Mr Iain Wright MP, who chairs the Committee, said that Sir Philip's “thin-skinned” approach might raise corporate governance issues, if his directors felt unable to raise issues about the sale of BHS. Project Thor is the plan Sir Philip drew up to address the BHS pension deficit about six months before the chain was sold. Sir Philip looked hurt at this and said: “I’ve never tried to run away.” But we never got any closer to those pension contributions. MP Richard Graham suggests Sir Philip sold BHS to get rid of the pension liability after Project Thor was unsuccessful.
