Live reaction to Sports Direct boss Mike Ashley's appearance before MPs.
Mike Ashley has told MPs that HM Revenue and Customs is investigating Sports Direct over its failure to pay a national minimum wage.
ITV News Business Editor Joel Hills tweeted:
Ashley confirms that @sportsdirectuk is being investigated by @hmrcgovuk over failure to pay national minimum wage.
Allegations of bad working conditions at Sports Direct's main warehouse are appalling - but Mike Ashley appeared to have little oversight.
The tycoon told MPs things had happened at the retail giant that "shouldn't happen" after conditions were likened to a "labour camp".
The billionaire is set to answer questions later this morning over working conditions at his Shirebrook warehouse.
