DAMAGED GOODS
The Inside Story of Sir Philip Green, the Collapse of BHS and the Death of the High Street
6 DREAMS COME TRUE Before this book went to print Greens lawyers wrote to - photo 1
6. DREAMS COME TRUE

Before this book went to print, Greens lawyers wrote to reiterate that he was awarded his honour for services to the retail industry, not for his charitable work, that he had never desired an honour of any kind, and that the decision to knight him was made independently by the honours and appointments secretariat at the Cabinet Office. In fairness, many of his retail achievements had long pre-dated the cash-for-honours scandal of 2006 and 2007, and Green was not implicated in it.
