Tesco has reported the worst results in its history with a record statutory pre-tax loss of £6.4bn for the year to the end of February.
That compares with annual pre-tax profit of £2.26bn a year earlier.
It is the biggest loss suffered by a UK retailer and one of the largest in the country’s corporate history.
