. 廖長江議員指他的兩項議案，旨在提升議會

效率和履行憲制及社會責任，限制一些慣常用的濫用

程序或 "拉布 "措施。

46. 主席隨即邀請廖長江議員發言答辯。廖議員

表示，現時本港的經濟及民生建設被立法會 "拉布 "拖累，嚴重滯後。建制派議員是次提出對會議程序修訂，

藉適切削減 "拉布 "而令財委會及其轄下的兩個小組委員會的運作回復正常，在監察政府的同時保障整體社

會福祉。廖議員指出，部分委員在辯論中的發言，只

是重複搬出所謂 "議會發言權、監察權 "等口號，他對

該等委員漠視 "拉布 "犧牲社會整體利益的惡果表示遺憾。

47. 廖長江議員表示，在 2016-2017年度，財委會為處理現即休會或中止討論的議案，耗用約 16小時，佔整體會議時間的 13%；工務小組委員會就用超過 11小時，佔超過 15%會議時間；另外，為處理議員第 37A段議案，財委會就虛耗了 12小時，佔 10%會議時間，而工務小組委員會為處理同類議案亦虛耗逾 5小時，佔7%會議時間。人事編制小組委員會的情況亦因為上述兩

項程序 "拉布 "問題而損失逾 8%會議時間。若計及處理

- 15 -

議員提出規程問題、行為不檢和辯論縮短表決鐘鳴響

時間議案的時間，財委會損失近四成的會議時間。

廖議員認為支持 "拉布 "的議員無視這高達四成的會議時間用作處理無實質內容、與撥款項目無關的程序，

佔用大量原本可用作就撥款項目實質內容提問的時

間。

48. 廖長江議員亦指，過去6年的建築造價累積上升了六成，工程撥款被 "拉布 "拖延難免會令工程造價上漲，浪費公帑。近年工程界因連續 8個月沒有新工程展開，工程量大幅波動， 1.2萬名前線工人開工不足，以及畢業生起薪點亦下跌，打擊新人入行的意欲和影響

業界的持續發展。對於有些非建制派議員認為政府應

把民生項目訂於議程上較前的位置，廖議員認為這說

法反映他們視民生項目為政治籌碼的心態。對於有些

議員稱在審議新界東北新發展區前期工程計劃和高鐵

香港段的撥款時藉 "拉布 "反映民意，廖議員認為主流民意是支持這些項目。他認為議員和整個議會須要向整

體社會負責，個別議員不應抱着玉石俱焚的取態，濫

用制度。

49. 廖長江議員指長年累月的 "拉布 "已經令社會大眾感到十分厭倦及疲累。他的修訂建議是對失控的

"拉布 "情況稍加限制，騰出更多空間讓各位議員認真審議撥款項目細節。廖議員強調，他的修訂建議既沒有

針對任何人士或黨派，亦是非常溫和；修訂目的令會

議回復順暢及更見效率，讓議會能夠做好把關審批公

共開支，妥為履行其憲制及社會責任。

FINANCE COMMITTEE PROCEDURE OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL

OF THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION

Passed by the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on 2 November 2007.

Motions 37A. During the deliberation of an agenda item, prior to the question on it being put to vote, a member may move a motion without notice to express a view or views on the agenda item if the motion is considered by the Chairman as directly related to the agenda item and if agreed by a majority of members that it should be proceeded forthwith.

ITEM FOR FINANCE COMMITTEE

Review of the Procedures of the Finance Committee and its subcommittees

Purpose This paper outlines the outcome of a review conducted by the Legislative Council Secretariat (LegCo Secretariat) on the Procedures of the Finance Committee and its two subcommittees, namely the Establishment Subcommittee (ESC) and the Public Works Subcommittee (PWSC). Members are invited to approve the proposed amendments to the Procedures of FC, ESC and PWSC which are based on the recommendations made as a result of the review. Background 2. The Procedures of PWSC, ESC and FC (the Procedures) were endorsed by FC at its meetings on 11 March, 13 May and 8 July 1994 respectively in connection with the taking-over of the clerkship duties from the Government by the LegCo Secretariat which was established in April 1994. The Procedures were drafted by the LegCo Secretariat based on the Government’s User’s Guide to the workings of FC for use by Branch Secretaries, Heads of Departments and officers in the Finance Branch. The Administration was consulted throughout the drafting process. One of the major changes in the new Procedures was the inclusion of arrangements for electing non-official Members of the Legislative Council to be the chairmen and deputy chairmen of FC and its two subcommittees. 3. Since 1994, changes were made to the Procedures from time to time to formalize practices adopted over time or to bring in improvements to existing practice and procedures. These included election arrangements for the FC Chairman and Deputy Chairman, duration of division bell, duration of FC meetings, invitation of public officers to respond to questions on ESC/PWSC items at FC meetings, etc.

4. Towards the end of the 2006-2007 session, a number of financial

2

proposals involving controversial issues were considered and had led to extensive discussions with the Administration during meetings on matters which caused wide public concern. As a result, some procedural issues over the conduct of meetings were raised, e.g. the chairman’s discretion to decide on speaking time, duration of ESC/PWSC meetings, motions to adjourn discussion of agenda items, motions to express a view, etc. A review of the Procedures in the light of the latest developments has recently been conducted by the Clerks and the Legal Adviser to FC, ESC and PWSC. The outcome of the review is set out below. Review of the Procedures and recommendations Subcommittees’ authority to determine practice and procedure for dealing with motions moved without notice 5. At ESC’s meeting held on 13 June 2007, the chairman of ESC made reference to the procedures adopted by other LegCo committees in dealing with motions moved without notice at meetings upon a member’s indication that he intended to move a motion without notice in the course of ESC’s consideration of an agenda item. The motion was to express a certain request to be made of the Administration. It was not intended to have any substantive effect on the recommendation in the ESC agenda item. The chairman considered that the proposed motion was relevant to the agenda item and asked members to indicate whether it should be proceeded with at the meeting. Following an indication of support by a majority of members present for the motion to be dealt with immediately, the chairman allowed the motion to be moved. Thereupon the motion was proposed, debated and put to a vote at the meeting. The motion was passed and was incorporated as part of ESC’s recommendations to the FC. The issue for consideration is whether it is in order for ESC to determine its own practice and procedure for dealing with a motion sought to be moved without notice at a meeting during ESC’s consideration of a submission from the Administration. 6. Paragraph 25 of the ESC Procedure provides: “Subject to the Rules of Procedure of the Legislative Council and the procedure endorsed by the FC, the ESC determines its own practice and procedure [Rule 71(13)].”. Rule 71(13) of the Rules of Procedure of the Legislative Council (RoP) is included in Paragraph 25 to indicate that it is that subrule on which the paragraph is based. That subrule provides: “Subject to these Rules of Procedure, the practice and procedure of the committee (i.e. FC) and its subcommittees (i.e. ESC and PWSC) shall be determined by the committee”.

