Primark In Coventry

Primark is one of two high street retailers (the other is Mothercare) who have launched inquiries into allegations by The Guardian that factory workers who make their clothes in India are being paid as little as 13p per hour for a 48-hour week.

John Hilary from War on Want, said: "Exploitation of workers in developing countries such as India is standard practice for British retailers right across the spectrum. This just underlines the urgent need for Gordon Brown to step in now and stop these abuses once and for all."
