'Put disabled children down' Cornwall councillor sorry
'Put disabled children down' Cornwall councillor sorry
A councillor has apologised for telling a disability charity "Disabled children cost the council too much money and should be put down".
Colin Brewer, 68, an independent member of Cornwall Council, made the comments to a Disability Cornwall member at a stall at County Hall in Truro in 2011.
The charity complained and the authority's Standards Committee has reported its findings.
Councillor Brewer said he had been trying to "provoke a reaction".
