§ 49. Mr. LYNCHasked the Prime Minister whether it is with the advice of the War Cabinet that prosecutions are 739 now being carried out in Great Britain on the charge of weakening the confidence of the country in the Government?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI cannot answer this question because I do not understand to what it refers.
§ Mr. LYNCHHave there not been actual prosecutions based on the ground stated in the question, that the tendency of some writings and some speeches was to undermine the confidence of the country in the Government?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI do not think there has been any prosecution on that ground, nor do I think a prosecution upon that ground would lie.
