KING’S INSPECTION
armaments factory. [ British Official Wireless. ] Received Feb. 11, 5.5 p.m. RUGBY, Feb. 10. His Majesty the King to-day visited a factory on the outskirts of London, in Surrey, engaged in the manufacture of aircraft and armaments. His Majesty spent over an hour on a tour of inspection and was particularly impressed with the powered gun turret, one of which he saw fitted to an Army tank. It is understood that the Opposition is asking the Government for a day in the House of Commons for a discussion on the question of national defence as a whole before the Service Estimates are discussed individually, and also for a separate day for a discussion of the air raids precautions.
