Amazon director of public policy Lesley Smith was questioned by a parliamentary committee investigating the death of UK town centres as shops close down. She was questioned after shocking new statistics revealed 93,000 retail jobs have been lost in the past year amid a crunch on the high street. But Ms Smith denied Amazon was the problem, insisting retail is a 'changing environment' and her company was simply 'meeting customers where they want to be'.