7. It is clear that RoP contemplate that FC and its subcommittees will have to decide how to deal with matters not provided for in RoP in the course of transacting business. In the Legal Adviser’s view, there is nothing in RoP

3

to suggest that it was the intention of the Legislative Council to impose a procedural restriction on subcommittees to the extent that the only procedures available to them for transacting business are those that had been pre-determined for them by their parent committees. Had there been such intention, it would give rise to the absurd situation that proceedings in a subcommittee would have to be brought to a grinding halt if the pre-determined procedures do not contain provisions to deal with a matter before it. That cannot be the intention underlying Rule 71(13). In other words, Rule 71(13) does not have the effect of giving the power to determine practice and procedure of ESC and PWSC exclusively to FC. 8. Paragraph 25 of the ESC Procedure makes it clear that ESC has the authority to determine its own practice and procedure as a power which is reasonably incidental to the performance of its functions, but subject to the limitation that such power can only be exercised where the practice and procedure so determined by ESC have not already been provided in RoP or determined by FC.

9. In relation to the procedure adopted by ESC at its meeting on 13 June 2007, ESC was faced with a procedural situation for which no provision was made in RoP or the ESC Procedure has made provision for. There is nothing to suggest that the procedure it determined at the meeting was not in order. 10. On 6 July 2007, FC similarly adopted the same procedure in dealing with two motions moved without notice in respect of two agenda items for its consideration. As it appears that there may be more moving of motions without notice in future, it is proposed that a procedure be included in the FC, ESC and PWSC Procedures to ensure procedural consistency. The proposed amendment to put in place the procedure is in Appendix I. Procedure for dealing with motions moved for deciding on matters under the Public Finance Ordinance (Cap. 2) 11. The procedure for dealing with motions in the current Procedures, e.g. Paragraph 37 of the FC Procedure, aims to deal with motions that are moved by a member and are qualified as an agenda item for discussion at a meeting. These motions are substantive motions on matters that are within the powers of FC to decide. They include motions amending procedures, and motions imposing conditions, exceptions or limitations on the Financial Secretary's power delegated to him under section 8(3) of Cap. 2 or under the Capital Works Reserve Fund Resolution (Cap. 2 sub. leg. A) or the Capital Investment Fund Resolution (Cap. 2 sub. leg. B). For those motions which are dependent on other agenda items of the same meeting, e.g. a motion to impose conditions in respect of a Capital Works Reserve Fund (CWRF) item on the agenda of an FC meeting, it is not likely that a notice of six clear days for the motion can be given, as the notice requirement for a CWRF item is only six clear days. The

4

current Procedure has provided that shorter notice may be given if the Chairman so directs. In order that members and the Administration have adequate time before the meeting to consider proposed conditions, exceptions or limitations specified in a motion, it is proposed that the shorter notice for these circumstances be set at not less than two clear days. The proposed amendment is in Appendix II. Record of proceedings 12. The records of the proceedings of FC, ESC and PWSC are kept in the form of minutes. However, where considered necessary, the Committee/Subcommittees may consider keeping a verbatim record of the whole or any part of a meeting. It is proposed that Paragraph 7 of the FC Procedure be amended as in Appendix III. If considered appropriate, similar amendments may also be made to the ESC and PWSC Procedures. Notice to require attendance of public officers at FC meetings 13. Under the current practice, all items endorsed by ESC/PWSC are usually included under one composite paper and submitted to FC for approval. Members are entitled to speak on and request separate voting on any of the items in the paper. If members consider it necessary for Government officials in charge of a specific item to attend a FC meeting to answer questions on it, they are requested to inform the Clerk to FC one day before the date of the relevant FC meeting so that arrangements can be made. To formalize this practice, it is recommended that Paragraph 17 of the FC Procedure be amended as proposed in Appendix IV. Motion to adjourn discussion on an item or further proceedings 14. Paragraph 39 of FC Procedure provides for a member to move without notice that discussion on an item or further proceedings be adjourned. The same procedure has also been provided in the ESC and PWSC Procedures. This procedure is adapted from Rule 40 of RoP, but the procedure for moving, debating and voting on the motion has not been set out in Paragraph 39. It is proposed that for clarity and consistency, Paragraph 39 of FC Procedure, as well as relevant paragraphs in the ESC and PWSC Procedures, be amended as in Appendix V. Extension of meeting time 15. At present, agenda items not dealt with at a meeting of FC, ESC and PWSC are carried over to the next meeting or, if the Chairman so decides, to a special meeting. For ESC and PWSC, the present practice of providing a two-hour meeting slot for their meetings is to keep it in line with a decision of FC on 24 March 2006 to limit its meetings to two hours for each meeting. As

5

there is a growing need to extend the meeting time of ESC/PWSC so that items on the agenda can be concluded and its recommendations can be put forward to FC as scheduled, it is proposed that flexibility be provided in the ESC and PWSC Procedures to allow the Subcommittees to extend their meeting time when necessary. As the meetings of ESC and PWSC are usually held on Wednesdays before a Council meeting, one of the preconditions to be satisfied should be that such extended meeting time should not clash with the meeting time of the Council. Another precondition should be that the meeting venue is available. It is proposed that a meeting may be extended by not more than 15 minutes by an announcement made by the Chairman before the appointed ending time, unless the Subcommittee decides otherwise. The Subcommittee may further extend a meeting for a specified period of time subject to no dissenting voice. No new motion should be proposed during the period of extension decided by the Subcommittee unless the motion is in relation to an item on the agenda which is raised for discussion during the extension period. The proposed amendments to the Procedures are in Appendix VI. Advice Sought 16. Members are invited to consider the recommendations set out in paragraphs 5 to 15 above and to endorse the proposed amendments to the Procedures as set out in Appendices I to VI.

Extract of the minutes of the Finance Committee meeting on 2 November 2007

X X X X X X Item No. 3 - FCR(2007-08)33 Discussion paper on the review of the procedures of the Finance Committee and its subcommittees 26. The Chairman said that members were invited to endorse amendments to the Procedures of the Finance Committee and its two subcommittees, namely the Establishment Subcommittee and the Public Works Subcommittee, as set out in the discussion paper. 27. In response to Ms Emily LAU's question on the procedure for dealing with motions moved for deciding on maters under the Public Finance Ordinance (Cap 2), the Clerk explained that paragraph 37 of the FC Procedure dealt with motions that were moved by a member and were qualified as an agenda item for discussion at a meeting. These motions were substantive motions on matters that were within the powers of FC to decide. They included motions amending procedures, and motions imposing conditions, exceptions or limitations on the Financial Secretary's power delegated to him. For those motions which were dependent on other agenda items of the same meeting, e.g. a motion to impose conditions in respect of a Capital Works Reserve Fund (CWRF) item on the agenda of a FC meeting, it was not likely that a notice of six clear days for the motion could be given, as the notice requirement for a CWRF item was only six clear days. The current Procedure had provided that shorter notice might be given if the Chairman so directed. In order that members and the Administration had adequate time before the meeting to consider the proposed conditions, exceptions or limitations specified in a motion, it was proposed that the shorter notice for these circumstances be set at not less than two clear days. The Legal Adviser said that the motions moved under the Ordinance (Cap. 2) would have legal effect once they were passed. 28. The Chairman put the item to vote. The Committee approved the proposal. 29. The meeting was adjourned at 4:20 pm. Legislative Council Secretariat 10 January 2008

