Explanatory Note.
(Thit Note is not part of the regulations, bur is intended to indicate their general purport)
These Emergency Regulations are intended to enable Government. where necessary, to take effctive action against vocal incitements to violence and law-breaking, attempts to spread disaffection and to under mine the loyalty of the Police and the Public Service, and to stir up ill-will in the community. The regulations are concerned solely with what they call "inflammatory specch". But this collective term embracea all these forms of incitement and trouble-making.
1. If suppression of this form of incitement is to be effective It is necessary to confer wide powers on the Police to take action to search for and soize the equipment such as loudspeakers used for this purpose. The regulations will permit the Courts to rule on whether or not any speech was an "inflammatory speech" in the event of prosecutions being instituted.
3. The regulations impose criminal liability on all who are COM/ cerned with these incitements even in a passive or permissive manner. But this liability is not absolute in all cases, and where appropriate it is provided that it is a good defence for a person charged to show that he had taken all reasonable steps to prevent the commission of the offence.
