A GOVERNMENT minister who went to Whitgift School has apologised for saying disabled workers are "not worth the full wage".
Lord David Freud, the welfare minister, made the comments during a fringe event at the Conservative conference last month.
Responding to a question from a Tory councillor, Lord Freud said: "You make a really good point about the disabled.
"Now I had not thought through, and we have not got a system for, you know, kind of going below the minimum wage.
"There is a group, and I know exactly who you mean, where actually as you say they're not worth the full wage."
He offered a "full and unreserved apology" today as Prime Minister David Cameron condemned his comments.
