British online fashion retailer Boohoo will end relationships with any supplier found to have breached its code of conduct.

Boohoo shares slumped more than 12% after The Sunday Times newspaper said workers in a factory in Leicester, central England, making clothes destined for Boohoo were being paid as little as 3.50 pounds ($4.38) an hour.
