Sports Direct boss Mike Ashley has pulled out of a meeting with MPs about working conditions at the company because his lawyer is unavailable. In a fresh twist set to intensify his row with the Business, Innovations and Skills Committee (BIS), the Newcastle United owner said his legal representative was unavailable so he could not attend the session on June 7. The retail tycoon and Newcastle United boss had been hit with a summons from the committee in March after refusing previous invitations on the grounds that he would not stand idle while Sports Direct was subjected to public vilification.The committee has been seeking to question Ashley over working practices at his Shirebrook warehouse, including reports of poor working conditions and the use of controversial zero-hours contracts. In a rare interview, Newcastle owner Mike Ashley shares his thoughts on the Tyne-Weir derby and backs Rafael Benitez to beat the drop Iain Wright, BIS committee chair, said he was disappointed by the eleventh-hour notification after giving Ashley a notice period of three months to make the necessary arrangements.He said: Business leaders regularly come before the committee and answer our questions. Sir Philip Green, for example, has agreed to attend as part of our joint inquiry into BHS.Does Mr Ashley, owning and operating a business in a parliamentary democracy, see himself as being beyond such public scrutiny? What has he got to be frightened of?The committee has a range options to put pressure on Mr Ashley if he fails to attend a meeting.These include going to the floor of the House with a special report on Mr Ashley, which would be debated before issuing him with another summons, but with the weight of the entire parliament behind it.It could also ask Parliament to debate a motion on whether Mr Ashley is a fit and proper person to be in charge of a business, or they could find him in contempt of Parliament for failing to attend a meeting.

A noon downpour turned the 2.25-mile, 13-turn circuit into a slippery strand of roadway, but Bourdais proved to be the best on rain tires. The French driver made it through the first two qualifying rounds and into the Fast Six. "The last lap I knew I was shy and needed some more, so I just went for it and made it stick and that Mystic machine gave me everything it had and it was enough," Bourdais said. It is the second pole of the season for Bourdais and the 33rd of his American open-wheel career, tying him with Dario Franchitti on the all-time list. The KVSH Racing driver ran a 1:24.161 for an average speed of 96.586 mph. It was almost 19 seconds slower than times posted in Saturdays dry morning practice. The slippery track resulted in three stoppages in the first two qualifying sessions, making it hard for drivers to get one lap at speed let alone any rhythm. "Obviously the conditions were really tricky," Andretti Autosport driver James Hinchcliffe said. "The cars just had no grip." It certainly shook up the order for Sundays Honda Indy 200. Series points leader Helio Castroneves and four-time Mid-Ohio winner Scott Dixon failed to get out of their first sessions and will start 15th and 22nd, respectively, in the 22-car field. "Not only was it wet, there were so many yellows that we only got one timed lap in," Castroneves said. "At thee end of the day it was the same for everyone.dddddddddddd We were the first car out and tried some different lines. Sometimes that is not the best place to be. It gives the other guys some direction on where to run." Castroneves will try to make the most of it in the race as he seeks his first IndyCar championship. "Well just have to keep working and hope the race tomorrow is better than qualifying," he said. Bourdais, who won from the pole in the first race at Toronto, will start alongside Josef Newgarden, his best start on a road or street course for Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing. Target Chip Ganassi Racings Tony Kanaan will start third, while Andretti Autosport teammates Carlos Munoz and Ryan Hunter-Reay will be fourth and fifth. Team Penskes Will Power starts sixth. Power trails Castroneves by 13 points and Hunter-Reay is in third, 69 points behind in the drivers standings, so Mid-Ohio could be a turning point in the championship. "Its typical IndyCar," Power said. "Its all mixed up. You dont know who is going to be pole one week to the next. Its great racing. Hopefully we can get together and get a podium tomorrow, maybe a win." There have been 10 different pole winners through 15 races this year. Columbus-born Graham Rahal missed the Fast Six by one-thousandth of a second and will start seventh. Simon Pagenaud of Schmidt Peterson Hamilton Motorsports is fourth in the championship race and will start ninth. Marco Andretti is 16th and last years Mid-Ohio winner, Charlie Kimball is 20th.
