Tesco added: "This is a serious allegation, and if anyone has any concerns or information, we would ask them to share those with us through any of our reporting channels including through our confidential Protector Line, so we can investigate." Mr Allan said he was "mortified after making the comment in 2019" and immediately apologised. A spokesperson for Mr Allan said: "The person concerned agreed the matter was closed and no further action was taken."Mr Allan was president of the business lobby group the CBI between 2018 and 2020, then spent just over a year as vice president.
However, a spokesperson for Fox Williams disputes this, stating: "It is not correct that Fox Williams decided not to investigate the allegations made against Mr Allan by the Guardian."
