Primark make $9m pay-out over disaster

Primark is to begin paying nine million US dollars in long-term compensation to victims of the Rana Plaza factory collapse that killed more than 1,100 people in Bangladesh last April.

The high street clothing chain will make the payments to 580 workers or their families from the Primark supplier New Wave Bottoms who died or were injured as a result of the Rana Plaza building collapse. The firm occupied the second floor of the eight storey building.