Extract of the minutes of the Finance Committee special meeting on 1 March 2018

X X X X X X

Item 1 ― Members' motions to amend the Finance Committee

Procedure, the Establishment Subcommittee Procedure and/or the Public Works Subcommittee Procedure under Rule 71(13) of the Rules of Procedure

Meeting arrangement 1. The Chairman advised that the Finance Committee ("FC") had scheduled a total of eight hours of special meeting today to deal with the motions and their amendments as set out in the agenda. The special meeting would be suspended at 11:00 am to make way for FC to hold another meeting from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, where members would receive a briefing by the Financial Secretary on the Budget. The special meeting would then be resumed at 2:00 pm. 2. The Chairman said that Mr Martin LIAO had given notice to move two motions, with the first one relating to paragraph 39 of the Finance Committee Procedure ("FCP") as well as the corresponding provisions in the procedures of the two subcommittees of FC, and the second one relating to FCP 37A as well as the corresponding provisions in the procedures of the two subcommittees of FC. Mr CHAN Chi-chuen, Mr Alvin YEUNG, Mr WU Chi-wai and Dr Fernando CHEUNG had also given notices to move a total of 24 sets of amendments to Mr Martin LIAO's two motions. FC would hold a joint debate on the two motions and 24 sets of amendments before putting them to vote. The Chairman reminded members that the wording of those motions and their amendments, as well as the debate and voting arrangements therefor had already been set out in detail in LC Paper Nos. FC131/17-18 and FC157/17-18. 3. The Chairman instructed that Mr Martin LIAO would first speak and move his 1st motion, but he might not move his 2nd motion at this stage. Movers of amendments would then take turn to speak, but they might not move their amendments at this stage.

- 2 -

Motion moved by Mr Martin LIAO 4. Mr Martin LIAO moved his 1st motion. Mr LIAO said that in recent years, the scrutiny progress of FC and its two subcommittees on financial proposals had been seriously hampered by filibustering. In the four legislative sessions between 2012-2013 and 2015-2016, it took FC an average of only 1.8 hours to scrutinize one financial proposal, whereas in the 2016-2017 legislative session, it took an average of 4.2 hours for FC to scrutinize one financial proposal. In the 2017-2018 legislative session, as at January 2018, FC had only dealt with 12 public works projects, and they were all items carried forward from the previous legislative session. Meanwhile, many infrastructure projects could not be commenced, resulting in serious uncertainties for people working in the construction industry as well as substantial increases in the construction costs. FC must strike a reasonable balance between monitoring public spending and maintaining the efficiency of its deliberation. 5. Mr Martin LIAO said that his 1st motion sought to amend FCP 39, as well as the corresponding provisions of paragraph 32 in the Establishment Subcommittee Procedure ("ESCP") and paragraph 33 in the Public Works Subcommittee Procedure ("PWSCP") (FCP, ESCP and PWSCP collectively referred to as "the Procedures"). Under the current rules, members could move a motion without notice to adjourn the discussion on a particular agenda item or further proceedings of FC/the subcommittees, and the said procedure was adapted from Rule 40 of the Rules of Procedure ("RoP"). When a motion was moved under RoP 40(4) that further proceedings of the committee be now adjourned, the purpose was to adjourn the proceeding of the Committee of the whole Council. If the motion was agreed to, the Council shall resume and proceed to deal with the next item on the agenda of the meeting of the Legislative Council ("LegCo"). But in the case of FC or its subcommittees, if a motion for the adjournment of further proceedings was agreed to, it would mean bringing the relevant meeting to an abrupt end. When the adjournment procedure was discussed by FC at its meeting on 29 November 1996, members agreed that a member could move to adjourn the discussion on an agenda item or further proceedings of the meeting, but not both, or back-to-back. Mr LIAO opined that contrary to FC's original intent, the adjournment procedure had been abused in recent years. Mr LIAO said that according to his proposed amendment, a member when speaking on a proposal might move without notice that discussion on an item, but not further proceedings of FC, be now adjourned, while the speaking time of each member would be not more than three minutes or any time period as decided by the Chairman.

6. Mr Martin LIAO went on to say that his 2nd motion sought to amend FCP 37A, ESCP 31A and PWSCP 32A. Mr LIAO pointed out that the procedure of FCP 37A motions was made in the 2007-2008 legislative session, so that FC could put consolidated views to the Administration on its financial proposals. That said, some members had on occasions in recent years moved hundreds or even tens of thousands of FCP 37A motions for the sake of filibustering, which clearly violated the original intent of such a procedure. Mr LIAO stated that as specified under his proposed amendment, a member might propose no more than one FCP 37A motion, which was not amendable, and any proposed motion must be presented by a time specified by the Chairman. The same as under the current practice, such a motion must be considered by the Chairman as directly related to the agenda item and agreed by a majority of members that it should be proceeded forthwith, although it was provided under his proposed amendment that no debate shall take place to ascertain if members would so agree. 7. Mr Martin LIAO stressed that his two amendment proposals would not undermine FC's functions in monitoring the Government; instead, they served to strike a reasonable balance between monitoring public spending and maintaining the efficiency of the legislature, so that FC could scrutinize funding proposals in a more focused manner. 8. The Chairman proposed the question on Mr Martin LIAO's 1st motion. Members' questions on whether the Chairman should preside over the meeting 9. Citing the Chairman's repeated moves to promote the amendment of FCP in July and August 2017, Mr CHU Hoi-dick demanded an explanation from the Chairman as to whether it was appropriate for him to preside over the meeting. Mr CHAN Chi-chuen, Mr Kenneth LEUNG, Mr WU Chi-wai and Mr HUI Chi-fung considered that given the Chairman's stance on amending FCP, a conflict of interests would arise if he was to preside over a meeting for FC to consider amendments to FCP. Citing the case where the LegCo President had never spoken publicly about amendments to RoP, the FC Chairman should also refrain from casually making public his views about amending FCP or FC's scrutiny on the funding proposals. Those members opined that as the Chairman must from time to time make rulings about the number and speaking time limit of speeches to be made by members during the meetings, he should strive to maintain neutrality both inside and outside FC. If the Chairman often gave his personal

