Tesco has apologised after a customer was told that period products were not being sold in its Welsh stores due to the devolved administration’s ban on selling non-essential items during the firebreak lockdown.
It comes amid continued confusion and controversy over the ban on supermarkets selling certain items. About 60,000 people have signed a petition to the Welsh parliament calling for it to be reversed immediately, and the policy is now under review.
