Live reaction to Sports Direct boss Mike Ashley's appearance before MPs.
Mike Ashley has said a fine of 15-minutes' pay for every minute employees were late on a shift is "not fair".
He said the practice had changed but confirmed workers were still not paid for working past their allotted hours.
Mike Ashley says @sportsdirectuk used to fine staff 15 minutes pay for every 1 minute they were late. "That's not fair" says Ashley.
Mike Ashley says suggestion workers were publicly humiliated over tannoy system for not working hard enough is "bit of a myth".
Hang on now he says "it must have happened". I think he's saying it's not @sportsdirectuk policy to use tannoy system to humiliate staff
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.
