Lord Haskins: Tesco takeover is 'quite ironical'

World at One

Available for over a year

The UK's biggest supermarket group Tesco has agreed to buy UK’s biggest food wholesaler Booker Group in a £3.7bn deal. Lord Haskins, who was the Chair of Northern Foods and is now a crossbench peer, says it is an ironic turn of events as "the big out of town stores destroyed these small convenience in town stores thirty years ago" and now Tesco is buying into them.
