Tesco criticised over riot claims
26th October 2011
An early day motion tabled by Manchester Central MP Tony Lloyd criticises supermarket giant Tesco for claiming compensation for August’s riots.
Lloyd’s EDM "notes the different responses of different retailers following the recent public disorder in Manchester; applauds the decision of Sainsbury's to refuse to claim under the (Riot Damages) Act because it did not want to place an extra financial and administrative burden on the police; and contrasts this with the position of Tesco which submitted more than 20 claims for compensation including one for £40, which has now been withdrawn".
