This page lists every recorded use of the words injurious and injuriously in parliamentary debate during 1982. 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 |
|---|---|
| Mr. Macfarlane | 44, in page 20, line 40, leave out "prejudicial to' and insert '"injurious, or likely to cause injury, to the public'. |
| Mr. Macfarlane | The amendment therefore changes the term "prejudicial" to health to "injurious, or likely to cause injury," to the public. |
| Sir Nicholas Bonsor | Southwell and Philips allege that to give the Council and Committee of Lloyd's the same degree of duty under the law and the same degree of responsibility under the law as everyone else enjoys would be injurious to the interests of Lloyd's as a community in three ways. |
| Sir Nicholas Bonsor | I ask the House to consider what would be more injurious to the reputation of Lloyd's—if someone, feeling grievously wronged by the actions of the Committee and the Council, were to say so vocally in the community of Lloyd's, which is itself something of a hotbed of rumour, as most City and similar institutions are and if he were to grouse and complain in the international community that he has been wronged but has had no remedy, or if someone alleges that he has been wronged, takes Lloyd's to court and it is found that Lloyd's has committed no wrong? |
| Mr. Bill Walker (Perth and East Perthshire) | [That this House notes with concern the latest study issued by the Surgeon General of the United States of America which states that 129, 000 Americans are likely to die of cancer in the coming year because they smoke, that this disease accounts for one in four cancer deaths and that the study claims that there is no single action that an individual can take to reduce the risk of cancer more effectively than quitting smoking; and therefore urges Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer to take this information into consideration when forming his proposals for the Budget.] [That this House considers that the agreement between the Government and the tobacco industry to restrict cigarette advertising has not done enough to reduce the smoking of cigarettes which are widely recognised to be injurious to health; and condemns the decision of the Secretary of State for Social Services to negotiate for a renewal of this agreement instead of introducing legislation to prohibit all advertisements for cigarettes.] Both of them concern cigarette smoking and have implications for the job prospects of those in Glasgow who have been put out of work by the cigarette factory because of the substantial reduction in demand. |
| Mr. Hal Miller (Bromsgrove and Redditch) | If pursued to the extreme it might be highly injurious to Britain's interests. |
| Mr. Spearing | It is the custom of the House to allow through a Ten-Minute Bill unless it appears, in principle or practice, to be injurious. |
| The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Mrs. Peggy Fenner) | On the health side, these include selling for human consumption any food to which substances have been added or abstracted or which has been so processed as to render it injurious to health, and selling any food intended but unfit for human consumption. |
| Mr. Barry Jones (Flint, East) | If it does—as is likely—it will have injurious consequences for all those in the regions who seek a decline in mass unemployment and an increase in inward investment and regional development incentives. |
| Mrs. Fenner | For instance, it is an offence to sell for human consumption any food to which substances have been added or from which substances have been abstracted or which has been processed so as to render it injurious to health, and to sell food intended, but unfit, for human consumption. |
| Mr. Anthony Nelson(Chichester) | I am not saying that it will necessarily result in fraud, which my right hon. Friend the Minister of State has sought to overcome, but it will have the effect of being injurious to the established metal market dealers in London, and those who deal in coins. |
| Mr. Nelson | I fear that it may have an injurious effect on the London coin market. |
| Mr. T. W. Urwin (Houghton-le-Spring) | Has he taken into account the injurious effects on social services that are operated by local government as a result of this further devastating cut in local government funding? |
| Dr. M. S. Miller (East Kilbride) | If Israel was not there, they would be free to engage in other activities that might be injurious to us. |
| Sir John Biggs-Davison | Those of us who have expressed a view, which is contrary to that of my right hon. Friend, as to how that should be done believe that the Bill, as it stands, is injurious to the reassurance of the people of Northern Ireland that their position is secure. |
| Mr. Hawkins | : My right hon. Friend says that farming is made up of small businesses, but does he not agree that the increase in the number of huge farms has been injurious to village life? |
| Mr. Russell Johnston (Inverness) | : Given that the last full trade statistics were published in 1978, can the Secretary of State confirm that an embargo, taking total proportions of trade, would still be about 10 times more injurious to the Argentine than to us? |
| Mr. Mark Lennox—Boyd (Morecambe and Lonsdale) | It is sometimes said—I expect that it will be said in Committee—that it would be inappropriate to give such an undertaking, as the law of the land does not require any person who constructs a major work or building to compensate someone who is injuriously affected in circumstances such as this, so why should the London Transport Executive do so? |
| Mr. Mark Lennox—Boyd (Morecambe and Lonsdale) | There should be a provision in law to give people compensation when they are injuriously affected by building works that take place on their doorsteps. |
| Mr. Mark Lennox—Boyd (Morecambe and Lonsdale) | While the Bill, being special and of limited and specialist concern, would not be the appropriate vehicle to provide redress to people who are injuriously affected generally, it is one that the London Transport Executive must see passed before it can commence work. |
| Mr. Reg Race (Wood Green) | The only point of substance about which I am worried is the way in which my constituents are injuriously affected by the proposed works. |
| Mr. Reg Race (Wood Green) | We are dealing with one shopkeeper and one chain of shopkeepers who are injuriously affected. |
| Mr. Albert Booth (Barrow-in Furness) | In a leading case on the subject of compensation, which arose out of similar circumstances—Argyle Motors v Birkenhead Corporation—Lord Dilhorne said: "It may well be that the execution of authorised works has inflicted a loss on the appellants which far exceeds the amount of compensation obtainable by them for injurious affection to their interest in the land on which they conduct their business. |
| Sir John Biggs-Davison | It is known that I am not in sympathy with the Bill, which tends to differentiate between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom and is therefore injurious both to Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom as a whole. |
| Mr. J. Enoch Powell | : I understood the hon. Gentleman to say earlier that an Assembly could not avoid in practice behaving in a way in regard to the Royal Ulster Constabulary which he regarded as injurious. |
