In this connection, please inform this Committee of the following: (a) (b) Is the increased provision of around $30 million a one-off or regular support measure for the MPAGs? Is bidding required in applying for the increased provision? If so, what are the details? What vetting mechanism will the Administration adopt? What are the reasons for the Administration to grant the provision of $30 million by way of bidding? If such provision is a regular support measure for the MPAGs, will the bidding approach be used in the long run? What are the reasons? Please provide the regular grant amount approved for each MPAG in the past year and this year using the following table: MPAG Grant amount in 2013-14 Grant amount in 2014-15 Asked by: Hon.

In view of the different development needs of the MPAGs, on the advice of the Advisory Committee on Arts Development (ACAD), a bidding approach was adopted under which the MPAGs were invited to submit applications for additional recurrent funding to support proposals that were long term in nature (whereas funding proposals for new initiatives which are time-limited in nature will continue to be considered under the Contestable Funding Pilot Scheme). Allocation of the additional funds to the MPAGs applying for the additional funding was determined on the basis of the ACAD s holistic assessment of all the proposals put forward in the applications in accordance with a set of assessment criteria and having regard to the applicants past performance and business plans and budgets for 2014-15. The additional amount of recurrent funding approved for the groups will be incorporated into their annual subvention on a recurrent basis thereafter, subject to their submission of business plans and budgets under the annual funding exercise.

Asked by: Hon. WONG Pik-wan, Helena Reply: The additional subvention is for the uniformed groups (UGs) to enhance their work in youth development. With additional funding, the UGs can organise extra activities, step up their recruitment of new youth members, assist needy students, enhance the services through providing more training to the volunteer leaders and improve the corporate governance.

Why? What programmes did the Association of Hong Kong Flag-guards organise over the past two years? What were the details? How would the effectiveness of the programmes be assessed? Asked by: Hon. WONG Pik-wan, Helena Reply: The Association of Hong Kong Flag-guards (AHKF) was not given any funding under the Assistance Scheme for Needy Student Members (the Scheme) in 2013-14 and their amount of recurrent subvention was relatively small. With the increase in recurrent subvention and a provision of funding under the Scheme, the total amount of recurrent subvention for the Association is nearly tripled in 2014-15. In 2012-13 and 2013-14, the AHKF organised 33 and 29 activities respectively, including annual parade, flag-guards training sessions and flag-guarding competition, inspection and marching band training etc. The total number of youth participants were around 3 830 in 2012-13 and around 4 760 in 2013-14. The AHKF will submit a year plan, a budget and an annual report in relation to youth activities to the Administration for scrutiny. Session 13 HAB - Page 174

Will the government inform this Council of: (a) The budget set for each of the support service centre in each of the years from 2010 to 2014; (b) The number of service users of each support service centre in each of the years from 2010 to 2014, disaggregated by whether they are of Chinese ethnicity; and (c) If the majority of service users of the centres are ethnic minorities, what measures has been taken or will be taken by the government to promote the integration of ethnic minorities into mainstream society through these support service centres. Asked by: Hon. MO, Claudia Reply: (a) & (b) The support services for ethnic minorities (EMs) have been transferred from the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau to the Home Affairs Department (HAD) since April 2011. The budget and number of service users of the support service centres and sub-centres for EMs in 2011-12 and 2012-13 are as follows: Centre/Sub-centre Annual budget ($ million) No. of target service users per year No. of service users in 2011-12 No. of service users in 2012-13 HOPE Centre (Wan Chai) 1 3.79 3 900 5 400 4 300 CHEER Centre (Kwun Tong) 2 7.00 9 600 (including 340 Chinese) SHINE Centre (Tuen Mun) 5.00 7 200 (including 540 Chinese) 12 800 (including 1 100 Chinese) 8 400 (including 1 200 Chinese) 10 600 (including 1 100 Chinese) 7 700 (including 2 500 Chinese) YLTH Centre (Yuen Long) 1, 3 4.95 12 400 16 500 18 400 HOME Centre (Yau Tsim Mong) 5.72 11 000 and Sub-centre (Sham Shui Po) 4 (including 180 Chinese) - 12 300 (including 270 Chinese) TOUCH Sub-centre (Tung 1.54 1 100-4 000 Chung) 1, 4 Session 13 HAB - Page 175

