Harrods has said more than 250 people are part of its process to settle compensation claims over alleged historic sexual misconduct by Mohamed Al Fayed.
The London department store said it had "settled a number of claims with women" made against its former owner since last year. It added that since the airing of a BBC documentary last month, there were more than 250 individuals "now in the Harrods process to settle claims directly with the business".
"Since the airing of the documentary, so far there are over 250-plus individuals who are now in the Harrods' process to settle claims directly with the business." Earlier this month, the group Justice For Harrods Survivors said the number of women "feeling safe to come forward" was "increasing on a daily basis".
