The BBC have picked up where Channel 4 pulled out with tomorrow’s Panorama programme. Channel 4 had scheduled “The Devil Wears Primark” to run on the 1st of June, but pulled the programme at the last minute. This Monday (23rd June), the BBC will be looking into Primark’s claims that they can produce cheap clothing without using cheap sweatshop labour. When the BBC presented the findings of it’s documentary “Primark on the rack” to Primark, the firm sacked three of its suppliers and set up a children’s foundation. So it seems that all may not have been as hunky-dory as Primark had claimed it was. Find out more by watching BBC 1 tomorrow night at 9pm.

To be sure that the clothes that you’re buying haven’t been made by exploiting the less fortunate, stick to Fairtrade whenever possible.
