HC Deb 23 February 1931 vol 248 c1770
83. Mr. WILLIAM HENDERSON

asked the Home Secretary how many persons have been prosecuted and convicted, respectively, during the last five years, for public utterances calculated to incite breaches of the peace?

Mr. SHORT

There are no figures available. If my hon. Friend will write explaining more fully what information he desires, my right hon. Friend will see whether it can be supplied?

Mr. HENDERSON

Does the hon. Member propose to take any action arising out of a public utterance of this character by the ex-Lord Chancellor?

Mr. SHORT

That is a question which should be addressed to the Attorney-General.
