Kate Green MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Disabilities, on a report showing that most disabled ex-Remploy staff are unemployed, said:

“This report shows David Cameron’s Government has broken its promise to help former Remploy workers into jobs following the closure of the factories last year. It’s typical of a Government that has failed to give disabled people the support they need to find work and fulfil their potential.

“Just one in 20 disabled people have found a job thanks to the failed Work Programme while ministers have cut the number of specialist disability employment advisers in Jobcentres by 20 per cent.

“Labour is committed to delivering justice for former Remploy workers and disabled workers across the country by introducing a Work Support programme to give more disabled people the chance to find a job.”
