Supermarkets call for competition law to be suspended if the coronavirus crisis deepens

Discussions between the chains and Mr Eustice were hastily arranged last week after Matt Hancock, the health secretary, sparked a row about whether they were already liaising to ensure that deliveries would reach vulnerable customers.

A temporary removal of competition restrictions would require the approval of the Competition and Markets Authority. It emerged at the weekend that Tesco had started restricting the number of household items that could be purchased by individual customers.
