Mohsin Issa is told that Asda's responses to a committee's questions are to the 'detriment' of the company's brand.

The chair of a committee of MPs has accused Asda's co-owner of"wasting" its time following a tempestuous evidence session over the supermarket chain's fuel prices and employment practices.

"I'm just very sorry that we've spent an hour going round in circles and you've not been complying with the questions from this committee. It had declared that drivers had been overcharged by the supermarket sector as a whole in the wake of a margin shift by Asda. He refused to separate the fuel business from the wider Asda empire, despite MPs declaring that drivers had paid an unfair premium to fill up.

The GMB, in May, claimed 7,000 workers had been threatened with the measure as part of discussions with the company over night shift payments that will see a premium payment removed, taking pay in to line across Asda.
