| THE MARQUESS CURZON OF KEDLESTON | Surely, if a statement of this sort is made, be it just or unjust, by a Minister of the Crown, and a Minister of the Grown is challenged, it is not open to him to say in reply: "I do not want to asperse the character of this or that parish; I do not want to attack this or that farmer." He is bound, as an officer of the Government, to state his authority for a statement which is in its essence damaging, disparaging and injurious. |
| LORD MARSHALL OF CHIPSTEAD | I know a case in which another great institution has an eye on another burial ground in the City of London, and once you admit the principle that these burial grounds may be built over, it will be most injurious to the City of London. |
| LORD OLIVIER | The West Indies and our other sugar-producing Colonies have favoured this Bill and the policy of home-grown sugar because they were not jealous and did not believe it would injuriously compete with them, and more perhaps because, like practical men, they saw that the establishment of a strong sugar interest in this country could not fail to strengthen their own position in regard to their own industries. |
| LORD SEMPILL | I rise to make the suggestion to His Majesty's Government that, if possible, the Ministry of Transport, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, should frame some Bill which would prevent local authorities using any material for the construction or repair of roads which is injurious to fish life; or, in other words, that any material used by road authorities should first receive the sanction of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. |
| LORD OLIVIER | Three decisions were taken which Indians have felt very grievously injurious and insulting to themselves. |
| LORD OLIVIER | With regard to Africa, I have been all my life primarily concerned with the interest of Africans and the negro races, and I have no prejudice whatever in favour of admitting Indians in injurious competition with African natives—rather the reverse. |
| LORD OLIVIER | The way to advance is to go back into the Council and to work in the Council, to show that you and your constituent" are fit members—not to take offence and to say : "We will not play." I feel strongly that the discrimination is injurious, But still, having regard to the purposes of such a transitional Constitution as that of Kenya Colony, I do deplore the attitude that is being encouraged by Indian Swarajists. |
| THE MARQUESS CURZON OF KEDLESTON | If any noble Lord in this House gets up and utters matter that reflects injuriously upon the character of any other noble Lord he is at once challenged. |
