Didn't they introduce a "disability confidence" thing, that was meant to do just that? It's been around for a year or so?
Remploy were, to all intents and purposes, this exact same proposal. It was a state-funded initiative to give those with disabilities jobs. Although few people seem to have a problem with the idea of Remploy.
Generally, I am against all companies that hire only one type of worker, whether they be homeless, disabled, ethnic minority, etc. It'd be nice if the job was awarded on merit.