- 4 -

views in a bid of steering the direction of FC's discussion, it would give rise to the impression that he was not impartial. Citing the Handbook for Chairmen of Bills Committees, Dr Fernando CHEUNG stressed that the Chairman should conduct himself with impartiality in discharging his responsibilities. 10. Mr Martin LIAO said that as the meeting had already proceeded to the joint debate on the motions and the amendments, individual members should not raise any questions at this juncture on whether it was appropriate for the Chairman to preside over the meeting. Ir Dr LO Wai-kwok, Mr Steven HO and Mr Paul TSE considered that the Chairman should not allow any member to digress from the agenda item and waste meeting time. Mr YIU Si-wing, Mr CHAN Hak-kan and Dr Junius HO said that while it was LegCo's convention for the LegCo President to refrain from expressing his views, the chairmen of other committees should, given their role as a LegCo Member, be able to express views on behalf of their voters or the sectors they represented. Also, LegCo Members would take up the role of chairmen of different LegCo committees and often express views on various matters. So long as Members could chair the meetings impartially in their capacity as chairmen of committees, it would be acceptable for them to express their own views. Dr CHIANG Lai-wan considered that if the Chairman's attention was brought to the fact that FCP had become a tool of stalling FC's deliberation due to inadequacies in its procedures, it was natural for him to express a view on amending the same. 11. In response, the Chairman said that as he noted from previous occasions when similar situations were handled by FC, the FC Chairman would only agree to deal with a member motion for the Chairman not to preside over a meeting when detailed facts or justifications had been submitted alleging that the Chairman had pecuniary interests in a particular funding proposal. Regarding the motions presently handled by FC to amend FCP, ESCP and PWSCP, he neither had any pecuniary interests nor considered himself chairing the meeting for the item would give rise to any conflicts of interests or roles. 12. Regarding some members' claim that given his pre-set position on amending the Procedures, he could not chair the meeting in a fair and impartial manner, the Chairman considered that there was no conflict between him expressing personal views on amending the Procedures as a Member and chairing the meeting as the Chairman. If a Member was not allowed to chair a meeting simply because he had personal views on a particular matter, possibly no Member could qualify to chair the meeting in that sense and hence, the meeting might have to be aborted ultimately. He

- 5 -

opined that the rule under FCP 13 about the Chairman being unable to chair a meeting for a particular item was not intended for the above situation. In accordance with FC's past practices, FCP 13 should only apply when the Chairman was alleged to have pecuniary interests in a particular agenda item. 13. Citing the example about him chairing the FC meeting on 10 February 2017 to consider the proposed increase in cash remuneration for politically-appointed officials, the Chairman pointed out that there were also members claiming that it was neither impartial nor appropriate for him to make public remarks on the agenda item in a radio programme in the capacity of the FC Chairman. Those members requested that the Deputy Chairman or another member should chair the meeting for that item. The Chairman said that having consulted the Counsel to FC, he came to the view that unless members could specifically point out that he was unfit to chair the meeting because he had pecuniary interests in the said agenda item, he would not deal with members' request for the Deputy Chairman or another member to chair the meeting on his behalf. At that time, members accepted his decision. 14. The Chairman further stated that he had indeed made public his views on the need to amend FCP for the sake of enhancing the efficiency of its deliberation after the end of the 2016-2017 legislative session because FC had failed to timely approve a number of items related to people's livelihood, not to mention his deep personal feelings about the matter given his experience of chairing FC meetings for two years. The Chairman pointed out that when standing for the FC Chairman election this legislative session, a number of members also questioned whether he was fit to be the Chairman given his position on the matter. After he responded to those questions and having the matter debated by members, he was eventually elected as the Chairman. Moreover, he had not made any comments about amending FCP after he got elected. The Chairman said that he had all along heeded the views of the Counsel to FC and the Clerk to FC. Hence, no member who acted as the Chairman could take actions on his own initiative. Speeches made by movers of amendments 15. The Chairman called upon movers of amendments, i.e. Mr CHAN Chi-chuen, Mr Alvin YEUNG, Mr WU Chi-wai and Dr Fernando CHEUNG, to take turn to speak. He directed that each member might speak once for not more than 10 minutes. 16. Mr CHAN Chi-chuen opposed the two motions proposed by

- 6 -

Mr Martin LIAO and queried the accuracy of Mr LIAO's remark about tens of thousands of FCP 37A motions being moved by members. He pointed out that in the 2017-2018 session, no infrastructure project had so far been prevented from commencement due to members' filibustering. In recent years, there was a remarkable reduction in the number of FCP 37A motions moved in FC, and the Chairman had also exercised his powers from time to time asking members to select or combine their proposed FCP 37A motions. It was thus clear that the moving of FCP 37A motions by members was for expressing views on the item concerned and should not be regarded as filibustering. He considered that it was not unreasonable for FC to spend three to four hours on average to scrutinize a financial proposal involving billions of dollars. Mr CHAN called on members to support the 2nd set of amendments he proposed on the 1st motion. The said amendments proposed to retain the provision which allowed members to move that further proceedings of FC be now adjourned, but such a motion might not be moved more than once under the same item. 17. Mr Alvin YEUNG opined that Mr Martin LIAO's amendments to the Procedures were aimed at substantially curtailing Members' powers, while strengthening the Chairman's powers. If his motions were passed, it would be difficult for LegCo to monitor the Government effectively. Members had to put questions to the public officers repeatedly during the deliberation of an agenda item because they could not answer members' questions satisfactorily. Members hoped that by making use of FC's proceedings, such as the moving of adjournment motions, they could force the Government into giving a satisfactory answer. Efficiency should not be the only benchmark for evaluating FC's work. Mr YEUNG stated that his proposed amendments to Mr LIAO's motions were intended to prevent excessive restriction on Members' functions and powers in monitoring the Government. He considered that by allowing the Chairman sole discretion to specify the time of receiving FCP 37A motions and to decide the speaking time limit of members, it was tantamount to vesting all FC's functions onto the Chairman alone, which was a very dangerous move. In reality, members would also exercise self-constraint and refrain from obstructing the meetings indiscriminately because it might otherwise invite disastrous political consequences for themselves should their voters turn away. Regarding his amendments, Mr YEUNG said that members' speaking time limit should be clearly specified in the Procedures in order to avoid abuse of power by the Chairman. Separately, it was natural for members to see the need for expressing views on an agenda item at a later stage of the scrutiny process as they identified problems with the relevant financial proposal. Thus the Chairman should allow members to submit FCP 37A motions anytime during the meetings.

