Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group to stop buying fur products

Policy change means group's stores will have no new fur products on shelves from next autumn

The owner of House of Fraser, Flannels and Sports Direct has said it will stop buying fur products with immediate effect after lobbying from the Humane Society.

Frasers Group said the change in policy meant it would no longer have new fur products on its shelves from next autumn. The company has not yet given a date from which consumers can be assured Frasers Group's stores will be free of fur, however.
