Tesco UK chief steps down over illness

Tesco's UK chief executive, Charles Wilson, is stepping down from the company board after being diagnosed with throat cancer. Mr Wilson was formerly boss of food wholesaler Booker, but became Tesco's UK chief following the supermarket's £3.7bn takeover of Booker in March.

Mr Wilson will remain on Tesco's executive committee and will focus on leading the Booker business.
