The Business, Innovation and Skills Committee are to launch an inquiry into Britain’s retail industry. The inquiry comes after the collapse of a number of major high street retailers in the past few months.
The Committee will examine the Government’s support for the industry – in particular its response to the Portas Review.

Councils have been criticised for sitting on the money rather than using it to deal with the crisis.
The Committee will also explore the “impact of on-line sales and direct sales on high street retailers”.
