It refered to the both as Artoo Deetoo and See Threepio....
I remember all the Star wars colectables I had and kept for years, It was alway promised they would be worth a fortune, but they never were, so one day the lot went into the dustbin to make space, then years later when they relesed Phantom menace, all the stuff I'd thrown into the bin was suddenly worth thousands! :-(

"...the company, which started running welfare-to-work schemes under New Labour and has flourished under the Coalition."
Repeat, FLOURISHED under the Coalition.
Also, don't forget that Call Me Dave personally appointed her as his Family Tsar AFTER concerns about her company's fraudulent activities had been raised, not to mention conflicts of interest in which "...she was recommending which firms should be used in the programme [to help 120,000 'problem families' into employment] while her own company was bidding for the work."
And I wouldn't worry if her company, A4e, goes belly-up and 3,500 more people join the dole queue - after all, the Department for Work and Pensions has already "...declared ministers had ‘no emotional attachment’ to A4e, because there were so many other firms willing to bid for its Work Programme contracts," so presumably one of those other companies will help them back into work in no time. I mean, they must be awfully good if they're getting all that money from the government, mustn't they?
