Chair's comment
Rt Hon Frank Field MP said:
"The conclusions and recommendations of our Report - which was agreed unanimously, without division by ten Members drawn from two different select committees - were based on the huge amounts of evidence the committees received throughout the inquiry.
My own views were shaped by that evidence as well as the circumstances of those former BHS workers whose jobs have been lost and pensions put at risk. MPs are entitled to have views and to take those views with them into Parliament. That one of the country's top legal minds has been drawn in to defend Sir Philip's actions shows how Herculean that task is. But the House will draw its own conclusions later this week."
BHS debate
From around 11.30am on Thursday 20 October 2016 there will be a Backbench Business debate on BHS in the Chamber.
