Mr Cooper Rawson
, Brighton
(by Private Notice) asked the Prime Minister whether he will provide special facilities for the passing through all its stages of the necessary Bill, which is already prepared, for the re-opening of the Brighton Diamond Works, in view of the fact that the Bill is believed to be unopposed, and that if it is not passed this Session hundreds of men who have been specially trained for this work will continue to receive the dole for a further five or six months instead of becoming engaged almost at once on productive work.
