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?

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.
