Yesterday, in the House of Lords, Welfare Reform Minister Lord Freud criticised the way the media have covered the issue of the welfare system.
"I have already expressed my concern about the fear factor, which I find very disturbing. I also acknowledge that the press in this country sometimes writes articles that none of us in this room find appropriate. I certainly do not find them appropriate and my colleagues in the department find them deeply disturbing.
"We do not control the press, regrettably, and things are written that we do not like to see. However, I am pleased to put on the record where we stand," he said.
