HC Deb 29 January 1987 vol 109 cc343-4W
Mr. Stern

asked the Secretary of State for the Horne Department if he has any plans to seek to restrict the publication or sale of hooks teaching the techniques of street violence; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

It is an offence to solicit or incite another to commit a crime, whether or not the solicitation or incitement has any effect. A person who publishes a book inciting the use of violence against people in the streets is thus liable to be charged with a criminal offence. We have no plans to introduce any further form of restriction.