18. Mr WU Chi-wai said that since the amendment of the relevant RoP provisions, it was no longer possible for members to achieve the effect of filibustering by moving motions for the adjournment of further proceedings of FC. In the 2017-2018 session so far, it took FC only one to two hours on average to complete the scrutiny of a financial proposal. While it was natural for members to ask public officers questions repeatedly to seek information, pro-establishment Members regarded such a move as obstructing FC's deliberation, blatantly ignoring the fact that the Government had evaded the questions from members in the first place. Mr WU opined that it was natural for Members to have different views on the financial proposals, not to mention that discussion on the policies concerned in the relevant Panels was invariably constrained by inadequate time. The Chairman had all along been vested with the power to decide whether the speeches made by members were repetitive, irrelevant or tedious. Hence it was indeed unwise to impose additional restrictions through amending the Procedures presently. When elaborating his 5th set of amendments to Mr LIAO's 1st motion, Mr WU said that the Chairman should first consult the attending members before setting the speaking time limit. Such an approach could avoid the abuse of power by the Chairman and was in compliance with procedural justice. 19. Dr Fernando CHEUNG said that the amendments presently proposed to be made to the Procedures had restricted the exercise of powers by LegCo Members in FC. Dr CHEUNG held that while modern societies should develop towards the direction of maintaining checks and balances, Hong Kong was now moving backwards. The powers of LegCo Members had already been restricted by Article 74 of the Basic Law ("BL") to the effect that Members could not propose any bills or amendments which related to public expenditure, while the written consent of the Chief Executive shall be required before bills relating to government policies were introduced. When examining the Budget, Members were not allowed to propose the creation of new heads of expenditure. Instead, they could only reduce the sums or additional provisions as proposed by the Government. By raising rounds of questions to the Administration on its financial proposals, FC members could highlight the pros and cons of the relevant items or the details of hidden irregularities in the use of public funds, so as to ensure public monitoring as well as better use and allocation of public resources. Dr CHEUNG opined that it was only in rare occasions previously that items could not be passed due to a voluminous number of FCP 37A motions moved by members to obstruct FC's scrutiny and hence, it was unreasonable to provide that each member could only move one FCP 37A motion for individual items. Moving members' motions for the adjournment of further proceedings of FC could force the Administration to pay heed to the concerns raised by members, so that the

- 8 -

relevant funding proposals could be revised accordingly as per members' requests. Speeches made by other members 20. The Chairman invited other members to speak. He directed that each member might speak once for not than 10 minutes. 21. Ir Dr LO Wai-kwok, Dr Priscilla LEUNG, Dr Junius HO, Dr CHIANG Lai-wan, Mr KWOK Wai-keung, Mr Holden CHOW, Mr SHIU Ka-fai, Mr LEUNG Che-cheung and Mr WONG Ting-kwong expressed support for the two motions proposed by Mr LIAO to amend the Procedures. 22. The meeting was suspended at 10:52 am to make way for the briefing by the Financial Secretary on the 2018-2019 Budget. The meeting resumed at 2:03 pm. 23. Ir Dr LO Wai-kwok cited meeting statistics to illustrate his concerns about the scrutiny progress of FC and its two subcommittees on the financial proposals. Ir Dr LO pointed out that in the 2016-2017 session, the meeting time of the Public Works Subcommittee ("PWSC") had been increased from the originally scheduled 34 hours to 70-odd hours, yet the amount of funding provisions under the approved items was only half of the total funding provisions sought under the Administration's plan. As for FC, only $58.3 billion had been approved so far in the 2017-2018 session for public works projects, with all the relevant items being those brought forward from the last session. In the 2017-2018 session, PWSC had considered 12 projects with a total cost of $23 billion. Ir Dr LO pointed out that in the three legislative sessions of 2014-2015, 2015-2016 and 2016-2017, the average time spent by FC on each financial proposal was respectively 2 hours 47 minutes, 2 hours 1 minute and 4 hours 14 minutes. In the 2016-2017 session, 64 meetings of FC had been held with a total meeting time of close to 123 hours, yet only 29 financial proposals had been approved. In the three legislative sessions of 2014-2015, 2015-2016 and 2016-2017, the average time spent by PWSC on each item was respectively 53 minutes, 1 hour 31 minutes and 3 hours 52 minutes. In the three legislative sessions of 2014-2015, 2015-2016 and 2016-2017, the average time spent by the Establishment Subcommittee ("ESC") on each item was respectively 1 hour 40 minutes, 1 hour 38 minutes and 2 hours 29 minutes. In the 2017-2018 session, the average time spent by PWSC on each proposal so far was 2 hours 6 minutes, while that by ESC was 2 hours 14 minutes.

24. Dr Priscilla LEUNG did not agree with pan-democratic Members' view that the present exercise to amend the Procedures was aimed at curtailing Members' powers in monitoring the Government, while increasing the Chairman's discretion in chairing the meetings. She pointed out that in the past, members did have different understanding on whether members could only move one or a large number of motions under FCP 37A. There was also a previous case where more than 10 000 motions had been proposed by Mr WONG Yuk-man. Dr LEUNG considered that RoP and FCP should not be revised casually had they been operating smoothly. As an example, Dr LEUNG said that previously some items with community support could not be passed before the end of the session due to the slow progress of FC's scrutiny. Some members of the public thus came to the view that the Procedures might need to be revised. She did not agree that Members' scope and right of discussion would be curtailed under the present exercise to amend the Procedures. The FC Chairman should be allowed to exercise discretion. Pan-democratic Members should make their cases through quality speeches, rather than resorting to filibustering indiscriminately because it had already become tiresome to the public. Even if each member could only move one FCP 37A motion for individual items, 20-odd FCP 37A motions could be moved by the 20-odd Members of the pan-democratic camp. So long as members could maintain the quality of their speeches and questions, the scope of Members' discussion would not be undermined. 25. Dr Junius HO considered that the provisions under the existing Procedures where members could move a motion for the adjournment of further proceedings immediately after a motion for the adjournment of discussion on an agenda item had been vetoed were neither reasonable nor in line with the principle of optimizing the use of meeting time for the discussion on agenda items. Dr HO was of the view that the present arrangement where members of FC or its subcommittees took turn to speak and less speaking time was allowed for each additional round of speech was orderly and effective. Moreover, the Chairmen would always exercise their discretion to allow members or public officers to finish their speeches. Dr HO held that at present, members already had enough time to express their views, and the moving of a voluminous number of FCP 37A motions by members could not increase the time for discussing the financial proposals. Instead, it would only stall the voting on the relevant agenda items by FC or its subcommittees. 26. Dr CHIANG Lai-wan said that the progress of scrutinizing certain livelihood items had indeed been stalled by filibustering. Citing the examples about Ms Claudia MO asking public officers for the difference between arsenic and cyanide or the conversion method between hectare and

