I make sleepers in Canada with 100% Cotton French fabric which retail at $40 my neighbour makes them in China his retail $25. I pay 4 Euro/M & $18/hr. His fabric cost is about 1 Euro. White Collar middle class buy China. The blue-collar workers buy Canadian. The consumer is the problem & HYPOCRITES

he dropping of three Indian Suppliers may not hit the beleagured firm. But is Primark acting ethically in this whole ethical episode by taking away the livelihood of hundreds of innocent workers through this one act of theirs? Dropping of hats will not resolve the problem, right?

Now i feel sorry for the indian people, i have visited and seen the slums in india, and the people are happy for the work in able to survive. Primark should NOT have run and dumped the suppliers, they should have workked with them. now Primark has taken the food out of the poor childrens mouth.

What will become of those children and families now without that income? Where people live in extreme poverty it may be necessary for children to contribute to the family income. I think the welfare of the children should be monitored, working hours limited and an education provided by the employer.

At least India is a democracy and PRIMARK clothes are cheap...Marks and spencersuses china for almost all its clothing and bottles shampoo,allsorts..well you cant even film there...i have heard of TIBETAN PRISONERS forced to make goods in terrible conditions.. i am not saying in M and S outlets

All the big companies are playing the game, like Primark didn't know. "Ethics, of course I understand ethics, even a twelve year old child knows about ethics. Quick someone go out and find me a twelve year old child."

Primark cannot think that by removing buisness from these factories that the issues are solved, obviously complex supply chains must be a result of lack of knowledge or accountabilty by primark themselves. All products should be made to the labour laws of the country supplying them at the very least

India is definitely one of the fast developing countries. But still a long way to go. Not employing child labour may make some families to starve. It could be a good idea to insist that such children should be provided with basic needs like education and time to play. We helped some to do that. Thx.

K.S. Rajamani, Chennai, India

Why not demand that India end child labor? It's now a wealthy nation, and as such should be shamed into abandoning it's exploitative cultural practices.

Isn't ironic that the same family also owns Selfridges and Fortum and Mason.

Caroline , London,

Agreed. I've heard about this kind of thing before. If other companies were mentioned in the doc, they might have put pressure on Channel 4 and threatened to stop placing ads. It shows a complete lack of bottle by Channel 4. They should trust the journalists or not have made it at all.

Graham, Bath, UK

What happened to that program that Channel 4 made a few weeks ago called "the devil wears primark"....was this anything to do with Primark publisising the issue? - the show was mysteriously not shown despite a huge advertising campagne on channel four about it.
