STAFF at stricken electricals chain Comet are calling for ministers to investigate its collapse and the firm's former owners OpCapita.

Angry workers at the group, which has a branch in Tewkesbury Road, Cheltenham, have launched an online petition urging Parliament to look into the way OpCapita ran Comet, which collapsed into administration this month.

More than 1,100 people have already signed the e-petition, which wants OpCapita and its boss Henry Jackson to be questioned over money invested in the firm.

Comet's administration comes just months after it was taken over by the investment firm for a nominal £2 in February.

OpCapita said it invested £35 million in Comet after buying the group, while it also received £50 million from former parent firm Kesa. Staff at Comet want ministers to probe how this money was invested.

The petition states: "The staff of Comet deserve to know everything regarding its downfall as we are currently working under the shadow of redundancy on a day to day basis."