- 10 -

square metre in FC meetings, as well as Mr CHU Hoi-dick moving a motion to adjourn further proceedings of FC because he was dissatisfied that the Permanent Secretary for Home Affairs who was in charge of a project for the West Kowloon Cultural District under discussion was not present at the meeting, Dr CHIANG said that while she agreed that Members were duty-bound to raise questions to the Government, it was clear from the above examples that many of the questions repeatedly raised by some members at the meetings were niggling ones. Dr CHIANG held that as it was Members' duty to attend the meetings, there was really no need to provide for the moving of members' motions to adjourn further proceedings in the Procedures. It was obviously an abuse of procedure should members move hundreds of FCP 37A motions. 27. Mr KWOK Wai-keung considered that FC was still making slow progress in terms of scrutinizing the financial proposals. To show their participation in the scrutiny process, pan-democratic Members would raise niggling questions even for uncontroversial items. Thus a considerable amount of time had to be spent on the scrutiny of such items needlessly, resulting in a huge backlog of funding proposals awaiting consideration by FC. Notwithstanding, pan-democratic Members still moved adjournment motions time and again or even requested to speak and discuss motions to shorten the duration of the division bell, merely for the sake of further wasting a substantial amount of FC's meeting time. Regarding the point raised by pan-democratic Members that they must ask questions repeatedly or even move motions for the adjournment of discussion because the Administration had failed to answer their questions satisfactorily, Mr KWOK opined that such a theory was only meant to divert attention and cover up their real intention of filibustering and obstructing FC's progress in scrutinizing the funding proposals. Mr KWOK held that the aim of the present amendments to the Procedures as proposed by Mr Martin LIAO was to ensure the smooth conduct of meetings of the legislature, so that it could discharge its functions properly. To this end, the proposed amendments were appropriate in scope and mild in intensity. 28. Mr Holden CHOW said that while he agreed that it was Members' duty to monitor the Government's administration, it should not become an excuse for stalling FC's scrutiny on the Government's funding proposals, so much so that the Government could hardly maintain effective operation or even preventing the timely approval of certain funding applications related to people's livelihood. As far as FCP 37A motions were concerned, even if the Chairman could exercise his discretion and limit the number of motions to be moved by members, there were also past cases where violent debate among members or even scuffles had arisen from the Chairman's decision. In the end, FC must spend a fair amount of meeting time to deal

- 11 -

with those situations. Mr CHOW considered that even if each member could only move one FCP 37A motion, members would not be deprived of the opportunity to move meaningful motions so long as the motions were proposed after careful consideration. Mr CHOW pointed out that if the requests of pan-democratic Members were pragmatic and feasible, and they were willing to compromise and forge a consensus, they could always lobby support from pro-establishment Members. 29. Mr SHIU Ka-fai said that there were occasions when he would rather give up on asking questions to avoid the worsening of FC's backlog because the progress of FC's scrutiny had been hampered by the questions raised by some members. Mr SHIU agreed that while Members were duty-bound to monitor the Government, they should avoid creating adverse impact on the Government's funding allocations and operation, such that the development of society was also affected. Mr SHIU stated that the engineering sector was perturbed by the uncertainty arising from the delays in securing funding approval for public works projects as they could hardly make effective planning for the allocation of resources. Workers in the engineering sector likewise were gravely concerned about their employment prospects. Mr SHIU opined that as extensive and in-depth discussion had already been held on the funding proposals recommended by the subcommittees for FC's approval, they should not be discussed in FC again endlessly. Disagreeing with pan-democratic Members' view that some public works projects were white elephant projects, Mr SHIU said that those projects were conducive to Hong Kong's development. Regarding Mr LIAO's amendments to FCP 37A to the effect that each member could only move one motion for individual items, Mr SHIU considered that the right of members to express their views had not been undermined. 30. Expressing support for Mr Martin LIAO's amendments, Mr LEUNG Che-cheung considered that society was made to pay a high price when some members previously proposed a voluminous number of FCP 37A motions to stall the scrutiny progress of funding proposals. As a result, the engineering sector could not proceed with the works projects, and the workers' livelihood had been adversely impacted. According to his observation, some members were unchecked in terms of their filibustering as they were still asking questions repeatedly, moving FCP 37A motions or moving motions for the adjournment of further proceedings immediately after motions for the adjournment of discussion on agenda items. Mr LEUNG pointed out that members should win the public's support through sound arguments, rather than filibustering indiscriminately to stall the progress of meetings. Mr LEUNG opined that FCP 37A motions were originally intended to allow members to express

- 12 -

views, and in turn, urge the Government to refine the funding proposals, while motions for the adjournment of discussion on an item or further proceedings of FC under FCP 39 were intended to allow time for LegCo and the Administration to convince each other. Notwithstanding, the two provisions had now been abused seriously and become a tool for stalling the scrutiny progress of funding proposals. Thus it was indeed necessary to amend the same. 31. Mr WONG Ting-kwong said that the provisions in RoP were strictly observed by Members of both the former LegCo and LegCo before and after Hong Kong's unification. But in recent years, a handful of Members tried to paralyze the Government and obstruct its administration through filibustering under the pretext of democratic monitoring of the Government. Citing that the time taken for the scrutiny of funding proposals could vary from more than two hours to less than one minute in some cases, he pointed out that pan-democratic Members were effectively and completely controlling the duration of the scrutiny period. Mr WONG considered that members who proposed a voluminous number of FCP 37A motions were obviously abusing the procedure rather than expressing dissenting views. Referring to previous cases when a handful of members had besieged the Chairman's podium in protest and disrupted the Chairman's chairing of meetings, Mr WONG held that such acts were extremely inappropriate. 32. Mr Charles Peter MOK, Mr Kenneth LEUNG, Dr KWOK Ka-ki, Ms Claudia MO, Mr CHU Hoi-dick, Mr LAM Cheuk-ting, Mr James TO and Mr Dennis KWOK opposed the motions proposed by Mr Martin LIAO to amend the Procedures. 33. Mr Charles Peter MOK said that at present, FC could on average complete the scrutiny of a financial proposal in about one or two hours. In the 2017-2018 session, only a limited number of motions had so far been moved by members to adjourn the discussion on an item or further proceedings of FC, which were significantly fewer than those in the past two sessions. Mr MOK pointed out that at present, the Chairman already had the power to request members to combine their FCP 37A motions or even rule certain motions to be out of order on the grounds that they were unrelated to the item under discussion. In most cases, FC would decide against handling the FCP 37A motions and hence, FCP 37A motions could rarely be put to discussion in FC. Mr MOK queried that the claim made by the pro-establishment camp about pan-democratic Members filibustering in FC meetings was nothing but fabrication and stigmatization. He opined that the present exercise of amending FCP was tantamount to LegCo undermining its own powers to monitor the Government as the

