Tesco chief's pay more than doubles to £10m

The boss of Tesco has seen his pay package more than double to £10m following a bumper share award.

The rest came from shares that were awarded to Mr Murphy when he joined and paid out this year after he surpassed a number of performance targets.

Tesco staff earn £12.02 or £13.13 an hour depending on where they work.
