BRITISH DEFENCE
HOUSE OF COMMONS DEBATE THIS WEEK WIDE RANGE OF SUBJECTS. LABOUR PARTY AMENDMENT. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, February 25. Various aspects of the Government’s defence plans will be debated in the House of Commons on three days next' week. On Monday the Defence Loans Bill will be discussed on the second reading and on the following days a wide range of subjects, including air raid shelter policy, evacuation, billeting and food supplies, will be reviewed in the debate on the supplementary items for civil defence and national service. The Labour Opposition on Monday will move a reasoned amendment which, while recognising the regrettable necessity for the unprecedented defence programme, invites the House to express the opinion that, in the interests of efficiency and public economy, the Bill ought to be preceded bv more effective measures for the coordination of the services, the organisation of supply and the elimination of excessive private profits.
