Kate Green MP, Shadow Minister for Disabled People, commenting on another senior Tory calling for disabled people to be paid less than the minimum wage said:

“Yet another senior Tory has joined Lord Freud in attacking disabled people and disability charities, supporting his suggestion that some disabled people are worth less than the minimum wage.

"It is David Cameron who is living in cloud cuckoo land if he thinks Lord Freud should still be in his job.  

"It is disgraceful that these views continue to go unchallenged in the Conservative Party. When is the Prime Minister going to take action?

"The mask is slipping from David Cameron’s Conservatives. The nasty party is back.”
