Ashley will face MPs if they visit Sports Direct first

Sports Direct founder Mike Ashley has agreed to face British lawmakers' questions in parliament about the treatment of workers at his sportswear retailer, but only if they visit his headquarters first, a parliamentary committee said on Tuesday. In March, Parliament's Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) Committee formally summoned Ashley to appear before it on June 7. Ashley, however, refused to attend, saying the proposal was an abuse of parliamentary process.
