This page lists every recorded use of the words injurious and injuriously in parliamentary debate during 1936. 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 |
|---|---|
| VISCOUNT HALIFAX | Therefore, while as I have said I go the whole way in feeling with my noble friend who moved the Motion, I should hesitate to say that I quite subscribe to the doctrine that agricultural interests as a whole had been, or were being, injuriously affected. |
| THE EARL OF LISTOWEL | I do not say that work in the home is in itself necessarily very injurious to a mother, assuming she has children or a husband who can do the harder manual jobs, but one has to remember that in the working-class home there is a strong, if not an overwhelming, temptation for the mother to rise from her bed of sickness before her time. |
| THE EARL OF PLYMOUTH | There is in this country an Act of Parliament of 1925 which gives local authorities very wide powers of interfering where advertisements are exhibited so as injuriously to affect rural scenery and amenities of various kinds; but nobody can claim that an Act of that kind is an interference with personal rights and property in the sense in which we think about them in this connection, and certainly the Ordinance which is in question in Malta is of general application and does not interfere with any rights of the noble Lord 991 in any other way than it affects the rights of other citizens. |
| LORD SNELL | Without the essential facts before us any such discussion would, of necessity, be unseal and might be injurious. |
