LONDON - Britain's Home Secretary Priti Patel has written to Boohoo chief executive John Lyttle saying that she expects the company to work with suppliers to ensure workers are “protected and remediated”.
The fast fashion retailer recently appointed Alison Levitt QC to investigate claims that garment workers in Leicester were paid as little as £3.50 per hour and that factory conditions contributed to a coronavirus spike in the city.
Boohoo, which said it was "shocked and appalled" by the allegations, has so far terminated contracts with at least two factories over “non-compliance” with its code of conduct.
