Clothing and homeware sales slump after retailer had to halt online orders for more than six weeks
Profits at Marks & Spencer have more than halved after the retailer suffered a damaging cyber-attack, which is still affecting its struggling clothing and homeware business.
The retailer said underlying profits more than halved to £184.1m in the six months to 27 September from £413.1m a year before, after it had to halt online orders of clothing and homewares for more than six weeks.
