Sir Philip Green to appear before MPs over BHS collapse

The former owner of BHS will appear before MPs on Wednesday.

Sir Philip Green has confirmed that he will appear before MPs, who are currently investigating the high street chain's collapse.

The Topshop billionaire had previously said he wouldn't attend the Commons inquiry unless its chairman, MP Frank Field, resigned from the investigation.

However, on Tuesday he said: "This will be the first and only opportunity I have had to tell my side of the very sad BHS story and I will do my best to answer all the questions put to me in an honest and open way."
