PM ordered Lord Freud to apologise for remarks on disabled people’s pay

Guardian, 16-Oct-2014

David Freud is right - employers will not offer jobs to less productive people if they can get a non-disabled person for the same minimum wage.

The Tory and Labour parties, in a contest of political correctness, are ignoring economics and reducing the employment chances of disabled people.
