The Chief Executive of M&S Marc Bolland is being paid £2.1 million this year.

Last year, his company refused to consider paying a Living Wage – £9.15 an hour in London and £7.85 in the rest of the UK – at its Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Later, at a meeting with campaigners, the company again refused to consider paying the Living Wage.
