Live updates: Mike Ashley admits Sports Direct mistakes
Live reaction to Sports Direct boss Mike Ashley's appearance before MPs.
Ashley: I can do a better job for my workers than unions
Sports Direct boss Mike Ashley has said it was hard to receive feedback from his workers - amid claims of mistreatment - as so few people would respond to questionnaires.
"For whatever reason people don't fill them in," he said.
Mr Ashley said he could "see value" in making the surveys compulsory but said he could do "a better job than Unite" in issues with workers.
ITV News Business Editor Joel Hills tweeted:
