HC Deb 18 February 1919 vol 112 c767W
Mr. MacVEAGH

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he is aware that two volumes, entitled respectively the "Handbook for Rebels" and the "Grammar of Anarchy," are being seized by the police in all parts of Ireland and confiscated; whether these volumes consist entirely of extracts from speeches of Unionist politicians; and on what grounds and with what authority the volumes are seized?

Mr. SAMUELS

The volumes, as their titles proclaim, are intended to instigate rebellion and create anarchy. They are seditious publications and liable to seizure and confiscation under the Defence of the Realm regulations.
