Labour MP Darren Jones asks P&O' Ferries' Peter Hebblethwaite: “Are you just a shameless criminal?”
P&O Ferries boss Peter Hebblethwaite has admitted to MPs that a decision to sack 800 workers last week without consulting the unions broke the law.
He said there was "absolutely no doubt" that under UK employment law the firm was required to consult unions before making the mass cuts.
"We chose not to consult and we are, and will, compensate everybody in full for that," he said.
He said no union would have accepted P&O's job slashing plans.
