Scores of protesters are planning to gatecrash the grand opening of Primark in Tooting over allegations of unfair pay in overseas factories.

The protesters will gather at 9am on Saturday outside the shop in Mitcham Road to protest against what they say is not a living wage for overseas workers.

The demonstration is organised by fair trade fashion company People Tree and anti-poverty charity War on Want, which claim some workers have earned as little as 7p an hour.

Demands will include fair wages and humane conditions, as well as closer regulation from the British Government.

Primark was not available when we went to press, but in the past has denied the allegations, saying it was committed to the ethical treatment of suppliers.
