This page lists every recorded use of the words injurious and injuriously in parliamentary debate during 1925. 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 CHANCELLOR (VISCOUNT CAVE) | Everybody feels and admits that it is injurious to public morals that indecent matter should be published in our Press and so come into the hands of young people. |
| LORD EMMOTT | The subsection enables any person whose property is injuriously affected by the prescribing of an improvement line to obtain from the local authority compensation in respect of such injurious affection. |
| LORD EMMOTT | The subsection enables any person whose property is injuriously affected by the prescribing of an improvement line to obtain from the local authority compensation in respect of such injurious affection. |
| LORD EMMOTT | The, claim to compensation for injurious affection may be made immediately after the improvement line has been prescribed, whereas the local authority may not purchase the strip of land between the improvement line and the street until a later date. |
| LORD ARNOLD | Surely nothing can be more injurious to the best interests of the country than that large masses of the people should come to feel that the law 1044 is not being impartially administered as between one class and another? |
| LORD ARNOLD | Quite apart from other considerations, I honestly believe that the introduction of this tax would, in a certain way, be be injurious to the national credit. |
| LORD ARNOLD | I believe that the introduction of this tax would in certain senses be injurious to the national credit. |
| LORD ARNOLD | You may ask, why will it be injurious to the national credit? |
| THE EARL OF OXFORD AND ASQUITH | I see that one of the most distinguished orators in the Party opposite, who does not agree with the policy of His Majesty's Government in this matter, said the other day that it would be not only injurious to the country but ruinous to the Conservative Party—an interesting collocation of ideas and also an interesting graduation of values. |
| THE EARL OF OXFORD AND ASQUITH | To some people it would he enough that it was injurious to the country, but apparently it is also going to be ruinous to the Conservative Party. |
| THE EARL OF BIRKENHEAD | I can only make it plain and say that if our proposals are so injurious as they have contended, if the noble Lord is right—and I think he was on much safer ground when he prophetically dealt with the future—that we shall be found out, that it will be found how wrong, how foolish and how short-sighted they are, then consider the enormous electioneering advantage with which we have gratuitously armed the noble Lords. |
| LORD ARNOLD | It really is a question of the balance of argument—balancing one con sideration against another—but in my view the balance of argument finally points to the view that this step has been precipitate, and is likely to have injurious consequences. |
| LORD ARNOLD | It may be that the relapse to some extent of the sterling exchange of America again would be less injurious to this country and to its industrial position to-day, than the consequences which are likely to follow from this step of the Government. |
| LORD BANBURY OF SOUTHAM | A Bill for the particular benefit of certain persons may be injurious to others"— that is exactly what I say this Bill may be— "and to discriminate between the conflicting interests of different parties involves the exercise of judicial inquiry and determination.… In passing Private Bills, Parliament still exercises its legislative functions, but its proceedings partake also of a judicial character." And if you read a little further on you will find, in the list of Bills which are given on page 676 as being Bills which should be Private Bills, Electricity Supply and Gas Work. |
| LORD ARNOLD | I submit that it is becoming increasingly evident that the Labour Party was right when it warned Parliament and the country of the injurious consequences which would follow a return to the gold standard and, in particular, the long preparations for that return. |
| LORD ARNOLD | On a previous occasion I showed to your Lordships that these preparations were bound to be injurious to the export trade. |
| LORD HUNSDON OF HUNSDON | As that is the point to which I should like to call your Lordships' attention, and as Mr. Churchill's language is very much better than any I can employ and of course he speaks with much greater authority, I would ask to be allowed to quote one or two of his remarks, although it may not be strictly in order to do so:— "The burden of direct taxation falls with injurious effect upon the enterprise of the nation. |
