H&M, the world’s largest fashion retailer, is in hot water after it was today named and shamed by the Government for not paying at least the minimum wage to hundreds of its UK workers.

The Swedish company is one of 37 caught and fined by HM Revenue & Customs for breaking the law by failing to pay workers, who were owed a total of more than £177,000.

At H&M, 540 workers were underpaid by £2,605 in total, although the company insisted this was due to a computer error and all staff have since been reimbursed.
