Owner Tried To Use BHS Money For Holiday
BHS owner Dominic Chappell tried to pay for family holiday flights on the company travel budget just four months before its collapse, according to new evidence given to MPs.
A letter submitted by the retailer's chief executive Darren Topp said Mr Chappell "saw no distinction between the company's money and his own personal money" and that he "saw them as one and the same".
It said Mr Chappell's Retail Acquisitions Limited (RAL) vehicle, which bought BHS for £1, had taken £17m out of the business and that this - together with its failure to raise finance for the business - was to blame for its eventual collapse.
Mr Topp's claims - made in a letter to an inquiry by two parliamentary committees - add to his sharp criticism of Mr Chappell in front of MPs earlier this month.
Mr Chappell giving evidence to MPs earlier this month
BHS was sold to the former bankrupt by billionaire retailer Sir Philip Green last year. It collapsed into administration in April. In June it was announced that the business was being wound down after administrators failed to find a buyer - leaving 11,000 jobs likely to be lost.
Mr Topp's evidence said that months earlier, in December 2015, Mr Chappell had "attempted to buy a set of family holiday flights on the company travel budget".
It added: "This was spotted by Darren Topp and stopped immediately much to the annoyance of Chappell."
The letter also said that Mr Chappell sought to take his December 2015 salary early, ahead of departing on his family holiday to the Bahamas, and that this payment had been allowed on the basis of "hardship".
Mr Chappell responded to the claims in a statement saying that he had made a request for BHS to put flights on the company account as "an issue of logistics" and that the money was to be repaid, adding: "There was no intent whatsoever to have the company pay for my private travel."
He said the early payment of his December salary was "suggested by the BHS management" before he went away for Christmas.
Mr Chappell added: "At no stage have I ever used the company bank account as a private account for myself and all and every payment except two went through the normal BHS process and system."
He described Mr Topp's claims as "absolutely childish" as well as "pathetic and petty".
The collapse of BHS is being investigated by the Business, Innovations and Skills committee and the Work and Pensions committee.
Frank Field, chair of the Work and Pensions committee, said: "We are still elucidating the full story of the final collapse of BHS, but it happened under Dominic Chappell and RAL's stewardship.
"They should also account fully and properly for their decisions and actions, some of which appear quite extraordinary."
The letter comes as the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) - the "lifeboat" for failed retirement schemes - confirmed that it had appointed a second set of administrators, FRP, to oversee a winding down of BHS. Administrators at Duff & Phelps are currently overseeing the process.
It follows a Sky News report that the PPF had requested the move amid concerns about the complex web of ties connecting the company's former owners. The BHS pension deficit is now thought to be more than £600m.
Malcolm Weir, head of restructuring at the PPF, said: "This is an unusual step, but one we regard as appropriate given the circumstances of this administration."

UK Votes To Leave EU In Historic Referendum
08:05, UK, Friday 24 June 2016
The UK has voted to leave the European Union in the historic referendum.
The Out campaign passed the winning post with a lead of more than one million votes - a margin of 51.9% to 48.1%.
The pound plummeted to a 31-year low as the market responded to the prospect of the UK splitting from Brussels after 43 years.
The Bank of England said it was monitoring the situation and would take "all necessary steps" to ensure financial stability.
Video: UK Votes Out: What Happens Next?
The result calls into question the future of the Prime Minister, who campaigned for In after calling the referendum.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage was the first party leader to speak following the result and said "we now need a Brexit government".
:: Live: Results And Reaction As UK Votes Out
However, more than 80 pro-Brexit Tory MPs, including Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, have signed a letter backing Mr Cameron to stay in Downing Street to negotiate our departure.
Video: Farage Declares 'Independence Day'
The Prime Minister is due to give a statement at 8.15am - with Out figurehead Mr Johnson not expected to speak until after that.
Labour has said Mr Cameron should "seriously consider his position".
The result could have huge implications for the UK , with Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon already raising the prospect of a second independence referendum after all 32 local authorities north of the border voted for Remain.
Sinn Fein sources also said Brexit should lead to a poll on Irish unity, after Northern Ireland voted by 56% to 44% to Remain.

