motion: <p class="" pid="c.179.2/1" pwmotiontext="yes">I beg to move,</p>
  
  <p class="" pid="c.179.2/2" pwmotiontext="yes">That this House notes the comments of the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Welfare Reform, Lord Freud, on <phrase class="date" code="2014-09-30">30 September 2014</phrase> that the work of disabled people is not worth the minimum wage; believes that these comments have further undermined trust among disabled people in this Government&#8217;s policies, a trust which had already been damaged by delays in assessments for a personal independence payment, problems with work capability assessments, and the poor performance of policies aimed at helping disabled people into work; further notes that the conduct of Lord Freud had already damaged that trust through his oversight of the housing benefit social sector size criteria which has had a particularly severe impact on disabled people, many of whom have nowhere else to move to and need extra room for medical equipment or carers; and therefore concludes that this House has no confidence in the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Welfare Reform; and calls on the Prime Minister to dismiss him.</p>
