                CAROLYN MCCALL RESIGNS AS NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Tesco today announced the resignation of Non-executive Director, Carolyn McCall.

Ms McCall, who is Chief Executive of the Guardian Media Group, told Tesco that
she has decided to stand down because of a conflict of interest that has arisen
following the libel case being brought by Tesco against Guardian News and Media
Ltd.

Accepting the resignation, Tesco Chairman, David Reid said: 'It is with regret
that I accept Carolyn's resignation from the Board. She has been a very good
Non-executive Director at Tesco and has made a strong contribution to the
success of the business.'

Carolyn has served on the Tesco Board since March 2005.
