Result: Mk One forced to drop Burma clothing

Mk One [part of Baugur]...has withdrawn a range of clothes after The Observer told the firm that they were made in Burma, which is ruled by a military dictatorship...Dominic Galvin, MkOne's chief executive, said: 'Any supplier we deal with should not source from Burma. We were definitely not aware of this issue. I have launched a full investigation into the matter.'...More than 130 major clothing retailers, including M&S, Next, ASDA (part of Wal-Mart), H&M, Debenhams, House of Fraser and BHS, have policies not to source from that country.
