Anyone trying to buy booze at Morrisons who looks younger than 25 will have to provide evidence of their age.

Morrisons said the Task 25 scheme was aimed at preventing sales to underage drinkers.

Licensed trades director Grant Eastwood said: "We take our responsibilities seriously and aim to do all we can to help prevent underage sales of alcohol."

"No-one wants to see under-18s buying alcohol and, although no policy is absolutely guaranteed, we are confident that Task 25 will act as an even greater deterrent."

The scheme will also cover people who try to buy cigarettes and knives, he said.

Asda began asking for ID from under 25s last year, a spokeswoman said.
