This page lists every recorded use of the words injurious and injuriously in parliamentary debate during 1913. 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 LORD BISHOP OF BRISTOL | Primate and of myself, that we are not in the least afraid of Part III even if cathedrals were included, because Part III only comes into operation when the monuments are neglected and treated injuriously, and we are confident that that would not be so in the case of our great cathedrals; but it would be a great mischief to mix up ecclesiastical buildings with secular in this legislation. |
| EARL BEAUCHAMP | It has been thought better to deal with the matter by applying the Advertisements Regulation Act, 1907, because under that Act local authorities already have certain powers to make by-lows as to advertisements which affect injuriously the amenities of a public park, or a promenade, or which disfigure a locality. |
| LORD COURTNEY OF PENWITH | It is evident that compensation is not a thing to which the noble Earl is tied, and perhaps he may, like myself, regard it as being injurious to the fortunes of the Bill. |
| THE LORD BISHOP OF ST. DAVIDS | It is, indeed, a heavy burden of injurious consequences to the cause of religion as a whole which the Government places upon a mere theory which it has failed to prove, and which so strong a Liberal as the learned Professor Freeman did not hesitate to denounce as "horrible folly" and worse. |
| LORD ASHBY ST. LEDGERS | That was adopted in 1892, but it was discontinued last year because it was felt that, it was injurious to such young children to submit them to competitive examination. |