Painkiller That Killed Prince On The Rise In US
The drug that pop star Prince died from after an accidental overdose is at the centre of an emerging epidemic in America.
Fentanyl is up to 100 times more powerful than morphine, and 50 times more potent than heroin.
It has been used in hospitals for decades in the form of skin patches and lozenges to relieve extreme pain.
But now an illegal version is on the streets, and just a few grains of the white powder can kill a user before they've even finished injecting it.
Drug Enforcement Administration spokesperson Rusty Payne has told Sky News that fentanyl has become a particular problem in the last 18 months because illegal labs in China have worked out how to make it in large quantities.
Mexican cartels then buy it wholesale, and push it on the streets in America through their existing opiate trafficking networks.
For that reason, a lot of fentanyl is found in places with existing heroin problems, particularly in northern states like Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania.
It is also turning up in places like Ohio, Florida and Kentucky.
Mr Payne said: "We are seeing huge fentanyl seizures all over the North East, more than we've ever seen before, and a lot of times replacing heroin.
"You can stretch the fentanyl product much, much further than heroin.
"You could take a kilo of fentanyl and turn it in to 25 kilograms and make close to a million dollars, whereas with heroin you could make one or two hundred thousand dollars per kilo, when broken down and packaged.
"Fentanyl is a major problem, we would say that it's an epidemic, as is the entire opioid epidemic which includes heroin, prescription drugs and fentanyl."
An up-to-date national picture of the effects of fentanyl isn't really available because many hospitals and labs across America don't routinely test for it.
The latest country-wide figures from The Centers For Disease Control (CDC) are from two years ago.
The CDC reports that of all known cases in 2014, approximately 5,500 people died of overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids (including fentanyl) other than methodone.
That's an increase of 80% on the year before.
But in the New Hampshire state police crime lab they track fentanyl on a daily basis.
Often mixed in with heroin, it turns up in around half of the 750 monthly drug samples that get delivered there.
In 2015 alone, more than two thirds of all overdose deaths were fentanyl related.
Lab director Tim Pifer showed Sky News a few grains of white powder in a vial.
"That's enough fentanyl to kill you", he said.
"It's so dangerous because visually there's no difference between a heroin sample or a fentanyl sample.
"So the street dealers don't know what they're selling, the users don't know what they're really injecting in to themselves, even our undercover narcotics officers do not know what they're purchasing.
"These individuals who have addictions are literally playing with a loaded gun every time they put the needle in their arm."
Many people first take fentanyl without knowing it because the cheaper substance is often mixed with other drugs to increase profits for dealers.
But some who get hooked on the rapid, short-lived high actually seek it out.
That's what is happening with some addicts in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
The old mill town outside Boston has long been used as a hub for dealers and traffickers, and now fentanyl is compounding the crisis there.
Under the Casey Bridge a community of homeless people describe how they have struggled with it.
Mike and Brittany are expecting a baby in six weeks.
Former drug dealer Mike said: "All I've known my whole life is selling drugs and robbing people.
"It's (fentanyl) taking everything over, people are dying from it and it's so easy to make, it's so easy, cheap, moves quick, makes a lot of money, it's heaven for the dealers but it's hell for the users."
Kristen, who is struggling to recover from a fentanyl addiction, said: "You don't feel anything, you don't feel the pain of your past you don't feel any pain of the present, it consumes you.
"I've lost many friends, family members to fentanyl because of how it takes you, grips you, you know you end up losing everything."
Opioid addiction treatment nurse Ilia Castellanos said the fentanyl problem in Lawrence has become particularly bad in the past few months, but that it was not just an issue for homeless people.
She said: "These are mothers, teachers, social workers, nurses, the epidemic is touching everyone."
The Day Break homeless shelter in Lawrence is one of the last remaining 'wet' shelters in the state, meaning it admits people who are high or drunk.
Deputy manager Greg Davenport described fentanyl as just another harmful drug doing damage to an already vulnerable population that needs more support.
He said: "It gets to a point where it's not even so much as 'I want to feel good', it's that 'I don't want to be sick', and that's the sad part, because they're using against their own will at that point.
"I don't even know if everyone realises that."

House Democrats Stage Sit-In For Gun Control
Democrats have staged a highly unusual sit-in on the floor of the US House of Representatives to demand action on gun control.
The lawmakers occupied the podium area, refusing to leave until they secured a vote, as Republicans cut off cameras broadcasting the protest.
The protest has gone on late into the night, with the politicians shouting and chanting over Speaker Paul Ryan as he gavelled the House into session and tried to bring order.
Last week's shooting by an Islamic State sympathiser in Florida has reinvigorated calls for gun control in the US - and Democrats held photos of gun victims, along with their names, as they staged their sit-in.
'Where is our courage?' said Rep Lewis (centre)
Although the cameras in the House have been shut off, not-for-profit cable network C-SPAN has remained on the air by broadcasting live Periscope and Facebook feeds from the lawmakers demanding a vote.
Nearly 100 Democrats have been staging the demonstration led by Georgia Representative John Lewis, a veteran civil rights leader.
Video: Orlando Gunman Transcripts Released
"We have lost hundreds and thousands of innocent people to gun violence," said 76-year-old Mr Lewis.
"What has this body done? Nothing. We have turned a deaf ear to the blood of innocents.
"We are blind to a crisis. Where is our courage? How many more mothers and fathers need to shed tears of grief?"
Democrats accused Republicans of political cowardice and demanded Speaker Ryan keep the chamber in session through recess next week to vote on firearms legislation.

Teens 'Order Fast Food Deliveries At School'
Thursday 23 June 2016
Obesity campaigners are calling for new restrictions on fast food outlets after a survey revealed that one in four teenagers have ordered a takeaway to be delivered to their playground at school.
The Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH), which polled a small number of 13 to 18-year-olds for their perspective on childhood obesity, has warned further "hard-hitting measures" are needed to tackle the epidemic.
Their research suggests the majority of young people feel misled by the nutritional information displayed on food packaging, and want clear explanations on labels to help them make better dietary decisions.
Most believe labels should detail how many teaspoons of sugar are in soft drinks, as this is a more understandable measurement than grams.
Other proposals backed by those surveyed was a loyalty card to reward healthy food choices, or a simpler way of categorising food that is high in sugar, fat and salt - not dissimilar to the way films are certified as 12, 15 or 18.
Video: World Getting Fatter... And Fatter
Shirley Cramer, the chief executive of RSPH, said: "Our childhood obesity rates are disappointing, and tackling this must be a priority for government - there can be no excuses for fudging action on what is our number one public health challenge.
"While we welcome the Government's introduction of a sugar levy on soft drinks, it is absolutely critical that the forthcoming childhood obesity strategy builds on this positive step with a basket of hard-hitting measures, from greater controls on advertising and marketing of junk food to food reformulation."
Professor Neena Modi, president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, described the quantity of children who order fast food at school as a "great cause for concern" - and said schools must be part of the solution.

She added: "It is now well recognised and extremely worrying that UK children leave school more overweight than when they start.
"As child health professionals treating children with obesity-related conditions we urge government to note that young people themselves are asking for help."
The RSPH's report comes ahead of the Government's childhood obesity strategy, which is due to be published later in the summer.
