Vicky Foxcroft MP for Lewisham Deptford & Shadow Minister for Disabled People
The Tories have failed to support disabled people into work.
The Access to Work backlog is still far too high and little progress has been made in tackling it.
The Disability Confident scheme is in need of urgent reform – the former Minister for Disabled People admitted as much when he told the Work and Pensions Select Committee it needed a ‘root and branch review’.
Only a Labour Government can bring about real change for disabled people by helping those who can work into work.
