In 1980, a Sunday Times investigation revealed that in 1978, the Dewhurst chain (Vestey family) paid �10 tax on a profit of more than �2.3m. By this time, Edmund's grandson, also Edmund, and his cousin, Lord Samuel, were at the helm. In an infamous remark the Tory grandee Lord Thorneycroft remarked: "Good luck to them."
