Seven of the nine Remploy factories in Wales have been earmarked for closure after a UK government review.

The plans put 272 disabled workers in Wales at risk of redundancy.

Remploy is proposing to close 36 of its 54 factories across the UK, with potential compulsory redundancies of more than 1,700 disabled workers.

UK coalition ministers say "non-viable" Remploy factories should close with the money re-invested into other schemes to help disabled people find work.

"Other schemes" such as ATOS and ESA?
