Watch: Issa brother fails to answer MPs question 14 times over fuel profits
Asda co-owner Mohsin Issa dodged questions from MPs a whopping 14 times during his “extraordinary” appearance before the business and trade committee.
"I'm just very sorry that we've spent an hour going round in circles and you've not been complying with the questions from this committee."It's not in order and I think actually you've suffered to the detriment for the brand of Asda to your customers and your suppliers." The CMA found that Asda's pence per litre fuel margin targets were three times their 2019 level by 2023. Mr Issa responded several times that its pricing strategy had not changed under his ownership and that Asda was still a “price leader on fuel”.
But, Mr Issa's inability to answer the 'yes or no' questions directly left MPs frustrated. In a clip, Mr Issa can be seen dodging questions 14 times.
