This page lists every recorded use of the words injurious and injuriously in parliamentary debate during 1937. 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.

| LORD MAUGHAM | But suppose the exceptional case where the guilty party has not gone off with another person; still, how can you then have to answer the question whether the grounds of the decree would be more injurious to the interests of any children of the marriage than its refusal? |
| THE EARL OF MUNSTER | The proposal which was put forward by the Home Secretary for this reduction was not so much on the ground of protection of health, for we have no evidence whatever to show that a maximum of forty-eight hours per week would be really injurious to the health of young persons, but merely on the ground of providing greater opportunities of education and physical recreation. |
| THE EARL OF MUNSTER | Secondly, it has to be shown that the general increase in the number of hours will not be likely to be injurious to the health of the young persons employed. |
| LORD ARNOLD | The psychological effect—to use an overworked expression—is bound to be injurious, and psychological effects are of very great importance in all diplomatic exchanges and international negotiations. |
| LORD SNELL | I can well believe that the intention of the writer was to contrast the position of members of your Lordships' House with that of members in another place doing similar work, but the suggestion that we are canvassing members of the House of Commons in order to 532 secure for us financial benefits is definitely untrue and injurious to us as members of your Lordships' House. |
