Brown: Remploy closures 'madness'

FORMER prime minister Gordon Brown has said it would be economic madness to let two factories employing disabled workers close.

Mr Brown has been spearheading a campaign to keep open the two Remploy factories in Fife with fellow Labour MP Lindsay Roy and local councillor David Ross. They put forward a business plan at a meeting with Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith and Scottish Enterprise Minister Fergus Ewing yesterday.
