This page lists every recorded use of the words injurious and injuriously in parliamentary debate during 1910. Each instance is reproduced in its context as recorded in Hansard.
This survey forms part of the evidence for the correct legal interpretation of injurious weeds in the Weeds Act 1959. See also why “harmful weeds” misrepresents the law.
| Speaker | Context |
|---|---|
| THE PAYMASTER-GENERAL (LORD ASHBY ST. LEDGERS) | The noble Viscount, Lord Midleton, speaking in this House the other day, deplored the necessity of these debates, which he thought were injurious to the public interests, but I observed that in deploring their necessity he was not deterred from selecting from among all the possible criticisms which might be directed against our military system that which, if true, would be the most damning of all. |
| THE MARQUESS OF LANSDOWNE | My Lords, I will only say before I sit down that I earnestly hope the noble Lord the Secretary for Scotland will bear in mind the suggestions which have been laid before him to-night, and that when he comes to deal 521 next year, as we understand he intends to do, with further measures affecting the position of these crofters, he will at any rate remember that there are considerable interests at stake, and that mistaken generosity may be in the end not only very injurious to other classes of the community, but even to the very class for whose benefit it is intended. |
| VISCOUNT MORLEY OF BLACKBURN | What is the most injurious of all the complaints which are made against your Lordships' House? |
| LORD CURZON OF KEDLESTON | On the Juba River, the frontier of the East Africa Protectorate, there are powerful and turbulent Somali tribes, and if once they were set in motion by the Mullah the consequences might be most serious for the East Africa Protectorate, while our prestige in the other countries in North-East Africa, such as the Soudan and Uganda, might be injuriously affected. |
