HC Deb 23 September 1948 vol 456 c167W
139. Major Legge-Bourke

asked the Attorney-General whether he will take steps to prosecute under the Incitement to Disaffection Act, 1934, in all cases brought to his notice of persons who have been discovered conversing or addressing members of the Armed Forces in such a way as to foster discontent with terms of service and postings.

The Solicitor-General

Section 1 of the Incitement to Disaffection Act, 1934, makes it an offence for any person to endeavour maliciously and advisedly to seduce any member of His Majesty's Forces from his duty or allegiance, and if the necessary evidence is forthcoming of an offence against this Section appropriate action will be taken.
