http:// www.bbc .co.uk/ news/bu siness- 3789906 7
This is almost unbelievable.....an attempt to bug the 6 MPs, in a rather cack-handed way ! From the above link :::::
"A spokesman for Sports Direct declined to comment"
I bet he didn't !

Data protection does of course apply - and more so here if employees were not present - a fortiori as the lawyers might say
and to say as you have "OK data protection applied to employees doesnt apply to visiting MPs or clients or customers" is to .... misunderstand the law on this point - for example the Eight Principles apply to both
The MPs said it was debrief - and so I concluded that employess were present ( so er-er employment law comes back in) - otherwise the MPs would debrief themselves in private wouldnt they ? [ where they could control their envirnoment ]

Mikey,
// it will show all the breaches in the law that the Company has been guilty of. //
Just looked at the Wiki entry, and it does NOT list Sports Direct's guilt. It lists unproven allegations, for non of which it has been prosecuted.
// December 2015, an investigation by The Guardian found that the company fines staff for late clocking on, does not award overtime for late clocking off, relies on zero hour contracts, and regularly makes staff wait unpaid for a security check at the end of shifts. //
Fining lateness, and the rest, are not illegal and the company is operating lawfully.

Unusually I am 100% behind Gromit on this one.
Nothing annoys me more than MP's bleating about companies not acting morally. Pots - kettles ? And that is all it is, SD while clearly not being company of the year are not breaking laws just like companies that avoid tax. If the MP's really dont like it then they are in a position to change it so they would be best spending their time doing just that.

Gromit, and others...take another look at the Wiki entry ::
"In October 2015, the chief executive of Sports Direct, David Forsey, was charged with a criminal offence for consultation failures over USC staff who only had 15 minutes notice of redundancy"
and
"In August 2016, Sports Direct admitted breaking the law and will disburse unlawfully withheld wages totalling about £1m to the affected workers"

Bazile....most people in Britain were aware that Ashley had appeared before the Committee, and most would know that he had invited them to call.
It seems that while the Committee didn't see anything that terribly wrong, they were given the runaround by an angry Sports Direct management.
Eventually Sport Direct will have speak on this issue, and it will nice to see how they are going to explain themselves !

Jno,
I seem to remember that during 'Plebgate', Andrew Mitchell secretly recorded his meeting with West Midlands Police Federation, who promptly talked to the media afterwards and told a pack of lies. Mitchell's secret recording proved them to be a bunch of liars.
As I said first post, the MPs were on private property, and the MPs had consented to be recorded all day. The camera was placed so obviously that they MPs weren't duped, more like warned.
