Ken Murphy has noticed a difference in shoppers at Tesco stores
The boss of Tesco has said the government should make cost-of-living support “more targeted” for the vulnerable as he issued a warning over food poverty.
Mr Murphy told the PA news agency: “It looks like the action by the government has helped but I believe it can be more targeted in the form of who it helps, to help the vulnerable. There should be a case for more means testing with support. There is a certain responsibility that should be shared by businesses, government and communities to help those most at need.
The Trussell Trust also confirmed that 320,000 people used a food bank for the first time between April to September this year and warned that demand in continuing to rise. Tesco said this winter will be “increasingly challenging” for many families as it hailed support from customers and staff through food donations.