- 13 -

room for discussion allowed for the pro-democracy camp in monitoring the Government had been tightened. By asking all sorts of questions about the financial proposals, Members could help improve the Administration's governance, and it would be against the public's expectation if Members just passed the financial proposals hastily without any questions. 34. Mr Kenneth LEUNG queried whether FC's efficiency in handling the agenda items should be benchmarked against the amount of approved funding provisions. He also pointed out that there was no direct relationship between the time of discussion and the amount of approved funding provisions. The FC Chairman could chair the meetings and impose restrictions on the number of FCP 37A motions proposed by members, their speaking time, and so on, pursuant to the powers conferred by FCP. He held that the Chairman could decide for himself how to exercise his powers so long as he was guided by the spirit and letters of the Procedures, and if necessary, reference could also be made to the relevant court judgments concerning the Chairman's powers in chairing the meetings. Mr LEUNG held that FC Members were duty-bound to consider the funding proposals for various public works projects from the perspectives of proper use of public funds and improving people's livelihood before giving approval. Mr LEUNG considered it unfair that while pan-democratic Members were dutifully asking all sorts of detailed questions on the funding proposals, they were being stigmatized as filibustering. 35. Ms Claudia MO expressed dissatisfaction about pro-establishment Members seeking to undermine Members' powers in monitoring the use of public funds by the Government through amending the Procedures. Given that pro-democracy Members did not hold a majority of seats in Council and hence, failing to maintain their power of veto, they had no choice but resort to filibustering in the hope of sabotaging or stalling the Administration's abhorrent policies or draconian laws. 36. Dr KWOK Ka-ki considered that Members were duty-bound to monitor the Government's administration. Even before RoP was amended in December 2017, LegCo Members only had very limited powers. For instance, they could not introduce motions incurring public expenditure or amendments to the Budget to increase the provisions for benefitting people's livelihood. FC and its two subcommittees thus became the only venue for Members to give full play to their already very limited powers in monitoring the Government. The views expressed by Members when considering public works items could help the Government refine the details of the relevant projects, improve its administration and rectify any irregularities. Dr KWOK opined that many works projects approved by

- 14 -

FC, such as the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, were white elephant projects passed hastily by the pro-establishment camp to protect the interests of major consortia. For projects involving substantial funding provisions, FC's gate-keeping role had become all the more important as there was invariably inadequate discussion in the relevant Panels. Yet with the present amendments to the Procedures, the control over members' deliberation power had been tightened further. Dr KWOK considered that after the disqualification of six LegCo Members, pro-establishment Members could dictate the game and have full control over the voting results in FC meetings. 37. Mr CHU Hoi-dick pointed out that for pro-establishment Members who supported the amendments to the Procedures, FC was like a factory producing goods according to the owner's demands. But FC was vested with the power and responsibility to actively and properly discharge its functions under BL in monitoring the Government's public expenditure. Through deeply probing the items under discussion, members were putting pressures on the Government to ensure that its policies would not deviate from public opinion. Mr CHU pointed out that under Mr LIAO's proposed amendments to FCP 37A, the Chairman would be vested with the power to decide the timing for members to propose FCP 37A motions. In this way, members could no longer propose their FCP 37A motions after consolidating the views which emerged in the course of discussion. Mr CHU pointed out that at present, the Chairman could already exercise his powers to limit the number of FCP 37A motions that could be moved by members or require members to consolidate a large number of motions into several motions. Through such an approach, the Chairman should be able to effectively control the progress of scrutiny. Mr CHU also considered that Mr LIAO's proposed amendments to the provisions on moving the adjournment of further proceedings and increasing the Chairman's discretion over the speaking time of members were unwarranted. 38. Mr LAM Cheuk-ting admitted that Members of the Democratic Party had taken part in some filibusters previously because they had doubts about the relevant funding proposals and did not want to see their passage. Questions asked by Members in the meetings could invariably reveal certain important questions yet to be accounted for by the Government. While LegCo only had very few powers in checking against the Government's administration, the time available for Members to ask questions at Panel meetings was also quite limited. As such, pro-establishment Members should attach importance to the quality of FC's scrutiny on the financial proposals. It would be against the public's expectation if dubious funding applications were passed lightly. Mr LAM

- 15 -

considered that repeated questions were asked by members because the Administration had failed to answer them satisfactorily, while the moving of FCP 37A motions for the expression of views was also a power conferred to members by the Procedures. As each member might have views on different aspects of a funding proposal which they wanted to express through FCP 37A motions, it was unreasonable to limit that only one such motion could be moved by each member. Mr LAM held that Members known for filibustering were elected into LegCo because their filibustering was endorsed by many members of the public. As such, the view of those members of the public should also be respected. 39. Mr James TO said that disputes and confrontation started emerging in LegCo primarily after the previous term of Government came into office. As the new Chief Executive assumed office, the atmosphere of confrontation in society had become less intense. Yet pro-establishment Members still sought to impose even more stringent restrictions on FC's scrutiny process, so much so that they even considered the average discussion time of two hours for each financial proposal too long and wanted to cut it down further. Of all the FC members, there were only about 10-odd Members who asked questions actively, and their questions were always of a high quality. Mr TO considered that it was nothing unusual in any free and democratic society for Members to spend a little more time on the scrutiny of a handful of seriously controversial items. Mr TO pointed out that the essence of "one country, two systems" was the representation of opposition Members in Hong Kong's legislature. The opposition camp could disapprove bills or funding applications by filibustering allowed under the Council's rules and procedures as a means to prevent the passage of any proposals which they considered to be not in order. However, the amendments presently proposed to the Procedures might defeat the original intent of "one country, two systems". 40. Mr Dennis KWOK said that 83 bills (or more than 90%) and all the 200-odd items of subsidiary legislation had been passed by LegCo. For FC, more than 90% of the items submitted for approval were eventually passed. Illustrating his point with examples, Mr KWOK said that FC was indeed duty-bound to block the approval of certain items such as the making of capital injection for the expansion of the Hong Kong Disneyland and the $20-odd billion additional provisions to cover the cost overrun of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link ("XRL"). Mr KWOK considered that the backlog of funding proposals or the so-called filibustering of members could easily be resolved if the Chairman reshuffled the order of agenda items by deferring those which were controversial or advancing those which were uncontroversial or related to people's livelihood. Mr KWOK held that Mr LIAO's proposed