1 2 3 4 HOPE Centre, YLTH Centre and TOUCH Sub-centre do not keep breakdown of Chinese service users. CHEER Centre also provides telephone interpretation and translation service (English and seven EM languages) to assist EMs to access to public services. YLTH Centre has made use of its non-governmental organisation s hall facility to organise events that can accommodate a large number of participants, such as cultural shows, job fairs, etc. HOME Centre and Sub-centre and TOUCH Sub-centre commenced operation in late 2012. (c) At present, all support service centres and sub-centres provide various tailor-made support services for EMs to facilitate their integration into the community, such as Cantonese classes, integration programmes, including employment workshops and orientation programmes, etc., to equip them with necessary knowledge and skills to live in Hong Kong, counseling and referral services to address their needs and assist them in tackling difficulties, cross-cultural and social inclusion activities such as volunteer work, visits and cultural shows, etc. to broaden their social network and enhance their confidence in communicating with others. In 2014-15, HAD will enhance the support services in the centres and sub-centres by setting up youth units to provide dedicated programmes for EM youths, such as sports and cultural activities, to help their personal development as well as providing them with more opportunities in communicating with local youths.

Asked by: Hon. KWOK, Dennis Reply: The statistics provided in the tables in parts (i) and (ii) of Reply HAB163 concern civil applications for legal aid. The relevant statistics maintained by the Department do not distinguish between civil actions and civil appeals. With regard to criminal legal aid applications, Rule 13A of the Legal Aid in Criminal Cases Rules (LACCR) (Cap. 221D) empowers the Director of Legal Aid, on applications for criminal appeals to the Court of Final Appeal, to refer the application to a panel lawyer to give an opinion on any question of law arising out of the application. Between 2011 and 2013, the Department has not instructed any private practitioners to give opinion on applications for intended appeal to the Court of Final Appeal. The number of applications for criminal appeals to the Court of Final Appeal and the percentage of cases where legal aid was ultimately refused on merits in the same period are set out in the table below Year No. of applications for appeals to the Court of Final Appeal No. of cases ultimately refused on merits Percentage of cases refused 2011 98 78 80% 2012 125 100 80% 2013 145 120 83% Session 13 HAB - Page 177

(b) (c) What were the staff establishment and related expenditure for the provision of lending services in public libraries in each of the past three years? How much did the Administration pay for the copyrights of music and video materials in each of the past three years? Asked by: Hon. MA Fung-kwok Reply: (a) The number of loans of Chinese and English books of the Hong Kong Public Libraries (HKPL) in the past three years is tabulated below: 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 Chinese Books 43 639 867 40 669 058 40 825 449 English Books 11 642 414 11 746 429 12 110 421 Total 55 282 281 52 415 487 52 935 870 (b) The HKPL is composed of a network of 67 static libraries and ten mobile libraries, which are in turn supported centrally by various functional units such as the Technical Processing Unit, Computer Unit and Extension Activities Unit. The staffing and related expenditure for the provision of public library services is therefore accounted on a collective basis and no breakdown for the provision of lending services only can be provided. The staff establishment and related expenditure for providing library services under Programme (5): Public Libraries in the past three years are provided in the table below. 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 (Estimated) Total number of staff establishment* 894 1 128 1 198 Total expenditure ($ million) 303.26 340.66 380.86 * As at 1 April of 2011, 2012 and 2013 respectively Session 13 HAB - Page 178

