HC Deb 25 April 1923 vol 163 c490W
Mr. BECKER

asked the Minister of Labour when the ex-service men who received instruction in diamond-cutting and are now unemployed will be put to remunerative work again?

Sir M. BARLOW

The men in question are unemployed because the National Diamond Factories (Bernard Oppenheimer), Limited, have gone into liquidation. I am in communication with another firm as to the conditions under which the Government could give them financial assistance with a view to their re-opening the workshops.
