Topshop billionaire Sir Philip Green denies allegations of ‘unlawful sexual or racist behaviour’

Labour’s Lord Hain used parliamentary privilege to name Sir Philip as the “powerful businessman” alleged to have used non-disclosure agreements and payouts to conceal allegations about sexual harassment, racist abuse and bullying, which followed a Telegraph investigation.

In a statement tonight, he said he “categorically and wholly” denies the allegations.
