In September 2011 Labour Behind the Label published the report: Let's Clean up Fashion 2011: The state of pay behind the UK high Street.  The report examines to what extent workers in the supply chains of UK high street brands are being paid a living wage.  Labour Behind the Label singled out: Edinburgh Woollen Mill (owner of Jane Norman), Limited Brands (owner of La Senza), Paul Smith, Peacocks, Reiss, Republic, Superdry, Debenhams & Hobbs for not responding to the survey on which the report was based.
