STAFF at BHS are expected to all be out of work by August 20.

The retailer’s Poole branch had already received notice that it would be among 30 to shut on July 30.

But British Home Stores at Bournemouth’s Mallard Road Retail Park had not received a closure date.

It is thought to be among 114 where staff were told yesterday that their jobs would be going into redundancy consultation, with all stores to be closed by August 20.

Administrator Duff & Phelps has been unable to find a buye for the business as a going concern and will look to sell the stores piecemeal.

The news came on the day that a damning report into BHS's ownership under retail billionaire Sir Philip Green was released.

The tycoon was branded the "unacceptable face of capitalism" as a parliamentary inquiry found he systematically extracted huge sums from the collapsed store group while leaving its pension fund in deficit.

Sir Philip and his family pocketed £400million in dividends during his 15-year ownership of the company, with BHS's pension scheme nursing a £571 million deficit when it fell into administration.

In a hard-hitting joint report, two Commons select committees accused the entrepreneur of seeking to blame anyone but himself for the firm's failure and said he had a "moral duty" to make a "large financial contribution" to the 20,000 pensioners facing substantial cuts to their benefits.

While the committees were damning about Dominic Chappell, who bought BHS for £1 from the billionaire last year, and the "directors, advisers and hangers-on" associated with the deal, they said ultimate responsibility lay with Sir Philip.