(c) The HKPL enters into contracts with suppliers of audio-visual materials under which the HKPL is granted the right or licence to provide reading, listening and viewing services of such materials at designated libraries as well as the right to lend audio materials to any third party. Apart from paying contractual fees to the suppliers, the HKPL is not required to pay extra charge for the provision of the above-mentioned services on a loan basis since the suppliers are bound by the contracts to ensure that the audio-visual materials supplied to the public libraries can be used without any restriction. The HKPL pays royalties/licence fees to the registered licensing bodies for the public performance of music and background music during events held in the libraries and the hiring units of the Hong Kong Central Library, as well as the showing and playing of music works at the individual workstations of public libraries. The total amount of royalties/licence fee paid by the HKPL to the relevant licensing bodies in the past three years is $175,945 (2013-14), $170,438 (2012-13) and $168,075 (2011-12) respectively.

Examination of Estimates of Expenditure 2014-15 CONTROLLING OFFICER S REPLY Reply Serial No. S-HAB20 (Question Serial No. S0110) Head: Subhead (No. & title): Programme: Controlling Officer: Director of Bureau: (95) Leisure and Cultural Services Department (-) Not Specified (5) Public Libraries Director of Leisure and Cultural Services (Mrs. Betty FUNG) Secretary for Home Affairs Question (Member Question No.): In Reply Serial No. HAB217, the Administration only provided a breakdown by adult and children type, and indicated that information by classification and statistics on usage were not readily available from the computer system instantly. As a follow-up, can the Administration provide these information later? On the other hand, I have noticed that among the Chinese books for adult lending, except for the publications of the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority, the remaining seven items on the list are books written by local novelists and around 200 copies were acquired for each title. Many authors are worried that the acquisition of a large quantity of copies by libraries may affect their income and, in the long run, it will have an impact on the promotion of creative writing and the local publishing industry. In fact, there is a growing public awareness of the importance to protect intellectual property rights. Authors should be recognised and reasonably rewarded for their efforts. Many stakeholders have repeatedly reflected to me and the Department that there is no such concept of public lending right in Hong Kong. Provided that library services are not affected, will the Department conduct a feasibility study on and consider the introduction of public lending right? Asked by: Hon. MA Fung-kwok Reply: Other than the list of the top ten Chinese and English titles acquired in 2013-14 for the adult and junior library collection of the Hong Kong Public Libraries (HKPL) submitted earlier, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department will provide the most acquired top ten titles by classification for adult and children books in 2013-14 in around two weeks time Note. However, the corresponding loan figures for these books in a particular year are not available in HKPL s computer system which is designed to capture cumulative loan statistics since the purchase of the books. The HKPL follows the principles laid down in the UNESCO Public Library Manifesto in developing a diversified library collection to meet the community s needs for information and research, to support continuous education and profitable use of leisure, and to promote literary arts. In 2013, the HKPL organised over 20 000 extension activities throughout the territory to promote reading and literature including the works of the local authors. As libraries and authors are partners in promoting creative works and knowledge, public libraries help enhance the public s knowledge of and interest in local authors and their works. Note The most acquired top ten English and Chinese titles by classification for the adult and junior lending collection in 2013-14 are provided on 27 May 2014. Please refer to Annex for details. Session 13 HAB - Page 180

Public lending right (PLR) is a controversial issue internationally. At present, the guidelines promulgated by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) do not require the adoption of a PLR system and there is no consensus among public libraries internationally whether such a system should be adopted. While the PLR system is adopted in some western countries, such system is absent in the whole of Asia and countries like the United States. It should be noted that IFLA considers the argument that the provision of copyright works by public libraries for free lending detracts from primary sales is unproven. We share IFLA s core values that the provision of free and equitable access to information by public libraries should not be affected or restricted. The HKPL will continue to provide free public lending service and a platform for free cultural exchange and free access to information. On the PLR issue, we will keep in view of the international developments in considering the way forward. Session 13 HAB - Page 181
