'Healthy people' should be using stores, not online slots - Iceland bossThe managing director of Iceland supermarket said "healthy people" should be using stores to free up delivery slots for the elderly and the vulnerable.
Richard Walker told BBC's Today programme: "I'd actually urge the opposite of the Prime Minister, in that if you are healthy, not in a vulnerable category and adhere to social distancing guidelines, please do shop in store, but make sure you shop responsibly."
He added: "That will enhance priority online for those who need it most."