amendments to the Procedures could only achieve a minimal saving of meeting time and failed to prevent members from blocking or stalling FC's scrutiny on gravely controversial items through other means. Mr KWOK called on members and the Administration to hold discussions on how to improve the relationship between the Executive and the Legislature, so as to avoid the inclusion of controversial items into the agenda. Mr Martin LIAO speaking on the amendments and in reply 41. The Chairman called upon Mr Martin LIAO to speak on the amendments. Mr LIAO said that the adjournment procedure was adapted from RoP 40, and the intention was not to adjourn the entire meeting. He pointed out that it was unreasonable for pan-democratic Members to propose amendments to the effect that the expression "or further proceedings of the Committee" deleted by his motion was reinstated to expand the meaning of the adjournment procedure. Regarding the 2nd set of amendments which provided that the motion of further proceedings of FC be now adjourned might not be moved more than once under the same item, Mr LIAO opined that it was unjustified because even the procedure for the adjournment of further proceedings under RoP 40(4) had not provided for the adjournment of the entire LegCo meeting, not to mention the number of such adjournment motions to be moved. 42. Regarding members' speaking time limit during debates on motions to adjourn discussion on particular agenda items, Mr Martin LIAO pointed out that the amendments proposed by members respectively suggested a time limit of 5, 7 or 10 minutes, but no plausible justifications had been given. Mr LIAO pointed out that in his motion, the speaking time limit of three minutes was adopted to reflect the original speaking time limit specified in the provision, while allowing the Chairman discretion to decide on the speaking time limit as a balance. Mr LIAO held that adjournment motions were to be moved under urgent circumstances with proper justifications and hence, members' speeches on such motions should be clear and concise. The amendments proposed by pan-democratic Members to extend the speaking time limit for adjournment motions were totally unjustified. 43. Mr Martin LIAO pointed out that the amendments also sought to impose various restrictions on the Chairman's power to decide the speaking time limit for adjournment motions; for instance, such decisions could only be made after consulting the members present or with the agreement of the committee or the Deputy Chairman. Mr LIAO considered that the powers and functions of LegCo President to preside over meetings and to decide on the agenda, and so on, had already been provided under BL 72. The principle, which had already been given effect in RoP, should also be

extended to apply to FC meetings. The FC Chairman could only chair the meetings effectively if he was vested with the discretion to decide members' speaking time limit. Mr LIAO opined that the FC Chairman had all along handled the unreasonable requests made by some opposition members with a conciliatory attitude, and the proposals to check against the Chairman's powers under the amendments were unreasonable. 44. Mr Martin LIAO said that if his 2nd motion was passed, each FC member could still propose no more than one FCP 37A motion, and FC would still have all the means to express consolidated views on the Government's funding proposals. FC's discussion could then become more focused, while FC could discharge its constitutional and social responsibilities more effectively. Regarding the amendments to the effect that each member could propose no more than 10 or 15 FCP 37A motions or such motions could still be amendable, Mr LIAO considered them tools to create room for filibustering and abuses of the procedure. Regarding the amendments proposed by four Members on the way of presenting FCP 37A motions, Mr LIAO said that there was a suggestion for such motions to only be read aloud at the meetings. In that case, the wording of the relevant motions might become unclear. Separately, regarding the suggestions that such motions could be presented at the meetings or immediately, he said that in the former case, members would be deprived of the opportunity to take note of such motions and make preparations before the meeting, while practical and operational difficulties would be created in the latter case. 45. Mr Martin LIAO pointed out that the two motions he proposed were intended to increase FC's efficiency in its deliberation, facilitate the discharge of its constitutional and social responsibilities and curtail certain common abuses of procedure or filibustering tactics. 46. The Chairman then called upon Mr Martin LIAO to speak in reply. Mr LIAO said that at present, the development of Hong Kong's economy and the improvement of people's livelihood were lagging seriously behind as a result of filibustering in LegCo. The present move made by pro-establishment Members to amend the Procedures was aimed at restoring the normal operation of FC and its two subcommittees by suitably curtailing filibustering, so that FC could monitor the Government on the one hand and safeguard the overall interests of society on the other hand. Mr LIAO pointed out that when speaking in the debate, some members only reiterated slogans about safeguarding the so-called Members' rights to speak and monitor the Government. He expressed regret about those members ignoring the adverse impact of filibustering on the overall interests of society.

47. Mr Martin LIAO said that in the 2016-2017 session, FC spent about 16 hours or 13% of its total meeting time on the handling of motions for the adjournment of further proceedings of FC or discussion on an agenda item. In the case of PWSC, the time spent on such proceedings was over 11 hours or more than 15% of its meeting time. Separately, the time spent by FC on the handling of FCP 37A motions moved by Members amounted to 12 hours or 10% of its meeting time, while in the case of PWSC, over 5 hours or 7% of its meeting time was spent on the handling of the same kind of motions. Similarly, ESC spent over 8% of its meeting time on the handling of the above two filibustering procedures. If counting together the time spent on the handling of points of order raised by Members and their misconduct, as well as the proceedings on motions to shorten the duration of division bell, FC had lost almost 40% of its meeting time. Mr LIAO considered that Members who supported filibustering had ignored the fact that as much as 40% of FC's meeting time was spent on proceedings which had no substantive content and were unrelated to the financial proposals, and such a substantial amount of time could have been used for asking questions on the substantive content of the financial proposals. 48. Mr Martin LIAO also pointed out that construction costs had increased by 60% over the past six years. As a result of delays in granting approval for public works projects due to filibustering, project costs had been driven up invariably, leading to a waste of public money. In recent years, the engineering sector had been impacted seriously by the drastic fluctuations of the construction output, with no new projects commencing for eight months in a roll at one point. As a result, there was insufficient work for the 12 000 frontline workers in the industry, while the starting salaries for graduates had also dropped. This might, in turn, undermine the willingness of new entrants to join the industry and affect its sustainable development. Regarding the point raised by some non-establishment Members that the Government should advance the order of livelihood items on the agenda, Mr LIAO considered that such a view reflected their mindset of regarding livelihood items as political bargaining chips. Regarding some Members' claim that they had filibustered when considering the funding proposals concerning the advance works of the Northeast New Territories New Development Areas and the Hong Kong section of XRL in order to reflect public opinion, Mr LIAO considered that those projects were supported by mainstream public opinion. He held that Members and the entire legislature must be accountable to society as a whole, and individual Members should not opt for total destruction and abuse the system.

49. Mr Martin LIAO pointed out that the general public already found the protracted filibustering loathsome and tiring. His proposed amendments were meant to slightly rein in the filibustering which had gone haywire, so as to give Members more space to seriously consider the details of the financial proposals. Mr LIAO stressed that his proposed amendments were mild in nature and not intended to target specific persons or political parties. The amendments were only intended to bring the meetings back to smooth operation and increase efficiency, so that LegCo could properly perform its gate-keeping role in approving public expenditure and duly discharge its constitutional and social responsibilities. Voting on the motions and amendments 50. At 4:17 pm, the Chairman declared that FC would proceed to voting on the motions and amendments. He invited Mr CHAN Chi-chuen, Mr Alvin YEUNG, Mr WU Chi-wai and Dr Fernando CHEUNG to move respectively the 1st to 10th sets of amendments which sought to amend Mr Martin LIAO's 1st motion and forthwith proposed and put to vote the questions on their amendments set by set. At the request of members, the Chairman ordered a division on each set of amendments. 51. After the Chairman declared that the 1st set of amendments to the 1st motion was negatived, a motion was moved under FCP 47 that in the event of any divisions being claimed in respect of any motions under the same agenda item, FC should proceed to each of such divisions immediately after the division bell had been rung for one minute. The Chairman put the motion to vote. At the request of members, the Chairman ordered a division, and the motion was carried. The votes of individual members were set out in the Annex.
